Menzo has finally spilled the beans and posted over at TribalWar that the Tribes: Vengeance Multiplayer Demo will be released tomorrow at 10am Pacific Daylight Time:

Ok, the multiplayer demo is done, we are going to release it tomorrow at 10am Pacific Daylight Time.

There aren't any exclusives on this. I was originally going to ask people who wanted to host the demo to PM me but Colosus kindly informed me that everyone would PM me even if they weren't planning to host it.

And since I can't test everyone's bandwidth you'll just need to grab it from FilePlanet, GameSpot, or somewhere else tomorrow and mirror yourselves. Or throw up a tracker for BitTorrent. Your call.

Ok guys, I know this really sucks, but we found a really big problem with the multiplayer demo after it had already been seeded. We're going to have to delay it by a day or so to fix the bug.

Here's the bug we found: if you install the MP demo, then install the full game, then un-install the MP demo (which makes sense to do), the uninstaller for the demo whipes out your CD key information for the full game. Big problem.

So we look really stupid right now.

We seeded the demo file to quite a few mirrors for distro tomorrow morning. I'd like to ask your help in making sure that, if you see it go up, you let that site know that it's not the right file. The multiplayer demo will not go up tomorrow. It's certainly possible it'll be Wednesday, but you can imagine how gun shy I am about that right now.

Sorry.
