Decided to reinstall this game, used to play it all the time and fancy another go at it.

I'm using windows XP X64 with an ATI X1800XT, it just freezes at the main menu. Is the game even compatible with X64? What's this 2.60b patch about?

Thanks.
 
Sorry i can't really help! reallllly buggy game generally. 2.6b is the latest patch. I had similar probs with it not even loading in properly, in the end i just copied my girlfriends kids ET directory across to mine and it worked fine :D Maybe you can get hold of a copy of the whole directory off a friend or something?

Not 100% sure on what an x64 is but it definitely works fine on athlon 64's and c2d's too.
 
X64 is just 64bit Windows XP.

I've tried everything, tempted to install an older Catalyst driver now:(
 
I gave up on ET on Vista 64 bit too although I was getting pbuster kicks and not the grey screen.

Are you sure you have allowed it through firewall? Id turn defender off if thats still on just to test it and maybe your firewall for a minute.

Try running the program in XP compatibilty mode and as admin, that helped with the gamma settings but again never did get pbuster working with 2.6b on Vista X64 so you may run into trouble further down the line. I could get on some servers running old pbuster version but if the server was running 1.52 I think it was, would always get kicked. Sure I read somewhere that Vista x64 wasnt officially compatable yet with latest version of punkbuster servers are running for ET.

I reinstalled XP on another HD and am running most games from there including ET, XP seems to give me a few more FPS in ET and no more kicks.
