BF2 PR crashes and goes back to desktop

remove this +restart +menu 1 +fullscreen 0 +szx 1280 +szy 720 that you added. I dont know what problem you have.

A realitymod dev have to help you with this.

[MajorJoeyZ]

Okay.
Well, thanks for your help!

[MajorJoeyZ]

I think i know the problem!
During the installation of the 2 patches for BF2, there were some files damaged.
I had three options: Cancel the installation, try again to install the file, or ignore.
There were like 11 mistakes, and i ignored them.
Could that be the problem?

[ExeTick]

that is most likely your problem. redownload those 2 BF2 patches again and try to install.

It seems that you have some problems with resolution of screen.

Try to delete Profiles folder in Documents\Battlefield 2
Then re-create or retrieve your profile in vbf2, and launch PR.

Somewhere else the said i had te delete everything that was in the Battlefield 2 Document File. After restarting, i saw that the computer has added a new Profiles folder.
Would it work?

EDIT:
Battlefield 2 and PR just keep getting black en crashes back to the desktop.
Do i have to restart the computer after deleting 'Profiles'?

[MajorJoeyZ]

I deleted PR, and BF2. I installed BF2 now without the patches.
But he keeps crashing to the desktop.
How do i fix this resolution problem?

(Sorry for the double post)

Try changing your resolution.
Go into My Documents/Battlefield 2/Profile/Default/ and open Video.con
Change the resolution to 800x600@60Hz, might work

Hello MajorJoeyZ,
welcome to the PR forums,

LITOralis.nMd;1799372']{Break}
Please read below and make sure you installed BF2 and PR in this order:




Here is the installation guide with download links:
PR:BF2 Support - Project Reality Forums
https://www.realitymod.com/forum/f27-pr ... guide.html

Here is the installation guide in tl;dr format:

Install BF2.
Run BF2.
(If it goes black and crashes to desktop, Go into My Documents/Battlefield 2/Profile/Default/ and open Video.con , Change the resolution to 800x600@60Hz, might work)
Note the version number on the bottom left corner of the log-in screen. Write it down.
log in or create a user account.
join online game.
adjust your audio and video settings now for convenience.
exit BF2.
Reboot.

(Optionally if you bought it) install Special Forces Addon.
Run BF2.
log in.
join online game.
exit BF2.
Reboot.

install 1.41 FULL PATCH.
Run BF2.
log in.
join online game.
exit BF2.
Reboot.

install 1.5 PATCH.
Run BF2.
log in.
join online game.
exit BF2.
Reboot.

Download and install 0.973 full installer.
Start the PR shortcut on desktop.
log in.
join online game.

If you crash at the splash screen, or the screen goes black and then crashes to desktop, try to start PR in windowed mode by following the directions below:

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

Code: Select all

Code:
"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. 

If you start in windowed mode and it CTDs, a Message will pop up telling you the problem. Take a screenshot or write this down and post it to this thread.

You can then download the PR:Vietnam, PR:Normandy, PR:Falklands and Anders Soundmod at your discretion.

[MajorJoeyZ]

Well, thats what i did.
But now, BF2 is starting.
When i join a server, it goes back to the desktop.
Another problem: I got patch 1.41 installed.
BF2 works, exept for the problem above.
But when i want to install 1.50, it says i already have a newer version of it.
So i tryed to install part 1 of PR, and thats says i need Patch 1.50 for it.

[LITOralis.nMd]

Read and follow these directions:
https://www.realitymod.com/forum/f27-pr ... 1-5-a.html

There is a single Registry entry that is set to the wrong number, you can download the small file and make the correction to fix this, it's easy.

Make sure you run the one for your OS, either 32 or 64 bit.

[MajorJoeyZ]

Oh, thanks, but Project Reality is already running!
Im so happy right know because i can play it!
Everyone thanks for your help!

[MajorJoeyZ]

Still 1 problem.
at the most servers he's saying: 'Your CD-key is invalid'
Is there a solution?

[Daniel]

read this, it may be helpful... https://www.realitymod.com/forum/f27-pr ... valid.html

[MajorJoeyZ]

Thanks!

[MajorJoeyZ]

Nop, didnt worked for me.
I tryed the bf2keyfix thing, but is doesnt work. And the 'goal' of the Regedit solution doesnt exist in my Regedit. I cant play any server, because of the invalid cd key. And im not banned before, by Punkbuster.

Try this https://www.realitymod.com/forum/f27-pr-bf2-support/112018-ctd-server-join.html#post1790489.
It is the best way. Tested successfully on many machines.

[MajorJoeyZ]

I forgot to run the keyman as administrator.
I hope it works.

[MajorJoeyZ]

Nope, doesnt works... AGAIN!
How is this possible?
