So i wanted to start a game of PR just now.
Thing is that the game won't start at all. I click the shortcut, screen goes to the correct resolution, black screen for a second...and all of a sudden, i'm back on my desktop without any error or notification.

I haven't changed anything to my PC and I played a game last night just fine.

If i start the FH, i get "BF2.exe has crashed".

When your game crashes corrupted files can be left behind to mess up other BF2 mods or even BF2 itself.

Some possible fixes you can try before you uninstall/reinstall:

Trash your BF2 cache files
Path:
C:\Users\'your user name here'\Documents\Battlefield 2\mods\bf2\cache

Throw EVERYTHING inside the folder named cache away.
don't worry the files will be replaced with new ones when the game restarts.

Still no joy?
Backup your BF2 folder that's inside your documents folder.
Once you have a backup delete the original from your documents folder.
Try starting PR from your PR shortcut
a new default folder is created
link to your online account.

If all goes well (CTD gone) all you have to do to get your custom settings back is copy your 'control' file from your backup to the new profile folder.
Path:
C:\Users\your user name here\Documents\Battlefield 2\Profiles\0002

Note: you may not have a 0002 folder so use 0001
(choose the highest # folder, It is usually your currant profile folder)

Good luck

Thanks, but in between the 6 hours of no reply, I already reinstalled And that worked
