Hello, welcome to PR and welcome to the forums,

Follow this guide:
https://www.realitymod.com/forum/f27-pr ... guide.html

You MUST start vanilla BF2 once, log in to or create a player profile, and join a vanilla BF2 server for BF2 to write your profile settings to the Windows Registry.
While you are in vanilla BF@, go to Options, Video, and set your video options, and specifically your resolution, to the correct settings for your monitor.
Save that,

Then start PR and see if it works.

If still not working you have to add a command line to your PR.exe shortcut, such as:
'[R-COM wrote:MaSSive;1759165']First thing to do is to run in windowed mode. Right click your PR shortcut and edit target line so it looks like this.

Code: Select all

\Battlefield 2\mods\pr\pr.exe" +menu 1 +fullscreen 0 + szx 800 + sxy 600
Don't copy-paste this adjust to your needs. szx 800 and szy 600 are in fact resolution you want to run in windowed mode. Adjust to be less than your max desktop resolution.

If you get any error take screenshot of it if possible and post it here. In windowed mode you will see errors, while it wont output anything in fullscreen. So lets see whats wrong.
