A few days ago I developed an inability to play ET on B1 and B2. I can open ET and play on B4 and B10 but when I try on B1 or B2, ET crashes at 'getting gamestate'. I deleted my 'silent' dir under .etwolf and tried each server again, letting ET d/l the proper files again, but no luck, same symptom. I thined out my supply of ET maps, as suggested by some others but still no luck. I haven't changed anything with my setup recently. Perhaps silent made some changes. I don't know what else to do at my end. Maybe someone else can duplicate the problem I am having or an admin has a solution.
I can't play on B1 or B2

Hello
Played a map on B1 without any problems and then one on B2 without any problems.
My ET installation is an old 2.60b for windows that I downloaded on Bunkers website and then uploaded what is needed and required by the different Bunker servers.
Are you using this version or Legacy?
You can always try to reinstall and take version 2.60b from the bunkers website but save before uninstalling your "etkey". which is under the game folder and then under the "etmain" folder.
If it works let me know if it does not work let me know too.
Questions before deletion and new installation and after are also welcome.
Best Regards
M

Soooooo, first I have been using Linux for much longer than the 15 or so years I have played ET. I have been through many different distros and hardware changes. I have been able to fix the small problems that inevitably come up from time to time. My current distro is Debian 9 Stretch. To try and resolve this problem, I have renamed my .etwolf dir and reinstalled et from the files I freshly d/l from this site. Still the same problem, B1 and B2 crash at the 'awaiting gamestate' message. I have tried to play on other non Bunker servers and ET appears to crash only on servers with the silent mod. My thought is the problem is with either a recent change to silent server setups or some file corruption on my end. I thought perhaps I had a hardware issue or video driver issue. I swapped out my video card for another and changed drivers but no luck. I want to be sure I wipe out all traces of silent mod from my file system and try again. I considered running ET in a windows virtual machine but I worry it may be too laggy for my taste. Any thoughts on running a virtual machine or on flushing the silent mod would be greatly appreciated.
