T2 needs to slow down the patches first.The latest one came out this morning 22047 at ftp://ftp3.sierra.com/pub/patches/pc/tribes2/
and I read another one may be out by Wed.
So until they slow their patches down I would not expect to see too many No-disc patches popping up. I've also read people have been having problems with their DVD & CDWR drives not reading correctly,but those same people say that about EVERY new game that goes gold,until some one creates a fix
