7. it doesn't work -> same problem like before
8. by the way the workaround via button Mod in ET is not working anymore, because the button Mod in ET doesn't exist.

I have installed the new files on my 2nd computer and it works. But what is wrong with my main computer ? I don't know it.
All the other games are working fine.

Did you delete the whole ET/TC:E directory manually?

1. uninstalled TCE (via uninstaller)
2. uninstalled ET (via uninstaller)
3. deleted the directory manually
4. new installation -> same problem

In this week I'll install ET and TCE on my 2nd OS (Vista) on the same computer. After that I'll tell you the results.

But is the splashscreen still of Solid snake or is the the original TCE background? Its weird that the shortcut would be corrupted again after several tries. Where did you download?

Original TCE background.

I think there is no problem with the files or installation. In my opinion it is a problem with my computer. Maybe a MS security patch. Kaspersky internet security 7 (patch from MS is installed -> problem between Kaspersky and Punkbuster).

The following is located approximately in developer console:
pak2 are not official. Please reinstall or contact etc.
pak1 are not official. Please reinstall or contact etc.

But as I said -> the files are okay. I can play on my 2nd computer without any problem.

If I can play TCE on my 2nd OS, I will formatting my PC and install both OS again. I hope that will fix my problem.

Ah ... it is not a problem of TCE. It is a problem of ET.
If I try to connect to a ET server, the same error message appears. Coulnd't find an official mappack. pak1, pak2, etc. But in folder etmain there is no file like pak1 or pak2.

It works !!!
I copied the missing files from my 2nd computer and now it works.
2 ET installer with the same corupt files ? I can't believe it.

Thank you m8s.

I was about to suggest copying the files from the one that works. glad to see you have it up and running.
