You have proberly installed ET on a different place than c:\program files\Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory\
Please verify your installation, or just reinstall

Hi and thanks for replying,But i have installed ET into the default c:\program files\Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory.

i did not change any install paths yet patch b cant find the game. :rolleyes:

Your error sounds like you started the patch from where you downlaoded it.
2.60b patch, is not a installer. You need to replace the executables in c:\program files\Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory\ by the ones from the patch zip archive.

Can you show a screenshot of your W:ET directory and etmain ?

Ahh yes thats exactly what i was doing,Its working fine now i dragged the 2 files from 2.06b patch into the game direct and now the game launches fine and servers are showing with players in!

Many thanks!

Do you also know,Is there a permanent way of setting a custom screen res rather than having to type this console everytime i start the game?

r_customwidth “1920”
r_customwidth “1080”
r_mode “-1”

Only my screen res of 1920x1080 isnt showing in the game settings.

Sorted now but thankyou for your help. :slight_smile:

Try another ET installer… http://ujeclan.com/downloads.html for example (patched)

AND save your etkey (if you still have one :slight_smile: )

How many Ram do you have?

If you open task manager, do you see smth strange in the graphs? ( like bouncing ram or smth)

Any events bofre or after the crash? (Like AMD driver crash or smth :stuck_out_tongue: )


(Nevakonaza) #15

8GB of ram,Dont see anything strange in task manager when i launch the game…all other games work fine,Just not ET.


(UJERebel) #16

When exactly does it crash?
Can you give us the start up log?

Before the grey screen, you see a log… There is a copy button, but i guess it is saved somewhere too?

And if you set affinity to one core? :slight_smile:

I read on the web, that stackhash crash is related to DEP (Data Execution Prevention) …

Yeah i read about that last night and added ET to the exclusions list but it still crashes. :confused:

At first i thought it migh be because im running windows 7 x64,but i also read alot of people have 7 x64 and have no issues with this game so im just baffled.
