Help! ET: Game code (ui_mp_x86.dll) failed pure server check


(GojiraRed) #1

Anyone know what the error message in the title means? Why am I getting it?

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Seems as if that dll is different from the servers. This dll changes with different mods.


(GojiraRed) #3

Could it change with different patch versions? I had forgot to apply the 2.60 patch before.

'Course now everything just freezes with the patch. I guess the next question is: Does RTCW:ET work with Windows Vista?


(ayatollah) #4

Yes W:ET works with Vista, I have it running. The different patches/mods change that dll so if you don’t have the same patch/mod on your machine as is on the server it will probably give this error.

Same dll error every time for mee too. Try now 2.60 and 2.60b but every server refuse me. Tested for +20 servers.

And yes, I have Vista.

Jeps - found it. At Vista user haven’t admin power. Files won’t upgrade to ET folders as they should be at startup and got errors. No trouble at all if you run Vista with Admin power but that’s waste of security.

As user - simply start game run as administrator and all goes like XP time :slight_smile:

ET has to be run as admin anyway because of PunkBuster. :frowning:

(kamikazee) #10

Sorry that I’m not helping, but I know why I don’t run Vista.


(ayatollah) #11

You must run the game as Admin. It doesn’t seem to matter if it is the Admin account, you still have to Run as Admin.

control panel>user accounts and family safety>user account>turn user account control on or off>UNCHECK the box that says: Use User account Control (UCA) to help protect your computer.

disable the UCA…

that seems to have worked for some people with same prob
