I have been playing this game for about 2 hours a day, and sometime the game just force closes/kills itself. This happens at least 2 or 3 times times daily and it really bothers me because it screws up the rest of my computer too. So once i restart it is fine, but this shouldnt be happening. Thanks for any replies.

p.s. i tried all of the obvious things like drivers, reinstalling, etc.
 
Solution
Hey good to hear. That sounds a lot like that dragon age issue I was talking about. Something weird was going on with the FPS cap and some cards were throwing crashes unless vsync was on.

It is only by word of mouth but I read that the beta doesn't have a FPS cap. Hopefully it keeps stable for you now.

Fatal, I think that is a common issue. Issues updating has made their bug list. They suggest trying to run the updater as admin.
Happy bday man! and i am amazed at how well we did last night, including pins, i got 14,000 one round. Everybody kicked ass. Too bad the beta ends tmrw! Can everyone make it for a game tonight?
 
11? you leave at 11? or you mean go one between those two?
and 1030 is perfect for me everynight. i got used to 5 hours of sleep everyday.
another thing, I rename this the official [Blitzkrieg] team thread.
 


Good call, we need our own thread.

Anyways, I can be on at 10 or 11ish tonight. Gonna enjoy my bday with some pwning!
 
oh hell yea, i have given up knifing, it became an addiction, i couldnt stop at 200 kills, i just kept trying and lost it all....
😀 yea ima pro medic though. just played for like 2 hours, im becoming more tactital, UT3 screwed up my gaming mindset hehe alright so fatal and annis at 10 or 1030 ish, wheres spinach? and what happend to maximaniac? he seems excited for the game but i havent even seen him on the forums.
 
Im in for tonight. Maximaniac who?

I could fly the choppers in BF2 just fine but in BC2 pitching doesn't work for me. It just doesn't pitch no matter what keys I assign so I just end up crashing because I can't go forward or backwards and look like a total azole for wrecking the apache.
 
yea i dont even try anymore, but as the secondary guy in there i get like 10 kills a minute. Im not a big fan of the vehicles in the game anyways. and good, itll be us 4 again, a Bday match especially for annisman.
BUT if we lose, annis, you cant get any older hahaha this game actually controls the universe.
 
Good job tonight guys, def was the birthday bash I was expecting.

I think we played like 4 matches, and 3 of those we were the best squad, so obviously we are pretty decent.

I think once we get teamspeak going we'll be that much better.
 
that was the definition of l33tsauce!!
and im happy it was a good party lol
definitely communication is a major prob. how about xfire? is there voice there?
and best squad 3/4 is great in my book, with voice commun, wwe will be able to beat ANY team on gamebattles next week
1 week from tmrw guys!!!!!
 
yea. so back to the original reason for me posting this thread, now that i figured out the problem was my cpu, i can disable vsync so that i can get higher fps right?
OMG i just realized that the beta is over! 4 days till the game comes out tho! theres a countdown on the bc2 site.
 
You're a giver, eh? thats good lol
Of course i pre ordered mine over 1 month ago.
OH NO I just checked the confirmation email, and i chose to have it shipped instead of instore pickup.... how long will i have to wait after tuesday?
 
Yea i know, it was funny tho, last night we were searching around, and one of YOUR threads came up, forget what exactly it was about BC2. But i was like HEY thats one of the people on the team im on... anyways, yea, no reports of getting the beta working in Wine or Crossover...
 
Hes a linux pro, not a chance he would leave it. He also mastered Wine and Crossover so there is a good chance he can get it working. With that said, we are going to test it tmrw night with my copy to see if it works, so I wont be on tmrw until later. Do we have our usual 10pm game?
