fs_game etpro & grey screen

by im a tree • 1 Oct 2008, 11:21 • Journals
for some reason, if I try to start et with +set fs_game etpro to load straight into etpro (whether it be from batch, camtrace, server browser), I get a grey screen and nothing happens and I just have to kill the process

any ideas? It's annoying ;_;

if it really bothers you, reinstall or dl one of those etpacks... I never found out what's the reason for that error, but it worked again with a new installation

I guess your etmain config is not the same as etpro.

When you load et main, the config loads the working gfx settings. If you then load etpro any not working gfx settings are ignored, but start directly in etpro and you got no failsafe and the game crashes.
