How do I switch accounts?

Post by Ginto »

Sketchy as hell title, but I have more than 1 account in BF2. How can I use another in PR when it only gives me one option to choose?


Name: Ginto Maldari
Example of name I could switch to: G1nto Maldari

But it only gives me the option of the first, despite the existance of several others.

How can I resolve this?

Not at my gaming PC atm, but can't you choose to import other accounts just like you normally could?

If this is true I don't know how. I shall investigate through the launcher a bit more in this case.



Yes! I figured it out. Thanks for mentioning importing, I honestly hadn't a clue what to do.

What I did was copy and paste my profiles folder from Documents/Battlefield 2/ into Documents/Project Reality/, and I overrid what was there. It worked, I can select multiple ones from the additional accounts.

Albeit useless, you were useful in making me think of something to try. And it worked. You have been awarded to be commander of <insert faction here>. Congratulations sunshine

When you launch PR next to play there is a small down arrow, click that arrow and click on select profile. This is not the Place to post questions about how to do fundamental things such as that try reading your Project reality field manual which was downloaded along with your File when you downloaded the mod. That too is accessible through the Project reality launcher

I don't think you realised, I tried this. The problem I was having was that it was displaying only one account/user, when I had more than 1. I fixed this by copy and pasting the Profiles folder from the BF2 folder in My Documents over to Project Reality's folder in My Documents. This then added the new profiles and updated any that may have been there. After relaunching the launcher, they appeared in the profile selection.

Press the arrow and Select Profiles -> Press the Manage Profiles and you can add more or even create them. To switch profile to use, go to Select Profile, click the profile you wish to use and press Login.
To change settings just go to 'Options' and choose the profile you wish to edit from the top drop down menu.
