EnemyTerritoryPlayer Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Hi all, Just downloaded et for the first time in ages, went to fill in player setup screen but it freezes or crashes, I don't know if being on windows 10 has anything to do with it. Ran both normal and administrator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators daredevil Posted January 20, 2018 Administrators Share Posted January 20, 2018 Don't install ET in C:\ directory or inside program files. Install it another drive or outside program files directory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnemyTerritoryPlayer Posted January 20, 2018 Author Share Posted January 20, 2018 Got rid of etlegacy. Just tried normal et with compatibility mode with, win 8, 7, vista and xp, same thing happens, it crashes so we can assume its not a windows 10 thing I guess.

Solution EnemyTerritoryPlayer Posted January 20, 2018 Author Solution Share Posted January 20, 2018 SOLVED I came to the conclusion it must be graphics card related. However I checked windows 10 to see if my graphics drivers were upto date it said yes. But I thought I best go to NVidia website to check as I don't trust windows and they gave me a better driver to install, even though it might be risky it said, so I did it and it worked. Thanks for the help guys, see you in the field. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
