Title: Not showing up
Post by: oymbmp on July 20, 2012, 05:13:09 PM
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.

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.

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 ;)

Title: Re: Not showing up
Post by: T3RR0R15T on August 29, 2012, 03:17:25 PM
c:/games/paintball2/pball/configs/

The path "c:/games/paintball2/" can be something else, if you changed it at the installation.

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.

Post by: Rockyar_96 on August 30, 2012, 01:27:33 PM
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.

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.

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.
