v1.0 Crashing when joining multiplayer servers

[Stickbob771]

Every time i start up PR it seems to go smoothly but when i get to multiplayer i refresh the list, it lags a bit, i click a server, lags again or sometimes even freezes completely. Every time i click Deploy the game closes/crashes without any error messages. I tried running it on Vista (and service packs), XP (and service packs), and windows 7 and the same thing happens every time.

My computer uses windows 8 and i think that might be a problem but im not sure, ive seen people on youtube posting videos having problems with windows 7 but that was for normal BF2 not PR, i tried them anyway but they didnt seem to work

Any help would be appreciated thanks.

What version of PR are you running?

[Stickbob771]

latest update the 1.0.36 or something? i cant remember it exact

Can you try running the game in a window, and join a game..? if it crashes it should at least show some kind of error message.

[Stickbob771]

i do run it in windowed mode but it dose not display an error in windowed or full, it just says cleaning project reality, some kind of message like that that only lasts about 1-2 seconds then closes. other than that it says nothing, it just closes

Ok, I have to go to work, but here are the next troubleshooting steps to take:

1. Verify that you can run BF2 [not PR] without any issues
2. Try creating a LOCAL pr game (or co-op)

i can run a local game so i know the game works, i can run bf2 fine on singleplayer but i have the same issue with multiplayer but bf2 sometimes dosent immediately crash, it says i lost connection after a few seconds on multiplayer. when i run it on local then try to join a server i get a runtime error but only when i run it on local first.

PRLauncher has a 'system specs' collection, that you could please post on this thread,

could you please post your system specs:
1. Open PRLauncher

troubleshooting options:
1 Your BF2 CDKey is banned, broken, or non existent
2. Your firewall/antivirus/router/router's firewall is blocking the ports required for online play.
3. You have a hardware issue somewhere, i.e. old graphics card or something
4. What connection to the internet do you have? i.e. from your PC to your router to your modem to the internet?

CD Key Valid: False

Do you have a legit CDKey for BF2?
If you do, you can use the PRLAuncher->Support-Keys Tab->manually enter your Key, then click Change Key button, to fix a possible registry error.

PR requires a legit BF2 CDKey to play online.
