Try to install DirectX End-User Runtime (DirectX Redist) from Microsoft. You probably need .Net 4.7.2 Runtime and some older (year 200x) 32-bit/x86 VisualC++ Redistributable packages as well.

It did not help, I uninstalled Malwarebytes antivirus, tried to enter the game and all the same, restarted the laptop and all the same thing. At the bottom it says Process cannot access the file "C:\Program Files (x86)\Project Reality\Project Reality BF2\mods\pr\vars\fci", because this file is used by another process.

Post by bad_nade »

After a bit of debugging I'm starting to think that the "Unable to delete fci" message is not related to the crash. That's because PRLauncher.exe attempts to delete the file (or its directory) AFTER the game (prbf2.exe) has exited. Thus at the time the error is generated, the game has already crashed.

You might wanna do a procdump and send us the DMP file so the devs can debug further https://www.realitymod.com/forum/showthread.php?t=147961

Find PRBF2 errors in Event viewer:
  1. Right-click Start button -> Run -> eventvwr.exe
  2. Windows Logs -> Application
  3. Open Action menu -> Filter current log -> XML tab -> Select checkbox "Edit query manually"
  4. Add this code:

    Code: Select all

    <QueryList>
      <Query Id="0" Path="Application">
        <Select Path="Application">*[System[Provider[@Name='Application Error']]] and *[EventData/Data[1]='prbf2.exe']</Select>
      </Query>
    </QueryList>
    
  5. Select a couple of recent events -> right-click -> Copy... -> Details as text
  6. Paste text here and wrap

    Code: Select all

     tags around it (switch to advanced editor to see the [#] button)
    [*]After you're done, open Action menu again -> Clear filter[/list]

Exception code c0000005 is an access violation:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/shows/inside/c0000005
An Access Violation is a type of Exception caused when an application Reads, Writes or Executes an invalid Memory Address.
That might be related to Windows' built-in exploit protection settings like Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR).

Let's try this:
Start -> Settings -> Update & Security -> Windows Security -> Open Windows Security

App & browser control -> Exploit protection settings -> Program settings "tab" -> Add Program to customize -> Add C:\Path\To\PRBF2.exe

For Program settings for PRBF2.exe, try to disable "Force randomization for images (Mandatory ASLR)" and/or "Randomize memory allocations (Bottom-up ASLR)", and try playing the game.

Reason: Removed references to DEP as it had no effect other than security implications.
