Dear EXE mates, Clan members,
I will show up 2 ways to fix lag with ET on great Servers like battlefield !!! Becouse its not the server that lags, its your Computer !!! In professionals scene we speak about "Client-Side-Lag".
Way 1
I think most of you know the problem: After buying a new Computer with Dualcore CPU the Game runs unsmothlier then befor. I can help you out with that problem. Follow the steps to get your ET lagfree!!!
1. Start ET and connect to a Server
2. Press Alt+Enter or Alt+Z if ET Minimizer is installed
3. Press when youre on Desktop STRG+Alt+Del/Entf to open task manager
4. Choose Registry Card "Prozesses/Prozesse/..." and choose ET.exe
5. right-Click at ET.exe and choose the last option in German Windows its named "CPU- Zugehörigkeit festlegen"
6. If you found the right option delete the tickle after cpu 1, so there is just one tickle behind cpu 0.
7. click on your ET again and press alt+enter or click on ET Task Symbol in task list to maximize the game again.
If youve done all right, you will have more FPS, More performance, and less lag while playing.
Way 2
In this step we will set up some settings for optimizing your config.
If you dont have a DSL Line or Higher with more then 0.4Mbit/s Download and 10kb/s Upload you dont need to read this, becouse youve got too bad connection for playing lagfree with more then 8 players.
1. Start ET and connect to a Server
2. Open your console with pressing ^ on your keyboard
3. enter the following commands
/rate 25000
/com_maxfps 120
/cl_maxpackets 40
4. Done !!!
Another way to do this:
1. Go to /Path/where/ET/is/installed/on/your/system/
2. Enter folder /Wolfenstein-Enemy Territory/
3. Enter folder
for jaymod config /jaymod/profiles/<youre profile Name>
for etpub config /etpub/profiles/<youre profile Name>
for noquarter config /noquarter/...
4. open the etconfig.cfg file with a editor and write the following cmds into it:
/rate 25000
/cl_maxpackets 40
(com max_fps wont be saved this way couse of an ET 2.55 bug)
But for Gamers with old slow computers mainly you should:
1. Befor running ET close every Application that you dont need while playing (like icq, MSN, Xfire, Gamespy Acarde, Skype....)
2. Get a DSL Connection via cable or satelite.
Is my System fast enough for Wolfenstein ET ?
I did lots of testings with about 6 diffrent systems and i got this detailled system specifications that are needed to run this old game.
1 Minimum
CPU: Intel Pentium 3 - 1.6 Ghz, Amd Athlon 2400+, 1.8Ghz
Ram: 256MB Ram DDR
Graphics: 32MB Dx7 compatible Card
2. Optimal
CPU: Intel Pentium 4, 2.4Ghz or higher, Amd Athlon 3000, 2.0Ghz or Higher
Ram: 512MB DDR
Graphics: 64MB DX7 compatible Card (NOT ONBOARD/Shared Memory Cards)
You will think by yourself: Hmm why does that old game needs that much hardware performance ?? I will tell you: Its just becouse the given hardware specifications are just specified in use with standart official gamepaks, every new map need a bit more performance then an old one. Best example for the guys that know 1944_beach: Its even lagging on systems with 6600GT Graphicschipsets with about 12FPS.
