Yeah Rawkk is right.

It looks like there's a solution for the players with EA Downloader game versions.

However, before I can come out with something, I need to know how many servers are using the shader check script as the fix can be also used as an exploit to disable the custom shaders.

Well I just got kicked for shaders my error is

MD5Tool Mismatch: mods\bf2\shaders_client.zip (len=204

If you are able to start normal BF2 using a link like that:

"C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\BF2.exe" +menu 1 +fullscreen 1

Then you are able to start PR using the pr.exe and You will NOT get kicked if you start PR with a link like that:

"C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\pr\pr.exe" +modPath mods/pr +menu 1 +fullscreen 1 +restart

Well this is just great. Cant play the mod anymore , tried last night and 5 servers in a row kicked me for the shaders crap, all off a default install

Next lets work out banning everyone who gets CTD's cause thats unfair advantage to tooo, BLAH

That is flaming in my eyes - no useful information to solve your personal problem - just a lot hot air.

And again a lot of useful informations to narrow your problem further down:

As long you don't use pr.exe to start pr you will not get it fixed.
As long you do not post all steps, you will not get it fixed.
Perhaps someone else has x-ray glasses and the endurance to help you out.

Using BF2 Complete Collection is no excuse to not use pr.exe - confirmed yesterday.

As with any problems with BF, there is a series of acts you can do to repair.

1) run registry cleaner, spybot S&D, adaware 2007, antivirus, defrag HDD with a proper tool if using XP, not the inbuilt one
2) delete your cache (if you don't mess with controls, then in XP : start/mydocuments and delete the entire Battlefield2 folder, run the game and setup again)
3) reinstall vBF2 patch v1.41
4) remove and reinstall PR v0.756
5) remove video drivers, use drivercleanerpro, reinstall latest video drivers or older ones if that doesn't work

This list ought to be your first recourse, needs to be in a stickied thread, for people to go through before they start asking questions or stating "my game doesn't work" as you aren't dealing with a console game but a Windows machine! HDD's corrupt over time, data corrupts, installations corrupt. You are dealing with magnetic media. Maybe when solid state RAM type HDD's come around things will be safer, but till then you must see that data fails in Windows systems.

I want to hear OFFICIAL statement about servers which DOESN`T enabled MD5checks for shaders

(yes, sometimes my English worse as ...)

Sorry Arn if a bit of frustration leaked into ONE post after paying 100 bucks just to play this mod just to be kicked from every server i join. ( new headset + bf2 )

I didnt insult anyone, sorry i offended your pretty little eyes enough for you to bring this up TWICE now - LETS MOVE ON.

arn354, calm down, nobody's flaming there.

Rawkk's got a problem and it's not as simple as you might think. I'm trying to help him over PM.
Besides, the game he legally bought is not working, so he's got the right to be pissed off.

I saw a copy of bf2 go for 6 dollars the other day, the advantage of playing a 3 year old game is that it should cheap as chips to buy another copy and Yes EA suck
