online registration fail

Post by PRbear »

Hi, i had a couple of issues after i had registered PR.
After entering game name and email-address etc. i could still not connect to online play, only SP was possible (online grayed out).
I visited discord, but was just told over and over, taht i should make an online account, the fact that i had filled out the form with eMail etc, diddent really 'take'
I decided to reset the account(s)
Except for deleting all entered key-options :| -that did not change anything, at least not to the better, because after, i could only open SP in windowed mode, and all controls are skewed..

I may have started out wrong..
I asked on discord, if PR could be installed on any disk, and the answer was 'yes'.
Therefore i installed on a HD not on my SSD with the OS win10. ( My BF is on SSD, because of the BFEditor, and all mapping dependencies, but i optioned out of having the standalone PR, on the SSD )
Is that installation the reason for the issues?
After the account reset, i also lost textures in SP maps..
All and all it is one messy soup..
Any brilliant ideas :) ?

You mean you had the invisible ground but all objects are visible?

Here the trick to solve it without reinstalling anything.

Change your screen resolution in Windows to what you want and than back to the ones you like.
Solved.

This bug is caused by Windows and not by PR.

Edit:
As i saw your post the first time - i didnt saw the picture.
This can be fixed by my upper comment.

It can happen when you re-zip a map like making changes in the GPO via Notepad and test the map again.
Happens to me 3 times.

Alt-Tabbing can also cause it sometimes. I dont know why.
