I HAZ HELP


Have you hit the "update list" button?
Is Battlefield correctly patched to 1.41?
Do you have the correct version of the mod (.856), including both the Core files and the Level files?

Installation timeline

1) BF2
-----------------
BF2:SF Expansion |
BF2:EF Expansion |--- If you have expansion packs, this is when they should be installed
BF2:AF Expansion |
----------------
2) Latest Full BF2 Patch (FULL update 1.41)
3) Latest PR Build (Currently: v0.856)
2) Ensure that you have the Battlefield 2 '1.41 patch' installed correctly.
Full Installer:
http://largedownloads.ea.com/pub/pat...Patch_1.41.exe


3) If necessary, ensure that you have uninstalled any previously installed versions of PR. This can easily be done via the Windows Control Panel 'Add and Remove Programs' icon, under "Project Reality 0.x".*


4) Download the TWO separate Project Reality 0.856 Client Installers from your preferred URL/torrent from the realitymod.com Files Page
The two installers are listed as CORE and LEVELS.


5) Run the CORE installer, following the on-screen prompts to accept the license agreement and path of install. Unless you have installed BF2 in a custom folder (ie - not the default path), you will not need to choose a different path other than the one listed in the installer. We recommend changing the 'CUSTOM INSTALL' to 'COMPLETE INSTALL'. Choose if you want to have a desktop icon installed, then click 'Finish'.*


6) Run the LEVELS installer, following the on-screen prompts to accept the licence agreement and path of install. Unless you have installed BF2 in a custom folder (ie - not the default path), you will not need to choose a different path other than the one listed in the installer. We recommend changing the 'CUSTOM INSTALL' to 'COMPLETE INSTALL'. Choose if you want to have a desktop icon installed, then click 'Finish'.*
* It is recommended that you restart your system after you install/uninstall programs to ensure all installed components, files and registry entries are correctly installed or removed.


7) Enjoy the mod! We hope you enjoy playing the mod as much as we enjoy creating and playing it!
Project Reality Installation Guide

Before you go online to join a server
you should:

1. Download pbsvc
2. Start pbsvc installer, you should see options for install, uninstall, test.
3. Run the Uninstaller, then delete the PB folder to remove any leftover files.
4. Restart your computer.
5. reinstall punk buster files with pbsvc( if your using Vista DO NOT set compatibility to XP, run as admin ok)
6. After pcsvc installs, click the "test" option to check the punk buster install you just did.
5. Make sure it comes back "all green"
6.Download pbsetup(pbsvc DOES NOT install pbsetup.
If your using Vista DO NOT set compatibility to XP, run as admin ok)
7.Create a pbsvc installer shortcut AND pbsetup program shortcut on your desktop.
8.Run pbsetup (from the shortcut on your desktop) add BF2 to the games list, then hit update."

(pbsvc installs the punk buster 'engines' or applications.
PBsetup installs the files/gas the 'engines run)


Firewall not set up (open) for BF2 and punk buster
UPDATE YOUR FIREWALL

Make sure your firewall has permission for:

BF2.EXE
PBSETUP.EXE
(search for your location)

PNKBSTRA.EXE
path:
C:\WINDOWS\SYSWOW64\PNKBSTRA.EXE
or (not 100% sure but for 32 bit O/S I think it's)C:\WINDOWS\SYSWOW32\PNKBSTRA.EXE
PnkBstrB.exe
path:
"C:\Users\"your user name here"\AppData\Roaming\PnkBstrB.exe"

Good luck
