So I downloaded the mod today because it looks awesome. Everything got installed and I open up the launcher set up my profile and everything but when I clicked play I got a black screen. I tried waiting but to no avail. I looked through the forums and found a thread about the same thing and it apparently got resolved by an admin or something. If anyone could possibly help me it would be much appreciated.

This is the thing from the support info menu in the launcher.

Pushing the limit on the system specs,
in general: update your .NET framework here:
Download Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.2 (Web Installer) for Windows Vista SP2, Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2008 SP2 Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, Windows Server 2012 and Windows Server 2012 R2 from Official Microsoft Download

specifically, you need to download razer gamebooster and manually add PRLauncher.exe and PRBF2.exe and PRMumble.exe as game files. Razer Game Booster Performance Boosting & Screencapture Software - Razer United States

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Battlefield 2\PRBF2.exe
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Battlefield 2\bin\PRLauncher.exe
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Battlefield 2\bin\PRMumble\PRmumble.exe

Make sure your laptop is plugged in and using Performance or Gaming POWER PLAN.
You can download bitsum processlasso free 64 bit edition and add the above three programs as "Games"
and make sure the PC runs in gaming power plan.

follow these steps:

1. PRLauncher->Support->Utlities tab->Clear Shader Cache Button.

2. offline defrag your pagefile. Tutorial: FAQ Special files - How do I defragment "C:\pagefile.sys" (the swapfile)?
Write down the size of Pagefile.
Delete Pagefile.
Reboot.
Defrag hard drive. (I suggest using mydefrag.com software and the steam games script on the mydefrag.conm forum. )
Create new pagefile.
create pagefile using proper size to work with your installed RAM size.
Reboot.

download bitsum processlasso free x64. https://bitsum.com/processlasso/
Manually set PRBF2.exe and PRLauncher.exe to gaming mode in Processlasso.

download razer gamebooster. Razer Game Booster Performance Boosting & Screencapture Software - Razer United States
Manually add PRLauncher.exe and PRbf2.exe as games.

That will optimize your system for PR.

From this thread:

[Script] Games Optimization Script for Data Disk

Here is a copy of the script to defrag an HDD that is
1. (NON-OS)

You can also download it direct from the forum.

NOTE: If you are coming to this post in years later, go to the mydefrag.com forum and download the latest version.

You really should defrag your C: drive...
Install Path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Battlefield 2
Free: 14.49 GB, Total: 457.41 GB,

You installed PR which has very large compressed files which have to be loaded each time, in probably dozens of fragments, which would be very very slow to load.

----------------
Also, shut down ALL overlay programs, including Skype, Steam Community overlay, TS3 overlay, AMD RAPTR, Overwolf, etc.
