That's not entirely true. What the Gol's 100% accuracy gives it is no sway when you're aiming. It still has bullet drop. But yeah, it's pretty much a direct upgrade to the M24. Which is why I don't get why so many people are still using that rifle.

I've felt like the GOL is superior than the M24. Even though the stats point towards the M24.

You can change the DX mode in the settings.ini file I believe. So you don't even really need to get that involved with it.

Even better. Thanks for the response.

Might mess with it just for the hell of it, but will probably just leave it as is. I am getting pretty damn good performance, but when it comes to online I have always felt the more frames the better.

when i tried going to dx9 mode via the ini file it just did not give me the same FPS boost as actually running windows xp. but give it a shot, it may work out for you. Good thing im just dual booting so i can go back to win 7 at any time (don't really miss it that much, plus x-fi work better in xp...)

I am hating teams in rush. :/ People can't ****ing defend the posts and rush around towards their spawn points and try to get them there. :crazy: Then when they are losing they switch teams and then its like 4 vs. 20. :angry: I hate people.

Hunt around for servers with the Guardian script installed. Keeps teams balanced all time, with lots of other neat stuff.

Yeah I kind of figured as much. Oh well I probably definitely wont bother with it then, still getting decent performance. Maybe next time I do a clean install, with may be sooner than later as I am considering picking up a SSD in the near future, so who knows.

honestly, give it a shot. i threw some comparison screenshots somewhere on this thread (no way im digging back go find it) to show sikh and their are next to no differences. If you google "dx9 vs dx10 bad company 2" you'll get tons of comparisons pages out there. honestly dx10 and dx11 is so far a joke...

To be fair, DX11 adds better shadows as well as small performance optimizations. It's a shame they didn't add things like hardware tessellation and improved texture compression. I guess they didn't want to alienate people with DX9/DX10 video cards.

Right now I run a copy on my new machine, i7 920 with an ATI 5850 DX11 my son runs his copy on a Dell XPS laptop DX9. I can say the DX11 just seems to add more. Hard to explain but the "environmental" effects seem way better on my computer than his. Lens flare, lighting, muzzle flash from the tanks etc.... just seem to have more flavor. Of course it makes it harder for me with seeing but the environmental effects are not served justice with screen shots. On a side note, if someone is able to run the game in DX11 only a handful of cards support DX11 and should run the game no issues.

Well the reason it could appear better is simply because your machine (the i7) is probably way more beastly than an XPS laptop. If you had two even spec'd machines where the only difference was a DX10 and DX11 graphics card, then the comparison would be accurate

That very well may be the case. My two points are A - Stills do not always capture the true difference B - If someone can run in DX 11 they have to have either an ATI 5000 series card or the very new Nvidia card, either way they should have no issues running this game so why not run DX11??

"I'm camping at your spawn point".

Tradition with all Battlefield games, so unless you are brand new to the series don't know how you didn't know about this.

As for the sniping, must be playing against some damn good snipers to be popping you left and right or being totally obvious about where you are and what you are doing.

This game needs to be renamed "Bad Campy 2" because all people do is fricking camp with fricking snipers.

lol.. this is really true.. but I do help accomplish things.. I've saved people countless times and prevented a lot of arms or sabotages. I do switch up from time to time though..

    • Password Safe 3.72.0

      By Copernic · Posted

      Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.

    • Google DeepMind AI Control Roadmap: When Alignment Fails, Defense-in-Depth Takes Over

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      Google DeepMind published a document on June 18, 2026, that may be the most consequential admission yet from a frontier AI lab: alignment training alone cannot guarantee that AI agents will remain under human control, so structural containment must be built before more capable models arrive.............. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318758/20260620/google-deepmind-ai-control-roadmap-when-alignment-fails-defense-depth-takes-over.htm  
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By Taliseian · Posted

      I've got a SoundBlasterX G6 that I use in my streaming setup. Sounds great to me and I've had zero issues with the ancient software package so far in Win11. That G6 has 7.1, Dolby, fully working SPDIF and since it's a USB device it's outside of my rig so I don't have to worry about EMF distortion. Looks like for now this is a pass for me as I think I have better hardware....

      I agree with both of you... It's absolutely imperative that science is completely based on actual proven facts and hard evidence and is not considered dogmatic in any way. Science is not a religion and it will never be, and that's exactly how it's supposed to be.
