The only problem I have with this game is browsing for servers which seems like it takes forever and once I find one I can't add to my favorites...it just sits there with a message "waiting for information" is anyone else dealing with this? Thanks

Welcome to the club. One of these days they will get that fixed, till then have to do it the old fashioned way (pen and paper if the memory isn't up to it) and write down the servers you like, put up with the slow server search and then locate it from the list.

Also if you look into it enough it appears there is also a bug in the favorites and History that even when they do work, it is limited to 6 servers in the list only, any more than 6 and the extras are greyed out as if the server was offline.

Edit: Just had a thought about something I saw elsewhere regarding the broken Favorites. For anyone that has theirs actually working (or even just a couple in it) for any of the servers that have been listed in this thread go to,

C:\Users\Your Name\Documents\BFBC2

and open the GameSettings.ini in Notepad, scroll down to the bottom and if any of the servers are listed (will look like this, 1742552947,fc7d5c02-1a9a-4f5c-8e37-3fa70c220e40,LegionAtWar Hardcore Conquest; ) under "FavoriteGames=" or "RecentGames=", if could post them here then those of us that it won't work at all can add them manually.

great idea, I saw that too..I'll try posting if I can get the info...thx

Here you go guys

the graphics are pretty cool...but the story

LOL those roadkills are awesome! I can hear the "raging" now, thanks for the link.

UAV roadkills lol - i know a few clan members will love this! - but i don't think i will show them this vid, as i'm sure i'll end up as a victim!

nice one for visiting one of our servers, Everlong18, and patiently waiting for an empty slot. you're a top player too!

do come again!

For those with the browser issues if you hit the cancel button a load of servers will pop up that you can join. That's my way of getting around it anyway.

Yea same here, i always use the filter to enable punkbuster servers and ranked servers then push refresh and cancel it rite away and all the servers seem to show up instead of waiting for the full refresh, you still get a load of servers in the list:)

the server browser it terrible, it was terrible in the beta and I was stupid enough to believe they would not release something so buggy for the retail release but EA/DICE tricked us all

I am not sure what filter you are using for PB servers because the only filter is to keep the PB option unticked in the server browser, if you tick the PB option it will get only non PB servers (which makes no sense imo it should be the other way around )

the issues with the server browser are known and hopefully they will be able to fix it at some point
