PR Crashes to Desktop after Loading

[andyblagg]

I have just downloaded pr and installed it as per the instructions. After I join a server, the map will load and just when I'm about to click join game, PR crashes to the desktop.

I meet all the requirements to run the game, and have no problem with BF2, anyone got any ideas why this is happening???

install bf2 1.41 full update

Download and install core
Download and install levels
Download and install pbsetup with pbsvc
Update pb files with pbsetup

Make sure your firewall has permission for:

PBSETUP.EXE
(search for your location)

PNKBSTRA.EXE
path:
C:\WINDOWS\SYSWOW64\PNKBSTRA.EXE
( I'm gonna guess it's:
C:\WINDOWS\SYSWOW32\PNKBSTRA.EXE
If your not running a 64 bit O/S)

PnkBstrB.exe
path:
"C:\Users\"your user name here"\AppData\Roaming\PnkBstrB.exe"

If your running Vista
have shortcut set to "run as admin" and compatibility mode XP set

Hope it helps
