What issues are you having? I'm running a GTX295 and whilst I have the dodgy shadows in SP, I'm nothaving any issues in MP. Everything on high, no AA, low shadows, no motion blur or HDAB.

jsut low framerates and not a big improvement with both GPU's enabled.

o_0 ordered.

+ Added you.

Nice one, was Speedlink though! It's a bargain for the £6 though, especially with free delivery.

Sweet, i'll accept now.

My frame rates aren't too low... but everything just feels jittery and unstable; it kind of feels like the frame rate is slow, but it's not.

Could you please post your driver version, and any changes you've made in the NVidia control panel?

EDIT:
Also, have you flashed your card's BIOS or anything? I've never flashed mine, perhaps this could be the problem? :confused:

Just added you mate.

I am loving the battlechat built in voice, i am also on teamspeak and Mumble but it's just as clear as both of them.

Nice one be on very soon

Does anyone know if stereo mode does anything good but makes the game louder ?

Murray · 27 Oct 2011 at 00:56

what mumble server are people using?

Some of them are, but only a few. The bigger 64 player maps are nice but you can tell DICE has tried to balance them for 24 players on consoles and 32 player for PC and simply tagged on the 64. Pretty sad actually.

I imagine this was what all major BF fans were afraid this was going to happen.
Just means that if you want to play the smaller maps, you jump to a like minded server. Not ideal but at least its an option

Was that the round where I was in the Tunguska? Man I love those things!

Had a mate round tonight and was showing him the ropes, he can't believe how much better the game looks compared to his 360, he would buy it for PC but the problem is he hasn't upgraded since we built his PC for BF2 6 years ago!

Gave MSI Afterburner's video capture a quick whirl, its A LOT less demanding when recording than Fraps which means you can knock the recording quality up more. Heres a few quick clips from when I was testing it on the TFU 64 man server earlier.

Make sure to hit 1080p

Wow, watching that makes me feel that lmg's need a major recoil increase.

I can't help but feel I'll get bored of this game very soon. It's good, but I....I don't even know.

Looks okish to me, he's fighting it.

No, you have to mount to get that level of accuracy, if you increase the recoil while using the bi-pod then it loses the ability to suppress.

I haven't made any changes in the control panel, I'm running 285.62 drivers which were a straight upgrade from the last WHQL released drivers. I get the occasional rubber banding but I put that down to lag rather than card problems.

I'm getting bored of it, the lack of teamplay on the servers is killing it for me at the moment. I'll finish off the SP, and dip into the MP every now and then to see hwo things are. Probably never play it again though unless I force myself to give it a go! Doesn't help I don't know the maps I suppose, always finding myself on my own defending\taking a flag and dying from multiple shots from multiple angles

How do you look around in the cockpit, I'm sure I've seen it done on a vedeo someone posted?!

Deluxe1 · 27 Oct 2011 at 01:15

Goon, can you add this to the first post please:

Arrow keys I think.

There's a freelook option in the controls, don't play aircraft though so don't know what it is off the top of my head.

Hmm that's strange then... it seems to affect some people but not others. What's your GPU's BIOS version (if you'd be kind enough to check for me, please)? To find it, open the nvidia control panel, click help (at the top), system information, and then select one of the cores, and in the other box, scroll down to video bios version.

The BIOS version is: 62.00.45.00.73 (62.00.45.00.72 for other core) I picked up the card not long after launch and I can't recall updating anything since... It has been a while though!

edit: I'm running Windows 7 64-bit home version, with a Q6600 @ 3.6Ghz and 8GB Ram if that's relevant at all.

Hmm, mine's different :confused:

Mine's 62.00.6C.00.01 and 62.00.6C.00.02 for the second core.

Also, it's probably worth mentioning my card is the XFX model.

**** sake. Finally have a good round and I get disconnected / CTD when we are about to take the final set of checkpoints. Had a class squad and was something like 12 / 2.
