PR will not launch
I recently re-installed pr because it was crashing while playing the game and now it will not even start anymore. The normal BF2 starts with no problem. I can even activate the pr mod through the community panel and relaunch it but when i then try to login into pr it says to change the shortcuts/ launch through the shortcuts. I think it has something to do with the target under the properties panel of the shortcut. could anybody tell me what i should put there. my screen resolution is 1366x768.

Re: PR will not launch
You cannot launch PR as a mod straight from the BF2 community panel. It has to start up from the pr.exe shortcut.

Re: PR will not launch
You must run PR through the PR.exe,
PR can NOT run through the bf2.exe.
When installing PR there is a new desktop icon created with the PR dogtags, logo on the banner logo on top left of this page, find that, run it as admin.
Of course everyone has different version of BF2, my Origin version on win7 x64 is this:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\pr\pr.exe"
Yours should be similar unless it's a steam version, which would put it in
\steamapps\common\battlefield 2\mods\pr\ folder.
PR can NOT run through the bf2.exe.

Re: PR will not launch
had to edit the target for the shortcut
"C:\Program Files (x86)\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\pr\pr.exe"
i added the +modPath mods/pr which now is not there anymore, wierd but at least if launches now.

Re: PR will not launch
Do you have 64bit Win7? If so launch PR as administrator, and there should no be need to add +modPath mods/pr to shortcut. Its not because of running as admin, it should just work without it.

Re: PR will not launch
it has that little shied on its icon which makes it ask permission to run as admin on start-up

Re: PR will not launch
I need help and would like a reply as soon as possible please. I start Pr from the shortcut and it loads for a minute or two and then says "Project Reality is taking too long to respond"

Re: PR will not launch
have you tried the fixes above?PR_help_needed wrote:I need help and would like a reply as soon as possible please. I start Pr from the shortcut and it loads for a minute or two and then says "Project Reality is taking too long to respond"
the most common fix is
my documents
delete Bf2 folder
start BF2
quit BF2
start PR
Profit
the problem you are having has been aswered multiple of times try to search the forums
and making your account name PR help needed is not going to speed anything up it just looks silly
