Sniper1900 Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 Hey guys. I upgraded to 2.76 (thinking I was Doing the right thing) now I can't get on to most =F|A= servers. I get an "invalid character" error. Any help is appreciated. Quote
Sniper1900 Posted January 20, 2019 Author Posted January 20, 2019 Thanks, I just noticed that on the forum, now trying to figure out how to roll back. I deleted my previous installs, (unfortunately lost my etkey as well), so I guess I need to start from the beginning again. I quit playing this game 12 years ago because of problems like this, at least this forum is here to help. Thanks. 1 Quote
Shana Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 Just download 2.75 patch and install it: https://www.etlegacy.com/download/release/275 When starting the game open console and check right bottom corner of the console - there you'll see what version you have currently. 1 Quote
DFighter Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 here you can download the game: run the game as administrator if you have issues after let us know 1 2 Quote

DFighter Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 ET Legacy is full with bugs and lately also there own mallware I also recommend to install the regular ET version that i added in the link above with this version you won't have much problems just make sure that the game runs as administrator once installed /connect jay3.clan-fa.com or come to jay1 there are often admins there that can help you fixing issues if needed In case you still want to play with ETL even i wouldnt recommend it you can still install the normal version and copy the files needed into the ETL version but again ETL is the cause of your issues so i would simply download the regular version 1 1 Quote
Sniper1900 Posted January 20, 2019 Author Posted January 20, 2019 So don't use ETLegacy? Is that possibly why I also never had the 'voice' commands on some of the servers? Someone was trying to help me get it working, but I didn't have the voice menu option. I'll uninstall Legacy and try the original version again. Thanks. 3 Quote
Sniper1900 Posted January 20, 2019 Author Posted January 20, 2019 On a side topic. I made a donation in early January via Paypal , but it doesn't show in my profile. Can someone add it to my profile? A small donation, but I don't want admins thinking I'm leeching off them. Thanks for the help. Quote

Thanks for the help. We never think anyone is leeching any one of us. Either you donate or not donate. We are always here to help. We like to help because we like seeing players playing happily. ETL also deletes the users file without their permission like a trojan/virus. Can you please PM me your paypal ID so i can pull the transaction and add to your profile. On an avg 99% it happens auto. Only sometimes due to some issues, I need to do it manually. Thanks for helping! 1 Quote
Sniper1900 Posted January 20, 2019 Author Posted January 20, 2019 I uninstalled the ETL:, installed the original client, now only the splash wallpaper opens with the et theme song...no menus....I can't shut it down, to get out of the menu I have to sign out of Win10. Any suggestions? Quote

Any suggestions? run the game as administrator right mouse button on the ET icon and run as admin if it wont work can you do this next time if you can the error /condump nameyouchoose in console it will make a text file from your console then we can see what kind of error you have or a printscreen from it is fine too Quote
Sniper1900 Posted January 20, 2019 Author Posted January 20, 2019 running as admin, xp compatibility mode, I don't have the console, or any menus, only the ET wallpaper and theme music, shows the arrow, looks like it's running 640x480 resolution. Quote
DFighter Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 in explorer my documents there's a 2nd ETL map i think its the cause of this make sure everything from it is deleted i think its mallware is the cause of this Quote
Sniper1900 Posted January 20, 2019 Author Posted January 20, 2019 I think I have the original version working now. I uninstalled, deleted the folder, restarted PC, reinstalled 2.60b custom. I tried the beginner servers, and can connect. Hopefully this is the end of this, and I can get back to the game to give you guys a live target. 7 Quote
