What's up, man?

At what point is it failing? Install, launch, connect? Any messages on the screen?

Most people install ET Legacy now a days.

on your et short cut on your desk top, right click on it and open it up to see the et files. You should see a file called etmain. your cfg needs to be there. If your running Legacy I'm not sure. Get on Team Speak and I'm sure some one can help.

Also - if default install (e.g. C:\Program Files(x86)) You'll need to run the game as administrator, or it won't run from the installation location.

Have you tried placing the cfg on the Silent folder instead of etmain? For some reason mine doesn't recognize the one I have on etmain but does on that folder.

#17: Re: et help Author: PinkRanger,

You have posted in this forum: Wed Jan 03, 2018 5:56 pm

like place it in both or one or the other?

#18: Re: et help Author: Anto*,

You have posted in this forum: Wed Jan 03, 2018 6:03 pm

You can have one in etmain and one in silent if you want.

Dam Sin if I had any less respect for you I would call you a jack wagon.

PRanger start at the beginning again. Some questions for you.
Did you make a new cfg?
Did you get a new computer and your trying to put old cfg in it?
A little detail on what’s happening would help. It’s a simple fix,need to know where you are making the mistake. At the beginning or when you are trying to /exec in game.

Have you tried google? Google is not just about finding a porn site.

PRanger here's a small video and pay attention on how he saves the file. Usally people make a mistake there.

That's actually somewhat reasonable. It's the latest good version of Windows.

How is loading an 8-year-old OS on a brand-new PC reasonable to you? O_o

Also please tell me how Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 are not good versions of Windows. I loaded Windows 8.1 onto my PC when I first built it in April 2014 and used it happily until I upgraded to Windows 10 in January 2016. I've been using Windows 10 for two years now and I've been perfectly happy with it.

I PM'ed you my number and told you to text me. Haven't gotten a text yet. Razz

I also told you to add me on Steam and I haven't gotten a request on there either. O_O

But anyway, I would definitely try uninstalling and re-installing if you haven't yet. If that doesn't work, try downloading ET: Legacy to see if that works better for you. A lot of us use Legacy and quite like it.

Might be worth explaining what the fix was for the benefit of others in the future.

#33: Author: Jayd,

Oh sorry, I didn't think to post it since it was something so silly. Basically Pink named his config "etconfig.cfg" even though Windows was hiding file extensions so he didn't need to add the .cfg. So technically the name of the file was actually "etconfig.cfg.cfg" so when he was typing /exec etconfig.cfg, the game wouldn't find the file since it was actually called etconfig.cfg.cfg.

All I did was take off one of the .cfg and boom! Loaded right up.

#34: Re: et help Author: PinkRanger,

also he had too update my graphics because the game was acting weird!

#35: Author: Jayd,

You have posted in this forum: Fri Jan 12, 2018 12:55 pm

Yeah, that too. Had to remove his old video drivers with DDU and install the latest ones from AMD's website.
