Wolf Enemy Territory on Win98se

[HalOfBorg]

OK - I just did a fresh install of Win98se (not that I INTENDED to - see Other Posting (http://www.icronticforums.com/showthread.php?threadid=2934) ), and I would like to play Wolf ET again.

Not that 56Kv.92 is good for online gaming, but I still have fun!

BUT - when I launch the game, the movie plays fine, then the game / pc locks except for the mouse. Reset only option!:mad: :mad: :mad:

I have DirectX 8.1 installed, as well as the latest drivers (52.something for the G4 TI4200 GS). I tried other vid drivers - no good.

I DLd DX9.0b FULL from Microsloth, but what if install hoses my son's OTHER games??

I HATE this so blasted much! :mad: :mad:

Now I guess I have to use Ghost to image the drive, try DX9, then unhose it if needed.

Direct X 9 will not "hose" the other games.

What they've failed to tell you is that enemy territory does not work right all the time on win 98. believe me i've tried multiple times myself.

first thing you should do is install dx9. if that doesnt work, uninstall ET and then reinstall.

most likely i think that ET doesn't like 98 but that could just be my computer.

AFAIK Enemy Territory is OpenGL.

I had DirectX 8.0 installed when I installed WolfET - at end of install window said to be sure to install DX 8.1 or better.

Reinstalled WolfET, installed DX9.0b, reinstalled WolfET again.

All no good - same results.

Any more ideas?

I want my XP Pro Corporate Edition back. JUST as soon as I get a few Vid cards to try..... and the time, will and desire.
