Yes.

1. Is this 2D indicator (chevron) displayed right away, when the SL sets the marker? Or after some time? Does SL himself see this chevron (marker is far away, say 500m)?
2. Range to the marker, that is shown on map - it will always show 0, unless I man the mortar?
1. Should be displayed right away, and SL should be able to see it.
2. No, the range indicator should always work (as long as you can see it).

Try replacing your tr.exe (mods/pr/tr.exe) with this one:

If this exe doesn't work either, it should at least give you an error message.

OK, will try to make it work..
What about this .net framework thing? Is it required for tr.exe to run or not?
If required - will .net framework 4 do? or it will work with 3.5.1. only?
How can I check if .net framework is installed and working properly?

AFAIK, it's only required for pr.exe, NOT tr.exe. So don't worry about it.

So, if PR is working, then everything is fine with .net, I suppose. Thanks.

Chevron disappears if marker is closer than 125m. Simple.

If you read closely, You will notice, that distance doesn't matter in my case.
I cannot see chevron AT ALL - at 200 or at 2000 m.
If I come close I see 3D marker, as earlier.

He has the CD version, and if you need more info I can ask him, just felt like I should let someone here know.
Just letting you guys know he must've had antivirus on or something, it worked today perfectly fine.

And please do not forget to include the right version of tr.exe in the upcoming patch
UPDATE: I don't know if these two issues are connected, but I didn't get any CTD on disconnect after replacing the tr.exe
Will give it more comprehensive testing this evening to make sure.

The Chevron also does not show up on the compass (in all situations I have been in) when you join a squad that already has an active marker. It only appears once the squad leader sets a new marker after you have joined.
just now I've had the opposite situation.
Played the Fallujah West as insurgent. I joined the server in the middle of the battle. When I joined squad and spawned, I saw the chevron.. everything seemed OK.
But when I opened the map, I saw no marker there.
I followed the direction the chevron said me to go and after some time I saw 3D attack marker. Opened my map again - there was no marker.
When SL set the new marker, everything became normal. Chevron worked, marker was on map and 3D marker also was there, when I got close.

That's a vBF2 bug where you can't see the markers on the map if you joined after they got placed, same with mine markers and similar

Unfortunely i received an new error with this.
I get kicked out trough punkbuster from the UK warfare server.
(happend over 5 times already)
Md5 tools mismatch @ mods/pr/tr
So somehow punkbuster don't register it as an valid tr
hope there is a way to fix this as well.
Tnx
