(exarch) #1

okay, i dont know where to post this so i ddecided that the dev’s forum is a good place to start:

my et keeps crashing. I updated all my drivers and it keeps crashing on me. i have an ati card and tried the solution found in this forums sticky, no help. so whats up w this?

How does it crash?
To desktop or just freeze etc.


(exarch) #3

unknown exception or whatever
a screen asking me to send m$ some data bout the crash


(Sauron|EFG) #4

Do you have some obscure hardware, like integrated graphics?


(exarch) #5

ati x800 pro 256mb… msi neo2… no integrated crap

When does it crash?

It’s “normal” that ET crashes if you have downloded files from the server.
After downloading and crashing try to re-join that server.

Valid CdKey is not reaching GuidAuth server

what does this mean
i thought you dont need a cdkey for this game


(EB) #8

The cdkey is created by punkbuster.

Bring down the ‘console’ with the tilde key (~) and type \pb_webupdate ( or join an etpro server )

if the connection is refused or the problem recurs, exit game and restart. Try again.

Do what it says on the tin, try again in one day or goto one of the countless other servers without it :slight_smile: ,if you get this stressed out by just trying to connect to a server I wouldn’t like to see how stressed you get when you are getting splattered on the game lol


(exarch) #12

yes i am pulling out my hair since 80% of the servers i try to go on give me that bullshit error “valid cdkey cannot reach guidauth blahblah”
i can only play on a few servers, cant even connect to a server where i ping 20


(exarch) #13

well fuck it, a new problem has arisen (this game sure is full of problems)!

my video settings keep resetting back to 800x600 from 1024x1600 or whatever (+ highest settings)

how do i prevent this?


(Jaquboss) #14

just prevent creating .pid file in your profile dir ( eg. disable writing for new files there for example…)


(Nail) #15

put this in your autoexec
seta r_mode “-1”
seta r_customwidth “1280”
seta r_customheight “1024”
