Stryder Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 Does anyone know anything detailed regarding Wolfenstein Enemy Terrirory?i have a FRESH installation of Microsoft Windows XP 32 bit and a FRESH installation of Wolfenstein Enemy territory [ ET.exe] and it will NOT run / execute even with the starter pro patch selector. Even after un-installing and re-installing. I have Avast anti-virus, not too sure about any firewalls. ET.exe simply will not launch. very unusual software bug. It SHOULD easily run on a FRESH installation of XP and with a fresh installation of ET.exe. Any ideas would be greqtly appreciated? thanks, Stryder Quote
Aniky Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 First of all it would be helpful any kind of error messages u are getting when u try to run et. Secondly did u install all the patches at correct order? Meaning, u install Main ET as first, then u follow by 2.6 patch and afterwards with 2.6b patch. When done with that, add the patch selector and minimizor and any other extra programs u wish to use. To download 2.6 patch click here To download 2.6b patch click here Like i said, it would be greatly helpful if u would write or post screenshots of any kind error messages u are getting, as that would help us to fix ur problem.

ajnl Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 (edited) Try this one: http://filebase.trackbase.net/et/full/WolfET_2_60b_custom.exe And then run pk3 cleaner so u will have our menus. If you need any help, please let us know. I used the link Dare gave, which worked for me. (never played W:ET before today lol). I believe it is already 2.60b, so no need to patch. (correct me if I am wrong) Got it from this topic Edited August 31, 2012 by ajnl Quote
slenderman Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 I'll try to not say what people said above so I'll give different solutions as will. 1.Try disabling the firewall before you start up ET 2.Run as administrator, this usually solves problems on win 7 but I'm not so sure about win XP 3.Try a different download source, I downloaded mine from download.com, but use the link that ajnl supplied first 4.If what everyone above said didn't work try to play ET with no patch, meaning the way it was downloaded Quote

The game should launch by itself even if it's an older 2.55et.exe, so when you click wolfenstein does the box even come up for a second or is it just dead? Quote
Stryder Posted August 31, 2012 Author Posted August 31, 2012 @light the grey starter box pops up then et.exe problem invades me Quote
slenderman Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 You didn't say anything about using the pk3 cleaner, try using that and cleaning up your ETmain folder a bit Quote
Jefke Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 pretty sure that version already got the patches installed, if I may believe the naming of the exe that is. (let me try that for you ^^) 1 Quote
Levi Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 I'm going to research this a bit more, but what graphics card are you running. Make sure your drivers are up to date on your graphics. If your getting the classic "ET.exe has encountered a problem and has to close" with the loading bar which it seems so it could mean so many problems. We will just narrow it down. Also uninstalling Wolfenstein via add/remove programs doesn't work. I think you got a bad copy of Wolfenstein, and then downloaded more copies and its conflicting because it doesn't know what to launch. Navigate via computer > programs files, and delete the wolfenstein folder. Delete anything that says wolfenstein, and download a new copy (sorry again), but only do this if you see multiple wolfenstein folders. Quote
