Let me explain why;

I teamkill so many peeps that I really am ashamed sometimes, giving some comfort in the form of beer rather then ‘Sorry’ I hope that I will be forgiven.

And yes, when I accidentally kill a lot teammates I do switch to an safe class like medic or spectator 🤣

I really don't know if its possible (or wanted) on the server but back in the days (many moons ago) on our server we had the !beer command.
What it did was quite funny, you typed !beer [playername] and the console would give [player_who_typed_!beer] gives [playername] a glass of beer.
Would that be an option or should i just shut up

Alrighty. I logged in to voice for players like me who have "shit computers".

The new modified map are a pain in the arse for some of us (yeah, me included)

Yeah, we do have potato computer, but this game is from 2003, and i believe it should be playable on a 2003 computer, no need for warmachine computer to play ET. Some of you guys play on 144HZ, 333FPS, Ryzen 9 and some stellar graphic cards, but some of us also play on our lovely computer from 2010 that cant give us much more than 125 FPS on ET.

So i am wondering why would we not go back to original maps ? I mean, okay, we are probably only a handful having problems with the newers release of the maps, but you can play on older original maps - you've done it for years - in the other hand, we can't play on newer maps because of these issues. 

I don't know how many players are in that same situation to be truely honest, i know some have issues aswel, but i do not pay attention as i simply leave the server when these maps come around now. I get 45 fps on the new supply, lol ...

Cheers 

Computers in 2003 could hardly run this game  but i feel your pain. If i had to look deep into my heart i find the original maps most fun to play 2 especially railgun but with 20vs20 thats not really an option anymore these days.

Thx for al the help, will be diggin’ round the solutions you all gave me and report back here 😘

My thoughts aswell thats an Win issue. I’ll dig around with the max fps settings.

Have you tried reinstalling the whole game from scratch? Your issues are not something that default settings should bring (i.e. they don't use mouse3-5 for anything)

Which mouse do you use and does it have any software installed on your computer? You can bind mouse buttons using external software as well so it can also be related to that. For example mouse3 could be bound to ctrl, so the game would understand any mouse3 stroke as ctrl. You can also try binding a different key to the scores-popup and see if the problem still exists.

Also instead of GUI, you could try placing your binds in a config file to see if it makes a difference.

E: Here's what you config should look like (can just be these 3 lines):

bind mouse3 "weaponbank 4"
bind mouse4 "weaponbank 5"
bind mouse5 "weaponbank 6"

You also could try typing /unbindall in console and then reset you controls back to default. Should take care of any funny binds you might have.

Thanks for the insights. The game is just 3 or 4 weeks on my rigg so i doubt a reinstall is needed so i wil use that as an last resort.
I can def try to make an new config but its been ages and ive forgotten so much its an slippery slope

And use advanced program to view config file (notepad +++, sublime etc) so it breaks row itself and you dont have to read the mess normal notepad makes.

Yes, i am using Notepad+++ for other things aswel so quite familiar with it thx!!

I have the same problem with typing in my console. When you press ' first before console ~ it should work. At least that works for me

Yup this works for me 2 now, and doesn't screw up the other keybinds, thank you very much!

Still. Can you post your config file?  it should be in your ET folder. Let us know if you need help. 
Are you using vanilla or legacy launcher?

Its attached @ this post (renamed it for ease of use here), i tried an reset to default but did nog give the wanted results i.e. the pop-ups and ~ failure remains I'd love to hear if you can find anything.

etconfig(DK).cfg

Will pull it out of the folder ASAP and I use legacy (I guess) 

Okey, the 'stranger things' continue:

Ive reseted all keybinds to the default and the problem perssits sadly and just discovered another fun one  when i open console i cant type any text because any touch on any random key will close the console (sorry for the not replying to the friendly welcomes from amongs other Je$$ica).
But when i open the console using ~ and then press the escape key the console works but -you guessed it- the tab wont work any more.
As last resort i confiscated the Corsair keyboard from my son (who bravely fought me because he wanted to play aswel) and tried it, well the same result as with the ol' G11.
Ive set Windows to US layout and dutch language and now i have no clue anymore...

Anyone any thoughts on the matter?

DeeKee out  

Happy merry everything to ya'll!!

I dont use an config file atm, i configured my new mouse through the gui of ET itself. Just did weapon4 to mouse 3 and so on. So needle/dyno are configured on mouse 4, medpack/mine are binded to mouse 5. Attach rnade is mouse 3 and so on. But when i press A and mouse 4 i get my score pop-up
No key is bind to V-say other then 'V'. Sometimes that menu pops up but also score and commandline show up. Kindah annoying.
Ill try to digg up the config.
Thx for all your replies

I really dont like to play as axis medic, id rather go engy or field-ops but most of the time the engy class has no real use in a map after a while or when there are a lot of rambo medic's. Usually ill switch from engy to medic and try to find an engy who's willing to go all-in for objective, but most of the time when i play engy i hardly get any backup so thats my solution for the 'rambo'medic problem, but i feel your pain m8!

Oke, and another (prolly n008) question;

When i play and i am running around pressing the keyboard WSAD (not all at the same time doh) and press my mouse button's 3, 4 or 5 the v-say screen pops up (or the score popup).
No doubd i'm doing something wrong but how do i turn that off, its annoying when i try to grab my needle when dodging bullets to the left- or right and have to press escape to turn those pop up messages of. You know, i get killed and unable to revive teammates or place dyno's

Damn... so my application did stick in may only to find it this week 😱. Did not get any confirmations on my registration (although i seem to remember an FB discusion.) 
 

Merry Holidays and an better 2021!!!

Thx for the quick reply's!

I will try to add the complaint command in my script.
I will let you know if it works!

Finally got a few decent games in years this night, it really was fun again to play this game.
I discovered a few things that need some attention (an G9x mouse thats 10+ years old isnt the best one to play  ).
But i was somewot annoyed with the teamkill complain F1-yes/F2-no that pops-up every time i get team-killed, is there a way to set it (client-side) to no so i don't have to push F2 every time?
I really don't care if i get tk-ed (either on purpose or by accident) i wont file an complain anyway.
Just a thought tho

Thx for the welcome!!

@MiniMuppet no I haven’t been on yet. But don’t worry I’ll be on soon enough!

Took me a long time to get here but finally i've made it.

I've been playing ET since 2006 and for most of the time for The FreeTeamPlayers on the TiTs servers.
Obvious most went on to other games but i still love to play some oldskool balanced games.

Thanks for the add, and when i got the time ill try to pop on the servers.

PS
My 2nd nickname was tk-mastah so please forgive me if i tk you, i am trigger happy and tend to shoot at anything that moves so thats why i usually play engy or FO/medic (its hard to kill someone with an medkitt).
