Mines Steam version and it updated about an hour ago, along with Marineborns. I'm not sure what happened to the Grand, I barely ever seen that thing before, now I was getting killed and everyone had it. Seems to 2 shot people anywhere in the body. The matches after the patch were just intense gameplay, gave me a headache, not sure if it was the patch, but just tough and insane matches. Any round I played with buildings resulted in every single building being leveled at the end of every single round.

I am reading about lots of "issues" resulting from the patch, some good but many bad, at least stabbing seems to work properly again but many are reporting "slowdowns" in movement and gameplay, a few reported that when they turn around it's almost like it's in slowmotion where as running forward is fine, I can't update mine until tonight so in the meantime I will be interested to see how people are finding the patch here.

Yeah I have been getting lag but couldn't tell if it was server lag as my ping was around the usual 75 or something to do with the patch:confused: and I got some jerkiness:shadedshu now again:cry:

My first impressions of the patch - knife bug is fixed, Hitboxes are fixed when shooting someone who is running, the chat and game messages during the game are in different places (the chat is now in the upper left corner and it has chat history while the who-kill-who messages are in the right corner of the screen). There may be other changes but i dont have time right now so if you spot anything else post it

They fixed the stats for the garand so now everyone's running around getting stars for it. Dunno if they've boosted it too, don't think there was anything in the patch-notes about it atleast. The queue for joining a full server is a nice addition too, very useful.

You get more points for capturing, defusing and planting too, guess they wanted people to focus more on the objectives than just run around playing deathmatch...

OK if you were running the mouse fix for the turrets and stuff. it is not disabled i think. when the update finished my controls were jacked up so i re did the dbx files and it still doesnt work so i guess DICE said no to the faster turrets

Pressing the tilde "~" key should contract/expand the size of the new chat window.

It crashed once for me this morning when my Yahoo Mesg kept showing new messages and forced my game to window mode. After a few alt-tab the game crashed.

I closed the messenger and it didn't happen again (played straight 3 rounds).

All the servers seem more laggy now than before the patch.

Anyone think the same or is it just me.

Played on 3 different servers and all were rubberbanding.

I saw somewhere that EA's master servers are going to need about 24 hours before the lag issue is gone. Right after the update I had lag. One short game I played today had zero lag and zero issues all together.

I have seen a number of people recommending shutting down BFBC2, deleting your My Documents\BFBC2 folder, then re-run BFBC2, as a way to improve performance. The game will create new settings files for you.

Of course you will have to re-configure everything.

You will also lose SP save games and Favorite servers. YMMV.

Yeah this is a great place to start (good general software troubleshooting). If having the updated game create clean settings files doesn't fix anything for you just put back your original folder. Haven't had a chance to try the patch yet myself.
