I apologize if this is the wrong spot for this, but I didn't see a tech support part of this forum, only bug reporting. Anyway, I'm DLing PR for the first time and encountered an error message immediately on launch:

"pr.exe has stopped working"

Can anyone assist in helping me get this mod working?

tech forum is here:

Project Reality Support - Project Reality Forums

As for the problem, im not sure. have a search in the above forum and Post your system specs. Welcome, hopefully your problem will be fixed soon.

edit: maybe these will help:

Seems running as admin and using compatibility mode will fix it.

Thanks for the help! Well. running as admin seemed to clear up that problem...unfortunately after it started to launch, it promptly CTD. :evil:

One of the suggestions was to change to service pack 3 under properties, but that isn't an option for me.

I think PR always works best with XP Home edition. When i switched to 7, it was a living hell to get BF2 running.

Indeed, patching just straight to 1.5 won't work you have to do it in order.

Out of interest OP what OS are you using?
