hello team need to reinstall


(grassi) #1

hello, i have enemy territory installed on my computer. I just play at one maybe 2 servers, Im in a clan and was advised to reinstall the game. the following is a quote from a leader of the clan, a friend and server. I might need more help with these instructions, so i figured i would let you see his advise.

I would recommend reinstalling ET in c:\Program Files\Enemy Territory and copy spqradmin from your old installation ETMAIN into the new one. Then copy the old ET.KEY from ETMAIN folder to the new installation.
Connect to SPQR server with the freshly installed game in Program Files and wait till downloads are all complete.
Try the Medpacks and if it is better keep playing the new installation. Better hold on to the old one a little longer for backup. If the new one is not better than the old game installation, you might have a firewall or viruskiller running in the background, or you might have been infected with spyware or a keylogger. Do a sweep with antispyware software like “spybot search and destroy” , “spysweeper” or “hitman pro” . In fact do this before you reinstall ET. ialready deleted 70 somethin files in et pub, that i didnt need cause after that it still worked. But took a long time and hard to find out which ones i needed.
It could be what is causing your problem come to think of it.
Another culprit can be lack of memory. All these pk3 files will be loaded into ET on startup. The fresh installation will have only the essential pk3’s installed so if this is what is causing your problems, the fresh install into a different folder will cure that. If you insist on having your game in desktop study the directory list of the fresh install and create a folder in the old etmain and call it “unused pk3”
move all the unused pk3’s into that folder so you will end up with a directory list that is identical with the fresh install.

At last do a /set com_hunkmegs to half of your physical RAM . If you have 1GB RAM do /set com_hunkmegs 512
if you have 512 RAM do /set com_hunkmegs 128
Videocard can be spiked up by /set com_maxfps 300

…i guess for starters i need to reinstall et but i dont know which ones to download from this link http://www.splashdamage.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Downloads&file=index&req=viewdownload&cid=7 i was originally having lots of lag problems, my computer is defineitly compadable. But i managed to load my et main up with unneccessary files. Im having trouble passing out health in the game, when i hit my button it only works when it wants to, same with my field ops air strikes or ammo packs . Theres almost like a long delay? Im also really laggy. sorry for the long post but like i said i wanted u to see the whole picture, as i might need further assistance. my computer system is microsoft windows xp> hp pavillion>amd athlon 3000+>2.10Ghz, 448 Mb of ram…whatever that means lol

(Nail) #5

just run the patch, it should install itself correctly


(grassi) #6

k. thankyou


(grassi) #7

i clicked on 2.60 Client and Server Patch (Windows) (5), which gave me 5 options. which one do i use the 2nd option i have says et client patch and thats the easiest, the other 4 say (windows) but then bring me to a whole nother set of choices, also im getting different file sizes on these options. Maybe you can link me directly to the one i need? Please? is the client one any different than the windows ones?.. Does anyone know which one

just run the patch, it should install itself correctly
it asks where you want to save the file, so do i put it in my wolfenstein folder, my et main or c:programs ???


(Etnies) #8

Just keep clicking next, you shouldnt have to change anything really, it will install it to the correct place for you, then your ready to play in 2.60 servers. Et has no name registeration anyone could use your name as long as your not in the same server, so basicallly anyone can use any name they like. (within pb limits)

Why oh why?

I’d recommend “/set com_maxfps 76”.


(grassi) #10

ETNIES; thanks for that reply ill give it a try, but still dont know which one to click on, every link ive gotten brings me to other options?

DR.GONZO: LOL, i will try your suggestion as well to see the differances thanks.http://www.splashdamage.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Downloads&file=index&req=viewsdownload&sid=10…is the et client patch the same as the others that say(windows)


(Etnies) #11

The other options are just different places (mirrors) to download the same file :

(nUllSkillZ) #13

If you click the link above a download box shows up.
Save “ET_patch_2_60.exe” to disk.
Then run this exe.


(grassi) #14

i dont have an option to save this to a disk, dont i save it to either my et folder, et main or my c:program file? program files is already highlighted?


(nUllSkillZ) #15

It’s not important where you save the patch.
I save the patches I’ve downloaded not in the game directories.
I have “special” folders for them (c:/spiele/downloads/et/patches).

uh ok, i thought it mattered, thank u again.
