so ive been playing the latest release just fine, we use it over at the tournament i play for (FFTF) and have had some fun times in recent battles. however, today i decided to try the Training mode and get a feel for all the weapons and their skill. the only thing is no matter what map or server i join i always get these Red and black textures over everything, some are missing like bunkers, sand walls and hangars. after a while these will slowly turn back to normal and i decided to ignore it. to my demise i found out no matter what the cause is, every time i die my game crashes to desktop, no errors or messages.

note that everything works perfectly in NON training servers.

is it my pc being dumb or is there something else going on?

thanks.

ok, ill try to reinstall the file, im gonna download them for another source hopefully this will mean the files are correct and hopefully training will work correctly.

many thanks.

Clear out all the pre-cached textures in the following directory:

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Battlefield 2\mods\bf2\cache

Replace "Administrator" with whatever your normal windows login is.

BF2 R will re-do all your textures/images/et.. upon next re-load of a map.

uninstalled and did a fresh clean reinstall of the core and levels. i also tried cleaning the cache several times today and before but sadly i still have the same problem. maybe its my video card or some other hardware.

Hi,
I have recently installed this mod with some enthusiasm, and as a BF fan form the days of 1942, I am quite keen to get going.
I tried getting on to the training servers, but to no avail. I can only assume that my ping is not good enough as I am situated in South Africa with a 4M line. This however, is not what I am concerned about at this stage.
With this in mind, I was hoping to do some training offline, however when I try to deploy a "create local" server, there are no maps listed for me to add.
Am I missing something here? Is it actually only available online?

I am hoping that I managed to post this to the most relevant section in this forum, apologies to anyone if it is not. I also didn't pick up on anyone else having the same problem. I am hoping it is an IU error.

Many thanks to this comunity for the work done to move to the next level in the BF experience.

Good day, Problem Child, and welcome to the site.

To fix your problem, follow these easy steps, and you should be good:

"Q: I have no maps when I try to create a server.

A: First, ensure that you have downloaded PR 0.85 Levels. If you have and have installed it, you need to edit the following file, use notepad or similar to open: "Documents\Battlefield 2\Profiles\<profile>\General.con" (where <profile> is the number of your profile, as seen in the order of the login screen, 0001 being the first in the list). Once you have opened that file, edit the line "GeneralSettings.setUseBots" and change the 1 to a 0. Save, and you should be fine." -- https://www.realitymod.com/forum/f27-pr ... -85-a.html

Thaks, will do, I must admit I did see this in the FAQ's, however I was not sure if the version numbers are the same, as my file that downloaded is listed as 0856. But thanks for the quick reply, I will jump on it.

0.856 is this version. we just call it 0.85 to make it easier
