Hello, after the latest patch (being released this weekend, i believe) the game keeps closing each time i start it, before i even see the main menu screen (after i see the short video with PR logo though), there is no bug or crash report, nothing, the only thing that pops up is the very well-known window "PRBF2 has closed, cleaning resources".
I've tried reinstalling and redownloading the game several times, as well as wiping profile files in the documents folder, nothing helped.
Here's the Support info from the launcher, if that may help.

Run as windowed and you might get an error message.

Indeed. This popped up:

Why would you have a "localhost" entry in your hosts file on windows 7?!

Funny shit, my hosts file was completely empty, apart from a line "127.0.0.1 localhost". I followed the steps to reset the file and it worked, game is working again. Thank you!
PS I have no idea what happened, i did nothing with the file. I played PR before and it was just fine, then after the patch (1.5.3 i believe) it just refused to work

Thanks!

This is iirelevant, make a new thread.

@TheSunGod

We changed some stuff.
In short, this is a fake error message from BF2. It crashes the game because it thinks you might be changing the master-server address through the hosts file.
I did really rough hack around the check in assembly, only made it stop after checking the first line. Didn't put extra time in it because we didn't think there would be a need, assembly of compiled software is not something that is designed for humans to edit.

There really wasn't a need for a proper fix unless something messed with your file improperly - you don't need a localhost entry in Windows 7 and above. We're surprised so many people actually have that issue.

Try playing with saved password. I guess I did not really fix it last patch

@AlonTavor
So i guess its an error that you guys will not try to fix then? Doesnt seem like there's a need for that as repairing this on your own by any of the players is not really an issue.
That would be kinda helpful though, otherwise you will have to respond to maaaany more threads like this one

Anyway, thank you for your help, guess you can close the thread now

Posted: **2018-02-28 08:18**

Will probably fix it next, its just like 30 minutes of really boring mindless work.

Assembly is cancer.

That's why i'll never try to be a software developer xd
