My 4870x2 has some strange effects on water and some surfaces, I think it may be an ATI card issue. Hopefully they will sort it out after one of the 10.? driver releases.

Have you got it forced to dx9?

That adds a texture flicker bug and makes the sheild heavy mg glass opaque.
 
BAd Company - No Server Ping

Hi,

I have had problems loading BC2 on my PC to start with. So once I got round that i thought i was up and running. Until I tried to play on Multi Ply !
I can not ping any servers at all !
I have turn off Anti Virus & Fire Wall, restarted in MS clean. nothing works !
I can not get in my rounter settings to open ports as per EA's suggestions !
Below is a screen shot of what i see.

EA inform me that Ports 80, 18390, 18395, 13505, are TCP out going
UDP out going are 18395

How ever friends of my have just installed it and can play. Though they do have problems with Punk Buster and being lock out when in teams !

any advice on this please.

Many thanks
 
have you updated the game if you go to the folder where the game is and use the icon that says BFBC2Updater that sorted mine when i had that problem.
 
There's a huge 70 odd page thread on AMD's forums about grey screen crashes, they released a driver which was meant to fix it but didn't really work for most people.
 
Anyone notice that when your at the weapons screen it can be jerky with the windows coming up and spawn times take ages even though people are already in the game. im using a 4870x2 with 10.3
 
Just for the book I have a 5970 and my flickering seems to be that water and glass (in windows) flickers annoyingly.

Don't know why. When I first start playing it seems perfect, then sometime afterwards it starts flickering and doesn't stop without reset :(

I have run the Updater.exe and i am now able to ping the servers.
The only problem I have is the sky some times goes really bright and I can hardly see any thing for a short while !
Some time the sea scenes do this as well ! !

Is this normal ! ?

Hmm turn the brightness down in game and see if it clears up abit. Might be the glare bug which is truly awful on some levels.
 
I did turn the brightness turn in the game options menu. However the brightness is still there in the game.
So if this is the Glare Bug, then i suppose i will just have to wait for a fix from EA !
I can not believe EA have not sorted these bugs sooner !
As multi play is what these type of games are all about.

Amazingly EA didn't even pick up on it until there was enough complaint posts on their forums regarding it lol. Even more amazingly, they don't actually class it as a serious problem, although it makes using a russian tank/heli on the desert levels next to impossible as you simply cannot see **** :(
 
I was in russian APC and i could not see much at all ¬
Also on the harbour map i could not see much from the sea / sky when i was running towards to sea.
