Nourve Posted May 21, 2022 Posted May 21, 2022 Hi everyone, I have been trying to connect to the server(s) multiple times, however it always tell me the followings: download failure while getting: http:\\redirect.dediserverhosting.com\silent\zz_silent90-0.7b.pk3 Also tell me that other 3 pk3s are missing. I have deleted those files, nothing. I have reinstalled from Steam, from ETLegacy, from the official website, always the same issue. What can I do? I am a player from 2005's era, used to play this game like crazy. Would be nice to get back to it. Thanks in advance! Quote
RendeL Posted May 21, 2022 Posted May 21, 2022 Hello and welcome to the forums. Try type in these commands before joining a server: seta cl_wwwDownload "1" seta cl_allowDownload "1" 2 Quote

RendeL Posted May 21, 2022 Posted May 21, 2022 Ok. Then did you allow ET on your firewall? Also try run game as admin, tho it shouldn't be needed on new versions. Quote

Valk Posted May 21, 2022 Posted May 21, 2022 Have you tried using the 2.6b version of ET, to see? Quote
RendeL Posted May 21, 2022 Posted May 21, 2022 And you could try running this first: If it wont help, install game here: Also do not install punkbuster as it is not needed anymore. Quote
Solution Nourve Posted May 21, 2022 Author Solution Posted May 21, 2022 I have solved it! But I am unsure whether it would be a sustainable solution. This is what I did: 1. I used VPN to connect to the USA 2. The game downloaded the necessary pk3 files + the map 3. I disconnected from the VPN (otherwise I would have 200+ ping) 4. Now I can play. (5. however, I suspect that I will have to do this procedure every time there is a new map...) Quote

You could download all the necessary maps that FA have on the servers and add them into your ET mod folders, so in future you can skip doing this method. 1 Quote

UPDATE As I expected, the game will disconnect when there is a new map coming, as it cannot download it for some reason. Quote
