HELP!!!

(Q-Cumber) #1

I downloaded ET yesterday and it worked fine, but then when i tryed to change my name it messed up and the error message where you can send an error report showed up.

I reinstalled the game and it worked, then i downloaded a bot to try and learn some more before i go online. The game got the same error message as before.

I reinstall 3-4 times and it still dosent work… Whats wrong?

The thing that happens is that when i try to type my name the music stops (repeats it self then the error message shows up)

(Q-Cumber) #2

Atleast try to help me guys… I checked what it was by clicking “see error report” or something and it says this:

AppName: et.exe AppVer: 0.0.0.0 ModName: qagame_mp_x86.dll
ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 00058b77

Can someone please help me :frowning:

You seem to have a rare problem there isn’t really a solution for…

Maybe you can start with usual stuff like updating video, sound and motherboard drivers, and updating punkbuster manually (run pbweb in your pb folder).
Make sure when you reinstall to delete all files from the original folder if there are any.
Try starting the game with etpro (download etpro and add +set fs_game etpro to your shortcut)
These are just some ideas not guaranteed to work :slight_smile:

And give us your system specs

I think it’s also possible to set a name in All Seeing Eye (an external server browser).
So you could change your name there.
And try to join a server via ASE.

(Q-Cumber) #5

i managed to get pass the name thing (had to use my keyboard to select the window where i type my name)

But the error shows up again when i try to make my own server or join a existing one.

I updated all drivers, tryed diffrent mods, installed diffrent versions of directX and so on.

I got an Athlon 800mhz 256mb ram and GeForce2 mx. But the game worked before perfectly so it cant be that.

I guess ill have to format my computer… again… or any other suggestions?

May be one of the options that you’ve changed before.
And is now due to the re-installtion, set to default.

Do you have an old cfg?

What O/S you on m8?

If you uninstall ET from a winxp PC, remember to go thro your “Documents and Settings” Folder and remove any remnants of Enemy Territory Directories.

I uninstalled and re-installed before now without doing this and wondered how the hell it remembers my nick.
