Two lines of troubleshooting here:

1.

Do you have automatic updates for your Radeon video card drivers?

Have you played any vanilla BF2 recently?
This was a problem for many years,
easy solution is this:
GO to My Documents\Battlefield2\ and copy you Profiles folder to a backup location of your choice,
Remember your account information (usernames/passwords) , write it down somewhere.
delete the \My Documents\Battlefield2 folder.
start vanilla bf2.
Log in to multiplayer server.
Adjust your audio/video options to your preferences.
shut vanilla bf2.
start PR.

that should fix this.

(I do not know which files inside My Documents\Battlefield2 is the culprit, maybe someone else can explain this)

2.

Try this:

on the shortcut on the desktop right click, properties
target line should be like this

"C:\Program Files (x86)\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\pr\pr.exe" +restart 1 +playerName YourCaseSensitivePlayernName +playerPassword YourCaseSensitivePassword +joinServer 206.217.133.10 +port 16567

That will connect you to a north american server I play on regularly.

IDK if this will work, it will however save time testing things going forward.

Still not working. Tried both.

Can you log into vanilla BF2 and join an online server?

Yes I can

Do you have a legit copy of BF2?
Are you using the NoCD crack on a legit retail copy of BF2?

Corrupted installer files:
Verify that your files are not corrupted:

Try this:
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

Shutdown as many background programs as possible to free up RAM.


--
So, we check to see if 0.981 installer was corrupt, we increase RAM available to BF2.exe and PR.exe, free as much RAM as possible, ... after that it will be simply quicker to uninstall PR and reinstall I'm sorry to tell you.

Already done that, Re-Installed and everything.

I played PR at 0.97's Version (A month ago or more) and it worked fine, then I took a break from my computer, came back and downloaded the update, and I can't play.
(Just letting you know if you did not know)

Not sure what the problem is here...

"memory.dll: thread 5828 is deallocating main thread memory"

If the number '5828' changes each time, you will need to uninstall and reinstall 0.973 and patch to 0.981

Make sure you download a new copy of the 0.981 installer from a different source.
