Hey I got new disc and hat to format my pc. I reinstalled et and played a little bit. Then we vote refinery and it downloaded and since than I can't connect to any twc server . But ofc i can connect to all other servers on et just not on twc??? It says awating connection...1 (and so on)... Why does new-installed et hate me????

try to delete the latest downloaded file.
Search in etmain and in the mod of the server last visited. I think in your casae trickjump.
I hope this helps

So I reinstalled and tried refinery with 128 hunkmegs... and it still says this Hunk_Alloc failed on 7730944. What does it mean?! After I get this error and restart et, I can't connect anymore

I don't believe ET maps use more then 128mb, as a matter of fact I found on some forum that NQ team tested like over 100 maps or smth and none of them went over 80mb.
You could try with /hunkmegs 512, but not sure if it will help, usually the higher the better as long as you don't go over your available RAM that is.

how old is your PC?
indeed try to higher your hunkmegs
/com_hunkmegs 128
/com_hunkmegs 256
/com_hunkmegs 512

Don’t use more than 3/4 (75%) of your actual memory in your computer.
Usually 256 or 512 is fairly enough, even for the most complex enemy territory map graphics.

Also the mod you use at the time could also require some memory though no sure how much exactly

Well my pc is old 5 years :C. On map it say that com_hunkmeg 128 is needed. So I set it on 128 and still doesn't work. I have no damn idea what is this sh*t. I have 4gb ram

[djuki]

ok so try /com_hunkmegs 512
your pc has no problem with that

So fate (creator of map) told me where is my config and changed it there. I will try it out and I hope it works
