WarGhost

I tryed that yesterday but did not connected, so i assumed server was down.

Thank you Acro1, will install Discord, that's a good idea. That's a good question, if i'm not mistaking, sometimes i does restart, sometimes not, yesterday it did restarted after crash when it was offline for hours before that, so the question remains, Why ?

I tryed on teamspeak but it was not head admins at that time. Is there a way to contact head admins so they get intantly informed, even if they are not on teamspeak ?

Today its down since hours

That is the game that inspired me to choose a name WarGhost. Now we are having ghosts on PR LoooL.

Thank you "Binary"; Hmm, i should try that, did'nt know dll can contain an icone. For now, i'm back to win8.1 cz i had some other troubles (sound trouble and game exit when loading next map sometimes), but i'll give it a try tomorrow, i can restore win10 in 10 minutes, i have a backup. Once again thank you.

Yes they did and one realy bad point for windows is that they have added "Compatibility" think for old versions of programs that is not working at all, to me they should just remove it cz it's totaly useless. And yes win10 is a shit, a butifull shit, you can feel it's faster, more attractive, maybe more secured (not quiet sure on this one), but i agree it's a shit on a sense of PR is also quitting when it's loading next map (not all the time), this happends only on win10, soooo, i'm thinkin to go back to win8, no problems at all there, in the other hand, all other programs are running just fine, hard to make a decision. Let's take the first "farcry" game as an exemple: The first version was working fine on winXP and 7 but not on win8 or 10, then they released an update and the game is now working fine in all Windows versions. And the answer is people are upgrading their OS and i think PR DEVs should add a touch about this. PR BF2 1.6 is on its way to us, hope they did something about it. No man, it's not speculation it's a fact, you are absolutly right, my final point is that i love to keep Win10, i like it but the issues with PR are so disturbing, see? i'm also addicted to the game.

I'm not using start menu to run the game, i was doing it just for testing for this post. I will look at "How to make Windows 10 look and act more like Windows 7" later. I wont blame windows 10 on this issue cz all other programs even old ones are doing it right, except PR, according to this, my personal thought is that PR exe file needs to be improuved somehow. I mean everything else is working just fine on windows10 to me. For testing something very old, i just pined Wolfenstein 3D shortcut and it did it just fine (that game has been released at 2001). Thank you.

Well, i have good news for you: - Open "PRLauncher.exe" folder. - Pin "PRLauncher.exe" file to start menu. - Open start menu and right clic on PRLauncher shortcut (It has no icone for now and it's almost at same color of the start menu background). - Clic on "More" and clic on "Open file location", you will be directed to a shortcut location that windows has created for start menu. - Open that shortcut properties and add PRLauncher folder location whitch is empty when created by windows (For you it's "P:\Project Reality BF2\mods\pr\bin") - Last but not least, well ........... Enjoy All this was tested and worked.

I hope i'm not missunderstanding, so when you put a shortcut for a non-default C drive program (but running on C) it does not work. Based on that try this: Make a shortcut on desktop and before pin it into start menu open it's properties and check the "Run at" or "Start at" field below the exe file name (Target), add/modify the path if missing or wrong, then you can pin it. Also setting "Run as administrator" can help since it's on C drive it need some elevation. Edit the game folder properties and open security tab and give full acces to your username, when prompted, check "All folders and subfolders". (bed time, its late here, see you tomorrow).

You showed me a glimpse of what i should do to fix it and this leads me to create another exe file used only to take the icone from, thank you. I copied "PRLauncher.exe" to "PRLauncher2.exe", then i open the shortcut properties and change icon of it by selecting "PRLauncher2.exe" file and voila Let's wait couple of days and see if the icone will stay, then we can enjoy a good drink.

Thank you guys for the reply. =VG= m823us , if this does not disturb the game then i can deal with it and take my time to figure out how to fix it later, finding where the icone is, hmmm kind a hard thing but i'll give it a try. Or maybe i can try to find whitch part of Windows have this behaviour and just disable it if possible, i'm thinking about some security stuff, don't realy know! will see. =VG= SemlerPDX, Yes now you can put a shortcut on desktop when using Windows10. Will let you know when/if i found a solution for this. Take care, thanks.

