Odd ET Problem

[-=HipKat=-]

So, I got my new computer up, without a GPU, so I'm using on board Graphics.

Installed ET and when it starts, it goes to a black screen. I can hit alt-tab and see the game in the pop up and hear, but when I let go of Alt-Tab, it goes back to black screen, no sound.

Now, if I do Alt-Enter to exit full screen, I can see and play normally, but not at full screen. I tried different resolutions, but nothing's working.

 

Ever seen this before??

I am going to explain what I did to fix that so don't yell at me if your try it and your computer blows up. I'm totally joking ...you can yell at me.
 
 
Right click Enemy Territory \ Properties \ Shortcut \ Target
 
Paste this at the end after ET.exe "+r_mode "-1" +r_customwidth "1920" +r_customheight "1080" +vid_restart
 
So it will look something like this:
 
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory\ET.exe" +r_mode "-1" +r_customwidth "1920" +r_customheight "1080" +vid_restart
 
If ET starts and your resolution is goofy ...try to go to Options \ System \ Resolution. Set resolution to Desktop Resolution.
 
You could also just enter your desktop resolution in the custom fields. If this doesn't work you can just remove it from Target too.

Ahhh, yes, yes. R_mode. I forgot, I'm playing with Intel chipset now, not AMD. Thanks King. I'll give that a shot

 

Edit, didn't work. Still same thing

I have seen similar issues when going from windows xp to windows 7. What's your current OS?

It may be related to the resolution settings on your desktop and your ability to run ET as an administrator.

hum .. did u mke profile .in options.. did u check ur cfg too not have bogues shit...

 

did u set in bios  to run itergrated chip not pcie slot? sound like monitor settings arent same as game settings ..

 

 

check this also r_fullscreen "1"

I have had "funny things" happen with game displays when they use settings not supported by the graphics cards or drivers.

 

I once set the graphics in Doom2 too high and part of the game graphics overwrote the left pane of Window95's File Explorer!

Please tell us what your OS is and which ET client you use (2.60b or Legacy)

I fixed it. Uninstalled ET, Upgraded Intel Graphics Driver, rebooted, reinstalled ET, fixed.

 

Thanks guys,
