Battlefield Bad Company 2 Clubhouse

[Lionheart]

I got bored so I'd thought I would post this



Nothing great but you can decide

[1Kurgan1]

I'm 5 ranks above you and I have about the same amount of kills with my M60....

[overclocking101]

well now I cant play online for some reason I keep getting punk buster errors! I just upgraded to win7 and it was working before the upgrade. I updated punkbuster via pb setup. my error is:
"service communication exeption: punkbusterb.exe failed to initialize! WTF

[Black Haru]

manually update PB ( if you have a steam version make sure the PB file goes in the steam file)

if not that, try the windows firewalls

[erixx]

Hahaha, best weapon is bazooka, LOL Welcome to ArmyQuake Badcompany 2

On my side, I just noticed all my SP missions (campaign finished long ago) are gone. So i cannot jump into any mission anymore...

Connection to servers still suck: no pings, takes long. But no other problems, apart from being killed-a-lot

[DrPepper]

Crap reason for them not bringing onslaught to the pc. Really server admins shouldn't go from rush to onslaught but if that server doesn't mind chucking 28 people its fine by me I won't go on that server.

I just bought the 5850 and a Nice Samsung 2404HM monitor. What kinda performance will I see running with a Athlon II 550 BE @ 3.1 Ghz and 4 Gb RAM? How would that compare with the same but with a Quad-core CPU like a AMD Propus 635? I can't wait to see what BC2 looks like in DX11 and with 24" Widescreen.

Hey guys, Just asking if anyone can help me with the veteran program?

I have linked all my games into my master EA account (bf2, bf2142 bf heros etc) But when i go onto the http://www.badcompany2.ea.com/en-gb/veteran website, It says i have no games. But when i try to add them with the icons, i enter my details and try to add it, and it still refuses to update or even acknowledge that i have any other games. Also, i got BF Heros today to try to see if that would unlock the damn M1 Garand, but it says

"The Battlefield Veteran program will automatically detect if you have a Heroes soldier on this account. The Heroes medal will be lit up if it is detected.

If it is not detected, you may have logged in with a different EA account than the one you play Heroes with. All your Battlefield games need to be linked to a single EA account."

when ive bloody linked them all to the same account! i hate the way EA do things

any help would be greatly appreciated. Also add me on BC2 "Awbso"

This will not be fixed by PBSetup. Your services failed to install correctly. http://www.evenbalance.com/index.php?page=pbsvcfaq.php

the veteran thing is a bunch of BULLSHIT i own 1942 BF2 and 2142 and i have to register my gamespy id to get vetern status????? last time i checked i didnt use gamespy to play battlefield... they couldnt make the process any more ridiculous then they have not to mention i dont remember my passwords i usually have to guess but low and behold its not account related it has to process the information etc... and i already set all my accounts as 1 in the EA account managment so why did i do that when i have to STILL deal with the same bullshit now. EA fails i kinda hope they go under so i dont have to deal with there crap anymore

[Wrigleyvillain]

The veteran website wouldn't take my codes for older games like '42 and Vietnam so I ended up emailing the keys to customer support and they fixed me up to Rank 4. Never had to do shit related to Gamespy, thank christ. This was before they revamped the Veterans Site but I'd say Customer Support still the way to go.

[crazyeyesreaper]

im just not going to bother its not worth the hassell to get 1 unlock. Altho again i cant wait for another video game industry crash.. so the crap gets weeded out again

I did 30 ranks with a Phenom 8450 triple core, a 5850, and a 27” monitor. My performance was pretty decent minus the slow load times.

Haven’t played on that machine since fixing my main rig.

Didn't pass QC and pushed back to next week. It caused some crashes apparently.

Yeah but would there be a performance hit because Im only Dual Core? If so, how much?

[Wrigleyvillain]

Yeah but this was different apparently (i.e. really bad):

-Crashed when finished loading Atacama
-Crashed when finished loading Valparaiso
-Crashed when finished loading Isla Inocentes
-Upon spawning, RELOAD text appears.
-Random crashes during playtesting

See here: http://www.techspot.com/article/255-...nce/page7.html

Update: For those that were concerned about dual vs. quad-core CPU battle, here is a little more info...

The game appears to be using all four cores when available. Here we used a standard Core i7 920 processor running at 2.66GHz. Please note HyperThreading was disabled and a single Radeon HD 5850 graphics card was used. As you can see none of the cores are working very hard.

Here is the same Core i7 920 processor with two cores disabled as well as HyperThreading. As you can see neither core is maxed out, but the CPU utilization is much higher. So again, a decent dual core processor such as a Core 2 Duo E8xxx or Phenom II X2 should be enough to get the most out of your graphics card in this game. While it is quad-core optimized, the game is not demanding enough on the CPU to warrant it based on what I have seen so far.

[TheMailMan78]

Well my new CPU makes this game scream now. My loading times have been reduced by a few seconds.

A manual update will not fix this issue. I had it two days ago. Heres how to fix it.

1. Go to the BC2 application folder.
2. Locate the "pb" folder.
3. Delete the content of the "pb" folder but DO NOT delete the folder itself.
4. Now you can manually update the PB using this.

After that follow these directions.

i fixed my crashes un- and reinstalling the game

Thats weird, I bought 1942 like 3 months ago and registered it on the Vet site.

I think the Vet sight is just FUBAR, I was only able to register 21, but not bf2 ( didn't try too hard, I got the m1 so who cares?)
