Title basically:

I double click the PR shortcut (Or the PR in the mods folder) and The game window comes up displaying all the logos. My screen goes black as if it's starting up, then after a couple seconds it's back on the desktop without any notifications.

Put +fullscreen 0 behind the path in your shortcut's properties to see the error message.
