Project Reality just got permission from E.A. to design a "no cd" version of Battlefiled 2 bundled with their Total Conversion Project Reality 1.3 Full.  This is an awesome because you no longer need a copy of Battlefield 2!

Naturally I'm going to try it out in PlayOnLinux

Specs:
Mint 17 64-bit
GeForce 550 Ti
Nvidia 331
PlayOnLinux 4.2.8
Wine:  1.7.45 & 1.7.45staging

Bundled with the ISO is a folder:  Dependencies
It includes DirectX and DOT Net Framework 4.0

So when I did the installation I included these libraries:

• corefonts
• d3dx9
• dotnet45
• tahoma

For some reason installing dotnet45 resets Windows version to Windows Server 2003... I had to set it back to Windows 7.

Project Reality installs just fine, but once I launch it via "PRLauncher" the only thing that appears is the logo
No buttons, no text, nothing to click on

I CAN launch the PRBF2.exe which will run the game without the launcher, but they have coded a warning "You must use the Project Reality:  BF2 Launcher in order to play this modification"

Basically, they are forcing us to use the Launcher.  They have modified it so you can create online accounts and offline accounts.

After trying a few other versions of Wine and Windows I have seen some msvc100 errors so I tried installing vcrun2005 and vcrun2012... still no go.

I also noticed a bunch of dwrite errors as well.  So I tried that -no-dwrite when launching Steam... but no good.

I've tried all combinations of components. Nada.

 

Anyone?

Glad there is someone else trying Project Reality in Linux as well.
Really sucks because I know the game will run perfectly if the Launcher worked.

There is no way to bypass the Launcher as far as I know.  Maybe if the game was loaded first in Windows and migrate the profile to Linux?

Ok I was able to see the login screen, but all the fonts are missing, so it was difficult to see what is going on.

Here are the dwrite errors:

HI

I tried to run PR  too andI got that problem as well, My question now is:

any idea of what is that launcher made of??

then star from that.

Its hard to tell but I have a feeling it requires DotNet 45
I tried installing it and the launcher does appear but no text at all.  Just empty buttons.  then I can tell there are errors popping up but can't read them.

I may have to dig more into the forums to see if others are having related problems in Windows

There is a post on the PR forum for version 1.3 and they mention installing:

1. DirectX 9
2. Dot Net Framework
3. Visual C++

But of course the don't mention which versions of dotnet and vcrun to install.  Maybe I'll try installing all of them?

This post mentions Dot Net 4.5 and 4.5.1:  PR Forums

Hi, I am new to this forums. Anyupdate from anyone how to solve these problems to play this awesome game?.

I am trying as well to run the previous versions of PR (went up to PR 0,97), but I am completely lost. I have a 64bit (and I am not able to install net 3.5 framework in a 32 bit environment). I am also quite new to linux and playonlinux. Can anyone tell me if it is possible to install and play this mod in BF2?

I am able to install and play Bf2 and mods such as AIX, PoE,...the normal ones, but not PR.

Thanks

Welcome!

I am having other problems with the launcher.  I can install dotnet35, dotnet 40 and dotnet45 but the launcher still won't work.  I've seen someone on Youtube who got the launcher to work but then the game its-self won't launch.

I would recommend the newest Project Reality because its a stand-alone ISO installation.  Meaning you don't need Battlefield 2 installed anymore, but its not working yet.

Let me know if you find any more info...

I guess you must be Gamers on Linux. I will keep on searching updates in the PR forums for any news on this.

Yes, I post all the guides on the GamersOnLinux website.

I love it when free games run on Linux, so I really wanted Project Reality to run as well...
I've been playing Battlefield 2 for years, since its release. Naturally I tested it in PlayOnLinux and it ran really well, except for some flickering ground textures.

But all the mods required a full installation of Battlefield 2.  This is the first totall conversion that does not require Battlefield 2 installed.

They just got confirmation from EA on doing stand alone.

Maybe that also entailed that it couldn't be use in for example playonlinux as well? Either way, I think that punkbuster is the big problem here.

We could try and ask the creators and get them engaged like for example the creators from Perfect World.

I've read many Linux posts on their forums and they make it clear that they don't support Linux.
So our only hope is Wine updates

Either way, I think that punkbuster is the big problem here.

Quote from Spy

I doubt PB is the problem because clients don't even need to have it installed to play PRBF2. You may test this on your Windows machine. Even if it were a PB problem, there are ways to get it working as proven when people played BF2 through wine.

Any updates on this? I would like to know. Now that Project Reality 1.3.7 is up.

Ooo, and Update

I'll have to download it and try it out.

1.3.7 is not available on their website yet...

Has anyone tried Project Reality with Wine 1.8 yet?

I Installed PR and it worked last week, Sadly It had strange string at bottom left and i tried to fix it by reinstall. And it doesnt work anymore. I dont know how and why i made it work. As i remember i did:

- install dot net 4.0 (YOU SHOULDN'T USE DOTNET 4.5. IT MAKES LAUNCHER CRASHING)

- make a wineprefix 32 bit

- install gnome-keyring lib

- copied debug log and tried to fix bugs

As the Devs said strange string was Mumber and it didn't work on Linux

I am trying to install PR again and i need installing p11-kit:i386 lib but i can not 'cause i am using x64 linux. Every time I tried to install p11-kit:i386 my gnome was removed.

sry about my English. I hope some one can install PR and makes a tut
