Tried everything, still get .exe problems.

I've tried everything I could find, using the script for steam, I've rechecked the directory about 3 times to see if it was wrong, and I still get the message when I start up PR that "I must use pr.exe to run Project Reality"
Whenever I click the shortcut, it brings up steam, and starts BF2, so I click on the community tab and press activate, then I get the error.
Can anyone help..?
EDIT: I fixed it, for any steam user that has "+modPath mods/xpack" in their launch options, you need to take that out. Pretty random.

The search didn't really help, sadly. Anyone else have suggestions..?

Double post, sorry. But is it suppose to bring me to the Battlefield 2 mainscreen when I click the shortcut?

Yes you need to remove steam launch options, as PR: BF2 does not actually run through steams option settings it uses the shortcut settings instead.

Just don't launch it through steam, use the shortcut.
