What do You think of BC2?

[FATAL STR1K3]

They now have brackets next to clan tags by default. Thats why most people last night had double brackets [[Bl1tZ]]

 

[OvrClkr]

hey Fatal, do we have to fill out anything before we slap on the Blitz tag?

 

[JDV28]

Yes, PM me on gamebattles.com so i can get you onto the team.

Sweet you joining up then Ovr? That new patch seems to have made the server browsers a lot more snappier. Any one notice that or am I just crazy?

 

[gamerk316]

^^ Noticed it last night as well.

the 'Q' is good because it forces the player to look around for a medic etc rather than randomly voice spamming.

when low on ammo you can also call for ammo (assault) or if you're an engineer you can request for a damaged vehicle to stop for you to repair.

the universal button of awesome.


right - someone please paste the patch notes because i can't find them from work and i'm bored.

I had issues trying to register to GB last night, got an error saying that I needed to click on the box "terms and conditions" but there was no box to check. Will try today on another PC.

good looks spinach

WoW, seems like the patch resolves most of the issues. Still confused as to why Steam is not auto patching the game.. Anyways I will update the game manually when I get home..

I would call clicking on BC2 updater.exe "manually updating"

 

[OvrClkr]

ohh, didnt know that.. I thought Steam would auto update just like it does with the rest of my games.

So go into the games directory and click on updater.exe and im done?

 

[JDV28]

yup! thats it, it will say there is a newer version and then you are done. i think it says like BC2gameupdater.exe or something, not sure exactly.

 

[OvrClkr]

sweet, thanks =)

On a side note, are you experiencing any lag when all hell breaks loose? The reason I ask is because you also have a GTX 260 and many 260 users are saying that Nvidia needs to release a Driver that will fix this issue. Im kinda bummed out that I run the game at 3.9Ghz with my 260 fairly overclocked and still get lag even at 80FPS with v-sync off. In order to play a decent game I have to turn down all settings to low including the audio.

 

[SpinachEater]

I am pretty sure that the Steam version doesn't have the updater....I could be wrong but it seems like I have looked for it and it isn't there. Mine updated last night...a day after the patch was released.

What you need to do is go into the game properties and in one of the tabs select "keep game up to date" or something to that order and Steam will automatically start any updates.

Ummmm.... if im in the middle of a mortar strike with alot of people around then yes i get some lag, but it doesnt bother me at all. gameplay is much more important. It would be nice if they fixed this, but once again, i couldnt care less about a 20fps drop for 5 seconds. and my game keeps on freezing it really pisses me off, anyone else having this problem?

 

[OvrClkr]

I guess your issue has nothing to do with mines. Im not complaining about the drop in FPS my issue is that the game lags regardless if its at 60/80/90/100 FPS..

 

[JDV28]

Oh, yea thats pretty odd... I know the game hates any overclocks so that could be your problem. Thats what happened to me and...spinach maybe? i cant remember

 

[OvrClkr]

Its not letting me patch the game, Steam says that if you purchased the game from them you should wait till they release the official patch that should update once you launch steam between today and tomorow.. Something about the removal of the Secure-Rom DRM...

 

[OvrClkr]

Oh, yea thats pretty odd... I know the game hates any overclocks so that could be your problem. Thats what happened to me and...spinach maybe? i cant remember

It happens at stock clocks as well. I have tried everything trust me , the game should not lag at ALL when I have everything set to LOW / no xAA, no xAF etc..

Anyways hopefully the patch will fix this issue, what i don't understand is that there are a few peeps using single 5770's and the game is running flawless for them, well at least that is what they say...

I have always had the settings on "always keep this game up to date" and I went into the update history tab and did not see any new updates.

The last update that steam did on my pc was March 2nd, not sure why many already have the patch and i don't..

 

[JDV28]

I really dont know then, this game is just really unstable. Everyone is going to have to deal with this stuff until they get it completely stable.

 

[OvrClkr]

yea, im good. The game is awesome , no complaints other than the above so I can wait for the fixes. 2.3 Million copies sold in less than 2 weeks =)
