I haven't tried the TPU server yet, probably because Im in love with the Hardcore servers. No minimap, or crosshair and it doesnt take like 10 hits to kill someone. Its a good challenge. Any of you all playing on HC or any chance of turning the TPU server into a HC server?

Also for reference. Running this on my e8500 @ 4.01Ghz, 4Gb DDR2 @1152, 4890 @ 950 core and 1000 mem at 1920x1080, Vista 64bit, all settings high, 2xMsaa and HBAO off. Lowest FPS Ive gotten is 57. Usually hovers around 65-75. I love this game!!

Try this one its hardcore 68.232.162.145:19567

Ya, i was kinda raging because i just thought that it was pure fail due to the connection issue, but the server is kind of down right now.

RAGE!!!!!!!

Only thing i hate about badcompany 2 is.

*It takes 5 hours to refresh a server list
*Almost 90% of the server's i try to join that say 28/32 or lower seem to be full even though they have what seems to be a spot open and i go searching for 5 minutes to be forced to join a hardcore server in germany(next problem)

*I SEE NO DAM FREAKING POINT IN ME HAVING TO REFRESH AND HAVE 50% OF THE SERVER'S BE ACROSS THE GLOBE. I MEAN THERE ARE SERVER'S FROM austrailia and germany were i get a nice 500 ping in that make the multi game play terrable.

*note*They should really zone out the refresh because all im getting are across the globe server's and i can tell theres major lag when i fire at people with my m24 4 times and there standing still basicly not even taking damage and kill me with a random pistol shot.

im getting tired of it frankly and its not going to stop me from playing the game but its one pain in the ass when i just want to getting into my recon mode and be unlocking some weapons and perks. and spending 40 minutes of my life searching for a semi good server -_-!

Theres a lot more rage going one on EA forum

 

[erocker]

EA stated that the amount of people playing is overwhelming their servers. They didn't expect such a turnout. Considering it's Sunday and many people aren't at school/working, yeah there's going to be problems. Adding servers takes a little while. Go play something else and don't let games make you upset. It'll get fixed, be patient. Game companies don't have magic wands.

EA stated that the amount of people playing is overwhelming their servers. They didn't expect such a turnout.

funnily enough - thats what InfinityWard said about Mw2 - within the first few days the masters server went down. it was down for around 7hours before people could connect again. but the problem is they actually managed to fix it & as far as ive heard & experienced it hasnt happend again since. not to mention the predominantly borked gaming matching/finding service...

with EA it seems like a lot of talk & no substance - they know about the network issues & Im sure with the amount of money they got from all the Mw2 haters jumping ship they'd be more then willing to pay their staff the extra few quid to give up their weekend & work on one of the most awesome & badass games of 2010. & id like to think that their staff share the same ideal/passion - after all, its not everyday a new game is released so they dont need to deal with complications like this on a 24/7 basis & if they dont then maybe their in the wrong job or should be working else where. If they lack the passion, the motivation & commitment then obviously its come to a point where the position they currently hold is no longer for them.

no doubt progress is very slow. but i think from EA who have released countless numbers of titles to the public from BF1942 to the new to be released BF3 saying they didnt anticipate it is a really poor excuse on their behalf. they know the score & they failed to act on it. leaving people who bought the game literally in the shit.

Im sure all the staff at EA predicted everything to run smoothly - but there is either very little to no communication between departments or EA didnt think ahead & think it would be a good idea to have backup servers on standby just to make sure network issues were minimised. so it could be someone or some people at EA didnt do their job correctly

because it truely says alot about the game (& its makers/designers/studios somewhat) if you purchase one of their games & cant play it.

managed to get the PBSetup file and got the updates for BC2 but im still getting kicked for "PB INIT FAILED"

 

[douglatins]

Ok i need help from you guys, i want to fix the crashing of the game and further lockup of system, my belief is that its because of heavy switching of GPU Clocks as my previous post shows, is there a way to set a app specific setting that when the named app is running the GPU only works in 3D clocks?

 

[Lionheart]

Just had a go of the TPU server, so much better, no lag whatsoever and the map I was playin is the most funniest outta all the ones I've tried, cant remember what the map was called though, TPU you rule.

Oh yeah I got kicked off the server, no surprise, lik my ballz EA.

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

In and playing!!

Restart computer after the update. Or you would have to go into the admin control center and manually start PB as it is a system service.

I had some connection issues today, but that turned out to be a combination of roommate stupidity (uploading on uTorrent) and me forgetting about the auto scan on Sundays. It is set to run at 4 a.m., but we had a power outage and it started when I turned Monolith back on, duh.

Outside of that, I have no more issues with the game now....except I need to up my vet status from 2 to like 4 or 5

 

[douglatins]

Isnt anyone helping me out on this one?

 

[RX-7]

you can kill the tasks PnkBstrA and PnkBstrB and restart the game that should help now, but earlier when PB was acting up it didnt help at all

 

[i nEeD HeLp]

wow! just got the game and i cant even connenct to any kind of server.

sucks balls man. deep.

 

[FreedomEclipse]

it wont let me join tpu server ¬_¬ I wonder how long this madness will go on

 

[Lionheart]

ea suk!

the thing is at distance, the M60 should lose power and accuracy, but it doesn't seem to. I have been killed at point A of (can't remember the name) while they were standing at point c just spamming bullets. yeah it's possible i guess, but it still kinda sucks.

If anyone is killing you that far away with an M60, they are tap firing it. Those shells are massive, it doesn't loose a ton of power over range, seems like 6 or so shots to kill someone at range. But if someone stands still long enough for you to tap the trigger 6 times, they should be dieing anyways. It's the most damaging gun beyond the sniper rifles which take 2 at range to body shot and it takes double or triple that, so seems about right to me. I haven't tried the 4x scope though, I iron sight people, the LMG's have to much recoil for scopes, so killing people at that distance is a deserved kill, at least for me.

I haven't tried the TPU server yet, probably because Im in love with the Hardcore servers. No minimap, or crosshair and it doesnt take like 10 hits to kill someone. Its a good challenge. Any of you all playing on HC or any chance of turning the TPU server into a HC server?

Almost no weapons take 10 to kill people on normal server, crosshairs being gone isn't all that different, what I need is a minimap, as a medic, too hard to pick out whos dead and where.

Amen - think how much more insane the M60 would be!!!! a single bullet from it could level the whole fucking map to lolwutsauce

Actually, you were talking about sniper rifles in comparison to the M60 before, sniper rifles pretty much 1 kill body shot on HC maps, which is pretty BS as it makes playing sniper the thing to do. The M60 doesn't change all that much on HC, maybe a bullet difference in shots to kill.

I will just apologize for anyone on TeamSpeak with me when my roommates come and ask me questions. I will try to get them to stop (even though I have a sign on my door that says, "Do not disturb. I am gaming.") or use mute more.

Do you use push to talk?

I got the 4x scope - IMHO its pants, its the 'ACOG' scope of BC2 if your gonna put a 4x scope on, say bubbai to your range on that rifle. I had it on mine for 1 spawn then i changed it straight away when i died - nasty peice of junk. the 12x scope looks promising though....
