It just shuts itself down

Post by Sindrio »

Alright, I have a problem here... I apologize if this actually is somewhere else on the forums, but I couldn't find it....

So, here is the problem:
Right after a map has finished and the new map is loading, the game crash or more correct, just shuts itself down... No error pop up or any messeage... The game just shuts down... and sometimes when the loading is half way or just started, I hear this most annoying sound that is on a computer, the error pip, then it just freezes, and all that is left is a frozen picture of the map that is "loading" ( the loading stops of course), and the mouse is "thinking" (on windows vista it is a blue circle, thought I just should put that in)...

So then I have to start PR again, and join the server if I want to continue to play... It only happens when a new map is loading... About 15% of the times, it works and don't shuts itself down. The reason I say that it shuts itself down is because that is what it does, it just shuts down... Please! This mod is just awesome, and I want to play it without all these shutdowns... I love the way teamowork is in this mod, and it's just the way I like it! Great mod!

Now im just gonna sit in my chair until someone answers me, tell me if you have the same problem, or if you know how to fix it, or just simply leave a comment that tells me how much you feel sorry for me :neutral:

When asking for help,
please remember to post your:
O/S,
systems specks,
network setup
And a brief history before and after problem started.
Please describe when your CTD or problem hits and
what you have already tried.

The most common causes of CTD are:
Failure to uninstall any previously installed versions of PR.
This can easily be done via the Windows Control Panel
'Add and Remove Programs' icon, under "Project Reality 0.x".*,
then delete the PR folder to remove any leftover files.
Don't forget to delete the desktop short as well.
PRv.87 uses 2 installers. You must install both 'core' and 'levels'.
It is recommended that you restart your system after you install/uninstall programs
to ensure all installed components, files and registry entries are correctly installed or removed.

BF2 not updated to v 1.41 before patching with v1.5
FULL update 1.41
Final v1.5

Some have posted Updating with the
1.41 update
Sometimes does not complete, but looks like it does.
To find your version of BF2
run PR in 'windowed' mode
Look at the upper left corner
you should see
v.1.5.3153-802.0


Incomplete install of 'Core' & 'Levels'
Project Reality v 0.86 uses TWO separate Client Installers : 'Core' & 'Levels'
(Use the 'levels' installer to make a desktop short cut.)
If you get any errors, download a new installer from a different source and try again.

Compatibility mode to xp and run as admin not set in desktop shortcut on Vista PCs
Right click shortcut
choose 'properties' from bottom of list
Click on the Compatibility 'tab'(along the top of the window)
Check 'run as admin' box, select WINDOWS XP(service pack 2
