Just wanted to post an update:

I have just upgraded to the latest AMD drivers that were releaced today (amd catalyst omega 14.12) unfortunatly this dose not fix the error.

Upon further review of the trace stack it appears the fault is when the launcher is attempting to call up the computers video details

and then further assertain what the computers current resolution is.

as with most null exceptions it appears some additional error checking may be needed on this perticular function as its returning a null value hence the crash.


Any insight in to potential fixes for this, even if its "wait untill the launcher has been updated" kind of message would be appreciated.


cheers

Hiya,
Go to MyDocuments\ProjectReality

Rename the \Profiles directory to \ProfilesBackup

GO to D:\Program Files (x86)\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\
Run PRBF2.exe once.

PR will sorta start, you'll get to main screeen and it will say "You must use launcher". Close PR.

Run PRLauncher.exe , go to options->Pick your online profile from top menu->Video Tab-> check that your resolution and other options are set correctly. Change if needed. Click Apply.

Go back to main PRlauncher window, click Play.

Here are the other three ways to do this,

moving the video.con file from Profiles\0001 to Profiles\Default is the most usual solution in my experience:

Your video.con file for your new profile was corrupted/deleted/etc.

Three ways to fix this:

Option 1:
GO to Documents\ProjectReality.old\Profiles\0001 and copy your VIDEO.CON file.
Go to Documents\ProjectReality\Profiles\0001 and paste the VIDEO.CON file.

Start PR and test.

Option 2:
Start PRlauncher,
Click Options
In the top white box, select your new profile
Select the Video Tab,

Change your display resolution , graphics quality and Anti-aliasing to suit your system,

CLICK APPLY.

test PR.

Option 3:
If that fails,
try this:
Start PRlauncher,
Click Options
In the top white box, select your new profile
Click the RESET ALL PROFILES button on bottom left.
CLICK APPLY.
test PR.

Awesome and thank you!! ill give this a go and report back, im acctually just finishing off a complete fresh reinstall of BF2 and PR right now so as soon as that has finished ill give the suggested solutions a try.

thanks again!

Pre-Update 1:
Just of note, the ProjectReality/profiles folder in my documents was never created the first time around as the launcher crashes before it can do that.

Update 1:

First method worked Awesomness and thank you once again, i should now be able to set up my profile and play PR wooohoo xD
