Hey guys, been having some trouble getting PR to work. It worked before, both on Vista and on the 7 RC, but after re-installing it this time I am having some...issues.

Install order:

BF2 - 1.41 - 1.5 - .856 core/levels - .86 patch - .874 patch

Screenie:



Either I get this, or it crashes after I finish loading the map (as soon as I can select my loadout)

Have you properly uninstalled everything before re-installing, or is this a completely new rig & setup?

Looks like a bf2 patching problem to me

Clueless, re-installed windows 7.

I had this once, i had it on bf2 and pr but after a week it was over.

Ok, then I'm with Rudd - something went terribly wrong during patching. Patch installers should write log files of actions they've performed. Try to find those logs and see if you can spot something erroneous in them.

And just to make sure, how's your UAC?

Errr? Running it as an admin and in XP SP3 compatability mode.

Just gonna re-install the damn thing.

Funny thing, I was just gonna change my settings to reduplicate the same problem I had and take a screen shot. It didn't work!

I have installed Win 7 about 5 times on my rig. Every time I finish installing PR, I get that same problem with the ground not being rendered. I fix it by tweaking my CCC settings and turning off AA in PR. In CCC I unchecked 'Use Application Settings' under AA.

But right now, to show the proof, I enabled x8 AA in PR and checked the box in CCC 'Use Application Settings' for AA. IT WORKED!!

I'm confused because I have an ATI 4850 that will not render AA (Or at least I thought) and makes all the dynamic shadows look boxy. However, now the AA in game does work for some reason.

If you have an ATI card, try disabling AA in game and mess around with your CCC. If you don't have an ATI card, then this troubleshooter cannot help you.

im having the exact same issue, been trouble shooting it for roughly a week now and still nothing.



i un-installed everything. BF2 and PR and re-installed as bf2 - 1.41- 1.5 PR87 core - pr 87 levels and still no luck.

I also wanted to add, that I had tried normal BF2 and it played properly.

if you all think that a proper re install will work, would someone please let me know the exact way it needs done, mine may not have been right.

also, I noticed this change when I added my second moniter, ever since it lost the ground textures.

pc specs-

intel quad 9550
nvidia 8800gtx
8 gigs of ram
2 300gig raptor harddrives in raid 0
creative fatality soundcard

all drivers up to date, directX up to date

my moniters are a 32" samsung tv and a 20" samsung LCD syncmaster

Multimonitors cause this issue. If you have two monitors disable the spare one(s) and youll be fine.

is there any workarounds? amd is it possible to have it disable it self only when I run pr? it didnt happen when I played BF2 with both moniters.

I have a dual monitor setup and I got rid of it. Except I have an ATI, not nVidia.

yeah, i went ahead and messed with the AA settings and everything through nHancer and my nvidia cp. didnt have much luck. just annoying that all my other games work fine except this one.

That would be annoying. I wouldn't be able to stop troubleshooting until I fixed it.

I was always under the impression this was a win7/ATI issue. Now I see people with nVidia cards having this issue, and BF2 was made especially for nVidia cards.

I notice every time I install BF2, that a message says 'Only tested on 32bit system'...just throwin that out there.

Weird...re-installed, fired up Muttrah, worked ok. Alt-tabbed to check something, game crashed, so I restarted...I got the problem again.

so anyone got a work around for the two monitor fix? i'd rather not take away a monitor

anyone?

Working after I disconnected my second screen, stupid not to try that first.

So I have Windows 7 x64, an nVidia 9800GTX+ and an Intel Corei5-750, and I'm getting the issues described here:

Sometimes I get no ground textures upon joining a game, sometimes I do.
I also CTD very quickly after joining, usually within 10-15 seconds, with no error message.

I have tried running with no AA, and without my second monitor, and it has not stopped the crashing.

Any help would be appreciated.

so just unplug it? then when I am done plug it back in? do I need to reconfigure my display settings too? seems like quite the hassle when bf2 works with both up and running
