Shortcut trouble

Totalkaos12 · 08-03-2008, 01:49 PM

My friend downloaded PR today and is now getting this problem.

He tried to open up PR and it the game said you had to change your shortcut. So when he tried to change bf2.exe to pr it said that PR.exe is not valid. Anyone know what to do. He is running vista and clicking Run as Administrator

Deadfast made a great step by step guide
just for that issue.
Check it out.

Also answers to the most asked questions
are posted in the RED sticks at the top of the forum.
Always a good idea to review them first.

Hope it helps

My friend followed the steps and it still doesnt work. When he tries to change the shortcut from bf2.exe to pr.exe is says something along the lines of the name pr.exe is not valid. Any ideas. We have tried downloading it from diffrent sites everything and nothing has worked.

BTW he downloaded the complete collection from the ea store if this helps at all.

I've been looking everywhere through the forums and I think it may be because he bought it from the ea store. Is there any fix so you can run pr if you bought the game online from the ea store.

Read this it should make it clearer:
Solution for launch problem: "bf2.exe does not exist"

I think he got the pr application and the PR.exe (text file) mixed up.

Hope that helps

Ive been searching and people have said it doesn't work when downloading it from EA store. I havent found any way for it to work. Also do you think atleast my friend could get his money back so he can buy the regular bf2 in a store so he can play pr?

Anyone have any idea or should we just forget about pr and play bf2?

Deadfast has a fix I think
Project Reality Forums - View Single Post - FIX: Warning screen after launching with pr.exe

I think this is what your looking for.

Good luck
