[EDIT: i am posting this here becasue i believe that i will get more attention hre than in the PR sub-forum]

im getting pissed that im not getting any help with this on the pr forums:

here is the full extent of my problem:

what i posted on the pr forums wrote:

hey guys
i just got 0.8 today but it seems something has gone badly wrong
and i need your help

i first installed it not knowing that i put it in the wrong place,
so i uninstalled and did it over again. When i finally got it to the main men, the screen blacks out for a few seconds.
i went to training mode but i didnt have any maps listed which i thought was odd. I tried to get into thors brigade server but the screen then messed up in a greyish colour. During this the screen blacked out for a few seconds so i Alt-F4ed out. i tried again but it didnt work, i tried bf2 but it didnt work.

I have encountered this crash numerous times while playing older versions of PR and bf2 but it was very rare. When it CTDs it screws with the scrolling system on broswers, general programs and it also stops me from starting anything game related like bf2 or steam. A full system restart fixes this.

After the restart i tried PR again. But as i got to the main menu it blacks out again. I go to the training section but there still isnt any maps
i tried thors brigade again and get the loading screen to work. after about 30 seconds the screen blacks out again then the pr tags come up spinning. This is the main symptom of the crash, everything runs normal in the background while the screen is blacked out.

what i plan to do next:

rename the pr shortcut to 'pr.exe' as opposed to 'pr'
as shown here:

this will probably do nothing


i also believe that my GPU driver is out of date (steam says so), so i will have to get my dad to update it (his comp) but i have had
no problems playing bf2

if none of these work i will have to go for a full reinstall of bf2 and pr

have i missed anything?

You can't 'execute' a shortcut by tagging it with '.exe'. Edit the properties of the shortcut and redirect it to the correct folder.

Add +restart to the end of the shortcuts target line. And make sure you have also the levels file installed.
