That'd be nice. If I may ask what's the source of this info please

The following info was released to GSPs on Thursdays and most if not all server hosts had it forwarded to them via email.

Server r9 coming next week change log

1) * *admin.say command implemented
***************- the output currently looks a bit funky on the game client, like so: ***Player: [Server]: *<text>
***************but with the next game client it will look like: ****Server: <text>


2) * *admin.yell to squad has changed (you need to specify both team and squad)

3) * *squad numbering has changed - the "no squad" squad has ID 0, and real squads are 1 and up.

4) * *Autobalance improved, it shuffles people both during and between rounds now, and does a better job. No way to turn it off via admin interface yet I think.

5) * *mapList* commands reworked

6) * *banList* commands reworked

7) * *listPlayers command added

8) * *admin.listPlayers command reworked (GUID, kills, deaths, ping and score added)

9) * *Players have non-PB GUIDs now (these are distinct from PB GUIDs)

10) * *onChat event reworked
***************- now it specifies target player subset as well
***************- shows text before profanity filtering
***************- client-originated chat messages starting with "/" make it to the server, and broadcast via onChat, but are not broadcast to other game clients
***************- use "/!<command>" if you want to be able to send commands to your homemade rcon tools without showing the commands to other players

11) * *player.onAuthenticated added (it's triggered when a player receives GUID)

12) * *player.onSquadChange, player.onTeamChange implemented

13) * *Couple of crash fixes

14) * *Support for "region" setting

Still no fixes for the pathetic heli controls in this =/

I encourage everyone to watch this vid of the console helis.


Look at how he's circling targets etc, that stuff is impossible in the pc version yet we have the better control system... All we can do is do a strafing run on a tank, lose almost all altitude while doing it (WHY ????), and then take a tank shell up the arse when we pass over it.. :mad: And if we somehow avoid the tank shell at that point we're moving incredibly slow and easy picking for a second shell..again WHY?? And i'll gloss over the fact that it seems to take 38 direct missile hits to destroy a tank in the first place....

pathetic.

Heli controls are pretty much fine, the guy in the video is just seriously pr0.
When they fix mouse smoothing, chopper flying will be much easier :)

Not ever had a problem with snipers, must be something due to the fact that I never go on hardcore servers. Not having a problem with running BC2 on my 5850 accross 2 screens, which is looking promising for the third which I'm going to add.

I'm running on 3x1920x1200 screens and I've had to lower settings slightly.

I do get annoyed by even the tiniest FPS drop though so if you're a little more patient than me you might not have to do the same :)

(I'm on a 5870)
 
was wondering what peoples settings are for a single 5770 and what fps your getting as want to put 1 of them back in my htpc to play on my 50" plasma,
 
I keep seeing posts with folks saying about poor performance with 58xx series cards. I'm running with the following spec:

1GB 4870, Phenom 2 Tri Core @ 3.4GHZ, 4GB DDR3 Ram...i'm guessing that my ram/cpu is taking most of the strain if folks with better cards than me are having performance problems.

I run with all settings completely maxed out at 1680x1050 on a 20 inch screen and get no slowdown at all, entire game runs smooth.
 
I'm enjoying it, only had the game a barely two weeks and I dont get to game as much as I used to (wife and 2 kids) I have some good weaposna dn upgrades and its adding to the game a lot. The thing I am stuggling the most with is the server browser, what a piece of crap that is.

1680 is fairly low res by today's standards, and some people are rocking multi-monitor setups. I wouldn't expect many rigs to have performance issues at 1680 :)

I hope ATI fix the slow loading problem. It takes ages to load a level with a 5870.

Yeah, it is annoying when you finaly get in and the m-coms are already under attack.

Last night i ran the game in DX9 for a few rounds, and found i still had the same dips in FPS but a higer average. Went back to DX10 for all the differance it makes :p
