Update your Vid card drivers and if that doesnt help change your r_mode to 4. (In etconfig.cfg)

[SL!VER]

how i do that?

[Saizou]

Well for downloading drivers you gotta look up on the graphics card manufacturer's website for them.

For the config file go to your Wolfenstein directory and then into etmain folder, you'll see etconfig.cfg file. Open it up with a notepad (or even better notepad++), find the line which looks like this:

seta r_mode "X"

where X is some number, so change it to 4 and save the file.

It should look like this:

seta r_mode "4"

Try starting ET and see if it works.

 

I got that error once before and the outdated drivers were the cause of it, tried running XP drivers on Win7.

[Guest R..pace!]

Hope you get it fixed so we can all own you when you come online

[SL!VER]

i dont see a config file anywhere!!!

[SL!VER]

ok i found a lot of config. files but none with that name

[Saizou]

How about drivers then? Also you never said what your OS was, maybe you have to run it in admin mode if you have Vista/Win7?

running in admin mode wont fix his problem, i think. and have you updated your drivers? just doign that may help

[Saizou]

Well had to ask, I ran out of ideas

[Papito]

You can use this trial Everest software to check your drivers!
