Complicated pr.exe start-up./Fixed!

Post by Atsilieri »

Well, this really got me pissed off, cause 5 mins ago, I installed and succeeded with my cousins computer, with Project Reality mod, I had the chance to play like 10 mins on his laptop, I really enjoyed it! Then I realized I must get back to it, and try to solve my problem, which I've been having for almost a week now, I gave up, but seeing the real game, dang, you know I just had to get it working.

I've got a good clean install -
Battlefield 2
Battlefield 2 (1.41)
Battlefield 2 (1.50)
Battlefield 2 Project Reality 0.87 core.
Battlefield 2 Project Reality 0.87 levels.

(I don't have Special Forces installed, but my cousin does.)

So I installed the PR clean and clear, but when I run the exe, it gives me an error about
pr.exe has stopped working. Okay, that's when I delete my Battlefield 2 folder from My Documents (the profiles folder), but when I put it back there, and run the exe, nothin, absolutely nothing happens. The processor lights up for like 1.5 seconds then goes back to idle. Reading the pr.exe log, I couldn't understand much of it, I was wondering if any of you could help me out on this. I have UAC off, and Network 3.5 thing installed propelly.
I did a clean install on my cousins laptop, without ANY errors, then I kinda got pissed off cause I've been trying to figure out the problem by reading alot in the forums etc for almost a week now. I would appriceate your help!
PS: Sorry for the poor grammar.
I found this from pr.exe log, hope this helps you guys help me figure out the problem!
Should I try installing the whole thing over again with Special Forces?
As I mentioned before, I've been reading alot about the problems other players had, none of them helped me though. So I'm hoping for an angel from the higher Pr ranks or higher intellectual with computers ranks come and help me out. You'll have 1 more soldier on the field, think about it, it's worth it! Seriously!

Edit : Don't think it matters, but I have renamed my bf2 intro files to save memory, like 1 guide told me in this forum.
Edit2 : Everytime I try to start pr.exe, the pr.exe log seems to update himself, so if anyone wants another log report with different start settings, just say it.
Edit3 : PS: I really hope your eyes are not bleeding from this lil' text of wall and you nice people here can help me out, just remember, 1 more soldier in your team! C'mon!

Edit4 : I can play Battlefield 2 normally (even though I get "Connection Interupted", when my internet is good sometimes ; rarely happens) and I also have a fully functioning Battlefield 2142.

Anyway... I really don't know how this could be.. But I reinstalled the WHOOOOLE thing, everything, I left no trace left of my Bf2 or PR. Full clean reinstall, restart after installation of bf2 and after bf2:sf, 1.41 then 1.50, I dunno why, but now it works perfectly, but it's so weird, I get like 0.5 KD ratio xD Need to l2p! Best wishes to all of u and thanks for creating such a kickass game.
