Game forgets to launch?

[C. Jones]

Okay so I'm not really sure what to call it. Basically, I reinstalled windows updated all my drivers and what not, I installed PR 9.957 and I go to launch my game, the picture with the dog tags comes up, 30 seconds goes by and the picture disappears and my game doesn't launch.

Stuff I've done so far to fix my issue is

- restart computer
- reinstall PR
- Cussed a bit

This is really frustrating, if you guys can help, its greatly appreciated

Jones try running regular BF2 first then try turning on PR. McCartney and I were having the same problem. Then we did that then it seemed to reset something and it ran PR after that.

AMD althon 64bit X2 processer 5200+ 2.71GHz
2 GB RAM

any specific company, eg Sparkle, Asus...etc?

[C. Jones]

It only happened after I reformatted my PC ... it worked a week ago

[Psyrus]

I used to have this issue as well, very frustrating.

The eventual solution which I got off a different BF2 forum was to delete your "\My Documents\Battlefield 2\" folder completely, then run normal BF2 and retrieve your account. You'll lose all your keybindings and stuff but FINALLY it started up just fine for me. Such a relief.

I hope it solves your problem too.

As if fixing my problem was that easy... Damn aussie's were always smart

Thanks a lot man REALLY appreciated I'm PR deprived
