Name changes

If you've recently connected to your favorite server only to find your name changed, then say hello to Dr Arsenic.
Hacks of this nature are facilitated by all master servers, but we're working on a fix.
Meanwhile, you can add one line to your autoexec.cs to prevent it from happening.

Clancore stops development of Starsiege 2845

Starsiege 2845 is a vehicle based game set in the Tribes universe.

Trajan wrote:While this is the end of Starsiege 2845, this is not the end for Clancore. The majority of us have decided to continue on and develop our own fictional universe and a corresponding conversion MOD for the upcoming Unreal Tournament 3. In retrospect, this is something we should have done 2 years ago.

Starsiege 2845 was initially a mod for Tribes Vengeance, but when T:V was deemed unsuitable for the project, it was moved to the Torque engine as a stand alone game. Clancore released the ATR demo last year using the Torque Game Engine and had planned to move to the TGEA engine using the same codebase.

With four years into the project and another engine change looming, CC is packing it in.
