Compatibility Issues /Verifying Client Data Freezing

[AlaskaEight]

Whenever I try and join a server the game freezes. If I try and create a local co-op server, the entire game will load it until it says "Verifying Client Data" then it will freeze, and the sound will begin to skip.

If however, after I run the PR Launcher, I change the compatibility for PR:BF2 to all settings off (The default is Windows XP SP3 and run as admin), everything works more or less like a charm (Though the mumble overlay sometimes doesn't show who is talking and sometimes does)

The problem is, the compatibility settings always go back to XP SP3 and Admin whenever I run the PR Launcher, so if I want to play, I have to always change the compatibility.

Any solutions?

Not sure what to tell you.
You can write a script in various programs to change the compatibility, so you can one click a shortcut , to save time, but not sure if we can change this to allow compatibility changes due to how PRLauncher was coded to interact with Windows compatibility modes.
