Battlefield BC2

Yeah, you should be ok. It's not impossible for me to run the game. Panama Canal and Laguna Presha both cause me lag but the others aren't all that bad. I think that the PB problems are fixed. They were supposed to patch all the servers early am yesterday. Our server dropped twice with 32/32 and we didn't see the PB init failures like we did a couple days ago. If you want to follow on EA's 402 equavilent(for lack of a better title) zerk16 has a twitter account. He's been fairly good about posting updates about issues and fixes. Now if they can get to where config file changes can be saved so ban lists, server banners, and other things are permanant.

MaDFeReT..Uk Any 1 want a game?

I'll add you to my friends list. My ingame is xodus. Not sure how your ping would be but search for WDA-Walking Dead Army Chicago. It's a good server. We have it set up for rush at the moment. Had some phenominal matches last night.

I think BC, and more importantly the hype, has bamboozled a lot of guys into buying new hardware. You will be the suck unless you've got a quad and a 260 minimum...

What gets lost is that the reviews almost always run insane amounts of AA and AF, even when they don't need to, like at 2500. Turn it off and all will be good.

i want this bloody game!!

i had it on ''pre-order'' but i had to cancel it due to unforeseen circumstances, the BETA ran like butter on my rig 70+ fps most of the time maxed out...

it is a visceral experience, i'll try & grab a copy this wk end & join you all in the theater of battle

Ah, cool!! I don't think I want to advertise my kill:death ratio though. LOL.

Well I think it is legit at least on the CPU side. It maxes my CPU. I think my GTS 250 handles it fine. I saw unplayable video lag last night while playing Panama Canal. I think I dropped to around 17 FPS for a few seconds while buildings were coming down around me.

I am running low settings with my resolution at 1280 x 1024 to try to get as much frames as possible. I ran in 1600x1200 and down to 1024 x 768 and saw maybe 10-20 FPS increase total. Not a big difference. The big change was going to the config file and changing DX from auto to 9. That gave me a solid 20 FPS change. I average about 45 FPS for most maps but Panama Canal and I believe Laguna Presa both cause considerable drops for me. Before doing all this I was averaging right at 25 FPS. I never ran Crysis but I am sure that if you can find a setting where FPS is managable with that then BC2 should be fine. They said that it's not a taxing on the pc as Crysis is.
