    Can't play PR 0.856 :(

    I just uninstalled whatever previous version of PR I had on here. I then installed a fresh DL of 0.856 (checked against torrent to verify no missing bits).

    Installation looks ok, and everything finishes cleanly. I hit [Finish] at the end, but then when all is said and done, I don't get any PR Shortcut on my desktop.

    So I launch via my PoE2 shortcut, and then try joining the PR server. It exits PoE2 and launches PR <yay>. But then it says I don't have the right map <boo>.

    So I go to the Deploy browser and even though it says I'm in pr 0.856, none of the servers are joinable

    oh... and after a bit of googling, I see I'm supposed to have a "pr.exe"? yeah, the installer didn't drop one of those either. Only thing of note is that it's not the default install path: D:\programs\EA Games\BF2\ - though the installer correctly identified that as the install path, so that may mean nothing.

    Any ideas?

    FYI. If W6 gets into PR as much as he got into POE, many of us will wear the n00b tag.

    You've been warned
