Xernicus Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Ah, I just tried it out... when I try to connect to any of my regular JayMod servers, it's gives me3 an error code 0 and says that it can't load JayMod2.2.0.pk3... But I copied over my PK3 files and ETKey from my regular ET installation- could that be the problem? I have ran the F|A PK3 cleaner numerous times (in both the program files and user files directory)Also, where are the PK3 files kept? %programfiles(x86)%\ETLegacy or %userfiles%\Documents\ETLegacy?Thanks in advance, sorry if this is a dumb question.

Xernicus Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Thanks, I'm sure it'll come in handy. The good ol' original W:ET does not like my new fangled hardware, and I'm looking forward to getting to try out Legacy.As for the etkey's... you just reminded me to back them up (I do it usually quarterly, that way if one gets lost, or is bured deep somewhere I have another copy), so thank you very much!

Shana Posted January 9, 2014 Author Share Posted January 9, 2014 No problem,I think that if they started doing in w:et way they will continue it for some time, and in that case it might get more popular I went through confing stuff for Legacy and it's quite nice by far. I'll try to test it in as many ways as I can Th3o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cumquat Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 What exactly is this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xernicus Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 What exactly is this? http://justf***inggoogleit.com/ I think I made my point. Anyways, it's a "new" version of ET. Many of us have problems running ET because it's not very compatible with new video cards, memory allocation, and multi-cores. It also actually has support, and is actively being developed. There have been many bugfixes I've heard of, and I've seen increases in FPS around 300% (in screenshots) just from the fact that it's written with support for newer computers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clan Friend SunLight Posted January 9, 2014 Clan Friend Share Posted January 9, 2014 and I've seen increases in FPS around 300% (in screenshots) just from the fact that it's written with support for newer computers. and how much, in your case? I tried it but increase is 0% for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xernicus Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 and how much, in your case? I tried it but increase is 0% for me I'll check again once I get home. I could check on my Surface pro 2, but I don't have my ETKey on here, and I don't want any admins thinking that I'm an imposter... I seem to recall about a 200% increase... from an average of 40-50fps to an average of around 90-120fps with ET: Legacy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shana Posted January 9, 2014 Author Share Posted January 9, 2014 Sounds nice by far. After reading lots about this patch, it's worh installing. But every pc is different and as with previous patches there might be some problems also. I know about 1 error by far, not occured to me but to someone, mouse wasn't reacting in game.

Xernicus Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Haven't had that issue, but i can confirm it's hard to navigate the menu. I'll see if that issue occurs on my tablet. I just remoted into my desktop computer and uploaded my ETKey to my skydrive... time to get paid to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shana Posted January 9, 2014 Author Share Posted January 9, 2014 I'm updating it atm, I'm going to write here report about it, pros, cons and that stuff. A message to others if you get any errors or bugs, write them here so others will get informed Th3o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shana Posted January 9, 2014 Author Share Posted January 9, 2014 (edited) So about first impression, "It's awesome!" There are so many things that makes our life easier. For example in W ET we had a dark space in console on the left edge of the screen, in ET L it has been changed for normal background so it's easier to view logs in console. Also before connecting to server check options, there are some new options For example support for hd resolutions,(i have to test alt tab thing on windows...), directories are more tidy. Alt+tab feature works great! No et crashes, no lags during alt tab. There is cvar also for turning of sounds while minimized. Th3o P.S. About hard navigation, it's just cursor upside down, and it's all normal to use Edited January 9, 2014 by Th3ory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
