Project Reality is not running

[Toolbox]

I'm having trouble opening up the program. As soon as I open the program, the only thing I see is the Project Reality trademark picture and the program stops running after that. I tried uninstall everything and re-install everything but nothing has changed.

I tried re-install the PRv0.981 again and it says that I don't have v0.973 but I can ignore it..

I also noticed that there are no icon for "Project Reality BF2 v0.981" so I don't know if that relevant to the problem.

My system:
Window 7 Professional
Sevice pack 1
Processor: Intel9R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU p8800 @ 2.66Ghz
RAM: 4.00Gb (3.72Gb usable)
System type: 64-bit Operating System
NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT

Hello,
welcome to the PR forums,

check to see if you installed in the correct order.
The last bit about Editing your PR shortcut is important.

LITOralis.nMd']Was BF2 installed and working before you installed PR? Was BF2 patched to 1.5 ?
Can you log in to vanilla BF2?
If BF2 was already working, we'll suggest one course of action. (Could be firewall/antivirus/router/installation error/etc)
IF BF2 was just installed NOW so you can play PR, all the parts have to be installed in proper order.
Please read below and make sure you installed BF2 and PR in this order:




Here is the installation guide with download links:
PR:BF2 Support - Project Reality Forums
https://www.realitymod.com/forum/f27-pr ... guide.html

Here is the installation guide in tl;dr format:

Install BF2.
Run BF2.
Note the version number on the bottom left corner of the log-in screen. Write it down.
log in or create a user account.
join online game.
adjust your audio and video settings now for convenience.
exit BF2.
Reboot.

(Optionally if you bought it) install Special Forces Addon.
Run BF2.
log in.
join online game.
exit BF2.
Reboot.

install 1.41 FULL PATCH.
Run BF2.
log in.
join online game.
exit BF2.
Reboot.

install 1.5 PATCH.
Run BF2.
log in.
join online game.
exit BF2.
Reboot.

Download and install 0.973 full installer.
Start the PR shortcut on desktop.
log in.
exit PR.

Download and install the PR 0.973 to 0.981 Patch
(If it CTDs, Edit the PR shortcut as described below.)
Start the PR shortcut on desktop.
log in.
join online game.

If you crash at the splash screen, or the screen goes black and then crashes to desktop, try to start PR in windowed mode by following the directions below:

Edit your PR shortcut and ( what AfterDune said ) put this in it

Code: Select all

Code:
"D:\Program Files\Battlefield 2\mods\pr\pr.exe" +restart +menu 1 +fullscreen 0 +szx 1280 +szy 720
Dont just copy paste this, but adjust to your install location. Make sure you dont omit quotation marks or it wont work. 

If you start in windowed mode and it CTDs, a Message will pop up telling you the problem. Take a screenshot or write this down and post it to this thread.

Haha. I fixed the problem but I didn't follow your advice.

I fixed by playing the original BF2 multiplayer and create an account. After that, I have no problem with Project Reality v0.981.

This is strange but I'm glad it's running properly again.

Thanks you for your advices
