'[R-COM wrote:LITOralis.nMd;1935471']Obviously you have a pretty decent setup,

Can you start vanilla BF2, login and join some multiplayer servers all on different maps, let us know if you also suffer very long load times?


Let's take a guess and say you either/and

1. have highly fragmented files in the directory C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 2 Complete Collection and the \mods\pr subdirectories.

2. Have a highly fragmented Pagefile.

---------------------

Defrag your hard drive.
The default windows defrag utility is ok, but not great.
You can buy some defrag utilities , some are great , some are ok.
You can download this FREE defrag program called MyDefrag from MyDefrag v4.3.1
and then download this custom defrag script and edit it as you need
(i.e. add your battlefield 2 complete collection directory to the front of your hard drive in the derfagging script)
[Script] Games Optimization Script for Data Disk



5. Check your Page File, if set to a sliding value, I suggest
deleting pagefile.
rebooting.
resetting pagefile manually to a single minimum/maximum.
Here is the raw information to determine your correct pagefile: How to determine the appropriate page file size for 64-bit versions of Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2
And here is a video tutorial to figure out your correct pagefile size:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAhn-WaW66M

then optionally:
manually setting it to a single minimum/maximum, and getting a defrag progam that will move the pagefile to the beginning of your hard drive. A free option:FAQ Special files - How do I defragment "C:\pagefile.sys" (the swapfile)?

'[R-COM wrote:LITOralis.nMd;1935991']Let's try another approach:

1. 1. Write down your BF2 login name and password
2. 2. Rename the directory C:\Documents and Settings\George2\My Documents\ProjectReality\Profiles to C:\Documents and Settings\George2\My Documents\ProjectReality\ProfilesBackUp
3. 3. Start PRLauncher. THe profile importer function will start, do NOT import your profile from vBF2, instead use the retrieve profile from GameSpy option, and enter login name and password when prompted.
4. 4. In PRLauncher, Click Options button,
   
   In the VIDEO TAB
   Choose the smallest resolution with the correct refresh rate for your monitor.
   Untick the Fullscreen tickbox.
   Turn Off the AntiAlias
   Disable VSync
   Set View Distance to 75%
   CLICK APPLY.
   In the GRAPHICS TAB
   Set all settings to LOW.
   CLICK APPLY.
   CLICK CLOSE.
5. 5. CLICK PLAY. Test PR.

'[R-COM wrote:LITOralis.nMd;1935995']Tribaja, you have almost the exact same system specs and exact same problem as this thread:
https://www.realitymod.com/forum/f27-pr ... artup.html

Are you 100% certain you have this suoritin? Processor: Intel Pentium III Xeon -suoritin (Physical: 2, Logical: 2)

Also, did you check your page file? "Page File: -1341231104,00 B" that is an error either in the PRLauncher retrieval of the info, or the system has a problem reporting the size of the page file.

Could you please try this:

Do you have the version with a fan, or the one without a fan?

If you have the one without a fan, I suggest downloading HWMonitor: HWMonitor CPUID - System & hardware benchmark, monitoring, reporting

Start HWMonitor before PR, you might be overheating your GPU, causing your game to crash.
