Windows 7: bfbc2 update - vietnam

Has anyone encountered lag since the new patch? Everyone I talk to says they lag when playing online.

Well, you better get used to it.

And BTW, BFBC2 absolutely rocks, the new maps are insanely fun (Harvest Day is by far the biggest map on BFBC2 now).

Just pre-ordered Vietnam as well .

Some lag is always expected when a new patch is being deployed (servers need to update as well).

yup your right we did get new maps I never noticed...I just set for rush and join w/e server I can get into at the time.
MY BC2 is going thru EA tho not Steam..just tried to associate the game to steam account for zilch...do I have to reinstall this tho I just did and Steam didnt auto pick up on it when I did the install like it did with NV and Metro.
How do I get Steam to pick it up cos I dc mostly because I lose the link to EA?

Mickey hope you guys are running all three in the rotation on your server.

And yes the three new rush maps at least are lots of fun.

P.S. for anyone that hasn't updated or is having problems with the auto-update here is at least one of the standalone installers (direct link to EA),

i actually amicably left the clan several months ago, although i do still play there from time to time - that's why i don't wear tags any more. they only have a rush server now, whereas i generally prefer conquest - i don't like defending

i'm sure that the *Mine* guys will be running the new maps...it's always good to get something new for free.

looking forward to vietnam too...

well i'm really enjoying the new conquest maps - it's almost like a whole new game (or rather like an old game) with the wide open spaces and lots of vehicles.

can't wait to see what they've got in store for vietnam...

Yea I'm loving the new maps. It's loads better having so much space. Though crossing a huge field in an open area leaves you as easy pickings for snipers.

Just got through a few rounds of the new maps... and I'm loving it! So much so that I ordered Vietnam, which is cool since I'd pretty much stopped playing it had gotten so stale.

any noticing (very small) bugs though?

i keep seeing a 'reload' message on my screen, even when i've got a full clip. i think this is a new bug.

the ump-45 (and ump-sa) reloads instantly, without a reload animation. i think this is an old bug.

...or is it just me?