Hey I'm dealing with a missing icone on a PRLauncher shortcut on the desktop: - This is happening only with Windows10. - My game is installed on E drive. - Can not fix it in shortcut properties (icone change). - First couple days after Windows10 install the icone was good. - If i go back to windows 8.1 and create a desktop shortcut from file "E:\Project Reality BF2\mods\pr\bin\PRLauncher.exe" all is good and never happend again. - New Windows10 installation will fix it for couple of days then the issue is back. - Doing a copy of PRLauncher.exe file into "bin" folder will instantly remove the icone even from exe file. - A copy of PRLauncher.exe (Kind of backup of it i made) when outside "bin" folder shows it's icone. Seems like this is happening only when the file is inside the "bin" folder. - If i move PRLauncher.exe outside "bin" folder, the icone is back. - The game might crash at any time (Feez) when icone is lost (Already happend) with no error dll thing message from PR (This crash is caused by something else, not the usual one from the game itself). - Avast antivirus free version is up to date, tryed with kaspersky internet security but same happend. - My PC specs: Mobo:MSI X79A-GD65 (8D), CPU:I7 3820 3.6Ghz LGA2011, RAM: 16Gb (4x4Gb) running on quad channel at 1866 Mhz, Vid: Nvidia GTX660Ti, Hard Drvs: 1 SSD 120 Gb (System installed on) 1 HDD 1TB, 1HDD 500GB, OS:Windows10 x64 1903, All drivers and Windows are up to date. To conclule all this: PELauncher.exe file is being changed somehow but only when using Windows10 and only inside "bin" folder. Any help would be nice. Thank you. Here is a picture showing what i'm dealing with (Follow yellow arrows):

Some infos could be usefull: More than a month ago, i was testing this in empty coop servers (including empty coop VG server) and the result was that only VG coop server was crashing when air asset goes out of south side of the map. Number of servers tested (including VG one): 6 It would be nice to fix this, thank you TempAssistant.

Could it be some sound effect trigger in the map ? Hmmm.

i did not know PR have problems with that, i have played and seen code of old game where community have added antilag routine in server side, they used behaviour extrapolation for few milliseconds (player move, last pressed key, bullets trajectory and so on) to predict and prevent players from laging when they have small lags (When laging time is less than extrapolation time). The game was Wolfenstein 3D multiplayer.

This game behaviour let you think that it has no clearing procedure at all: - If your choper get hit by bmp it shakes before it explode, when you respawn, you wait for the same choper to spawn, get into it, it shakes for a second and only after that the game handle it like a new choper. - When you lose connetion and come back to the server, you can not join any squad unless you spawn, does it think you just died ? Does it even know you left server ? Even your score still there (This part is welcome). (*) - When loading next map it shows the right map but teams flags are from previous map. - I have seen a tank firing without sound, not even bullets traces or hits, you just press fire and wait till you see enemy down, this was in muttrah infantry. I think entities are not properly/completly restarted/cleared after death, wherever the meaning of death is destruction/kill or endround. Players, hand weapons and constructions entities look well handled (Exept for point (*) ) but the others (Assets, flags) needs to be improuved. Cashing system needs to be improuved as well, some of them (specificly map flags "flags") need to be cleared after each endround, some others are good to stay (shaders "flags"). I'm looking forware to see the next version of PR BF2 running.

H8CrazyVet67 You still and you will always be in our hearts

Awesome, thank you so much =VG= SemlerPDX Thank you all of you guys for being a part of this.

Its up to admins.

It has been a year since we've lost a great man H8CrazyVet67 aka VincentJames who's real name is Scott Lalumondier at June 22, 2018, a great man whitch we all we are missing. In his memory, i'll be using his game name as a part of mine for 3 days from today, june 21, 2019: "CrzVet WarGhost", (tag is the only thing i could change and have limited chars and changing full name requires make a new account). In VG PR coop server: I also wish if we could make a video where we all drop our kits on the USS ship (muttrah map), be perfectly alligned and give him a salut for a minute, maybe admins can find a good time when maximum players are joining server for tomorrow (I believe 6 pm GMT is good). For me, it is a way to say: I did not forget you. Any followers ?

Is there any way to get back to the old days when all maps were not broken ?

I missed karbala

I wonder if you guys would use xx.tkPunishxxxxxxx on server.

Good to hear that binary
