Strange problem..

by JimmyLee • 20 Apr 2007, 15:50 • Journals
I just installed Enemy Territory, and the 2.60 patch for it.

Played for a while nicely.

Then I installed the 2.60b patch 'cause some server required it.

Now I can't connect on any server.

The Symptoms:

When I try to connect to a server, I see Awaiting Connection, but I can't get in.
So I open the console and I see this:
"Punkbuster Client: Game version [ET 2.60 win-x86]
Punkbuster Client: Connected to server xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xxxx"

I've tried to wait it to get in, but I got tired after 10 minutes.

I reinstalled a few times, with the 2.60 patch, and the 2.60b, but nothing works anymore.

I also tried updating punkbuster, but no help. Instead it started giving me a CD Key error in the console. (my etmain folder doesn't contain an "etkey" file, and it isn't created automatically either).

I have also tried ET Pack 1.3 and 1.2, but neither worked for me.

Delete your ET folder after uninstall then reinstall with patches and download and update with this http://www.evenbalance.com/index.php?page=pbsetup.php

i can only think one way to fix it! install the old etpack with the multi used etkey in it:D:D

I forgot to mention, that I copied the etkey file from the ET Pack 1.1

It still sticks to "Awaiting connection".

2.60b needs files from 2.60 patch

and update your pb folder with pbsetup.exe

1- remove all files from pb directory
2 put pbsetup.exe on pb directory
3 run pbsetup.exe
4update pb
5 problem solved

Tried that.

Result:

This is the first time you run punkbuster setup, we need to check for updates. -> Failed to connect-connction refused

Btw pbsetup works fine, if I run it from my desktop.

Then again; it doesn't help me.

When I try to connect to a server, I see Awaiting Connection, but I can't get in.

Edit: Now the console doesn't even say anything about punkbuster.

The counter counts and nothing happens.
Console says:

etmaster.idsoftware.com resolved to xxx.xxx.xxx.etc

[my IP] resolved to [my IP]

During the 1940s, when Hitler was dictating Germony, a young jwish girl named pamala Carbaskie was sent to the holocaust and was hung. For some strange reason she was still alive and you could see her red eyes glowing. If you do not Comment 3 other journals with this message she will be staring at you 12:00 AM and if you sleep YOU WILL DIE!!
