Thats what console shows. And I tried connect on jumps server and everything was okay. Any ideas?

Guest

Could you try to connect to another server that is running silent 081?

This one for example:

sKy-e.Beginners XPSave
78.46.106.119:27960

But to be honest this server sucks lol. Millions rambo meds and the main obj there is fragging 0_o

Guest

Yes, server is different but we won't let that bother us. :-)

The only reason I asked you to go there was because:

The shaders ET cannot find in your case are images from the user interface of the silEnT mod. (Moz correct me if I am wrong Razz

)

Our new server hoster has organized things a little different than the old one.
The DOWNLOADS come from a special "Fast Download Server" (that's how they call it). And that "Fast Download Server" is nothing than a pain in the ass atm. Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not and it was down for a while in the last few days.

So you either could have downloaded the silEnT mod manually or used the bandwidth of the most appreciated sky clan. My thought was: why do it yourself if somebody else can do it. :-)

You should be able to connect to our server now, if not Supermoz has to take over.

Unfortunately the problem didnt disappear. Still same error. Sad

Guest

Shit.

I would wait for an idea from Supermoz or reinstall ET.

After I reinstalled game

Guest

Another error! Good! So the other one is gone. Razz

The problem you encounter now is most likely because you did not patch correctly.

(Sry I'm asking, but one question before I go on: did you uninstall ET properly?
Do not just delete the gamefolder but use windows uninstall or another prog that completely gets rid of all ET stuff in the registry. IF you did that, good.)

I recommend to go here:

and download full installer.

Ive done update to 2.60 and everything is fine now. Thanks Hans! Heres your beer : Can't connect Franziskaner_hefe-weisse_

And I have some prob with FPS. Usually its 125 but very often it jumps to 70 which makes terrible lags. Any idea?

Guest

Thx man! Na zdrowie! *slurps the beer* Ahhhhhhh, that was good.

About the FPS:
I wouldn't bother about that so much, cause imo if you have a stable FPS around 70 that's all you need. Others might disagree! I would do "com_maxfps" around 70 and wham, that's it. But if you want, you could fiddle around a bit with:

Effects:
cg_atmosphericEffects 0 // Rain and Snow off
cg_shadows 0 // shadows off
cg_showblood 0 // blood off
cg_gibs 0 // splatter effects off
cg_coronas 0 // cone of lights (lamps) off

r_dynamiclight 0 // dynamic light off
r_fastSky 1 // fast sky on
r_drawsun 0 // sun or moon off

Textures / Colors:
r_picmip 1 // texture detail level, 0 = high, 1 = medium, 2 = low, 3 = custom
r_colorbits 16
r_texturebits 16
r_detailtextures 0

Command to restart graphic settings is:
vid_restart

But be aware, the game might look terrible with some settings.
