That is amazing. My friend has the exact same problem, same BF2 and PR problems when installing on win7 64 bit. Same loading screen, same PR.exe problem bla bla bla.
Nothing has worked so far, but i'll try your version.

Guys I'm having the same problem except running XP... help please!? PLEASE!!??

What is the deal with this? I have tried every damn solution in all of these threads and none have worked. I have the exact same problem as all the other folks posting in here. Do the developers see that this is a major issue that needs fixed? Can they release a patch/download/update/replacement .exe that will fix it? Am I missing something here?!? Is the BF2 PR mod dead?

Setting the PR shortcut to run as administrator solves the pr.exe problem, but when PR loads, the first load box with the dog tags comes up, but then is replaced by the BF2 load screen. I?m sure this is not suppose to happen, and then the screen goes black, flashes and back to black and then desktop.

Also, i cannot run PR without the BF2 disc in the drive, which i am pretty sure is not required either.

BF2 is having problems running after installing PR, because I played BF2 before installing PR and everythin worked fine.

I've installed PR 0.95 on XP.
Everything worked fine, until i try to join a MP server it loads until 80% and then it just crashes. I get no error message, or anything else.

I've tried to join a Co-op server, and that worked fine...

Anyone knows what to do?

No one posted solution works on Win7 (All frameworks, updates, drivers are latest), . I have an headache.
Even runnig the pr.exe causes that "You must use "pr.exe" to run Project Reality. Please update your shortcuts as required."
Come on, developers, start do something

Want you money back....you could contribute positively but no, you decide to bitch, the community here works on the basis of your nice, we'll be nice....but you decided to be rude.

But in any case, try running as admin....

Hello Devs!

I wanted to let you know that PR works wonderfully in Vista 64! However, I was trying to get PR to work in linux via wine/mono...neither worked. Seems that the pr.exe calls on bf2.exe and then the tr.exe file. I was wondering if the devs had time to see if they can get it to work on ubuntu/linux distro? The main problem with wine on linux is that net framework 3.5 doesn't work at all....probably be some time before that problem will be fixed.

It's too bad that PR couldn't be started via a command line like this:

"C:\Program FIles\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\BF2.exe" +menu 1 +fullscreen 1 +modPath mods/pr etc.....

I'm not too sure what the pr.exe calls? Does it implement net framework to work with pr? I have seen pr.exe call on BF2.exe and the tr.exe. I was wondering how the pr.exe calls on BF2.exe as well as tr.exe. Maybe there is a way to get this to work in wine on linux?

Any help is appreciated!

Greetings Gentlemen!

I made the leap to Win 7 and I too am having problems. I can play BF2 ok. When I try and play PR it gets to the map loading screen and it just stay s 0%. The mouse is still spining and I can escape out, but, the map just won't load. I have tried re installing twice. Same problem each time. I miss PR.

If you have any ideas please be gentle on the tech talk...I am one step from Caveman looking at fire on this thing.
