Switching to Low/Medium/High will affect all settings as expected, unless your computer does not support it. Because, on 32 bit machines without large address awareness, you will not be able to select High Textures, and certain settings are restricted to a minimum of Medium, to help to reduce exploits with people running on Low settings to gain an advantage.
So I wont be able to like run effects on high and textures on low settings?
edit: oh nvm I sort it out

Sure, but certain settings have a minimum and maximum, some settings you cannot select Low, some settings you cannot select High (depending on your machine).

This is really cool. You guys have done a lot of work on this, and people will really appreciate it. I'd say this is cooler than similar apps like DayZ Commander.
Say if I were to format my computer and reinstall BF2 and PR. Do I still need to run BF2 and sign into my account first before running PR?

You would only need to run BF2 first if you were using Steam, in order to finalize the installation. Any other use case, you would not need to run BF2 first.

Now when it'll be more automatized will it still be relatively easy to manually install/add unofficial content like community created maps/mini-mods/updates like Single Player Map-Pack?
The question is not really how easy it is to install, but whether or not we'll lose control of this.

At the moment, the system doesn't support custom content. But it's in my TODO list, just not that high up compared to some other things
EDIT: It does support custom maps, but it does not support custom modifications of existing content

How does the custom map thing work exactly? Do you have to install them manually like we do now or? And what about the minimods? Will the updater give you an option to install them when they are released? Or is it separate from the updater?

Pretty much just like how it is at the moment, all completely separate. But, I haven't even looked into this sort of stuff yet, just focused on getting main PR all working
. I do have a couple of ideas however related to this for work in the future. This launcher and updater that I showed, it's not final in any way.

Well it looks awesome so far
I think the updater will be a big help for keeping players comming back to PR, since you wont have to wait years between new content. Keep up the awesome stuff!

Cool stuff, but why are you using an .iso? won't that be difficult for a lot of people to figure out?
