Startup problem

Post by RussyBurger »

My game seems to execute, for example the PR window pops up, but then it will go into fullscreen blackness. This is normal as it usually goes into advertising who made PR, but it goes back into my desktop and shuts the PR window completely.

I want help with this because I DO NOT want to reinstall the mod again as my bandwidth is dog.

Sounds like your trying to run PR at an unsupported resolution. Make sure you run@ 1024x768 or higher.
You can add this to your shortcut 'Target' string:

start +widescreen 1 +szx 1024 +szy 768 +restart

Note if you don't have a widescreen replace with fullscreen
Don't forget to leave 1 space in-between pr.exe" and start:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\pr\pr.exe" start +fullscreen 1 +szx 1024 +szy 768 +restart

Your shortcut can do more. I use:

start +widescreen 1 +szx 1600 +szy 1200 +restart +playerName xxxx +playerPassword xxxx

Replace XXXX with your user name and password

Adding this string bypasses the startup video, logs you in and takes you directly to the server browser.

Good luck
