How to Totally uninstall old PR files v.1.2.1 for clean reinstall

Post by Iguanadjy »

It’s all in the title :

How to Totally uninstall old PR files v.1.2.1 for clean reinstall

I’m going back to Switzerland in few days after years abroad and thus getting back to my desktop computer who runs windows 7 and haven’t played PR on it since November 2014...

Just want to delete all and make a fresh reinstall of PR since it became a standalone for quite few years now (BF2 was still mandatory back then and PR mumble was separated also if I remember well)

Just making sure of all the steps I must donto make sure nothing gonna conflict for a clean install.

Thanks in advance!

If you can't find it that way, and for others that might have this issue reading this, the uninstaller executable can normally be found in your installation folder subfolder 'uninst' which by default is:

Code: Select all

C:\Program Files (x86)\Project Reality\Project Reality BF2\uninst

Which method do you recommend honestly and for PR mumble too? Damn was so long ago I’m scared to mess something up or that something stays somewhere with punkbuster or smth that will corrupt files when I re install PR

PR Mumble was integrated with PR itself in v1.0, so if you are on v1.2.1, if you uninstall PR it will also remove PR mumble and so on automatically. For uninstalling programs the proper way:

You can if you no longer wish to play BF2 but that isn't necessary to install or play PR. No conflict will exist.

Yeah I know but I’m asking because I remember seeing a post fee years ago about some bf2 files that messed up with the install of the standalone version of PR
