I Just bought Battlefield Bad company 2. Downloaded beta and i wanted to play a game. It does nothing it says connecten lost. or cant find connection but i am connected to internet.

Is this a common problem. How can i fix this?

If you are using Windows 7 make sure you go to the BFBC2 folder and run the bfupdater.exe in Administrator mode. That fixed it for me

If you are looking for a new BC2 clan & you live on the west coast, you can apply for my clan @ vagrantclan.com then click "join vagrant". We have our server already bought and will be hosted in Seattle so we our trying to get as many people to join us on vent. We are focused on being a gaming community rather than a competetive clan so if this sounds good to you we will be happy to have you around, mind you we are 18+ only.

Alright i understand this but i dont know how to go in safety mode to run as administrator. I Got a new computer since one month and never used safety modus.

But i only got 1 account on windows 7 and i think i am the administrator.

When i see my bootscreen wich button do i need to press. Cause i see F10 System recovery F1 Boot Menu and ESCAPE. But none of these getting me to use safety modus.

Just go to the file he talked about and right click on it. From the menu select Run as Administrator. No need to go into safe mode.

No no. Go to your desktop like normal. Open up My computer and browse to your bf beta folder and right click on the icon and click on Run as Administrator

Awesome video on the last page. I love watching a good frag video, and having Nine Inch Nails is definitely a plus in my books :).

I finally got around to playing the beta (PC) today, and good God did I play badly. This is my first Battlefield game since 2142 (I missed out on the first Bad Company entirely) and the years I spent playing DoD, CoD, and TF2 definitely dulled my senses somewhat. I'm slowly getting better, though. I'm playing as a medic quite a bit, since that LMG is really easy to rack up kills with, lol. I'm just making sure that I don't resuscitate people at bad times, as per the comments made a few pages back :).

I was pretty happy to see people working together, though. Seeing a group of infantry move as a unit towards one of the objectives was definitely satisfying. After playing CoD4 and MW2 for so long, I was beginning to forget that such a thing was possible on public servers :).

Ratio is a bit lower, but I've done better that that 2k :D

I posted this already. Doesn't show up anymore though, so I'm posting it again. Combat score isn't all that but the ratio is WIN.

But still. Achieving high k/d ratio is much easier than get a higher combat score.

Especially with a vehicle. Got this without even trying :D :

    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it

      By WaltC · Posted

      AI will never be the jobs panacea some companies fantasize about today. Oracle is likely using it as an excuse, which we will see a lot of companies doing, I'm certain. They love their "plausible" excuses for their downturns. A couple of weeks ago my wife asked me to call Krogers about some discrepancy in a online grocery order, and it will be the last time either of us does that. I'll just do emails with humans from now on... The AI experience was horrible--the obviously recorded voice started asking a bunch of questions about our orders six months prior(!) and saying, "Is this in reference to your order on January 6, for $****?" You say "No!" and immediately the next question is "Is this in reference to your order on January 29th, for $****?" again, I answered "No!"--and it was incredible--on and on it went like that for fully 20 minutes until we finally got to the present, and only then was I put through to a human with authentic intelligence... I wondered why on Earth the idiot AI didn't start with the most recent orders and work back from there, as it was something anyone with a functioning brain would have done. And why didn't the AI have enough sense to ask me what the problem was in the first place? It didn't take too much deduction to understand that the goal of this "AI" was to cause the person on the phone to hang up in disgust, with no resolution of the problem. That begs another question: why pay for a tool-free problem line if the goal is to avoid solving your customer's problems?... Fortunately, Krogers does have real humans capable of reading an email and understanding it, and if she sees another situation in the future that's route she or I will take. The online grocery delivery service from Krogers has been great, over all, but their AI truly sucks.

      AI is the justification that company administrators use to lay people off; it is not the end all, be all touted in the media (many of whom can't tell a microchip from a potato chip). Greed is main driving factor behind its adoption; the other is remaining relevant in the face of competition from other entities.

    • Firefox 152.0.2 is out with fixes for performance, translation, and cloud storage services

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Firefox 152.0.2 is out with fixes for performance, translation, and cloud storage services by Taras Buria A new bug-fixing update is now rolling out to Firefox users in the Release Channel. Less than a week ago, Mozilla fixed crashes on Intel Raptor Lake processors with version 152.0.1. Now, Mozilla has prepared yet another set of fixes that address problems with localization, playback issues of certain MP4 files, and performance issues on website that perform various encryption operations at once. Here is the full changelog: Firefox 152.0.2 is now available for download from Mozilla's FTP. Existing installations will get the update over the next several hours. The latest version will also be available soon on the official website, the Microsoft Store, and Neowin's Software page. You can find Firefox 152.0.2 release notes in the official documentation. In case you missed it, Mozilla released Firefox 152 earlier this month. The latest feature update brought reworked settings with a more streamlined user interface, JPEG XL support, new features for Private mode, a new way to mute a tab (just type "mute" in the address bar), and many more. You can find the complete changelog here. In other Firefox news, Mozilla recently published its roadmap, where the company detailed the upcoming Nova redesign and other features it plans to implement. Mozilla wants to make the new user interface easier to navigate and more modern, with a heavy focus on its privacy tools, such as its built-in VPN. If you are curious, you can already enable the new UI as described here.
