you need to install the prerequisites to play, this includes microsoft NET and direct X

read this for more info

[thewolf85]

Hey thanks for the advice i have installed all the elements you have recommended but to no avail it still will not start is there anything else you can recomend?

[DC_K]

yes, this is your first monitor:

Display Mode(s): 1920 x 1080 (32 bit) @ 50 Hz

what kind of monitor is this? HDTV?

you need 60 Hz to play PR. if you run it out of your second monitor, it will work fine

[thewolf85]

Hey i updated my refresh rate to 60 for both monitors and still the same error. I have recently also tried to reinstall the game completely and that did not change anything. Is it worth trying to create a new username and stuff just in case? And thanks again for all the help your giving me.

[DC_K]

can you copy and paste your specs from launcher again please?

how did you "update" your refresh rate?

try this: disconnect your first monitor, restart PC, and try running PR with just that monitor. what happens? if you crash, run again in windows mode, what happens?

there you go: I just went into the control pannel for my graphics card (which is shit and terrible) and changed it from there; Also what do you mean when you say in windows mode?

I have just tried with the one monitor and the same thing happened.

[DC_K]

to open game in windows mode:
prlauncher>options>video>untick full screen

launch and see if you get an error

also try 800x600 resolution in windows mode, in case you don't get an error

[thewolf85]

Ok so this is wired i did what you recomended and put it in 800*600 and it came up with an Error that says:

BF2 ERROR

DEBUG ASSERTION FAILED!

[DC_K]

go to your profile in your documents/projectreality/profiles/000x

how many files do you see in there?


open this dropbox, if you're missing anything, download and save it in there, then config your settings and try running game again
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/a0qm9ybeg3kl ... mszAa?dl=0

[thewolf85]

Yep so i see 8 and there are 8 in the drop box was going to attach the screen shot but cant find out how to on this thing

[DC_K]

try the following then:

PRlauncher->Options->Press the Big Blue Button that says Reset All Profiles. ->Click Apply.
Shutdown PRLauncher,
Restart Prlauncher.
PRlauncher->Options->Video Tab->Adjust your video settings->Click Apply
Try to start PR.

make sure you set your native resolution with correct refresh rate.

if that doesn't work, download the video.con file from the dropbox and overwrite the one in your profile, change resolution to native and test

[thewolf85]

Still not i really dont get whats going on

The game worked fine before i had to wipe my computer so this is really odd.

[DC_K]

the symptoms you're presenting sounds like a direct x issue or missing a driver.. could be more to it. are you sure you have all the windows updates and latest devices required, using full admin?

[thewolf85]

Should do but i will check again i know for sure i have all the directx updates needed ill have another look at the drivers and see if that the problem

[thewolf85]

Yep updated everything and it is still messing me around with the same problem

[thewolf85]

ok so i ran a dxdiag as well just to make sur it wasnt that either and it came up with nothing being wrong

[DC_K]

try this

go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Project Reality\Project Reality BF2
run prbf2.exe, using admin mode (right click)

what happens

[thewolf85]

ok where would i find that in that perticular file?

Is it in one of the sub files or am i missing something?
