I cant connect to your server using ETLegacy, works fine on OG ET [Recursive Error]

[uni]

So the title says it all, this is the error code:

   
ERROR: Fail -00-: Can't open PK3...
********************
       0 Sys_LoadGameDll -> FS_CL_ExtractFromPakFile(C:\Users\uni\OneDrive\文档\ETLegacy, jaymod, ui_mp_x86.dll)
       0 Sys_LoadDll(C:\Users\uni\OneDrive\文档\ETLegacy\jaymod\ui_mp_x86.dll)... succeeded
       0 Sys_LoadDll(jaymod/ui) found vmMain function at 5D844B00
       0 Total favorite servers restored: 0
recursive error 'Fail -00-: Can't open PK3...' after: Fail -00-: Can't open PK3...
       0 SDL input devices shut down.

By OG ET You mean 2.60b?

 

When downloading ETLegacy did You download the 32 or 64bit version?

If You want to connect to most of the servers with ETLegacy You should download the 32bit.

I doubt he is using the 64 bit version as "Sys_LoadDll(jaymod/ui) found vmMain function at 5D844B00"  check the PK3 files in your ETLegacy directory for jaymod by default this is in My Documents. If downloading new copies do not allow you to connect then I would try running ETLegacy as administrator as it may not have privileges to look at that directory depending on how you installed. 

 

But this is just assuming that sys_loadDLL finding the vmMain function assumes the DLLs loaded correctly seeing as you FS_CL_EXtractFromPakFile found jaymod, ui_mp_x86.dll.   But also lookiong at your error and file path your loading Etlegacy files from onedrive? Thats a horrid idea...

Hi guys, thanks for the fast replies.

I dont know why the hell it was installing it on onedrive, I didnt tell it to do that, I disabled this Onedrive bs, also lmao why was the folder in chinese?  Anyway its all sorted out now, I redownloaded etlegacy, the 32 bit version and now its not routing through onedrive and its fine, could connect. Thank u guys

I was searching for that error statement for ETLegacy, but only found this in the release history.

Quote

2.71 rc 2 (unreleased)  // appears to be from 2013 // 
     Engine

Fixed recursive crash when home path cannot be created

 

If they have not fixed this problem, then others can receive the error for similar problems.  

 

I added [recursive] to the title to help anyone in the future to find this post and the solution.
