I have DSL, a very fast computer and so on…WHY is it taking so BUSHing long to download ET?
~~~la dee dah
Well, after six hours I finally have ET installed–guess I should have reinstalled my DOWNLOAD MANAGER when I bought my new confuser!
Looks like the game installed correctly–I just picked the first WOLFENSTEIN on the page–anyone know if I should patch it, too?
Well yes, if the W:ET version you download is from this site, it’s probably the 2.55 version. You need to upgrade to 2.60 first, and then “manually” patch it to 2.60b by extracting a few files from a .zip archive into your W:ET folder.
Where might I find the upgrade and patch, then? Is it located here on this site or do I need to search the nether corners of the Web to find it?
The download on this site is 2.60. And look what happens when you type in “wolfenstein 2.60b” into Google. You get this as the first result.
Hardly rocket science. Laziness breeds contempt from others (read: me).
I thankyou for your help. I’ve never played MP onlines before, so excuse my utter ignorance, please. I’m NOT a newbie gamer, not at all, but being rude to me and calling me “lazy” isn’t likely to make me want to stick around here! Simple questions need simple answers, not chastisement!
Complete confutation there. SP games are of nowhere near the level of playing against people. AI vs. HI, Human intelligence will win every time. Welcome to the wonderful world of online gaming, you will meet a lot of people like ayatolla in the world, two ways of getting away from him are searching for the answer yourself every time, or by throwing quiche at him. Enjoy your stay 
afaik, the SD download marked as 2.60 is actually 2.55
many places now have a complete patched installer, my site is one of them, it’s a little fan site at
www.enemy-territory.com
I got it at a fan site. Try getting it here.
Hopefully this will help.
