PR in Windowed Mode

[Hiyy]

I resently lost a good friend and fellow PR player (508th Dino). I am trying to setup a PR Live stream in his memory with a bunch of his friends, but I need to get PR into windowed mode for sake of ease with the live stream. Does anyone have a solution? I have tryed almost every 3D ripping program, tryed "-windoed" in the target line, and making a commandline notepad file in the install location. Nothing seems to work. Any ideas?

Try:

+fullscreen 0


If you want, you can extend that by passing the desired windowed resolution:

+szx 1280 +szy 720

...though this step isn't required, if you change the resolution through the video-options screen. By passing the resolution, you don't have to change anything in the video-options screen.

It may take multiple tries to get this livestream to work, when I try and record in game stuff at all in windowed mode, it often breaks my shaders in such a way that the ground disappears.

Edit your PR shortcut and ( what AfterDune said ) put this in it

Code: Select all

"D:\Program Files\Battlefield 2\mods\pr\pr.exe" +restart +menu 1 +fullscreen 0 +szx 1280 +szy 720

Dont just copy paste this, but adjust to your install location. Make sure you dont omit quotation marks or it wont work.

Thanks guys. Trying all these right now. Will edit with progress status.

Massive and Afterdunes fix worked! No more missing ground. Thanks guys!

I need to run in windowed mode as well because of a ctd at start.
"D:\Program Files\Battlefield 2\mods\pr\pr.exe" +restart +menu 1 +fullscreen 0 +szx 1280 +szy 720
Would i put the above into the target location or the start in location?

Edit: I have steam version, will i have to do something differently?
Here is what my target location read as now: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Battlefield 2\mods\pr\pr.exe"

[AfterDune]

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Battlefield 2\mods\pr\pr.exe" +restart +menu 1 +fullscreen 0 +szx 1280 +szy 720

That's the target.

The start location should be:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Battlefield 2"

Cool Thanks a bunch, ill give it a try and post back how it goes.

[vannah93]

wierd, I get a message saying ""C:\Program' specified in the target box is not valid. make sure the path and file name are correct"

[AfterDune]

Did you wrap more quotes around it? This should really be it:

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Battlefield 2\mods\pr\pr.exe" +restart +menu 1 +fullscreen 0 +szx 1280 +szy 720

Copy this entire line and paste it in your target box.

[Hiyy]

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Battlefield 2\mods\pr\pr.exe" +restart +menu 1 +fullscreen 0 +szx 1280 +szy 720

That's the target.

The start location should be:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Battlefield 2"

That worked! Thanks to everyone for the input!
