BF2 PR crashes and goes back to desktop

Post by MajorJoeyZ »

Hi all.

Im new on the forum here, and im sorry if i dont speak English correctly.
Im 13 years old, and i live in The Netherlands.
I was looking on youtube and suddenly i saw a video of PR 0.97.
It was a long time ago that i played PR, and thats the moment that i decided to install it again. Now i have installed everything, i run the PR Shortcut, but it shows the dogtags, goes black, and gets back to the desktop.
I tryed to run bf2 normally and run it from there, but my bf2 does exactly the same.
Can someone help me please?

Greetz,

Joey

I dont know that sorry..
But the only thing i know from the graphics card is that he can handle Battlefield 3 and other same graphics games like that pretty well.
So it could handle Battlefield 2 aswell, i guess.

I get it, i think. But there is a problem. The language from my computer is Dutch. So, do you mean with 'Window Mode', starting in minimized?
And the shortcut change, is that supposed for 'Goal' or 'Start in'?
