Sry... but what does this mean. Surely PB is PB. whats with the lottery ?
Needs to be sorted quickly if this is the case. Never had this issue with other games...

Well it means that service is flimsy right now, and sometimes it does what it's supposed to, and sometimes it doesn't. In my experience, it's about 50/50. I think it will be sorted eventually. Tons of players are reporting this.

Laguna Alta + conquest + 32 players = Awesome

I managed to play a good 2 hours last night without any kicks or errors. I am loving this game and no doubt it will keep me busy untill MoH and BF3.

okay... thnx.
I am testing it on servers with 0 players on them. Do not want to upset a good in progress frag....
One good point is performance.... looks great and get good FPS....

had no issue with PB yet, but if PB gives you trouble remember that PB is sensetive to overlays, and can cause issues, forcing triple buffer can cause issues, since you are altering directx calls.

Finally got on last night for a few rounds. Lots of fun, still the performance isn't great. Somewhat choppy frames for me, 1920x1200 all high, 4AA. 195.62's IIRC.

Is that in DX10 Meth ?

If it is I'd suggest lowering settings to Shadows med, HBAO off, 2xAA and with a FOV of 74. I use these settings and get inbetween 60 and 90 fps, using fraps i see my fps never drops below 60 which i am quite happy with and with very little loss to image quality.

nV`andrew · 03-07-10, 12:25 PM

I was kind of confused, do i type in fov=74 or fov=100?

Logical · 03-07-10, 12:33 PM

For a resolution of 1920x1200 a horizontal fov of 100 would be optimal. However, in the settings.ini the FOV setting changes the vertical FOV so using a FOV calculator 100 horizontal FOV = 74 vertical FOV.

Short answer type in 74

Uh, not sure; whatever steam loads by default.

Yes HBAO is already off, but I haven't futzed with the FOV at all. I'll try lowering shadows I guess.

Is SLI working on this game???

Logical · 03-07-10, 12:56 PM

Not too sure if SLI is working or not Meth. If you have SLI then there really shouldn't be a prob running it at full settings perhaps with HBAO off and 4xAA (if it is working on BFBC2). I'm guessing a combination of future drivers and patches for bfbc2 will sort out some of the choppiness for most people.
