Windows Vista Users - Troubleshooting Guide for PR

[devildog279]

when ever i join a server it lags like crazy. I run normal bf2 on highest graphics with no lag at all, but on PR it is completely unplayable. I am running home premium 32 bit. any ideas or suggestions?

Okay, so I do the

"C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\pr\pr.exe" thing and the start in

"C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2" thing but it isn't working.

What is the difference between the one I posted and

"C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\pr\pr.exe" +modPath mods/pr +menu 1 +fullscreen 1

Whats modPath?

Anyways it won't start it says Program has stopped working write after I click open. Or run as administrator. Which By the way I did the compatibility thing aswell and it is set to XP SP2.

Does it have to do with the fact that this is from an "unknown publisher"? I don't think so cause it says only use it if you know what it is or have used it before. So I think it's a safty thing. So I guess unrelated.

please I really need help...this looks really sick!

lol

I'm getting this error when I click on the shortcut saying (roughly translated) "this aplication can not be started because the configuration next to each other is incorrect"
I installed everything according to the instalation guide on these forums and didnt' have any other problems thus far. can anyone help me with this issue?

;1129665']i am having issues on vista, when i log in to my BF2 account it goes to the PR menu and no background video comes up and when i move my mouse to click on deployment or any of the other options it does not highlight it, is anybody else having this issue with 0.87 because 0.86 worked perfectly

yeah i got the same problem, and when i ctrl-alt-del it says that the game dosent respond.

I have a problem please please help me. Iv been playing pr for months, then when i come back from my hols, load it up, starts fine, but when the map i choose has loaded. it cuts me back to my desk top???

What is going on????

[shephart11]

jeah, this mod is full of bugs but awesome , i think there is no fix for the crashes after maps finished with loading , sometimes i get memory.dll error and sometimes it crashes without an error message , hope they fixed it in 0.9 or 1.0

[Kevin-2014]

same bro, cheers anyway

Hi everyone, I'm new here so I apologize for any noobishness
I recently installed PR on my laptop (core+levels+SP) and it starts up fine but there is 1 issue. When i start the game it goes to the bf2 menu not the pr menu and doesn't play any music. Any ideas to help?

HELP!!

Ok not windows vista but windows 7. I cant install PR on 7, I'm guessing a compatibility issue. Anynoe else experiencing issues.

My target is:
"C:\Program Files\EA Games\Battlefield 2\BF2.exe" +modPath mods/pr +menu 1 +fullscreen 1
This is its default. What exact phrases should i replace this line with? Bearing in mind that the PR folder installed into its default placce in "Battlefield 2/ mods"

[Orford]

from my pr short cut.
Target=
"C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\pr\pr.exe"
start in =
"C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\pr"

Hope this help to make you own shortcut.

[Myers743]

Ah, i think iv found the problem, there is no pr.exe file in the mods/pr folder. The only thing close to it in that folder is a file called pr.mew . Any ideas what that means i should do? But thanks for the start in, that works fine, just the target now thats the problem.

There should be a pr.exe !

No pr.exe then no pr .

pr.mew is some intermediate file that gets created (I think), not entirely sure why it appears either.

[pagman95]

Are these the right places for my shortcut?
Target: "C:\Program Files (x86)\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\pr\pr.exe"
Begin: "C:\Program Files (x86)\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\pr"
As im still getting the error that i have to update my shortcuts.
