XP crashes when loading maps

Post by RyanBrady33 »

MacBook Pro 13"
2GB RAM-DDR3
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.26GHz
NVIDIA GeForce 9400M
VRAM 256MB

I have had this problem when loading a lot of the insurgent maps such as Al Basarah, Ramiel etc. Basically it loads all the way and then crashes to the XP desktop, without any message. Any solution? :)

Run PR in 'windowed' mode
If you still have problems
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.
("C:\Program Files (x86)\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\pr\pr.exe" start +fullscreen 1)

Change
+fullscreen 1
to
+fullscreen 0
Should look like this in Vista ( XP lose the (x86) ):
"C:\Program Files (x86)\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\pr\pr.exe" start +fullscreen 0

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