I had the same problem. I have an LCD monitor and was trying to run the game in a lower resolution than its native res.

ETM seems to bug alot! The game lags beyond playable when 2 or more enemies are in the same room. Very disturbing! And it shouldn't lag with my system specs. Tried decreasing the graphics to the lowest, runs exactly as laggy as in 1600X1200 with full detail.

the problem is with the refresh rate, if your using anything like reforce to fix the xp refresh rate, disable it, then go to your display options and override the directx refresh rate. i have radeon 9800 and the game runs pretty smooth here, except for a few lockups and can't get eax hd to work with my audigy 1 card other than that its a cool game

thanks lots! restoring defaults with reforce let me in the game!

looks like the infogrames people had some weird idea to lock you at one rate..

get 10-20fps on my geforce 2ti, guess it's time to get the 5900

Lags like hell with Radeon 9700PRO, at least for me :)

Well, I just finished the game

Had to turn my refreshrate to 60 again though.. And the EAX-sounds didnt work either. :

It was fun, as long as it lasted..

For me the game ran quite smooth and not many bugs. There were flickering textures and the game crashed 2 times but I can live with that..

HZ Tool is a freeware tool for Windows 95/98 that lets you set the refreshrate for all resolutions, including the ones that Windows normally don't let you use. You can also change resolution and bit-depth.

working under 2000/XP as well ?

hello,
i got the same problem with ETM. Everytime i want to start it im getting that annoying "DEVICE NOT CREATED 2" error.
I installed the new detonator 44.03 and the ETM patch 1.52 . still doesnt work :-(

i used the nvidia refresh override tool that is with the NVIDIA Media Center. I got a GF4Ti4200 and 19" Screen, so i tried 60 Hz, 85 Hz and 100 Hz for resolution 1024x768. Also tried safe mode and disabled all features in the options menu. still hanging...im very desperate.
pleeaasse help me !

My Opinions on ETM

BUGGY!

1. Refresh rates, it's all screwed

2. Controls - are horrible, PCs really suck at 3rd person and my sidewinder D-pad is "supersensitive" - it's hard to control movement

3. Camera angles always go crazy, usually at the worst times (like when you're fighting a bunch of cops.
