CRASH AFTER 5 MIN ONLINE PVP

[Sexy_SnipeR]

Hello fellow dev, i don't know whats wrong with the game. i was able to play nicely until the last update.3 month i did play pr .i was hoping for a fixed.i try my best to get dump files but no dump was left after the game close itself(i don't think its a crash ). The game work fine in single player as i get on pvp after 5 to 6 min the game close itself.
i managed to get a log but am not sure its useful.

The error messages pretty much says it all. For online play PRlauncher requires a permanent connection to the master server. If that connection drops, the launcher drops you out of the game. Possible solutions is to whitelist PR or disable your AV or firewall.

This is actually not the connection to the remote master server, but to the local one we use to connect to pr:bf2.
Solution is the same tho: Make sure loopback is not blocked by AV or firewall and make sure to run PR as admin.

i run that launcher as admin , i think so dose the game. i will try to add rules on firewall and report back

Yea it might be our side, but I did not hear of anyone else having this problem. If anyone does, please let us know as the more information we can get the faster we can fix this.
That being said, I cannot give you some "fixed" file and it will work. Once we figure out the cause we need to make a new patch with the fix. If we did not find the problem until the weekend, would you have time to meet in some instant messenger to do some more live debugging? I know that timezones will make that one quite difficult tho.

Thats not even remotely the same error. That error also should not get raised 5min into the game but 5sec after entering the main menu.

[Mats391]

I changed the way it handles errors here now. It will log the error and just continue. However this is a crucial part and PRBF2.exe relies on it. If this fails, you might still crash while in main menu, but should not cause issues while playing.

What would be the solution for this error then?
I run Win10 64 bit

This error happens when the Launcher fails to link to the game process. So first step would be to make sure the Launcher can do that. For that make sure to run the Launcher as admin and maybe temporarily disable any anti virus as those might interfere.
If all that fails, we need to analyze the memory of the game process to see why it cant find what the Launcher is searching for. To do that we would need a memory dump. Easiest way to do that would be to start PR in windowed mode (assuming it also does not work in windowed) and then make a memory dump through task manager the moment the menu loaded. You have to be quick as shortly after the game will be closed.
