This was posted in Dec '04, never had a reply to it and now I have the exact same problem. I've searched these (and many other forums / F.A.Qs) and found relevant topics, but none have proved to be of any help.1st-Killer wrote:I tried nearly every ati-driver (got a radeon x800 xt) and setting I can imagine.
It's unpossible to connect to a ETPRO (etmain works perfectly!) server. I even can't creat a server: when "awaiting gamestate" appears, my pc freezes. I tried to run ET in a window and it just quits back to windows...
As said, etmain is NO problem, ist's just when I connect an etpro server (pb does not make any difference.
I have Windows XP incl. SP1 and all updates (I will try with sp2 the week).
Radeon X800 with latest Catalyst 4.12
It started 2 days ago when my computer failed to load properly anymore. Virus scans in safe / searching google failed to sort out the problem, so I had no option but to reformat. Having deleted my C partition, I re-installed Windows and ET, plus its patches etcetera. Now however, whenever I go to play on any server that is etpro (note the others are fine), the game hangs on 'awaiting gamestate'.
I've:
-Tried multiple gfx card drivers
-Run the game in etpro from the command line
-Deleted all my directories and re-installed
-Tried playing with my old config and no config, neither make a difference
-2 reformats
And still not even a smidgeon of progress. The error reporting window that comes up gives a reason form but this doesn't make any sense,...all numbers.
Thanks in advance
