I just made a fresh install of ET.
I patched it immediately with v2.60b (put et.exe and etded.exe in game folder). Then I tried to connect to a ETPro 3.2.6 server, but got this error:
Couldn’t load an official pak file; verify your installation and make sure it has been updated to the latest version.
I get it each time I try to connect.
I’d like to hear from you guys before I uninstall and do everything over again.
You have to install the 2.60 patch before applying 2.60b, not doing so will leave you without the official pk3 files that were included in 2.60.
As I said, this is a fresh install, so I don’t have any “unneeeded pk3 files”.
How do I do that without connecting to a ETPro server?
That worked. Thanks for helping me out.
You can download ET-Pr from here:
http://bani.anime.net/etpro/download.html
You should try the download from a gameserver first.
Which is what I was trying to do in the first place when I got the error, but back to my question: How would I install ETPro onto a freshly-installed ET with those files?
Unzip them using the directory structure in the zip file so that you get a subfolder named etpro under your Enemy Territory folder.
This will make it possible to host your own etpro server, which you cannot do if you only download the etpro client pk3 from an ET server.

Hm, yeah. Nice to know this for later some time. I just remembered that I’d have to have a copy of the qagame-files locally in order to do /devmap <mapname>.
official paks are named pakN.pk3 or mp_bin.pk3
ETPro will not cause this error, as it doesn’t use these names. Trying to connect to a newer server with an older version will. The most common cause of this error is not having installed all the required updates.
Some uneducated server admins also sometimes create a pak files with one of the magic names.
The console should tell you exactly which pak was missing.
edit:
Manually installing etpro should not be required to play online. Just connect to an etpro server with downloads enabled. If you want to host games you will have manually install it.
Sorry to wake this thread up but i got this message after i uploaded new map i created.
If i loose this map server runs again, but i have to get ride of the file in etmain.
I know the 2.55 bug. If to many pk3 files are there server behaves kind of strange.
But this is new for me 
after compiling map gradient starts et and i tryed the map. everything ok. (etmain)
But if i put it in game directory(jaymod) the map will load but ppl cant connect due this error.
does any1 know what could be the problem??
I don’t think you are supossed to put maps in the mod folder, but in the etmain folder, regardless of the mod you are running.
And this error is caused by having too many pk3 files regardless of the mod. (I have also had this problem on etpro and I play 2.60b)
A temporary fix is sometimes to delete the mod folder, but the best way is to reinstall ET and copy over the most played maps and your etkey, and then start again.
sorry but ya got me wrong on several issues…
First…im not that stupid i would put a map in jay folder…(my mistake i just mensiond it wrong)
2 … Server is running on 2.55
Deleting it all woudnt do much good, because made several try´s and i KNOW for sure its the map.
So here is my problem.
Does any1 know what could be causing this error… BUT only map related stuff.
This has nothing to do with et install or 2.55 pk3 bug.
Made a MAP, made several versions…all were running fine. Till the last 1.
No client can connect after i changed to newer version. Server runs…no problem.
But clients can´t connect due error message.
Thx in advance…
well what did you change in the latest version?
Also is it mod specific?
(I also made a glitched map once that gave you 10k XP battle sense for no reason, never found out why)
