Re: Getting Steam To Work With The PR Launcher
I would like to know this as well.
Somehow i can't get it to work. I have tried to add the shortcut on the desktop and then add that to Steam, didn't work, Neither did a manually created shortcut in the PR folder pointed to PRLauncher.exe, nor pointing straight to PRLauncher.exe without shortcuts.
Once added to Steam, it does nothing when clicked.

Re: Getting Steam To Work With The PR Launcher
What happens if you try to start PRLauncher.exe from where it is located? So without using a shortcut or anything and without using Steam do start it.

Then it starts up normal. I do have UAC enabled on my pc though, so it asks if it's ok for the program to run (Y/N), and then starts PRLauncher.[R-DEV]AfterDune wrote:What happens if you try to start PRLauncher.exe from where it is located?

I also changed the PRLauncher's download / log paths to my (non-sytem) Steam disk.

I've got the same. Steam launches PR and then quits it.

If that works, it's fine, right? Or you want to use the Steam overlay or something?zeep wrote:Then it starts up normal. I do have UAC enabled on my pc though, so it asks if it's ok for the program to run (Y/N), and then starts PRLauncher.

I bought BF2 complete collection off steam and installed PR 1.0 right after and it automatically put all the files in the right directories during install and everything has worked perfect.

Well, BF2 does not work with Steam overlay. PR is jsut a mod for BF2, so no luck.
What does work:
1. download overwolf Overwolf adds Facebook, Skype, Video recording, Messenger and much more to your favorite games!
2. download the slim steam chat overwolf plugin
Overwolf adds Facebook, Skype, Video recording, Messenger and much more to your favorite games!

It does actually.[R-COM]LITOralis.nMd wrote:Well, BF2 does not work with Steam overlay. PR is jsut a mod for BF2, so no luck.

Thanks for the suggestion but with that 3rd party app my Steam friends still can't see when i'm playing PR online.
It's so strange, i do this exact same thing. Importing it is no problem, but once Project Reality is in the Steam Games list it simply won't start if i click on it.'[508th_PIR wrote: Grey;1940756']RE: adding PR as a non-Steam game, this worked perfectly for me:

If you disable the steam overlay, PRLauncher will open fine. Not sure why it crashes immediately when using the overlay, maybe down the road when I get a bit of spare time I'll look into it.

Re: Getting Steam To Work With The PR Launcher
usually if you mod a game in steam you have to add the mod in the properties but I'm not sure if this will work but its what you do if you mod ARMA. Right click on the game in steam libraries go to properties then go to set launch options then copy your folder into the launch options. then add this in "mod=@(foldername)" quotations are included.
Example:"mod=@JSRS_Soundmod"
Example:"mod=@JSRS_Soundmod"
