Critical Error

[Daytrader]

I think its effecting alot other players that dont even report the problem, or just put up with it, because its a great game, when im on servers i hear alot of people getting the same error.

Is there Project Reality 1.2 Installed? The two may cause a conflict, and my theory is that's what causes this error.

One fix you could try is setting the profile as read-only and if it is set as read-only, uncheck it and recheck it.

Go to My Documents (XP)/Documents (Vista 7 8 10), right click on ProjectReality and select 'Properties', then click on the checkbox 'Read-Only' to untick it, and Apply. Then select 'Read-only' and tick it and press 'OK'.

[Daytrader]

Well i deffo uninstalled PR1.2, will look at making profile read only, will doing that work thou, as the game will not be able to write to thouse files anymore ?

[Daytrader]

I just checked and the Profiles folder was read only, and then the folder 0001 inside was read only, but all the files in the folder was not read only, how best to make all these files ? cheers

Hey Daytrader.

1. Right-click on the Profiles folder, and click on 'Properties' at the far-bottom
2. At the bottom where you see Attributes, Click on 'Read-only (Only applies to files in folder) three times, and press Apply then OK

Well i deffo uninstalled PR1.2, will look at making profile read only, will doing that work thou, as the game will not be able to write to thouse files anymore ?

Not sure if it'll work, but worth a try.

Making the Profile folder content read-only will cause this:

Is there any antiviruses running? You could add the PR directory to the antivirus exception list.

My guess would be a software conflict. Something's using that file that it shouldn't use, and it would make sense for anti-viruses/anti-spywares to cause that error message.

[Daytrader]

Before gaming i always turn my antivirus off, as you said it can conflict with games, thx for all these suggestions thou.

I highly doubt that, as I do not even use the Windows Defender. I don't use any anti-virus for about 5 years now. No.

I'm getting the same error. Randomly happens. nothing for a few days then three times today. Have re-done profile and checked security settings.
It's starting to really pee me off!!

Set AV exceptions for game folder and profile folder. ..Testing!

[Daytrader]

Yeh its getting a nightmare for me now, would have thought a developer would see the log and know what is causing it by now.

[Arab]

I found the solution.

Got that same error randomly when editing some files.

Code: Select all

--------------------
Launch Error
--------------------
1322: Error verifying profile settings. Please confirm the profile files are not Read-Only and try again. If the problem continues, try resetting all profiles to default in the Options menu.
--------------------
OK 
--------------------

Backup any files from ProjectReality that you might need before attempting this.

1. In My Documents/Documents delete 'ProjectReality'
2. In Program Files/Project Reality/mods/, copy 'pr', paste it and rename the copy to pr_edit
3. Run pr_edit by going to the bin folder, and double-click on PRLauncher.exe
4. Retreive the account you want to use again, and launch it
5. Create any local game and join it. This is to build the profile. Exit.

It should work now. It's weird since it's random. I then used the old profile folders and it worked too.

I dont have enough space on my drive to copy the 7 GB pr folder, so this has stopped all your crashing, sometimes i can go hours without crashing, did game always crash for you before then, and now not crashing at all ?, how long have you played now without it crashing, thx

Found the solution - DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/downloa ... aspx?id=35

It has downloaded all necessary components, now game is working!

As for the profile issue, try uninstalling PR, restart and reinstalling. It's definitely a bug, so I'll check with the devs if it's known.

[Daytrader]

Sometimes i can play a couple of maps ok, then another time just a few minutes, will try a reinstall i think, cheers
