Tech Help - Getting the game to work on Windows 10

Post by LUNCHBOX »

I recently purchased a new computer system...

I am able to open Tribes but it opens in a minimal window (1/4 size of the full screen) and I cannot click on anything in the game window.

I cannot click on play game, quick start or options. The mouse can be seen hovering over the tribes game window but it is not recognized.

Any suggestions much appreciated!!

Thank you!

Right click on the .exe and click on the Compatibility tab at the top. Check the box next to 'Disable display scaling on high DPI settings' and then click Apply.

If that doesn't work I also found this.
Fixed it. The issue? My desktop screen resolution was too high.

My default screen resolution is 1920x1080, I had to lower it to 1366x768.

I also have the Tribes shortcut set to Compatibility Mode for Windows XP SP 2

Then when opening the game the cursor was working, and I changed my in-game video settings to Fullscreen, Fullscreen Driver OpenGL, and resolution 1366x768.

And now I am actually able to run the game without having to downgrade my resolution first.
