It's a long shot, but have you tried re-downloaded? You could've downloaded a slightly defected file. Try re-downloading off of a different host. Then if the patch file for you doesn't work try downloading the 'Core' and 'Levels' PR 0.86 files. Just a small suggestion.

i did that. i tried the patch first when i didn't reinstall PR, didn't work. uninstalled PR and got the full (now i had the full but the one for 0.85 and the patch of 0.86) for 0.86, still get the same problem

I know you said you checked all the files were there, but did you check they were in the right place? Also check the My Documents files too (I think they contain PR files). Other than that i can only suggest a full reinstall of BF2 and PR. If that wouldn't work then something is really wrong and i don't think I'd be able to help.

Yes, but you may aswell try re-installing BF2 as it could be a problem deeper into your computer that could be related to PR. It wouldn't take too long to do it so it is worth a shot.

that means i would have to move all my mods (except PR) into another folder so i don't have to reinstall those. and plus i lost my SF code and idk if i can find my bf2 code

Well... That does complicate things a little. Well it may have to get to that stage, or you could just ditch the other mods. Lets face it, none of them would be quite as good as PR :razz: On the bright side doing what you suggested wouldn't take nearly as long as reformatting if it ever got to that stage.

Oh wow... This gets more and more complicated by the second. OK. If your clan is situated around some of these mods then you may still have the install files, that way you could happily just reinstall them. If not then jsut make a copy of your mods folder and reinstall BF2.

If all else fails then look up on other threads, I am sure I have seen this sam problem on here somewhere.

time to move all my mods onto my desktop and reinstall bf2. that's IF i can find my bf2 code (further edit) ok i found my bf2 code and my booster codes, just not my SF code (oh well) time to back up my mods and make sure when i install bf2 back i have everything i had it at (edit{AGAIN!?!?!}) lol i found my xpack thing, backing that up.

hi there my version does the same thing and i have found a way around it that seems to work for me, simply right click on your ea downloader in the tray in the right hand corner and exit it, then start up project reality. I dont know why but when the EA downloader starts at boot up it doesnt let me play my game but once restting it it appears to work for me.

hope this helps, happy gaming
