Yeah im getting random flashing white screens occasionally, pretty distracting but when i boot the game it tells me i must use 285 nvidia drivers but the latest stable are 280 i guess it wants me to use betas for some reason?

to be fair they only have 4 weeks to fix, so i reckon there wont be many changes

more hours of work+ people report bugs to make it easier to iron them out = fixed on release

I think on ultra setting it did not happen but need to test that out some more.

teaboy5 · 27 Sep 2011 at 22:46

Is there a way of preloading the beta on origin?

Support class seems to suck, unless it's just me? Is the M249 worth getting?

I have been playing as support, think it's quite good really. Have over a 1 for 1 KD ratio and it's a good point builder as everyone is normally assault needing ammo.

Yep not sure what doing yet though

Yep, also 5870 here.

A **** map with no vehicles would be my guess

I don't think its even that, there is just something about it that just feels like a step backwards from BC2 or MOH. I expected it to look better than it does.

And if anybody has any idea how the grenade launcher works, drop me a line.

You have to spawn first.

Looks good on my system in eyefinty.

Joining a server is incredibly annoying. You'd think this would be sorted by now since it's a Beta!!!

Seen the screens you posted up Gerard, first time ive used side scrolling on my mouse in ages.

Thats a lot of desktop real estate.

ScarySquirrel · 27 Sep 2011 at 22:52

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU- Finally get in a game, then it disconnects within 5 seconds

WingZero30 · 27 Sep 2011 at 22:52

The graphics settings indeed take an effect when you change from attacker to defender and vice versa.

So for anyone changing to high or ultra settings after having joined server for the first time, finish the session. Then wait when you are placed in the opposing team. that's when you will see your FPS taking a hit

Btw it is being said that Ultra setting is actually not implemented in beta. :eek:

makes me think that this game may well be even more demanding than crysis

Greg0986 · 27 Sep 2011 at 22:53

Beta and it randomly crashes? That is meant to happen in the alpha. Minecraft doesn't even crash in beta and I hack the hell out of it

There's something about it that just doesn't feel as immersive as the BC2 Beta. Can't put my finger on it.
