BloodSpark22 Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 (edited) I came back to ET today, and I still had the game installed with a lot of mods or something like that installed. I wanted to remove all of them to play it vanilla (or legacy or whatever it's called). I didn't know how, so I just completely uninstalled the game, I kept the etkey as everyone says that everywhere I go. I downloaded the installer from the game's page, and after installing it, it gave this error message. After looking around the internet, people said to download from a link here on FA. It gave the same error message. Tried to download the file from the internet, cuz someone recommended that, and even gave a link. Didn't work either. Can someone please give me actual advice that works? Thank you P.S.: I just want normal ET, I don't want those menu changers or mods or any thing like that.

Leader Solution RedBaird Posted May 25, 2021 Leader Solution Share Posted May 25, 2021 (edited) Your "current search path" is corrupted. It should not be "... Territory\etminizer/etmain " It should not have that minimizer section in it. Your "current search path" should be "C:\Program files (x86)\Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory/etmain". I have a shortcut to ET.exe in a folder on my desktop (Win 10). The properties for the shortcut include these: Target "D:\Program Files (x86)\Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory\ET.exe" I installed my ET in D-drive, not C-drive. Start In "D:\Program Files (x86)\Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory" In the Advanced tab page, I have checked "Run as Administrator". I would check those two properties, Target & Start, for the proper paths first.

BloodSpark22 Posted May 25, 2021 Author Share Posted May 25, 2021 (edited) Thanks so much for the help, I dunno why the shortcut was set to that path, the installer just did it for some reason. 18 minutes ago, RedBaird said: Your name does show up on TBS as having connected to another clan's server, but with a ping 999 Yeah, back when I played for the first time, I downloaded this to play offline LAN with my sister. A few years back, when I got a pc upgrade, I was looking for free low-end pc games to play with my friends (despite an upgrade my pc still wasn't the best), and I (re)found this game. And I was shocked when I discovered there were A LOT of people playing this, with bazillion online servers, so I just went from server to server. My internet was trash, still is, and with all the freaking downloads I had to do because of the custom servers, probably led to those 999 ms. 14 minutes ago, RedBaird said: FA has a Full Version Download in our Files Section Yeah I saw that, I even mentioned it in my question. Again, thanks so much for your help in this topic Edited May 25, 2021 by BloodSpark22 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The FA Installer version is guaranteed "pure and above board"! 😄 When you go "server to server" you tend to collect a lot of add-on *.pk3 files. The first time that I ever ran a demo-replay, each of them seemed to add an "element", usually graphical, like near-naked-medic-ladies-in-fishnets, strange symbols above players heads, etc., etc. The Demo was a chaotic kaleidoscope! We have a "pk3-cleaner" program that removes corrupted and incomplete downloaded files in your etmain, along with pk3s from other servers, It leaves the FA-menu pk3 and other FA-related files that should not interfere with your playing on non-FA servers. Some posters asking for help on FA forums have found that just running our PK3-cleaner removes some "bad" files from other servers that were causing problems for them when trying to play ET at all! You can look through our files-section for other "goodies", too. 😄 https://fearless-assassins.com/files/ ADDED: BTW, I did not mark my reply as "best answer" and I cannot tell who did it!

I can tell you who it was. Surprisingly, it was me all along. 18 hours ago, Buckwild said: Right-click on Desktop ET shortcut, Properties, Compatibility(tab): Fill in box: Run As Admin...Press OK Yeah I'm used to doing that with other old games and such, *cough cough* cracked games and from that custom resolution "hack" for ET. Thanks anyway, some other guy that struggles with this problem may find this and it will help them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
