Salutations
I didn't see Questions subforum. Sorry, I just wanted to be clear because FH does this same thing
What file(s) must I back-up should the pr.exe not reverse what was done upon exit..?

Could you elaborate a little bit
I have a hard time understanding your question

Doesn't pr2.exe swap a BF2 shader file ? I know FH2 does
I just wanted to know what file(s) should I back-up, in case of BF2 install getting damaged for whatever reason

There's no such exe called pr2.exe, it's pr.exe. And no, it does not modify BF2 files.

I got confused.
Well ? Why can't I use "H:\Battlefield 2\BF2.exe" +modPath mods/pr
?

It handles some things for the menu, validates your profiles and some other files to make sure there's no dodgy modifications, and a few other little things. It'll be replaced in 1.0 by a proper launcher which does a whole lot more.
As to why FH2 is changing shader files, no idea why they're doing that, it's not needed
. I'm sure they have their reasons though...

Ahh. Well, FH2's current version is pretty old, before the final v1.5 BF2 patch, that's why it runs a specific shader file and supposed to revert back to BF2's every normal exit
Cheers all
