Can I keep both versions?

Post by Kenneth Oath »

Hi all,
Love v1.0 but would like to keep v0.98 as well, as I like the singleplayer aspects of the old version. is this possible and if so how?
Any help greatly appreciated. :neutral:

I assume you don't yet have 1.0 installed, so here's what you need to do:
  1. Browse to your BF2 folder (default located somewhere in c:\program files\ea games\battlefield 2 OR c:\program files (x86)\ea games\battlefield 2).
  2. Then go to the 'mods' directory
  3. In there, rename "pr" to "pr_098"
  4. Do you have a PR shortcut on your desktop?
  5. If so, rename it so it says "0.98" somewhere
  6. And in the properties of the shortcut, change "mods/pr" to "mods/pr_098"
  7. Now that's in place, you can safely install 1.0

Thanks AfterDune,

I have installed 1.0, which overwrote my .98. So I'll reinstall .98 in a custom folder in mods and follow you instructions.

Thanks again for the help.

PR v0.98 will install in "mods/pr", just like v1.0 and you can't change that. You'd need to install PR v0.98 in a folder that isn't your BF2 folder and once installed, rename it and move it into your BF2 mods folder. Not really ideal to do it this way I think, but you can try.

I can but try, AfterDune. I'll consider it a challenge in reverse engineering!
Thanks again.
