Problem running BF2 and PR.
So I dug up my BF2 game wanting to try this mod out. I install it, download PR via torrent and install that. Go to run the game and it goes to a black screen then back to my desktop. I have it running under XP SP2, latest video card driver, and as admin and still nothing. Anyway to fix this issue would be great.

Re: Problem running BF2 and PR.
Did you remember to patch the BF2 before installing PR?
1.4 - 1.41 and 1.5 patches. In that order.

Re: Problem running BF2 and PR.
So I need to patch BF2 with 1.4, 1.41 and 1.5? I did download patch 1.5 and ran it but said BF2 was up to date.W4lt3r89 wrote:Did you remember to patch the BF2 before installing PR?

BF2 by itself should run and it wont. Its funny the last time I played BF2 was on my old XP system first time trying to play it on Vista and its a headache.

You need to patch them in that order afaik. 1.5 isn't retail patch.
At least I did so when I had Vista and it worked just fine.

Re: Problem running BF2 and PR.
I think i had that too a week ago. Was playing PR already a lot, and suddenly i get a CTD right after getting a black screen (which i would interpret as loading). I had to reinstall BF2 + patches + mod to get it working again.
