Well its intalled, already pwning noobs, where do I sign up for the TPU clan? I tried to hop on the server last night but it was full.

The last thing I heard, to get in the TPU Clan you need to be a member for at least 4 years and have a minimum of 9000 posts :rockout:

fellow snipers, do u guys notice big bullet drop on m95? just got it last nite and kinna disappointed.
It is suppose to be a medium range rifle, and this is the exact kind of gun that a front line sniper uses. ;)
If you perfer long range sniping, use the GOL instead.

BTW, I am no sniper but I go marksman with my AR, usually AN-94.

As mussles said you need to edit a .ini file for force DX versions.

The file should be located under your "My Documents" folder or just "Documents" if you're on Vista or W7. In that file you'll find the line for the DX version. Also if the game is stuttery try changing the "renderahead=2" to "1".

.../Documents/BFBC2/settings.ini.

Let me ask this then. What if I started it in XP Mode, would it just default to DX 9 ?
I'll have to try when I get home. Thanks Feller's !

I'm pretty sure if you noticed the requirements on the first post you'd see you simply need to post your request and information.. other than that, I imagine it's implied you need to wait more than 2 hours for the leader to do anything about it :p

There's a 10-install limit however you can also deactivate to free up. Not sure outside of that...

Just bought last night and tried out the SP a bit and was also able to get into a multiplayer game first try using Play Now (thought I'd try and see). On a temp XP install though, need to go back to Win 7 for some DX 10 action.

if it was made smaller, w1zzy would likely allow the remote server. there is a thread in comments and feedback about this stuff.

I don't think it can be made smaller, The resolution of it is 400x80 which is fine, but the file is too big, like kid did by saving it then shrinking the file size works. But I think that if you use the direct link from that site it will update everytime your stats update, and taking the method of saving it and uploading it yourself, it will never update until you do it yourself.

I'll have to take a look at that thread, it would be nice to see a bit larger file size allowed.

WEll I can see the server and hit the join button and I see the join server timer spin it disappears and I just sit there ?? any ideas says there's 18/32 playing ??

As far as I've been able to tell if the "please wait" just disappears the server is full (note that even on a refresh or even full game restart the server browser shows identical info). if you double click on the same server a few times it'll come up as full.

on another note, I can't get the browser to show server pings, I've run both steam and the game as admin (and my router is "driver-less" so I can't get into its settings) anyone got a fix?

Man I love this game!!
me and my brother just can't get enough!!

One map there were 4 snipers on a hill snipping down on everyone!!! We saw them.. we then sneaked right around them and stabbed all 4 of them!! was some laugh :D

Oh on another note.

We were firstly using MSAA2x and 4xAF and was running just fine at 40-50FPS.

Then oddly enough we went to MSAA4x and 8XAF and got 60-70FPS??????????

Now we are both happily running it on 8Q and 16AF at 50-60FPS.
Is this normal?? To mean it seems strange to have an increase in performance??
Also all shimmering appears to be gone and looks a lot better!!

Seems like you might have set effects to low irish (since the surface lighting is decreased).

BTW, add me to the team kurg!

they both degrade performance.

higher AA or higher lighting will both result in lower FPS

Is it that much better than the AN-94? I looked over the numbers and while the M16 is shooting 3 rounds it looks to be much less damage per round. Please give me more details!!!!!!!
