[Solved] [XP] PR Load failure "static mesh"

[A-team]

Evening.

Recently reinstalled BF2 on the computer, mostly to play PR again but I can't get PR to load. Have tried reinstalling BF2 & PR to no avail. Get a "StaticMesh.fx(2)" error [image attached].

If it helps, I have a newer copy of BF2 which is already patched to version 1.5, as far as I can tell.



Any help would be great. Thanks

Managed to find a solution.

I was able to get my hands on an "original" version of BF2, uninstall then install version 1, patch to 1.41 and 1.5 then install PR. So far so good. Makes me wonder if the new versions, which are already patched are not compatible with PR for some reason.
