Good morning,

I updated Project Reality today version 1.5.3153-802.0 and couldn't start it today. I'm not sure why.

It says the request is invalid due to an invalid GameSpy url

I looked this up and one thing I know is that I have a Battlefield2 game from BF2 revive. Thing is I uninstalled BF2 revive. However, I still have Battlefield2 in microsoft/programs/games directory. Then I found it in program files/ea games.

I deleted the whole folder.

I ran Project Reality and I get the same error. :sad:


Code: Select all

Faulting application name: prbf2.exe, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x4a8d6629

Did you or something modify your hosts file? Undo it.

no I did not; I simply updated the game through launcher

Some addresses changed, DICE doesn't like addresses being overridden in hosts file.

Check that you don't have any entries in it.

Not relevant anymore, we hacked around it.
