04. You downloaded
ET-2.60b-win32.zipExtract it and amongst others you will see a win32 folder.
In there is a ET.exe and a ETDED.exe
Copy those two files into your game folder, where you installed ET and replace the existing files.
You have now patched your game and you are now able to connect to 2.60b servers.
In order to be able to play on 2.55 servers, you need to use a patch selector. A very good one is ET STARTER PRO.

Chose the correct path to your ET.exe

04. Choose: TOOLS - then OPTIONS
05. a window opens. Click on SERVERS at the top.
06. Delete the server entries in there and add your own.
Obviously click on ADD SERVER for this and enter Servername, IP and make sure you set the ET version correctly!
07. Click ok and you are back to the main window.
Untick all boxes, especially the delete etkey box, otherwise you will lose your XP each time you connect to a server with XP save.
08. You can tick START ET Minimizer. Once in the game, you can minimize your game by pressing ALT+Z (ALT and Z key together).
09. If you should encounter problems in the form that each time you join a server, your resolution goes back to default, tick the DELETE PROFILE.PID box.
10. Now simply choose a server you want to join from the drop-down box and click on PATCH+CONNECT.
