games crashes when using launcher

[bazvink]

Hi,

Installed the game today on my Win7. Had some issues with read-only profile directory, but I think that's solved. Launcher runs fine, I can start the game from there but after the intro movie has played, the game will crash to desktop. Unfortunately, I've tried 3 times and only once did it actually write anything in the prlauncher.log, and that was just "error while running game" a couple of times.

however: one thing I've noticed is that if I run the game "standalone", i.e. I go to the program files/project reality directory and run the PRBF2.exe file, the game RUNS FINE, but offcourse it complains about not being able to detect the launcher and profiles so it's pretty useless.

So... anyone have any ideas? Maybe a tip to get some more logging/error messages?

Hello.
Could you post the contents of PRLauncher.log in the PR Folder/mods/pr/bin folder and system specs from the launcher's support page?

as mentioned, the prlauncher.log didn't get created in the last two attempts, so I don't have one, but I will give it another shot right now.

Sorry... .log was again not created. Unfortunately I don't have an old one becuase I noticed it wasn't getting updated between attempts, so I deleted it in the hope that a new one would be created. Which means I don't have a .log at all

EDIT: FYI, I've tried with both an online and offline account, same results.

Anti virus? Run as admin?
Firewall? Could something be blocking loopback?

[bazvink]

I’ve given up. Inthink the problem is my profiles directory. It keeps resetting to read-only because it’s linked to a corporate cloud location. If iI’m not on VON the profile dir whines and of I switch to VPN then the game crashes most likely due to corp firewall issues.

I’ll try on another computer
