Whenhigh Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 Hi there, I will receive my new computer tomorrow But... Will I keep the same GUID and xp saved or I will have everything new ? I am a real noob in configuration, so I will probably need help Quote
Quovadis Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 just backup your etkey and you should be fine http://fearless-assassins.com/tutorials/article/198-backing-up-restoring-your-etkey-guid/ 3 Quote
Whenhigh Posted September 10, 2015 Author Posted September 10, 2015 Thanks Quovadis, email auto-sent with my etkey. I'll be back for graphics and other configurations when my new PC will be set up !

MosesIsComingLookBusy Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 remember to send your etmain GUID, Silent GUID, and the other mod guid for your lvl Quote
menatwork Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 Make a full backup of your ET installation (you might even be able to simply copy it over); either way, one file is import - that's your ETKEY which should be in your etmain folder. If you play on a server running Silent (I think Fun1 is a silent mod server - but don't quote me on that) there's one more file which is also important, that's 'silent.dat' it's in your 'silent' folder.

AnG3L Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 Happy guy Like say upper, just save your et key and put it in your et main folder. Quote
Quovadis Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 Your new PC using AMD graphic, you might notice huge FPS drops due to incompatibility since recent drivers updates. Most people will tell you to use r_primitives 2 but a better fix is to rename your .exe from ET.exe to quake3.exe which makes the game loads the correct libraries and fix all driver related issues. 1 Quote
Whenhigh Posted September 15, 2015 Author Posted September 15, 2015 Hey guys, I'm so sad... The computer I ordered was not working, Amazon took it back this morning. I had it for 830€ instead of 1500-1700... at warehouse deals, but they told that only the packaging was used.... So, I'm still running with my HP Pavilion dv7 Thanks for your tips anyway ! Quote
jaie Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 so they put 800 euro pc in 1500 euro box? 1 Quote
Whenhigh Posted September 15, 2015 Author Posted September 15, 2015 so they put 800 euro pc in 1500 euro box? Kind of that, yes. 1st bad experience with amazon warehouse deals, but the worst ! Quote
Bon Scott Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 I'd rather just move ET file folders from your backup, after paste on Program Files Quote
RiPp3r Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 To bad about the computer. Better to build a comp from scratch. Then you get the parts you like and be able to upgrade in the future I recently helped my big bro to upgrade his old comp the other day. I built him the old comp about 8y ago.. it was really time to upgrade it. 1 Quote

BTW I did it but gameboster can't find "ET.exe" (quake3.exe). Edited September 17, 2015 by Piotr2 Quote
