So recently, my computer get a little tune up with a new graphics card, a new case, and an update to Windows 10. All of my old files were backed up (including ET) and I've since put them back. I reinstalled ET and copied the old folders, but I'm having an issue when I connect that says "failed to resolve etguidauth.evenbalance.com". I did some research and people have said to get a new ETkey (which I've tried) or to delete the PBNS.DAT file, but that one doesn't show up anywhere. I also tried editing the hosts file with notepad, but when I go to save it says I don't have permission to. I apparently need administrator permission. Any help would be appreciated. I need to frag again.

Ok, I figured out how to edit my hosts file. And now I get to the load screen but it disconnects saying I'm missing an official pak file. That's not good... I'll see what I can figure out.

My guess is that you'll be needing that etkey gen. I think the problem is you dled or had an old installer. You can dl a complete ET installer, that even comes with the gen in some sites. Not sure tho, sorry AWOL.

Hmm, ok. I tried the one from the ETkey website the but didn't get it to quite work the first time. I'll try again though.

One more question. I noticed that the installer from the ETkey site is labeled as 2.60b. Does that mean it only has the 2.60b part of the patch? Because if so I need to figure out how to install the regular 2.60 patch first or I'll get the missing pak file error.
