Nice gunning this evening :toast:

You're hitting 99% occasionally but it looks like your averaging between 80-90%. Still better than what I saw tonight. Even running the game on a clean install didn't make a difference. I'm completely stumped.

Yeah, I finally got my Air Warfare pin, previous to tonight I've only had I think 7 kills from that chopper.

But yeah, your GPU use does seem low, kinda of strange, I feel your pain though, I'm still tryign to figure out the crash. I do think it's the audio, but it needs a bit more testing, and if it is I'm kinda SOL and will have to run audio through the vid cards (which I was testing tonight).

kurgan is your stuff still freezing bro? it's good to see someone else having this god forsaken issue!! it's been driving me insane, i'd list all of the shit i've tried to fix it but i won't bore you. what i think the issue is possibly related to punkbuster and realtek drivers, there's a 170+ page thread on EA, and most of them are probably guys w/ unstable rigs, but there are a few there that seem to know their stuff. i've test my rig w/ everything from linx, to prime95(24 hours), furmark, occt gpu, etc etc. it's very annoying. can you let me know if you figure out what's causing your stuff to freeze?

Yes it was today, but then I switched to pushing my audio out through my 5850's and I didn't have any crashes, I also went into the device manager and flat out disabled my Realtek audio. I only got to test about an hour like that, but it was working. So I suggest giving that a shot if you haven't yet. I don't think I will have time to play tomorrow or Thursday to test anymore, maybe Friday.

travva · May 5, 2010

well, im trying the 2.46 driver like trip suggested. i don't have any hdmi stuff on my crappy monitor so i have to go w/ this for now. let me know though man if you play for hours and it doesn't freeze. if so it might be time for me to buy a new sound card. curiously, what kind of mobo did you get w/ your new setup? or it's the same one?

johnnyfiive · May 5, 2010

dang it, sc2 is taking up my time! i need to get back on the bc2 train.

travva · May 5, 2010

hmm, looks like gigabyte just posted an update on their site for the realtek hd audio, and it's 2.46! man if this made bc2 more stable i'd be a happy camper.

Still using my GD-70, and I tried Realtek 2.46, was looking good, but then I got a crash after about 45min, which was a way longer time than previous crashes so I figured that wasn't bad. So I rebooted my comp, hoped in the game and crashed in about 30 seconds, which was way faster than I ever had before, so they didn't fix anything for me, hopefully they do for you.

Mussels · May 5, 2010

so all you crashers are on realtek? are you using their EAX emulater?

travva · May 5, 2010

not using any emulator that i know of mussels. just the normal drivers for me. man this blows. im gonna try to go play for awhile and see what happens. i even took my router out of the equation (i've got 2 routers so i'm double nated). maybe that has something to do w/ some weird punkbuster shit trying to phone home.

kid41212003 · May 5, 2010

Sometime it freezes sometime it's not. Usually during loading or the first few seconds after it loaded. And I didn't change drivers or anything since I installed this game...

EDIT: I still have the process stuck in taskmanager after closing the game.

1Kurgan1 · May 5, 2010

^^^ Fav weapon M60! I always remember you as Assault, have you converted?

Also I did manage to get out of 1 crash today. I was alt tabbed out on TPU and then my typing lagged out, but it finally appeared like 10 seconds later. I opened task manager to see if anything was not responding, and everything looked good. So I clicked back on BC2, it went full screen and all it did was flash black then white black then white, over and over, I swear I almost went into a seizure, I was able to alt tab out and close it though.

kid41212003 · May 5, 2010

That was like months ago before the major patch. I got over 600 kills with it, the weapon with most kills.

I started with Assault, then Recon, Medic, and Engineer. I'm playing Engineer the most now. Fav kit: Engineer, fav weapon: M60, isn't that weird?

Easy Rhino · May 5, 2010

a bug in the latest ubuntu upgrade pretty much locked up the entire server. TS will be down for only a few hours.

Did you change your spec for the M60 after the nerf? I use to use the health pack spec in slot 1 and the accuracy spec in slot 2, but now I have to use magnum ammo. Also I too have been playing Eng a lot, I just love the PP2000.

Nick89 · May 5, 2010

So did they nerf any of the sniper rifles? or shotguns?

M95 got nerfed by decreasing the rang of 1 hit kills I believe.

The 40mm SGN had the damage decreased per pellet/dart.

I'm always using magnum + LW, and I only play Medic in Rush mode and attacker side. I mostly use the MG36 now, it has low recoil and a nice scope.

OnBoard · May 5, 2010

So all bronze means vehicles/stationary weapons too?

Finally hit bronze on all weapons but no insignia. http://bfbcs.com/stats_pc/OnBoard

For realtek drivers I'm using 6.0.1.5973, not quite sure what 2.xx number that would be. These are dated 3.11.2009.
^^ I don't crash ever, forgot to mention.

SNiiPE_DoGG · May 5, 2010

maybe you need the 40mm SGN?

Black Haru · May 5, 2010

according to lemode, that insignia is glitched.

I may be on today (I really hope so) but life kinda hates BC2 right now.

Magnum ammo no longer works on sniper rifles at long range. No matter what it will always be a 2 hit weapon. Magnum ammo may give you a 1 hit kill at short range. So if you are still using it for your sniper rifle, pick something else. At long range you won't notice a difference. Head shots are still 1 hit and you don't need magnum ammo for that.

Aside from you missing the 40mm shotgun bronze star…both the all bronze and weapon bronze insignias are broken it’s a known bug.

OK, seems I need to aim for 2 platinums then

(and maybe start choosing 40mm shotty, was more usefull in BF2142, as support only had a shotgun)

Oh there is a new row of pins too :-o SPECACT stuff, hmm, what ever that is. Assault SPECACT Knowledge <- 4 new insignias too.
