Invalid .pk3 files

[Re Born]

Good morning y'all,

 

I am playing wolfET again since 16 years ago.

But i remembered that there were downloading issues that time.

So again i have issues.

 

Can anyone help me with the attached print screen i added?

 

Thank You!

Hi!

 

most of the time you just closing completely your game will help out. This happens to me sometimes when i disconnect from a server and try to connect to another one

 

Have you allowed downloads? Option > game > set it like the SS bellow

 

What can help is make a clean up in your etmain folder and remove some .pk3 files, clean up the mod folder. Maybe you have bad files

 

On what server and what mod did you try to connect to? sometimes if you have older versions of a certain mod or pk3's it can cause this or if you have multiple folders with same mod...

 

This one is a long shot but you can have a corrupted ETKey

 

Before doing any of the above can you take a screenshot of your ET folder so we can check it out

If you want to follow this part, you can use our pk3 cleaner here:

I have downloaded the cleaner so that's done.

 

What folder do you need a screenshot of?

Just inside your ET folder, where we see all the mods folders you et.exe etc....

I know the kick message is mentioning invalid pk3 files but afaik it also gives "unpure kicks" if your not running ET as admin??

 

Is the install new? or is it a 16 year old install? if its 16 years old you might need patching to 2.60b as it'll be 2.55??

Right-click on ET shortcut, Properties, Compatibility - Run As Admin

It is a ETlegacy type of ET, i will try and run it as admin from now on.
