switching to windows 7

by Fraggle • 3 Aug 2010, 14:26 • Journals
Hi,

Since a few days I have a new laptop with windows 7 on it.
Now I want to try to play ET but I cant connect to any server. My main screen opens but anything else I can´t do. Also I used my old config who had rmoe 6. But when I load it only a small square in my screen is used for ET. Is that because my resolution is 1600 * 900 in windows?

I also need a usbrate program for windows 7.

Thanks for you help

the resoultion thing just change the cfg to custom aspect and put in the resolution manually... r_customaspect 1, r_mode -1, r_customheight x, r_customwidth x (or something like that) and have you checked your firewall settings? try disabling it for a while and see what happens :?

when I change my resolution to a value that high my ET doesn´t start :< It gives the following error: Couldn't load OpenGL Sub system or something.

I had no problems with win 7 and ET from the beginning. I used the ultimate installer and it worked fine since.

Somehow this shit doesn't want to work on my pc. :( After done all what said my mx518 is active during startup but then when it's loading windows it's "dead". Working now after system restore.

it's the w7 protection shizzle
did you reboot after enabling the testmode?
there should be a watermark in the right bottom corner saying that you're in testmode after a restart

It didn't show any watermark but the patching worked this time. Thanks for noticing me about the restart.
