PR crash on map load

[HARRISON1973]

Installed retail BF2 CD
Updated to 1.5
logged into vanilla to retrieve account
Downloaded PR 1, 2, 3 from torrent option

As I tried to install them in order, I get corrupt files on; (with option abort/retry/ignore)

kits_client
staticobjects_client
vehicles_client
weapons_server
vehicles_client_patch1
weapons_client

I chose ignore as retry didn't work, yes I know, I tried to re-download, same thing.

My question is; could .net framework 4 be at fault? I have had it cause issues on other installs but I need it for some programs I use.

If not, wtf? over...

Hi Harrison.

Not sure exactly what the cause is so I'm going to throw out some questions to troubleshoot this,

Installed retail BF2 CD
Did you update to 1.41 Full before updating to 1.5?
Updated to 1.5

What was your download source for the PR install files part 1 , 2, 3, ? i.e. Torrent, GigaFront, ModDB, Desura, or other?

Did you run the installers as an admin using a Windows Administrator account?

Did you check the file integrity using a hash checker against our hashes?

Which antivirus programs are you running? It is possible (though not likely) that your antivirus quarantined or altered the PR installation files. Check your AV logs or quarantine to see if any of the PR files got placed there.

So most likely a corrupted copy of the installation files on a server somewhere, so please let us know where you downloaded from so we can correct the problem so others don't encounter this.

If possible, i suggest downloading the installation files from our official torrents,

dotnet 4 framework is probably not the issue. You can grab the dotnet framework verification tool and check your installation if you have a sneaking suspicion it is causing problems on your system :
.NET Framework Setup Verification Tool - Verify integrity of installation

Yes I updated to 1.41 then 1.5. The files I had were from the torrent option on this sites download page. After posting this, I tried 3 more times, all same results.

I finally fixed the issue by using the Desura downloader which worked like a champ although a little slow on their upload part (I have 100mb connection)!!!

The only problems I have now is "connection to server lost" while picking a server and random CTD while playing, which I assume is a continuation of the problems previous versions had and are unrelated to installing. Sure wish I could figure those out.

happens to me too quite often usually graphics

most common fix is to delete the BF2 folder in the user folder

then start BF2 and then start PR after

there is another fix for it but I cant remember/find it at the moment maybe some else will

The lost connection thing is a Punkbuster problem, I have git to connect always twice, then it's working.

The CTD problem is maybe a problem with your drivers from your grafic card. Do you have got a NV with new drivers? If yes, maybe give the driver version 275.33 a chance. This worked for many players I our team who have NV grafic cards.
