Ah, I might completely remove both then reinstall then. I've only got about 10GB free on C!

installed and played first round found it brilliant fun, initial impressions are promising and it ran on my 460GTX flawlessly without the new nVidia drivers.

Q : How do I change my resolution and other settings ingame ?

_ST · 29 Sep 2011 at 14:57

Well I have installed it. However as soon as I try to join a server it says server is full. Yet shows it is not. Even after refreshing quickly and joining a server with 20 players out of 32 it still says full :confused:

You can change them once you are in a game

Wait until you are alive and hit Esc > Options.

That will be standard procedure for the next few days. It was busy on open beta night. Tonight will be ridiculous.

I have a Q6600 @ 2.8
Same RAM
NV GTX 460

I run most things on low @ 1920x1200, still looks good, but if you up the settings too much the FPS starts going as low as 20 in some places. So a 460 is the minimum required I would say.

Press K to bring it up. Obviously you can bind it to something else if you want

Thanks. However, I couldn't find where I can bind it. Wasn't listed in the controls.

Just spawned and couldn't move. Thought this was a beta were basic stuff was meant to work...

pooley · 29 Sep 2011 at 14:59

Downloading now, I can imagine the servers been full hopefully I can get on one

your on a 8800.........

to be fair it says it's minimum spec, so it should be playable on that, albeit looking a bit crap

anyone else's origin just show a blank screen when trying to display the "store page"?

mattyfez · 29 Sep 2011 at 15:01

Managed to play a game and have a quick fiddle with graphics, i think im coping well to be fair, everything on high, with low ammoutnts of AA etc @1080 res

[email protected], GTX285, 4 gb ram

it does feel a bit clunky though compared to bad company 2, not sure if thats my hardware struggling or just the feel of the game, it seems to run fairly smooth

Wynthorpe · 29 Sep 2011 at 15:02

The store isnt loading at all for me on Origin, or if i try the Origin pages.

eekfek · 29 Sep 2011 at 15:02

thanks for the replies, now to just get in a server !!

seems the buddy list is offline...
