All of a sudden when I fire ET up I end up with the screen blown out to the point I cant see more than 25% of the ET game. No idea why it has done this, but I cant play.

WTF?
 

Joke :D

How to setup custom resolution?
~
/r_customwidth
/r_customheight
/r_mode "-1"
/vid_restart

see if that works :)

(making a 'stuff I should know' file :p)

Nothing has changed, simply fired the game up like normal and this happens. No idea why. Havent changed the monitor in 2 months, been happily playing on the 27 for that long.

Run shortcut as admin , or any game client you use to connect to OZ & then reapply all res settings as Ferny has suggested both in ET Main & then in each individual mod of ET you play , it should solve all your problems unless you run a cfg.

I do run a cfg but havent changed anything - this is just out of the blue. Already run as admin.

Done the above, now end up with the game now seeable but only taking half of my 27" screen. Windows update has gone through. Also the game keeps asking me to get a key but thats already done. FFS..........

Horie , you'll need to edit your cfg to have your res settings too with vid_restart at the bottom of your cfg.
You can post your cfg if you want someone to review it.
Also check if you run in a windowed mode or full screen.

just alt f4 to window it then alt f4 again see if it goes full screen

If your going to troll at least try to be constructive.
