Difficulties Downloading, Installing, and running PR:BF2
Posted: 2020-08-08 16:37
Good Afternoon,
I have had significant issues installing the mod despite multiple attempts. I'll try and lay everything out as best I can below. Please be warned, in regards to technical language i'm a bit of a lay man.
Currently Project Reality is installed in a read-only folder on my C drive (SSD), I have given it permissions in the firewall and whitelisted it, and yet when I run I receive the message 'Error, Access is denied'. When I run as administrator the game simply freezes on start up.
My directory path is: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Project Reality\Project Reality BF2\mods\pr\bin\PRLauncherLogin.exe" "%1"
Regarding the error, this is what the log has to say:
""
I'm operating on Windows 7 (64 bit(, 16 gig ram, GTX 660 Nvidia graphics card, and am using Malwarebytes and Windows' own antivirus.
Also, during my attempts to reinstall, I tried Project Reality's Download assistant but it would freeze and fade to white at around 33%, despite me saying yes to a pop up which happened every time in regards to permissions. I also noticed that when using it, there were multiple instances in my task manager, and have a list of about 20 different "PR:BF2" download managers in the permissions lists. This is by no means a complaint, merely an observation. I love the mod, and very much look forward to running it again when possible.
I hope this ticket has been filled out ok, I will promptly answer questions and requests regarding more information to the best of my ability.
Best regards and thank you,
Wiseman738.
PS: I ran a search looking for similar issues and applied fixes (such as whitelisting the program) which I thought might work but nothing has availed me of this issue so far.
