Same as the guy who posted the screeny below. Restarted comp, didn't work. Ended process, re-installed, everything. Still will only come up with the icon on the taskbar.
Any ideas? :/
EDIT: If it means anything, when I try to open it, I hear the sounds of it opening, and my mouse goes to the top left corner of my screen, which can't be moved unless I click. Hell, I can even cycle through options normally with arrow keys and enter, just can't see a darn thing.
-
reinstall the game in another partition
that helped me, i had the same problem

Where is screen below lolz. Seems like you don't know how forum thing works.
You can try to reinstall, AND IT MEANS DELETE FIRST. If won't help try posting some more useful informations.

Too smart to delete config? Blah...
-
oh my god!! sorry payl for insulting your intelligence
-
i have the same problem as the first guy and i reinstalled it 3 times and nothing worked.
-
had the same problem.
Fortunately i had a second copy of pb2 on my PC, so i tried different things.
And payl is 100% right. It is the config u have to delete. When u run pb2 again, it will be reseted to the values of the default configuration file ;)
-
i deleted the whole game 3 times and it still didnt work. and wherre can i finr the configuration file?. im kind of new to this stuff.
-
it's in pball/config/config.cfg ;)
-
ok thanks :D
-
and where do i find the config???
-
c:/games/paintball2/pball/configs/
The path "c:/games/paintball2/" can be something else, if you changed it at the installation.
-
so i have to reinstall again? i just deleted it, idk, i think im done with this game...like theres no more good mtach servers.
and if i do reinstall i have to do that "c:/games/paintball2/" ?

No, you don't need to reinstall it. The game creates a new config file if you start it again. The path is only the default path. You don't need to use it, if you not want to.
-
ok
-
and would it help me if i download a different build, say like 32 or something?
-
Try it, but i would say no.
-
what is the problem of just renaming/deleting the config.cfg file???
Maybe this should be put into the FAQ, it seems as if many people had this problem.
-
no it didnt work downloading a different build
and yea it should be in the FAQ
idk what to do its so annoying im just gunna quit on this game
-
Klann24 download this build 36 and see if it happens again.

So you've deleted the config file (not just uninstalled), and it still won't open up? What version of Windows are you running? If it's Vista/7, you might be able to hover over the icon in the task bar, and when the little popup thing appears, right click on it and go to restore or maximize. That fixed a similar issue with Firefox for me, but I haven't had it happen on any other applications.
-
i just uninstalled it idk how to find the config, and i have windows 7 and when i clicked on the PB2 icon my mouse got stuck in the top right corner and i couldnt move it...
-
Right click the icon and go to run as administrator. If it goes to the corner again press the key with this on it : ~ , then you should be able to move your mouse. On the taskbar down the bottom spam click the paintball 2 icon on it about 10 times.
If its then working go to paintball 2 servers not quake 2 servers because when it happened to me i went to a quake 2 server first only for it to start the same thing over again. Go to about 3-4 paintball2 servers first before going to a quake 2 one.
To jitspoe i think that one of the configs with the quake2 servers interfeared with the pball>config and screwed with the display and stuff. When you enter a quake 2 server.
go to next post i made.

ok thx froggy

Two screenshots:
1st one: is entering a quake 2 server. In this case clipz q2jump.
2nd one: exiting and entering a paintball 2 sever. In this case syncmasters cable.
