Battlefield Bad company2 discussion thread

After going through the Battlefield forums some more I'm starting to feel unsure about this. 10-15 bullets to the chest to kill someone does not sound fun.

It runs fine on a GTX 260 at 1680x1050 High settings. No slowdowns, but it does feel quite unoptimised at the moment bearing in mind it is still in beta. I get around 30-70 FPS depending on how much action is going on (DX9 mode).

The gameplay itself is awesome

I'm running at 1280x1024, Medium Settings and I'm experiencing lag... this is with a 4770... I don't think I should get lag at this resolution... hope they'll fix lag issues :p

Might get a second 4770 but I'm not sure yet ;)

Yeah it's true and it's ******* me off a bit. I mean... There's no use what so ever in having a SMG or a Pistol because it simply won't kill. I hope they'll up the damage a bit

I think DICE will deffo fix the lag issues as they are big with the online gaming thing.

Your game is probably running in Dx10 mode. Lower it down to Dx9 mode by opening the settings.ini file in this rough directory "docs\bfbc2\settings.ini" You should see something called Directx = Auto. change that to dx9.

DO make a back up though. :p

Agreed!!!!!

Running fine for me at 1680x1050 with x4 AA.4xAF,HBAO off, avg 50-70 fps with my 4890 at stock

DICE really do need to work on the Hit boxes a bit though,the Hit Reg is shocking sometimes(I know its a BETA)

And the "HIGH" textures do not work atm,according to the twitter feed DICE disabled them for the beta

+1!!!

Theres also a couple of keyboard bugs. Sometimes you suddenly start moving while you are not even pressing any buttons, and this afternoon I had a bug that didn't allow me to use my keyboard at all. The esc key, w,a,s,d, space, nothing worked. I could fire my gun just fine but couldn't move or anything like that. Had to alt tab out(that worked)
 
yup high res textures are missing to keep the download small

i read earlier that the beta build is something like 6 weeks old.

wonder why they didn't give us more recent code to beta with *shrug*

[edit] just found this too:

Closed Beta bug status Here we list some of the bugs which have been reported in the Closed Beta, with confirmed info from programmer, Mikael Kalms.

How is DICE working on the game?

Fixes are made directly in the retail game. Then, depending on how much time and effort it takes, we also lift the fixes into the Closed Beta. When we have a new good build of the Closed Beta, we will release a new client.

The focus for most of the team right now is stability, not game balancing. Therefore the list below contains mainly reported stability issues.

Flashing water and terrain on Crossfire

  • Fixed in retail game.

Particle shadows disabled on SLI + DirectX9

  • They used to cause a huge performance drop. Fixed in retail game.

DirectX9 crashes

  • We have improved stability some in the retail game, particularly when "losing" the graphics device due to alt-tab

WinXP 32 / WinXP 64 compatibility

  • We have done a few crash fixes, although we have no data specifically on XP64 yet.

Updater fails downloading patch and gives a nonsensical error message about "unable to download patch, check your internet connection"

  • Fixed in the retail game. The problem is both in the game's installer and in the updater.
  • Closed Beta workaround: launch the Updater as Administrator.

Some or all of WASD keys stop working

  • If you have a joystick connected, and it is not perfectly calibrated, then it will signal tiny movements in some direction. These tiny movements overrule the WASD keys. We are aware of the problem.
  • Closed Beta workaround: Disconnect your joystick

Crash during level load on ATI x1900 cards

  • The game requires driver version 9.12 or later to function. 9.11 crashes hard inside the driver. Unfortunately there are no new enough drivers available for the X1900 cards.
  • Closed Beta workaround: Rename BFBC2Game.exe to BF2.exe, and launch BF2.exe directly.

Sometimes you keep moving even after you have released a key

  • Noted. We have reproduced it at the DICE office too.
  • As a side note: this never happened to a single developer during the past 6 months' worth of testing. Strange.

"Connection to server has been lost"

  • This one is tricky. We have no solution yet.

Some sounds are played in the wrong speaker

  • Audio team are investigating.

Crackups in sound

  • No data yet.

Weapon balancing and tuning

  • When we created the first Closed Beta, we picked the most stable build we had. (Well, you have all seen how well that build fared when it faced the real world...) We had to choose either stability or new content -- and stability won. Due to this, all content in the Closed Beta was some weeks old already at launch.
  • Weapon balancing is on-going in the retail game, and we are following what's happening on the forums.

HBAO is very GPU hungry, resulting in low framerates on high-end machines

  • We are working on faster versions of the filter.
  • Closed Beta workaround: disable HBAO. Looks less pretty, runs better.

The game has high framerate on a machine, yet the input is very laggy

  • We have a fix in the works.

The game accepted my serial key, but then failed logging in to EA Online

  • Are you having any exotic characters in your password? One person who had the character ‘}’ in his password had that very problem.
  • Closed Beta workaround: Change your password (using www.ea.com) to a password that only contains the characters A-Z, a-z, 0-9. Then try logging in in the game again.

So, that is where we are at now.

We will try to keep this list updated every few days. Thanks for your feedback, everyone!

Yes, Instead of a mag to kill, it takes roughly 1/4 to half of the mag to kill. Blasts are much more affecting. Your health does not regenerate. The HUD does not display. Grenades have a bigger blast radius. It doesnt require 4 noob tubes to kill, only one within 5 feet of the enemy. And the cross-hairs for your weapon do not show. Grenade launcher, and a few tanks included. Sniper scopes still work though.

It's a shame nvidia arent releasing their new cards till mid march. Will have to stick with DX10 for a bit before picking up a dx11 card.
 
I'm in the beta, but I can't really play it, since my computer is quite crappy:/ Heard, that there are some major performance issues in BETA...
