W:ET compatable with windows vista ?

(Deano) #1

:stroggtapir: Hey , Need some help. I play W:ET 2.55 and when i aim at someone the hitbox seems to be 1 cm to the right for some wierd reason. Also when you do com_maxfps 150 it settles at 166. How can i come across these problems lol ? :stroggbanana:

Ehr… W:ET 2.55 is by no means supported any more, seeing how the game got patch to 2.60b.

games get updates for good reasons, such as fixing hitboxes, closing security holes and other bug fixes
as 2.55 is no longer supported for those very reasons, I doubt anyone wants to downgrade their game to bug check for you. The answer will always be patch to 2.60

like i sed, i still have this problem at .60 and .6b !!! so i guess windows vista aint really for ET ?

like i sed , i do play .60 and .6b and i still have that problem. So i guess windows vista doenst work good with ET ?

ET works very well under Vista, so the problem may lie in your setup

Actually, the hitbox issue might be something that never got fixed. You should try ETPro to see if it works there, normally Bani & crew should have slammed that bug.

There are around 400 servers in et 2.55 and a lot of people still playing here. I myself started in 2.55 and many people i know still play here so no reason to upgrade to 2.60b (playing since oct 2005).
Anyway to help answer your question, i believe there is an issue in your config, cause it’s nearly imposible that the hitboxes to be changed so easy. Try to reinstall the drivers of your mouse. Not working, try thiss simple script that allows you to move the crosshair around the X-Y axes. Play with this untill you discover the point to target.
