Disabling PR shaders

[R.M.S.1.3]

Seems like "RE-ENABLE YOUR SHADERS CHEATER!" will become the next "BS HAX!".

Hopefully the devs will come up with a fix like the MD5 check shortly to end these ridiculous accusations.

You are using the shortcut to pr.exe to launch, aren't you?

[Engineer]

Yes.

"G:\Battlefield 2\mods\pr\pr.exe" +modPath mods/pr +menu 1 +fullscreen 1

I have played with these 2 guys im thinking of and something is definetly different about their game. I just hope you guys can weed these jerks out.

If you're skeptical of a player on TG, just check the Battlerecorder of the round in Community tab and download the proper match. You can watch the player you suspect, see if bullets land near him, and make your decision.

Still, some with uber computers can still kill with the suppression effect. It's all about adapting.

0.756 the way it was shipped gives dishonest people an edge. Why do the devs want to give dishonest people an edge?

I think i got kicked the first time i played .75 after a while for trouble with my shaders by PB, and i remember other people commenting on this too on the server. They said to clear the BF2 cache wich i did an all was well after that, this was on the day of the release or the day after on OP Archer.

Launching by the old shortcut doesn't work and anyone willingly using the other way without knowing about he's cheating gotta be stupid. It takes more than twice as long this way.

Wrong!

Read before you start to write. Even I had this "bug/cheat or what ever" and i didnt now that, before one guy in TS told me this. I just thought the suppression effect isnt so hard how it was on the video because a effect the 0.7 one is still there. After this information I start PR with the shortcut on my desktop and the effect was like in the video.

BATTLE RECORDER is a great tool for this.

You can even watch in slow motion. You can use it to study a situation and see what "really" happened. If you see shots hitting within a few meters of a player, and that player is still picking and shooting at targets that are spread apart, then you most likely are looking at a cheater. Especially if he has to change his angle by 15 to 20 degrees or more to get on a new target.

Unless a player is right in front of you and you lined him up in the cross hairs before you got suppressed, it will be all but impossible for you to find him while suppressed. I've watched "suppressed" players turn 90 and 180 degrees and one shot other players that are 50 and 100 meters away. While a SAW gunner is unloading on him, and landing shots 6 inches away from that player. Yeah right, accident my butt!

Sometimes is not easy to tell, but most times it is obvious they are NOT getting the suppression effect. I have found some very obvious cheaters that way.
