ET will not complete the profile page

[Ian]

Hi All, 

Just reloaded ET as I want to play it again,  Opened it as Admin and the first page, profile appears. I complete this and when I hit create, it give a error message about connection and to use modem if unsure.

I have no idea on how to fix it, 

 

TIA

When you open as admin do you mean either of the following:

 

1) Right click on et.exe shortcut and click "Run as Administrator" or

2) Right click on et.exe shortcut and click on Properties > Compatibility > check "Run this program as administrator" > Apply

 

It is recommended you do the second option.

 

But as @captnconcrete mentioned, it is recommended to screenshot the exact error message.

Maybe you forgot to select the connection type?

For me it sounds like FireWall issue.

Hello!

 

I guess (through your post) that the error message is :

"please select your connection type if you are unsure what to select, choose modem"

 

It is because you haven't chosen any connection type on your profile - so the game is not able to create your profile.

 

Choose LAN/CABLE/xDSL (to have a rate set to 25000) - don't choose "modem" 😄

Hey.

 

It should work when you have legacy or steam.

 

Problem will be def for not selecting connection.

 

You probably got it by now and if not, follow the guy tips.

 

Cheers
