Hey guys I was downloading the full patch (( V0.973 )) from Realitymod.com Unfortunately it said that v0.73 was out of date. So I then tried to download this, V0.98. I went through the whole installation but I can't seem to find it anywhere. All I can find on my desktop and .973 and the mumbler that came with it. Along with the V0.981 Mumbler. Can anybody help me?

So, I downloaded it and got as far as I could until I was confronted by this || Unable to detect a valid Project Reality:BF2 Installation. This setupup requires Project Reality: BF2 v0.973 to be installed. If you are sure PR:BF2 v0.972 is already installed, You can choose to skip this error message by selecting Cancel. Do not selet this option if you are unsure, As this may destroy your PR:BF2 installation. Otherwise, Press Yes to continue to the PR Downloads page, Or no to exit installation


I click cancel : I then went on with the installation. Once it was done I relized nothing happened.. At all.

Hiya,
need some questions answered so we can help you out here:
1. What version of BF2 do you own? Steam, EA Origin, Retail DVD, Desura, etc?
2. Does vanilla BF2 online multiplayer work correctly?
3. Does (did) PR 0.973 start, did you then get a screen with big red letters saying your version was out of date? If yes, that is a good thing, but we need to know how far along in the installation process you've gotten so far.

Here is the general reply I give to those who run into a snag while installing PR, please look through to make sure you've down this correctly, and mention which parts worked, and which didn't:
'[R-COM wrote:LITOralis.nMd']I'll post this and I put in bold the most important part. Let your friend read through this and check to see if he installed in the correct order.

[R-COM]LITOralis.nMd wrote: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.

You can then download the Anders Soundmod at your discretion.
