Anyone possibly know a fix to get the ABR Client running? It keeps freezing when i boot it up...
I boot it up, see the splash screen, and it keeps at 0% and initializing.
WinXp Pro SP2, 2GB DDR ( Dual Channel, so 4 GB real), Enough HD Space, Dual 7900GTX.. ( in advance for all those that want to know PC specs..)
*edit, just got a error: Problem with reading the file for Reset

New error:
First error:
Code: Select all
ABR switcher
Problem with writing the file for rewrite!
2n Error:
Code: Select all
ABR Switcher
Exiting due to fatal error!
Anyone might know what this causes?
I have installed in various locations, and on the abr site and forum there nothing to find, except for a load of spam...
**EDIT**
http://www.battlefieldranking.net/optio ... 548.0.html
Gives the answer.. Had to use the extended google search options for it to find...
My google search : "ABR+Switcher" error
Has to do with hosts file not beeing able to write into.. Stupid error..
Also due to using a hosts manager to direct all the addlinks to 127.0.0.1, so adds dont show up.

Recently, I keep getting the same annoying badges and ribbons over-and-over again, even though ive had them for ages.
This my client acting up or a general problem?

Bosco is this not the new PR ranking/reward system that is going to be used by v0.7?
So how can it be a problem when it was build by the pr-dev's?
I don't get it...

@katanaGFR: I believe it has to do something with a file in the windows directory you have remove the write-protection
just cant remember which file.. you should perhaps be able to find it with a search.
the damn annoying thing I got with my ABR rank is, that I have the veteran air defense but not the basic badge. which means I cant rank up because a basic badge is missing and I get cant that badge because I already have the veteran one of it.
argh!

lol great thread!
If you're having problems using ABR, try editing your host file. It's a quick fix.
select 'Run' and then add..
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
open text editor and add
212.77.171.100 bf2web.gamespy.com
save.
Stats will work fine from now on..

That didn't do anything for me. ABR is still a buggy POS.

It works for everyone else!
It should update your VBF2 stat section ingame with your PR stats.

What the hell ABR got to do with Gamespy? (curses the software)

ABR is buggy especially for servers. Sometimes ABR causes a server-crash when it tries to send the files.

No idea, all I know is that it updates your in game VBF2 stats to PR stats.

that's on a windows box. a linux server can run ABR just fine.
