Has anybody actually gotten the M1 Garand?

Yes, on both the 360 and the PC. What I believe is happening on the PC version is a lot of servers have disabled the Veterans upgrades somehow.

I do believe this will be the last time we see problems. But im keeping faith. So far DICE has worked EA hard. BTW, did you see the numbers

The 4 different soldier types have gathered a score of more than 34 Billion.

There's been more than 400M kills made.

1.3M roadkills

Squads and Teams have assisted each other to 6.2 Billion points.

Yeah, just read the blog entry. Hopefully, whatever they do fixes it for good because the taking down of servers is a bit annoying. I will admit, though, haven't had the kind of problems on 360 as PC, thankfully.

I'd say don't get your hopes up, sadly. When they say something is going to fix all the problems it's too good to be true. Is this supposed to happen shortly?

According to the blog, it started roughly 30 minutes ago (3:00 EST). No word on how long it'll take, just that the servers will be down at 3:00 EST on the 12th (today) and the 13th.

I got my Xbox pre order version from Amazon.co.uk

The game was meant to come with a code for early access to a gun (they mentioned it being an AK47 but that wasn't actually it as the game doesn't have an AK47)

Anyone know how to unlock this?

PS. XBL name is MalixL if you want to add me

Is any one else having trouble with the official Bad Company 2 website? I've never viewed it, but whenever I try to navigate there the stupid age gate says I'm under age. I've even cleared my cache and it still always says I'm under age.

I really hate those stupid age verification things. They are completely useless and do nothing but annoy. I really wish websites would stop using them.

Nah never had any issues with it other than it being incredibly slow and the My Soldier part not working yet at all (they pulled it).

You're looking at ~20 FPS with medium settings at 1680x1050. I recommend the Radeon HD 5770. You'll get ~50 FPS or more (depending on your specs) plus DX11 goodies. The cheapest ones go for about $140 USD.

Alright my specs are i7 860 Running at 2,8 and 6GB Ram. I Think im gonna buy tomorow an HD 5770 :D

This game is like crack, (when i can get in and play) but last night was fine connection wise. Finally getting better and receiving more than 1 medal/pin a round. Tons of fun.

+1

Never spent so much time playing 1 game and above all else even enjoying it when my team loses!

Awesome specs. It'll definitely run well on your system. (Y)

I guess I could say the same, haha.

Same here. I stepped away for a few days, hoping that they would sort out the server issues while I was gone. Looks like that wasn't the case, lol.

Going to (try) to play today though. I don't want to fall further behind in rank than I already have :).

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features by Sayan Sen This past week Microsoft officially confirmed Windows 11 version 26H2 with the latest build, 26300.8697, for testing in the experimental Insider channel. The company also published more details about it mainly directed towards IT admins and system admins. Essentially version 26H2 will be delivered via an enablement package (eKB) over Windows 11 25H2. If you are wondering about some of the upcoming features in the next Windows version, one of them is certainly very interesting as Microsoft has confirmed it is finally bringing one of the most overwhelmingly requested features ever. March Rogers, the Partner Director of Design at Microsoft, recently highlighted some of the Search improvements that the company is testing, and during the interaction with users on X where he posted it, Rogers also confirmed that the company is working on disabling web search results inside Search. This is something which many users find quite annoying as Windows would often serve them links to Bing which it feels could be more helpful rather than bringing up the actual object or app the user may be searching for on their PC. Finally though the company is prioritizing local file search over the web. However the feature could not be disabled for many users as not all new features are immediately rolled out to everyone. Image via phantomofearth (X) Windows enthusiast phantomofearth who likes to dig deep into new builds uncovered the IDs you will need to enable these features. Using the following feature IDs the new Search-related features landing in Windows 11 26H2 can be used. Follow the steps below to enable the new Search experience on Windows 11 build 26300.8697: Download ViveTool from GitHub and unpack the files in a convenient and easy-to-find folder. Press Win + X and select Terminal (Admin). Switch Windows Terminal to the Command Prompt profile with the Ctrl + Shift + 2 shortcut or by clicking the arrow-down button at the top of the window. Navigate to the folder containing the ViveTool files with the CD command. For example, if you have placed ViveTool in C:\Vive, type CD C:\Vive. Type vivetool /enable /id: and press Enter. Restart your computer. If you change your mind and want to restore, repeat the steps above and replace /enable with /disable in the commands on steps 5 and 6. Delightedly and perhaps also expectedly, once you disable web search and other such bloat, the Windows 11 Search is said to get snappier as remarked by another Windows enthusiast Xeno.
