to fix the account, you need to know all the details you made the account with, and have access to the original email account. Steam cant go giving accounts back, resetting passwords and such and handing the details out to just anyone... or the account thiefs would use that system to steal your accounts.

I've heard of people with that info not able to get their accounts back, and the games having too many times being reinstalled is still valid. Theres no getting around it, Steam has account issues that will come (if they ever do) before allowing gifting of old games to others.

Well so far, I think the game will be worth my $49.99 even without Single Player. Details in the stage like the snowy fog from wind, the war going on in the city behind the map, Frostbyte 2.0, etc are all great. I am nearly completely satisfied. I still say the Thompson will be nearly pointless once the M14k for all kits is unlocked, but that is me.

Major issues for me:
Save kits locally so they stay the same until changes (Sure it will be added for retail)
Toggle for crouch as option (dido)
Few server options, like filtering before initial loading, load faster, sort listings (dido)

Anybody here have any major quirks? Outside the issues with possible driver and GPU concerns.

C4 lag. Frantically hitting the detonate button multiple times to no avail only to see it explode like 30/40 seconds later.

Exiting vehicles. If I spawn on a vehicle I can't immediately exit it. I have to wait a few (~5) seconds.

Being knifed from 1 meter away (yes, not exaggeration) or failing a close range knifing because the f***ing game locked on something, hell if I know what, and the view snapped in another direction.

Impossible suicides. Minding my business, running towards an objective or whatever and then, out of the blue, "You committed suicide". WTF?! One time I got that 3 times in the same match.

I think almost all of these issues can be attributed to server lag. Delay when exiting vehicles and activating C4 only happens to me when I play in laggy servers.

Anyone up for some games?

How is your CPU and GPU usage now?

EDIT: I can't actually play until 8:00ish EST.

Yep, me and a friend just jumped in a game, I'll hop on TS

Lets me download the new version of Presicion, 'cause the old one stopped working after the update for some reason.

boise49ers · Feb 19, 2010

It won't let me update . Says it could not find patch and there might be an internet problem or server is down.
I tried going into the file system and running the updater as administrator and it still wouldn't patch it.
Could it be a 64 bit problem ? Any suggestions ?

H82LUZ73 · Feb 19, 2010

you have steam ? mine did the update yesterday no problem.Try the updater in the game folder as a admin.

AphexDreamer · Feb 19, 2010

Same here. I have win 7 64 bit using steam and still haven't gotten the update.

Click the game desktop icon and run as admin. It will work as I had the same issues with MW2. A friend of mine has the steam version and it updated easy. That should fix the issue.

I checked the update date on my game yesterday and it said Feb 4th as well so I think you should be OK. Mine updated automatically when I opened Steam and a I got a hug performance boost from the patch and Cat 10.2.

Ok good to hear. I tested it real quick on 4x aa and still get a good 45 fps. can't wait to play later to day.

Just Updated to a 5770 card, is there DX11 option setting yet for the Beta? Or is it suppose to default?

Marineborn · Feb 19, 2010

Btw i hate everyone in this thread and for good reason. ....*glares*

DX11 will be enabled by default if available. In "C:\%user\documents\BFBC2\setting.ini" you can force DX versions and other graphic/sound settings not available in the game's menu.

I completely understand and I don't think it's fair that you have been screwed over for BOTH betas. :shadedshu

isnt the beta dx10 only?

That is what I thought but I believe I was wrong and DX11 is in the beta but the game itself will only include DX11 in the use of soft shadows and performance optimizations. Tessellation will not be in BFBC2.

shevanel · Feb 19, 2010

ahh i see. i hope the game looks better in the final release than in the beta though.. i cant play it for long due to the choppy textures. im sure the final will be better and its prbobaly just the snow map that bothers me.

AphexDreamer · Feb 19, 2010

I think this game suffers from a memory leak. Game starts off fine then starts to stutter and gets worse the longer I play.

7.62 · Feb 19, 2010

I hope they fix the kit swapping while trying to arm/disarm the MCOM stations. I have died a few time cause of this.

I'll check this out a little more carefully tonight when I play. Last night I didnt notice any performance drop-off.
