^SaTorI Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Hey all: maybe you read my topic about the theft of my laptop, I already have a new laptop, the issue is having window 8, if I change w8 i lose the warranty, I have not been able to play, because the connection is constantly interrupted and that sucks and makes me feel frustrated (I'm almost a pro spec), my connection is good, I played with the same connection so far no major problems, I think my conf is the same, at least the basics (et reinstalled from the beginning), suggestions????, the last option will be to change w8. thanks in advance. regards. ^Sato.

redy. Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 (edited) Are you 100% positive that you loose the warranty by installing windows 7? I doubt that. You normally just loose warranty if you open the case of the notebook and break the little stickers which is not necessary if you reinstall windows. Nearly every vendor brings Windows 7 notebook out with an software upgrade to windows 8. The vendor normally doesn't care about software or an operating system because warranty covers just the hardware. If you are forced to run your notebook with Windows 8 you could try: - to open the 'Enemy Territory' symbol with a right mouse click and 'Run As Administrator' - Right click the 'Enemy Territory' symbol, go into the Properties/Compatibility and run it as windows 7 or XP redy.

Vanaraud Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Check your firewall\connections settings in Win8. Firewall should be allowed for ET. Antivir could cause lag. Modem restart? Do \rate 34000 in console in ET. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masa_1964 Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Or use usb memory stick or hd and boot from there any other system. Masa_1964 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
^SaTorI Posted January 19, 2014 Author Share Posted January 19, 2014 Thanks mates, I changed the compatibility with w7 and I start the game as administrator, also I checked the firewall settings, works better, but still not enough, it may be a matter of time, but I will keep looking for more options. Btw...the salesman told me that if I changed the operating system I lost the warranty, but if there is no choice, who cares warranty, suck my nick!!!! Thanks m8 again.

sinA* <3 Padme*Amidala Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 do you play with wifi? or lan cable? and when you run ET, what else is open on your pc? did you checked task manager if there is a background program that takes much system and process? and btw... even if the salesman told you... check your warranty. i never heard that before. and its always possible to set up a second OS on your laptop to switch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
^SaTorI Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 I use wifi, the same connection that I played with my old laptop, when I run the game I'm just downloading porn lol joke, I am only available in xfire, I do not use other programs while I'm playing. about the salesman, he told me that, it also surprised me, maybe he was new, I do not know and I do not care, I do not usually obey what a salesman or "social system" tells me something, viva la libertad y la autogestion . Anyway, thanks for taking the time to make a reply mate. Greetings Sina*. ^Sato.- 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinA* <3 Padme*Amidala Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 You should close xfire while playing. it makes me lag on my laptop always too. And no problem, i hope you could fix the last of the lags too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators JoeDirt Posted January 21, 2014 Administrators Share Posted January 21, 2014 Change power settings to High Performance. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecoban Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 You should check power setting management and check wifi card automatic shutdown. I had this problem,wifi interrupts every 20 minutes. open power setting management (right click on the battery icon) choose advanced mode and check wireless card settings. Then disable power save mod. I hope it s the same problem i had (and I could kick your ass soon on battlefield) Good luck. and yes, win 8 is worst than Vista 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Setting power settings to High Performance will leave wifi card on. Perhaps if you knew how power plans worked you would know this. There is nothing wrong with Win8 or Vista just uneducated people like yourself that spew misinformation and are too lazy to learn or adapt to change. Enjoy your XP there bud. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanaraud Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Well actually Win XP had also power management options so I don´t see how some can draw conclusions on persons tech ability based on that or OS quality. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecoban Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 High performance mod resolved nothing for me that's why i explain how to change it manually. Maybe incompatibility with power settings management and Vaio care (on Sony PC). Probably, 8.1 update fixed this problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
^SaTorI Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 I changed it to high performance energy, but the problem continues, I think it might be the wifi card, although I have also tried other drivers, the model of my laptop is HP pavilion g4 Notebook pc g4-2306la Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can. And clearly you have not read what he wrote and what my response was. It was sarcasm. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
