I have finally got my windowed PR to load into a server but I am having some problems. I am wanting to fix this so I can live stream on twitch.tv so I can attack new members and just have fun with my viewers. and the game has to run in windowed mode to capture video. I know you can use game source if you get the paid version of xsplit but I dont have the moneyz

I put PR into window with this I use 1920x1080 on my monitor res and 720 ingame bc of FPS issues

1. The menu does not line up. I can work around it if I click a little higher on the item then it will select it, but I dont know if that in game I need to aim higher to or if it is just an menu problem.

The menus misalignment I'm not sure how to fix.

The missing ground texture and black screen is fixable.

To fix ground texture:
Delete the shader cache folder.
You can try to delete your shaders cache and let the game optimize them again. To do this, navigate to My Documents > Battlefield 2 >mods >bf2 and delete cache folder. Run PR and let it optimize shaders again.

The scope black screen is fixable too, but I forgot how. Psyrus, BloodyDeed and probably Massive know this off the top of their heads. Has to do with a setting in nVidia control panel, possibly forced AA.

You might also want to try the "Allow BF2 and PR to use more than 2GB of RAM" trick .

2. /3GB Bootparameter / increaseuserva
Note: Both names describe the same functionality, /3GB on Windows XP, increaseuserva on Windows Vista/7.
Windows divides all your memory (RAM) in Userspace and Kernelspace.
On Windows 32Bit 2 GB are used as Userspace and the remaining 4 GB minus Userspace as Kernelspace.
This means EVERY program can use a maximum of 2 GB RAM.

However, Windows provides a method to increase the Userspace to any value between 2048 (2 GB) and 3072 (3 GB) megabytes in decimal notation.

In comparison a 64Bit operating system usually allows any program to use the full 4 GB, so the following steps are NOT needed if you use Windows 64Bit.
Note: both parameters can cause trouble in case 1 GB kernelspace is not enough. This problem occurs in particular when using an integrated graphic unit (common used in notebooks).

b) Windows Vista/7: How to setup increaseuserva Bootparameter
Navigate to Start>All Programs>Accessories>
Right-click "Command prompt" and choose "Run as administrator"
A command line window should open
Type in "BCDEdit /set increaseuserva 3072" (without quotation marks) (Screenshot)
3072 is the maximum, "2560" or "2816" is in most cases sufficent.
To let the changes take effect restart your computer

Okay I did everything you told me to do, deleting cache folder and changing RAM size and it fixed 1 of two problems! I can now see thru my scope! but I still cannot see the ground like in pic2 The optimitze shaders showed showed up when I loaded in but it did not fix the problem.

I have tried every video setting and compatibility mode you can think of. ground textures still will not load. Altho I loaded into a Falklands server today with windowed mode and the ground texture did load. So I hope with the new pr v1.0 this will be fixed
