New version not working crashes shortly after start up

[SMercier]

Hello, I ran into a problem play PR BF2 , a few days ago my project reality worked perfectly fine then 3 days ago I was playing on a co op server and i lost connection to the server and everytime id try rejoining it would let me play for about 30 minutes then id lose connection again . I eventually got tired of it and closed the game but now everytime i try playing the game the game will launch to a black screen for a few seconds then it will crash to the desktop with no error messages or anything . I was wondering if anyone knows a fix as i enjoy this game even though its old and would like to continue playing it as long as there active servers however ive tried reinstalling the game multiple times and havent gotten anywhere as it keeps doing the same thing . I thought it was cause of windows 10 but i have been playing it on windows 10 all along and havent had an issue with it up until now .

Any possible fixes would be greatly appreciated ive reinstalled the game multiple times already and even tried running it in windows 8,7,xp and vista

i don't understand, have you reinstalled the game several times on windows 10, or reinstalled the game AND reinstalled different versions of windows? you need to download and install the prereqs every time you reinstall windows. black screen sounds like you don't have direct x install

please review

Ive reinstalled the game multiple times and i should have direct x considering more then 1 game i play uses it but i can try reinstalling direct x to see if that will work ... Pretty much after i press play on the launcher and log into my online account it will show a black screen like the game is going to begin loading then it will switch to my desktop for a second as if the game minimized really quick and then it goes back to a black screen which then eventually just closes it self out complete and goes back to my desktop with no error messages of any kind or even the box saying program is not responding.

run in windowed mode (this can be done in launcher settings)

you should get an error

please post your specs as well from launcher>support

I am having the same exact problem but i have windows 7, i most definitely am up to date in everything and here is the error: C:\dice\Projects\BF2Branches\Patch_1_50\Code\BF2\RendDX9\VideoOptions.cpp

I know what's causing the problem. Remember the previous fix was to disable all antivirus? Well, Win10 comes with Windows Defender. Even adding the whole PR folder as an exception it still doesn't let it run. I downloaded a third party app to disable Windows Defender and can now play properly.

Edit: Worked twice before it started crashing again.

I think it has something to do with video settings. There was a similar thread about PR changing Video.con while running the game which leads it to crashing the launcher, thus the game. However, it was fixed in 1.3.6.

Now, I noticed that whenever I create a new profile (or deleting then retrieving old profile) it doesn't crash. The moment you change video settings it will forever CTD until you reset, delete then retrieve said profile.

check my post history, there are countless threads about that error. if you don't find a solution, make a new THREAD with your specs posted (launcher>support)

what error are you getting?

No error DC, just crashing. My game's already fixed though. I just kept doing what I did in my post. After awhile it let me change the settings.
