Use a different browser and reinstall the app. Also make sure you're not using Avast!

I'll give it another go, and i use MSE.

Since I downloaded the 11.10 drivers my Framerate has dropped from 45-60 to 25-35.

Anyone else?

The thing is, I'm not going to run around screaming "I'm better than you." I'm not even good at this game to be frank, but the last games I had the teams were appalling. I mean really bad, defending and attacking!

Game gets more fail.

@zh1nt0 can u guarantee that squad the systems will fixed for the full game? I.e voice chat and the constant splitting of squad? Thank
@TRansfersmania Voice chat and squadding will be on the battlelog side of things

You can't create a squad on the server, you can't join a squad of your choice on the server, this has killed the game for me, something as important as squad functionality has been dumbed down and kicked in the dirt. BF2 has squads perfect yet they yet again ignore excellent features of the previous game and give us console worthy features.

This annoys me.

Everyone still moaning about the BETA? Jesus Christ people, the internet is ridiculously fickle.

A game BETA has been brought out and people are moaning about every little thing. I'm willing to bet at least 50% of the things people are complaining about here will be addressed in the full release, if not very shortly after with a few patches.

There hasn't been one battlfield game in recent times where you haven't been able to create/join/pick a squad. It won't be dictated by the browser because even if you join a party now in a server it still don't guarantee you a squad. It's just cut down game mechanics for the BETA.

I have been reasonably impressed so far. Yeah, it's buggy but I accept that and have faith that things will get sorted.

The amount of slating going around the internet at this time is quite ridiculous.

Well let's just hope the party feature actually works at release. When 3 or 4 of us try to connect it just spews out lots of problems, and when we finally connect NONE of us are in the same squad.

I really don't understand why developers seem to leave out the best bits from previous games in their new ones.

You have to be alive. Just prone somewhere and then ESC > Settings/Options. Most of the key bindings aren't optimal in the beta.

ScoTTyBEEE · 1 Oct 2011 at 11:48

I'm just constantly "Matchmaking", only played 1 game so far.

i got to this part but when i try to edit the mouse bindings nothing happens, it works with keyboard though maybe its only in the beta version.

You can't bind any mouse buttons unfortunately. Only way right now is to use the mouse software to set a button to a keystroke.

DEL 707 · 1 Oct 2011 at 11:55

yeah, you can't edit your mouse at the moment

As much as I like Metro as a rush map, does anyone else feel the same that BC2's rush maps were far far larger and more open/less funnelled? Port Valdez on the BC2 beta gave a much more epic first impression.
