Battlefield: Bad Company 2

RE the loading issues. users with ATi cards are all slowly loading at the moment I'm the same with my 4890. Just gotta wait for ATi/Dice to fix it I suppose, even with it running on my SSD it loads pretty slow :(

Core i7 920

6GB DDR3

ATi 4890

Though, I have to say, despite the possibility of having 5-10 second loads, 40 seconds ain't bad - Most games today seem to have long loading screens so this is almost an improvement :laugh:

Hows the PC problems coming along?

My mate wants me to pick this up (same guy I play WoW with).

its getting better for me, still takes a while to load up the server list and sometimes you can't sign in or you get logged off, but when it works it's AMAZING.

and you played WoW...

Hey, I'm proud of that - any k/d ratio over 1 is a good game for me lol

I even killed someone in mid-air with my pistol jumping from a rooftop - I was all WAHEY until a tank blew me up :(

Seems like multiplayer issues aren't just affecting PC's.

Tried for a multiplayer game last night on Xbox and stated there were no games. Tried for 15 mins before giving up and going back to the single player game.

@Sethos: Thank god, people abuse the M4 Carbine like crazy be it ANY game.

@Singh: Get it and add me, we shall game it up. *call out things in indian :P always messes with people haha.

So far ive been having great performance and this is ONE GAME i can use fraps with and it doesnt lag me. Games like CoD4 where i get 150FPS, ill turn fraps onto 60 FPS half or full size and it LAGS THE HELL OUT OF ME. CSS i get 200FPS, same settings LAG. BF2 LAG. ANY GAME LAG.

This game, started fraps and literally NO CHANGE in gameplay. No jumpiness, nothing. Usually with Fraps any game i try recording gets me jumpiness.

In response to Sethos, yeah it's a DX10.1 card, unfortunately setting to DX9 does reduce the loading time, and quite considerably, it makes texture flicker like mad so it made the game unplayable, long load times > flickering. Hoping for a fix soon though.

****in bull****! Its impossible to join ANY ****ing server at all. Jeez, even in MW2 it takes way less time to find a good working game. Currently one ****ing huge fail.

In my list of botched online launches it falls only short of Age of Conan.

I really don't understand all you people having a hard time finding servers. Sure I've had the EA server problems but otherwise it takes me like 2min to get into a game.

Well, then I'd suggest you have a looksie around the official forums, steam BF forums etc.

This is a pretty widespread issue and it strikes at random.

Larry just told me he was having the same issue, so it also happens in the US.

Xbox version's fine for me- though it refused to connect to LIVE today for some odd reason until I DMZ'd it.

I've yet to play the single player but I'm really enjoying the multiplayer- though I hate the campers who camp when a bomb's been planted in Rush.

Last time i was able to connect any game was almost 3 days ago through vpn. Now its just numerous iterations of "Connection to whatever Lost".

I was having the connection issues a couple of days ago, but this morning and yesterday it has been working pretty well. Today I got into a server on the first try and stayed there for about two hours without getting kicked. I attribute that more to luck than anything else. For all I know, I could end up having more connection issues next time.

The game definitely has me in its clutches now. The two-hour session I had this morning went by so fast. It's funny because I wasn't really crazy about the beta, but the final game just seems so much more smooth, the hit detection seems a lot better, most of the maps are beautiful (which makes me question why Valdez was the beta map), and I'm so happy to see Conquest back. It's like being reunited with an old friend. Rush is nice, don't get me wrong, but Conquest feels like a return to form. It feels like classic Battlefield.

No issues with servers here either - my first attempt when selecting "Join Game" never works but second attempt always does. Weird.

Server Browser is slow and the "Not full" option doesn't appear to work either. Other than that, I'm doing ok.
