1.2 is coming soon...

Nice to see updates already coming.
This patch is being released today... well more like now.
http://community.enemyterritory.com/?q=node/192
Neat. Looking forward to trying it.
Installed successfully; can't wait to try the balance changes. If no one puts it up overnight, I'll get it on the FTP server for Knights and Squires tomorrow morning. I'll patch the server to 1.2 tomorrow as well.
Update: From the thread Hylander posted, it appears that most of the folks who've been having 1.2 patch problems downloaded the patch from a 3rd-party site, so I'm not going to put this version up. I'll have the server up and running in 1.2 this afternoon, though.
I'll download it and try re-installing from scratch. I did download from a link on the ETQW site, not in game. Please let me know when the patch is up on the FTP server and I'll download it to my portable drive here at work so I don't have to mess with downloading it tonight from home.
Hmm I guess I am lucky. I downloaded the patch via ingame tooke about 3 minutes tops and has been running like a champ ever since. I even cranked my settings up and it still runs smooth now.
I too downloaded the patch in-game, and had no problems at all.
Interesting listening to some of the puggers using VOIP now. It can only help, I suppose.
First thing I did was turn off VOIP after I ended up on the same team as a K-Machine soundalike. :D
Hy, I don't intend to upload the 1.2 patch--the board you linked from the other site pegged it as one possible cause of your problems. It also pointed a finger at certain ATI driver features--I have an NVidia card on my gaming rig and didn't see any problems.
What's wrong with just downloading it in game? The functionality works great.
Nothing... I just happened to read the release and there was a link to the patch so I downloaded it while I was browsing other things. I didn't even attempt to patch in game. So I will try that tonight when I reinstall.Quote:

Yeah, I'm ranting. I'm just getting sick and tired of paying to be a beta tester and am getting tired of the PC as a gaming platform. It's not like I'm trying to play a new game on an old PC.Quote:

Why does no one else have half the issues you do? :confused:
I guess you didn't read the forum posts I linked to?Quote:

In a large enough sample, you'll always find a percentage of people with problems.Quote:

Anyway the point Bribo is getting at is that just seems strange that out of all of us who are running games, it's always Hylander with the issue. :)
I mean hell, I'm running on a Mac for crying out loud. :)
The next point is that it's fun tweaking Hylander. :bye:
I installed the patch in-game and now I can't join any server, game crashes. Nice.
Updating ATI drivers now. Crossing fingers
Not possible, it's only Hylander that has this problem. Get off my PC!!! :bye:Quote:

Hi All,
At this point and time it seems from our testing that as long as you update your driver to either the ATi HotFix 7.9 driver or the latest ATi Web Release 7.10 and disable Triple Buffering, you should run without issues.
There is a chance of loss of performance when you rename your executable because this doesn't allow the ATi driver to optimize for ET:QW.
We are currently working on debugging and producing a fix. I will try to keep you all up-to-date with any information that we come up with.
Regards,
Adam
Not sure about this, I'll have to download the latest ATI drivers as I usually use the Catalyst drivers instead. I downloaded the latest Catalyst drivers but had the same issue.
7.9 drivers didn't work. Triple Buffering didn't matter.
Going to try 7.10 now.
7.10 failed as well.
Thanks!
Let me know if you happen to stumble across a solution, I'll make sure to do the same if I find a fix.Quote:

I've given up for now and will try again later.
Also, I'm changing everything to Bill. That's me. Me? I'm Bill. Nice to meet you all.
OK.. Good news and bad news.
Good:
I was able to get the game to run by updating to the very latest Omega drivers which are based on the 7.10s. Also, go into the OpenGL settings and disable the triple buffer.
Bad:
The game runs like absolute crap so far. I use to get 60 fps, I'm now barely getting 30. I'll do more research on the forums to see if the patch reset anything in settings that is causing the problem. I'm also going to play around with the core thing enably do-hickey.
Oh, and when you start the game up, the UI now takes about 5x as long to start up.
Update... can't seem to gain any FPS. Tried a few tweaks suggested on the forums, but I don't expect the game to be playable for me until they release a fix. But I noticed a few things... the textures seem to be 'blury' more so when moving around and I hate the blurred background when changing maps.
Makes me glad I didn't jump on the ATI bandwagon. :D
I have an ATI card in my new pc and its running flawlessly, not sure what is causing their issue. I have an x1950 pro running driver version 8.421.0.0, but then again I always run stock all the way no need to overclock and use the ATI default drivers.
Overclocking is not an issue for me either. Neither my computer nor video card is overclocked. I don't like to run the stock ATI drivers because they are bloated .net ware. But I'll try them to see what happens.Quote:

If you have an ATI card and are crashing to the desktop when you try to join a server or load a map, please do the following:
Disable Triple Buffering in the ATI Control panel.
This should solve the crash problem and allow you to play while we work with ATI to fully resolve the issue.
It's basically just a waiting game until they fix it.
I am running an ATI x1900 under Windows Vista using stock drivers.
No problems.
Update for Nuts...
I did a clean sweep of my drivers, uninstalled everything, deleted all directories, etc. Rebooted. I then installed the latest package from ATI/AMD and installed the full package (Catalyst Control Center and all) and started the game up. Everything is back to normal. My FPS are back up to 60fps or so and graphics look fine.
By default, the triple buffer was disabled.
Damn. Just tried it but with no luck. I didn't go as deep with my cleanup as I could have because I've got some overclocking going on. I'll wait till they fix this mess.
You might want to check and see if the Triple Buffering is set to on by default. Try disabling it (if it isn't already), rebooting, and then see if it's still disabled.Quote:

But when you are having problems, you are aware of every single odd thing you come across and then some things that might have always been there and you never noticed before. So it's kind of hard to tell. :cheese:
Has anyone had a chance to upload the patch to the FTP server?
Nope--I wasn't planning on hosting it since almost all of the problem reports on the id software forums were caused by the third-party patch. In-game update is the way to go.
