But it would actually be meant to be distributed through steam, and it would be it's own game, so there wouldn't be this issue.

Can you tell us where:
bf2.exe is located
pr.exe is located
your profile is located (with video.con, audio.con, controls.con, general.con etc etc)

It's possible Valve may give the team access to Steamworks. There are many mods that are distributed via Steam. PR on Steam would be brilliant.

I tried launching Project Reality as a non-steam game. Although PR launches, I still get the error that I didn't launch from pr.exe.

Works fine for me.


"F:\Program Files (x86)\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\pr\pr.exe
"F:\Program Files (x86)\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\pr\"

Hey guys, have you tried going to program files/Steam/steamapps and changing the bf2.exe into pr.exe? I'm not sure how to do it, but perhaps turning the main exe file into an exe for a shortcut for PR? I'm sorry but I ain't expert on this

Hope I helped tho.

ok on the PR desktop icon, right click on it and go to properties. click the tab "compatibility" and under the Privelege Level check the box that says "Run this program as an administrator". This is for vista im not sure if xp users have this. you could give this a shot but im not 100% sure if this will work.

Might have to make it so you start PR.exe first then launch the BF2 from Steam using the "+modPath mods/pr" parameter. Might need new PR.exe from the Devs for it though.

Hmm

When you go to launch pr.exe, look at your processes in task manager, take note of what processes start. The order should be something like:
pr.exe starts
bf2.exe starts
you play
bf2.exe closes
pr.exe closes

See if it differs at all, for example, iirc the EA downloader version goes something like:
pr.exe starts
first bf2.exe starts
second bf2.exe starts
first bf2.exe closes
you play
second bf2.exe closes
pr.exe closes

So what does the steam copy look like when you launch pr.exe?

You should also check out pr.log, and paste it's contents here.
