Screen Tearing

itselRuben17 · 10 Sep 2026 at 01:13 · permalink

Loved the game waaaaay back and happy to see it’s still alive. Recently started playing again, however on some maps the sky / top bit of the screen really tears. Makes it hard to play, especially if there is an enemy up there. It doesn’t happen on all the maps. Anyone has an idea?
I got the version from Steam

Get ET legacy 32 bit version

and yes only the 32 bit version as the 64 bit version can only play on the very few 64 bit servers out there. 32 bit can play all servers.

ETL also has a much improved option screen especially for visuals.

Feel free to pop in my clans discord if you need any more support. lots of people there to help. I'm Pinn here, game and discord

Thanks for the advice! I think the Lagacy fixed it? Played it last night for 2 hours straight and zero issue
