PRLauncher doesn't start

[Guttler]

I know, I'm not the first one with this problem.
I downloaded standalone .iso. Install PR. When I trying launch PRlauncher... nothing happend. Task Manager show me "PRLauncher" process for a few seconds, and after that it's just disappear. When I'm launching BFPR.exe, it starting, but there is a popup message: "can't interact with PRLauncher", and a message "You need to launch the game with PRLauncher" and only exit-button is available.
I reinstall PR, I cleaned registry, I try launch as administrator, I try set compatibility with XP, with Vista and even with Windows 2008 - still nothing.

My system:
Intel Core2Duo 2,7 GHz.
Radeon HD 3800 1Gb.
3 Gb RAM DDR2.
HDD Hard Drive.
Windows 7 Professional.
(clean BF-2 work on maximum settings without any problems)

Can anyone help me with this?

Go to documents/Project Reality/profiles/default/video open with notepad and copy paste here please.

Here is default folder



Default/video - please note resolution and refresh rate setting



Nvidia system resolution being the same - Please note BF2/PR will only work on 60 or 75Hz 59 or 45 will crash.



Lastly on W10 files properties parent musy be set as read only - I don't have a W7 to compare.

Done.
In file "video" I have this:

Code: Select all

VideoSettings.setTerrainQuality 2
VideoSettings.setGeometryQuality 2
VideoSettings.setLightingQuality 2
VideoSettings.setDynamicLightingQuality 2
VideoSettings.setDynamicShadowsQuality 2
VideoSettings.setEffectsQuality 2
VideoSettings.setTextureQuality 2
VideoSettings.setTextureFilteringQuality 2
VideoSettings.setResolution 800x600@60Hz
VideoSettings.setAntialiasing Off
VideoSettings.setViewDistanceScale 2
VideoSettings.setVideoOptionScheme 2

Radeon videocard it's not NVidia, but system resolution is 1280x1024. I tried set this resolution in file "video" - it's doesn't help.
Folder "documents/Project Reality" set to read-only. Nothing happend, PRLauncher still don't start.

Also: yes, I turn off my antivirus before installation, and now it's off too.

SOLVED!
Delete NET Framework, then install it again with online-installer - nothing happened.
Delete NET Framework, then install it again with offline-installer - and it's work! Woodoo magic

Well done and thanks for letting us know the cure so we know for next time.

Incase of problems it is always good to check .Net directX9 and C++ are installed but you already had - strange.

Surely PR only needs DirectX 9, 10 or 11 will not be used but I wonder would their installation cause problems but I guess most gaming PCs have DX10?

I guess most gaming PCs have DX10?

No idea, my PC really old, only DX9 is supported.
