Fresh ET Install, Having trouble with graphics quality

Hello folks. I hope this is too redundant of a question.

I used to play this can obsessively years ago. I just reinstalled it, installed 2.60 patch.

My problem is that I can only run it in 800x600. Anything beyond that and it just zooms in.

Works fine on the servers, just can't get the graphics right.

I can set the resolution with scripts, or in-game and it just zooms in. Even the main menu on start up is zoomed after I change resolution .

The graphics quality I want is what I see when its zoomed in.

Native resolution for my monitor is 1920x1080.

Are there graphic settings that I should be adding to my config file? I'm still on the same old computer, but now running win10.

p.s. I messed with the field of view but this problem is in the main menu too, field of view is something else.

Have you tried ET:Legacy ? https://www.etlegacy.com/

It's the still-developed, modernised client.

There's also ET:e which has some fancier graphics tricks but is more experimental and a lot less popular.

ET Legacy is your only answer! Have fun ❤️ great nostalgia

Dude mess with r_mode

That should fix it

1. The 2.55 install, 2.6b patch method is obsolete. Redownload the full 2.6b installer directly from Splash Damage.
2. Get ET:Legacy afterwards.
3. Profit

ET:Legacy does not use the main program directory for downloads/mods on windows. It creates a game folder in your username’s documents folder.

Thanks, I got Legacy. Last time I played it was brand new. Looks pretty good now. Does it perform just like the other traditional method? No lag issues? ( I didnt play it much yet).

I was shocked to see on Steam, last I played it was only a dream idea to keep the game alive.

Still use the 2.6b patch with legacy?

You don't need to install 2.60b if installing legacy.

No. Just download the FULL 2.6b installer.

All you need to do is download et legacy and ur good to go

Steam addition only helped in a way that some (re)discovered the game, but it is basically just old 2.60b with its issues. It doesn't have any integrations you are familiar with with modern games.

ET:Legacy is the engine you should play with

if you run ET:L or 2.60b enter gfxinfo in game console to see if the game recognized your GPU (specificaly GL_RENDERER line), if not you should try to update GPU drivers

I think you have you might have zoom at 125 or 150% on your Windows setting.
