Crashing out

Post by VMP »

Okay I seem to never be able to finish a round lol.

I can play for sometime and then I crash out. To my desktop, I have checked with my friends and its not pb.

I fixed this problem before with the memory fix but that was before 1.5.

Now with the new patch i was told I do not need to do the memory fix.

Any suggestions?

run PR in 'windowed' mode to see if any error messages come up
(instead of running in full screen, it runs in a 'window')
To do so
Right click on shortcut.
Choose properties from bottom of list.
Modify the text in your shortcut's 'target' window.

Change
+fullscreen 1
to
+fullscreen 0

Then Google or use 'search' on Project Reality web page for the error message you get.

Also
If you have more than one cpu or 'core' you can set the 'affinity'(force the game to run on one cpu or core only) through your shortcut by adding
AFFINITY 2
to your shortcuts 'target' string like this:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\BF2.exe" start /AFFINITY 2 +modPath mods/pr +menu 1 +fullscreen 1

And
In game textures set to 'HIGH'
Set the textures to medium.
I'm not sure why this makes a difference with high-end cards that can run games like Crysis
on high quality settings with no problem at the same res,
but for some reason it can matter in Project Reality.

Lastly:
turn off AA on video cards
I read there may be a problem with AA and 1.5 patch

Good luck
