After downloading a map called Denoflions from an online server, ET crashed. After restarting the game, I can play online, but as soon as I click Host Game the game crashes. I tried to reinstall the game, but the problem is still there. I have of course removed all the files that were installed when the map was downloaded, and I suspect there must be a corrupted config file or something in there somewhere. Can anybody give me an idea of what to do please?

to many .pk3 files in your etmain folder ? ET is known to crash under that circumstance, try deleting old campaign files or move some unneeded maps to a backup folder.

You need to have the following pk3 files in your etmain folder:
pak0.pk3
pak1.pk3
mp_bin.pk3
Everything else can go. If you don’t want to download those custom maps again, simply move them from your etmain folder to another location (like your desktop), then when you’re done hosting your local game, put them back in the etmain folder.
You can also simply delete those extra pk3 files and redownload them from the server when they are needed again.

Deleting a bunch of Campaign .pk files did the trick. It’s now working like before (game still crashing so that I have to restart Windows XP again sometimes though).
