Everytime I see this with some one they have dual video cards. Is this driver issues ? I'm playing with an old school 4800 series and a dual core and so far I have had no probs. I have tweaked shit a dozen times and still it continues to run great.

crossfire is disabled still happens and im running the 10.3 whql drivers now also i run 2 monitors

but if i have to disable a gpu and disable a monitor just to play 1 game thats rather shitty the game needs some heavy patching not to mention there whole idea of keeping laggy players looking smooth is dumb ie 30ms ping 150ms latency in game there implementation of how to deal with rubber banding makes it so you can empty a clip into a laggy player and they can still knife you before the server says yup there dead. seems to me every new game i buy makes it so i have to disable more and more of my hardware to run it

the problems are driver based not game based tbh. The flickering you talk about crazyeyes are driver based for sure!

Battletracker has their badco2 stats banners available now. I like the simplicity of sig-o-matic but I like that you can have detailed stats such as how many defib/repair tool kills you have. If you want to script your own sig you can. Going to work on my own script for a sig when I get off from work.

have you updated your Dx11 lately?

What about sp2 for vista 64 does it have any advantages?

I know erocker has dual 5850's and i dont think hes has this problem either..

have you monitored your gpu temps while playing and everything max'd out to cause flicker?

Im curious if this flickering is artifacting from overheating? I hope not but I'm just trying to shoot out some possible ideas but i only have limited info Im going off of. your probbaly good on the temps since your using a nice airy case but also you could have a mismatched fan profile and the top card could be getting too hot,, i doubt it highly but something you could check too.

They whore the launchers, 40mm grenades.

Also a shit load of medics, and thats what I always complain about.

But I probably bet people hate me when I whore my Siaga 20k Shotgun.

Ive already got 800 kills with it and on my 8th star looking for platinum. I get silly 4-5 kills a death ratio's and literally gifted at rushing and getting behind enemy lines then dropping 20-30-40-50 people before I actually die.

After I go platinum with the saiga 20k ill go ahead and move to the m16a3. Already got 2 gold stars with that I believe.

I just bought this game and seems ok...bought it for 20$ great deal. I have wierd issue with flickering also. I had the 10.2 drivers so i figured it was that nope same thing with the 10.3 driver. I have msi afterburner clocking my card to 850/1200 with 1.1gpu volt and i know that is stable. I have a g15 keyboard and it shows when i start the games everything is normal but after like 10 mins of playing it starts to flicka. I looked at the settings and when its starts flickering my video card fan stops and starts and it clocks itself to 725/1100. Then is stays doing this until i exit the game.

@ crazysweaper can you post your dxdiag log, bc2 settings, temps and stuff just to try and pinpoint a solution?

what did you have prior to the 5850CF? was it a clean install?

i remember someone having DX11 issues before but its been a while, ill try to dig up the thread for reference.. it was on another forum.. it was fixed by an OS reinstall iirc but im not sure if that would help you but whenever I have massive issues with a game and everyone else isnt I wipe my os and 9/10 times i solve all problems.

10.3a and now b are both newer then the 10.3 whql drivers. 10.3b specifically fixed another possible occurrence of flickering in bc2.

i get minor flickering is tiny spots but not enough to warrant me pulling my hair out.

I do dirty installs.. one over the other and seldom have issues. when i went from 10.1 to 10.2 i did a proper install.. then installed 10.3 officials over 10.2 and was told to use 10.3b to help my multiple display issue but after reading some feedback i decided to wait and see what 10.4 brings to the table.

I also get flickering, but im using a 4870x2, pretty much complex light maps flicker, such as the ocean. I don't mind it that much though. I know a fix will come soon.

-also how do you guys use the Tanks machine gun [the one for the driver]? I right click and nothing. Do you gotta earn such thing?

Yes, one of the last vehicle unlocks is the alternate weapon unlock. I'd be fine with that, though the 'Zoom is a seperate unlock' pisses me off to no end though.

Does anyone know if the Vehicle Motion Sensor shows people on the radar for just you or does it show for team / squad? I hopped in a UAV and spent ~15 minutes hovering above the enemy dropping missiles straight into them, and with the motion unlock I had the whole hillside mapped with enemies. However my team just ran headlong into the firing lines, so much so that we ended up losing in the end. I had quickly switched to mashing the paint off of the Q button, but it had marginal effect due to the cooldown.

I know its still restricted to only being on the radar (and not highlighting them on screen), but I'd have thought if others could see it they'd surely have been checking their radar. I pretty much thought it'd be like a recon's motion mine, and considering how often I whore points from that I know that one works.
