Bad Company 2 Beta

[ez64]

True but theres this new technology that involves a separate card for processing graphics data on a slot card just for those people that want the light effect, bit leetist tbh I cannot see it catching on for the mainstream.

anyone up for a get-together on this one tonight?

[Chalex4]

I would love to, but I'm going out tonight . Definitely within the next few days though.

Gyarr, I wish I had a code v_v I'm gonna pre-order this instead of MW2/New screen. I can live with a CRT.

Your eyes will not forgive you

Good game so far, just having a few problems.


Getting a massive graphical glitch in terms of what looks like extreme artifacting, but I've had EVGA precision running to monitor the temps, the max I saw was 85C so forces 100% fan speed and got it down to around 78C, yet I still get these apparent artifacts :/.


Settings are all on high, have tried x16AF x8AF and x2 and x4 AA.

Any ideas anyone?

Phantom, what drivers are you running for your GTX280 if you don't mind me asking?

[ez64]

might want to try and use beta drivers if possible they are normally far better.

I'm still on 185.85's lol. Didn't update as they have stable as a rock for me so far.

The problem is your card is made by nvidia

Get an ATi card and all will be well :P

Also - where can i get teh beta for this????

[D_K_Head]

ton of downloads over the net, and a few torrents too. Be careful with the torrents though, I've heard there are some nasty ones floating around

I'm on 195.81, try turning Level Of Detail down to low, that really helped my performance.

[Chalex4]

I think I'm going to have to start putting some of my settings on low, I'm getting a pretty low FPS when everything blows up .

Either that or I'll grab a 5850. Hmmm..

Is what I use. Runs 60+ most of the time except big firefights.

[Chalex4]

What file do you put those settings in Phantom? I had a quick look but couldn't find it.

Also, is the BC2 updater saying that there's a new update available? I try to update to the latest version (512914) but then it just says "Could not find latest patch version" and lets me play the "old" version (511270). Oh well .
