[Solved] Crash to desktop when joining game

Post by teddifisk »

Hi,

As the title suggests I am having problems when I try to join a server. Whenever I press join the game crashes to the desktop without any messages. I have installed PR on the steam version of bf2 if that has anything to do with it.

Does it happen in regular BF2 as well?

The first point of call when crashing to desktop is running in a window, which is done by

- Add '+fullscreen 0' to the end of your shortcut to PR.exe

If this yields no error message that you can track down, you can either use your error log in the \mods\pr\ folder or start trying more desperate things such as reinstalls of PR and whatnot (but let's hope it doesn't come to that).

Thanks Psyrus,

I put it in "+fullscreen 0" joined a server worked fine then removed the "+fullscreen 0" and now it works perfectly. Thank you very much! :smile:
