ET messed up (again) after windows 7 reinstall

Postby zombie » Thu Jul 08, 2010 14:26

Hi guys,

My ET is messed up as usual after a reinstall. But this time I can't figure out why ET is messed up.

Problems:

Screenresolution wont save
Default resolution is lowest @ ET (800 * 600?)
If I open console and I type this:
/r_customheight = "1080"
/r_customwidth = "1920"
/r_mode = "-1"

I see the message "Changes will be made after restarting the game". But after I restarted the game, the resolution is just the same.... Also, if I select the 1600 * 1200 reso from the menu, it works until I restart the game.

Textures are messed up

Dunno why, but it's just wrong.

What did I try:
-Well ofcourse I gave ET.exe the admin permissions
-Reinstalled ET, you never know
-Deleted the maps and download them again

I hope the solution is easy :P

Thanks in advance.

in the pictogram you hit when you wanna start ET from desktop, or from where ever you like, add this in the command line:

+connect (IP) +exec zombie.cfg +seta r_customheight 1080 +seta r_customwidth 1920 +seta r_mode -1

And ofc put the correct path in front of it, but that is logical imo :P

This should work :)

Already got that kind of shortcut :P But will add this line too :)

EDIT:
It's working but textures are still messed up. No idea what to do with them :P I think ignoring them is the best solution atm

My polak friend random also has this problem...
I don't think you want to hear this, but a major cleanup would be the best thing.

Backup everything you need as usual (if you have 2 HDD's save on the other and only format the one you have windows installed on).

Why do people always suggest formats and re-installs? ;)

@ Zombie
Have you actually checked (and corrected) both your etmain and nq etconfig.cfg's (and/or autoexec.cfg) with notepad++?

Saving settings within a mod that need a vid or game restart often go haywire because your etmain config doesn't save these changes as well.

And the topic Pancake was referring at; catalyst 10.5 vs ET
