--- TroubleShooting ---
Q: Tribes 2 becomes a non-active window everytime I click something in the PDA, why?
A: Opening the mission editor appears to cause this.
S: The only solution that seems to work is restarting Tribes 2 or avoid use of the mission editor.
Q: My game crashes when I host non-dedicated servers.
A: Older versions of Structural Infinity (SI) cause crashes on non-dedicated servers.
S: Uninstall SI, attempt to host again.
Q: My game crashes when I run Tribes 2 in offline mode without an internet connection. OR my dedicated Offline or LAN server crashes on startup.
A: Tribes 2 has buggy TCPObjects and HTTPObjects that crash when there's no internet connection.
S: Uninstall all scripts that require an internet connection. (Including TribesNext's main VL2, tscsri.vl2)
Q: My game crahes when I run Tribes 2 on Linux via WINE.
A: The TCPObject code in older versions of the TribesNext patch is incompatible with WINE.
S: Upgrade TribesNext to the latest version.
Q: The game distorts my MP3 music by turning the pitch up or down.
A: I'm not sure what causes this, T2 has a buggy MP3 player.
S: None.
Q: My game crashes or screws up horribly when I spawn in RPG.
A: I'm not sure what causes this,
S: Delete data/savedData.cs and report the error to a developer.
Q: My dedicated server doesn't load the correct mod! And that mod doesn't even function properly.
A: Tribes 2 cannot function with multiple mods installed to gameData/.
S: Move all other mods (except classic) somewhere else.
Q: My game is all screwed up when I launch the mod.
A: Tribes 2 generates caches (.DSOs) of Tribes 2 scripts for faster loading. But these caches screw up the game.
S: Run JTLdelDSO (in the mod folder) to remove the cached files.
Q: My game crashes from none of the causes above. Why?
A: Tribes 2 sometimes conflicts with itself when there are multiple mods installed.
S: Remove all mods from Gamedata/ except T2Bol. (don't delete them)
