Thanks, SchNee & Razi!   :D

 

SchNee, you should add the source-link to your post.

 

A side-effect of this topic is that people searching for those errors may discover the =F|A= Forums!  :)  Multiple search-bots crawl all over the public areas of this site every day.

Awesome job schnee!

 

I saw a similar list somewhere with common errors that are hack related but not obvious ex. "Cvar violation aimkey" etc.. the ones that might fly under the radar.

That might be a French source or copy of a page that I thought I had read in English ...or did I use "translate this page" on your source-site?  (especially familiar is the WWWdownload...bbl8r line)

Great you have the time and patience to do this, kudos!

 

I would like to add:

 

1. If console freezes ET or you can't type in console - delete .dat files from the folder of the mode you're playing.

 

2. For Linux users there's no ET minimizer - press CTR+ALT+ENTER than press console and click with mouse outside ET.

Would advise against deleting the silent.dat file though.

Your link has higher permissions than I can view :lol:

 

If playing et with AMD/ATI graphics cards do "/set r_primitives 2" , this will fix low FPS and what not

 

ET ran like garbage on my new R9 290x when I upgraded a few years ago.

I'm sorry for reviving an old post, but this link doesn't work for me anymore.

 

Would you mind explaining what this fix consist of, please? I have one machine with this problem. r_primitives only helps but doesn't fix the problem.

 

Thank you!

That won't work anymore. Rename et.exe to quake3.exe, and update shortcut to renamed executable
