Problems Installing

**11Bravo** · 07-31-07, 08:59 PM

Okay, let me give this a shot. Run the disk cleanup feature for Windows (be sure to clean out your 'temp' folders). Be sure you reboot the PC when you have accomplished that. Next would be look at your swap file size in windows, if it's set to less than 2048 MB, then you may have a problem there with it being able to preload the file into the swap file, since you only have 1 GB of RAM. Now, when you've done that, make damn sure you turn off these items; Any Anti-Virus/Firewall Programs, Anti-Spyware programs, because they run in the background and can keep you from properly installing the program. Once that is done, be sure that when you double click the file, that you extract it to a folder on your PC. If you fail to do that, it will cause major issues, since you cannot run a setup file from within a folder that hasn't been extracted to your PC yet. After all that is said and done. Restart your PC, find the folder it extracted the files too, and run the setup pr_setup file. If all this fails, then you may have a problem with windows having not released the resources for the file. Please contact me when and if this does not solve your problem.

I installed from the torrent without any problems. From your description of the problem, it sounds to me like it is running of disk space, but that shouldn't be happening if you have 33+ GB left. Do you have more than one HD volume, maybe it's trying to unpack (expand the 1.8 GB file to the 6+ GB it actually uses) on a nearly full partition?

I was going to suggest posting on the realitymod.com support forum, but I found your thread already there. If Bravo's suggestions doesn't fix it, MrD's advice is worth following. The installer may be trying to verify or check your BF2 install and running into a problem. I know reinstalling BF2 is a pain, but it might be worth it. Just make sure to delete the video caches in your \Documents and Settings\Your user name\My Documents\Battlefield 2\Profiles. Having multiple caches can also cause problems (every time you change your resolution/settings/drivers it creates a new one).

[edit for typo]

Well the caches good be it if what you are saying is true because like the hour before I tried to install it for the first time I had updated my video driver and changed some of my video settings.

ModJive, clearing the video cache thing, and with the advice to shutdown all the security programs running did the trick. Thanks for all the replys and the helps everyone. Can't wait to see you on there

Roger, glad to help. More likely it was the security programs that Bravo mentioned, but cleaning out the video caches should help the game run smoother.

Be sure to read the play guides for PR 0.6, it's a whole new ball game to learn.

hey there , did anybody patch it... 1.41 patch on the bf2 series and then the PR download...

**11Bravo** · 08-01-07, 01:44 PM

I am the man again {

:4 :10 }. Another one solved. Glad to hear it man. The problem with all of those AV/Firewall things is they interfere with the caching of the files to the HDD before the program can actually load. You aren't the first i've been able to help and you probably wont be the last. Glad to be of service. Hell, i think Asianator accused me of being smarter than the HP Techs

Damn fucking straight. The HP technical support people can help you (if you get a person who you can understand or doesn't try to have you repeat the same steps that you took on the last damn call), but it takes some time. Bravo, on the other hand, is my own technical support and has been very helpful in the past helping me get rid of viruses, adware, bugs in my sound, and all kinds of other shit.
