problem starting Project Reality

Post by SixBreaker »

Good morning,

I updated Project Reality today version 1.5.3153-802.0 and couldn't start it today. I'm not sure why.

It says the request is invalid due to an invalid GameSpy url

I looked this up and one thing I know is that I have a Battlefield2 game from BF2 revive. Thing is I uninstalled BF2 revive. However, I still have Battlefield2 in microsoft/programs/games directory. Then I found it in program files/ea games.

I deleted the whole folder.

I ran Project Reality and I get the same error. :sad:


Code: Select all

Faulting application name: prbf2.exe, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x4a8d6629

Did you or something modify your hosts file? Undo it.

no I did not; I simply updated the game through launcher

Some addresses changed, DICE doesn't like addresses being overridden in hosts file.

Check that you don't have any entries in it.
