Hello everyone,
I recently purchased bf2, and downloaded the PR mod.
Well, bf2 was crashing a bit, but still working moderately well.
I downloaded the PR mod and would get an error message upon starting it... I downloaded the latest bf2 patch, and now nothing works.
when I open bf2 or PR.. my screen flickers a bit and nothing starts up
is there anyone who can give me a hand? I'm dying to try out this mod

firstly what are your computer specs?
uninstall everything,
then install BF2 followed by 1.41 patch
then after that install BOTH Pr Core and Maps

I have had that before. run the patch installer again. I had to do it 3 times before it worked. It's a BF2 thing (not PR). They encrypted the CD key or something. I think there's a registry fix for it, but just run the patch installer again.

Before installing the whole game again, try to run only the registartion code dialog:
Code: Select all
C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\Support\Battlefield 2_code.exe
(it's under 'Support' folder if your install path is different)
Enter your cd-key there and try again.

I said just run the patch again. The above never worked for me. I had to run the patch (JUST THE PATCH) a few times... but try it. Try anything to get it working lol!
ADFP. Check the properties of the shortcut, just to make sure it points to the right place.
C:\.....\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\pr\pr.exe

pr.exe is in the right directory..
I am still getting this silly message when starting it up "PR needs to be run fro PR. EXE and not BF2.EXE"

create a shortcut with this propertyes
""H:\EA GAMES\mods\pr\pr.exe" +modPath mods/pr +menu 1 +fullscreen 1"
WITH THE INVERTED COMMAS. DONT DELETE any of THE INVERTED COMAS
H:\EA GAMES\mods\pr\pr.exe represents your PR directory, yours would be C:\programsfiles\eagames\battlefieldII\mods\pr\pr.exe or something like that
to create a shortcut:
right clik on desktop, new, shortcut, an assistant will require you tu introduce the info I gave to you, finish.
