I cant run PR, it says error 1301. I go to BF2-community-custom games and click activate pr. It says it needs to restart the game, it does but after the big BF2 window the screen goes black. I click the start (flag button, sorry not sure what its called) and the black screen goes away. A window is open the says: "failed to load effect: static mesh.fx failed to open source file: mods/pr/shaders/datatypes.fx".
It even said at the end of it once:"seriously, check your shaders though!"
Does anyone know what the problem could be and how to fix it? Ive read the other threads but my problem seems to be a little different. Thanks a lot!
Error, shader

Re: Error, shader
Welcome to PR,
PR can NOT be started through the vanilla BF2 custom games menu.
PR has it's own front end launcher called PRLauncher located at:
\BF2\mods\pr\bin\PRLauncher.exe
For Origin installations it at:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 2 Complete Collection\mods\pr\bin
For Steam it's in the C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\ or C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\ directory tree.
Run PRLauncher.exe as an admin, that should get you started.
Also, most 1301 errors are due to antivirus/firewall blocking PR, if you experience that agai when using PRLauncher, let us know.
