Project Reality Crashes to Desktop

Post by DAnOOB »

Project Reality crashes to my desktop after 5 minutes of play, it isn't laggy, I have all of my settings on low, I don't know why it crashes, and it doesn't even have an error message.

These are my specs.

Specs:
Geforce 6200
Intel (R)
Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80 GHz,
2.79 GHz, 1 gigabyte of ram.

Sorry to say but those specs might not cut it. Even if you can run BF2 on high settings PR requires much more. It's probably a lack of RAM that makes your game crash.
Try running the game in windowed mode. When you crash you will get an error message. What does it say?

EDIT: Before you ask
To play PR in a window, right click your PR shortcut. In the Target section, change "+ fullscreen 1" to "+ fullscreen 0" You will get a windowed version of the game.
2. EDIT: New version doesn't have "+ fullscreen 1" but just add "+ fullscreen 0" to the the line (remember the space before "+"

Is this like really a periodic crash (really 5 in 5 minutes or so?) or perhaps you are having a damn great luck to always be a victim of the mass-CTD?

Otherwise I had similar issues... try running in Compatibility mode, disable high-DPI settings, disable desktop things, disable visual effects. Should work. If no dice, try creating a new account, see if that works.

Guys, when a new player comes, just answer his question and go on your merry way, instead of going berserk! It's THAT simple! :D

Just to throw that out there.

Forgot to say.. Have you updated your video driver? Seem to have helped this guy with similar problem: [Solved] CTD During certain maps.

Have you tried using GameBooster?

Game Booster - Download

BTW, did you do what Sgt. Mahi suggested? It seems to have worked before, and if you crash, an error message should appear (look at the link I posted on my last post).

I have GameBooster.
But it doesn't help much at all.

I'd put good money on this being memory related, latest edition of PR is using more memory.

I'm having troubles every 2 hours or so... I have 2 gig of ram and windows 7

I even have trouble with 3+ GB of RAM. 1 GB, like on my old computer, made the game pretty much unplayable at some point.

Still - when exactly do the crashes happen? When you load a game, when you're in the server, or in the main menu?

Assuming it happens when you're already in the game itself - does it really happen after 5 minutes always? Try a simple map like Jabal Al Burj on a LAN server, that isn't very laggy, perhaps it'll not happen there?

When I am in a server, just playing regularly, It crashes.

And, when I play, it has no lag at all.
It just crashes.
