ET.exe has stopped working.

Now then friends,

I have a problem. When I open ET sometimes it says "ET.exe has stopped working" and that Windows is searching for a solution. Windows has searched long and hard but has not found a solution to my problem, so I thought I would ask the super duper professional eSport community crossfire.db.

Info:
  • Windows 10
  • this only happens sometimes, not all the time - sometimes if I try and open 3-4 more times it will just work fine
  • Haven't reinstalled for years, just copied the folders over each time I clean installed
  • thus, etmain folder is a fucking shit tip
  • play on a laptop, have done since 2008 so that isn't the problem
  • Play mostly on HBC professional eSports server (with ET professionals such as Norway Eirik and Anonymous (HBC)BrigadierDog
  • Puretrak Talent mousemat
  • usually drink tea whilst playing


If there is any solution to this (and the fucking fps lags that PB gives), please let me know.

Kind regards,
United Kingdom Joe

maybe it's something to do with your resolution, have you tried r_mode -1 + r_customwidth and r_customheight, if that doesn't work then /q IceQ :)
Well I use customheight/width anyway because of my laptop resolution

Any excuse to pm IceQ

the problem is cleary this:

Windows 10
realtek audio driver? had the same issue playing on hbc & hirn till i put in a diffrent sound card
Yeah I do have it, wtf though? I'm playing on a laptop so obviously can't just swap the bastard out
Parent
cant help you with a fix not a tech guy, but maybe test with disabling the soundcard and see if it still crashes.

Why do people upgrade to windows 10, while it's proven it's full of bugs AND security leaks.
FFS, we can even tracks a person's clicks/keys.

No worm needed, Windows 10 already delivers us your information.

use brains: NEVER EVER update a windows version, when it's just out. Always wait for AT LEAST the first update. Like Windows 8.1 (not this a good example, but most security bugs were eliminated in 8.1).
Only people who use express install, which is most likely over 80% of people, will have their data collected, some people actually look into options and see that there's a way to disable all this shit. Oh wow. Et is working fine on win 10 btw. no problem with that.
