is that an ATI thing ?

my 480 seems to not worry with 2x AA turned on with all at Ultra

grunt sometimes wins

In that Tom's hardware article it talks about why GTX cards aren't hit by MSAA as much as the Radeon cards.

Could well be, maybe drivers will sort it, but tbh there is not anything worth worrying about even turning AA on to 2x+

Some good games on the XSG server. The player count stayed around the 30 mark which was nice. How does it handle 64?

I was just on there as witcher1979, great games being played.

I've overclocked my memory quite a bit - perhaps that helps - bandwidth wise AA

This is the most fun I've had on my pc since the first day i played world of warcraft.

Gfx are absolutely amazing, engine is a beauty to play around with, shame on ati for the rubbish AA.

Sound brilliant and loving the OCUK server so far.

Anyone else getting severe input lag? After a few rounds my mouse just starts taking ages to respond and I have to restart the game :/

Thanks guys.

I'm a bit of a nerd when it comes to server stability. Love to run the smoothest server I can so will try to keep it updated & running as well as possible.

64-man tonight has been laggy. With that said, I think a lot of servers have been having issues tonight, but I've ticketed our GSP to try to get help from them.

Think i'm going to have to get a headset, loved the sound so much i didn't realise how loud i'd been playing all week until the neighbours chapped the door to moan earlier lol.

Really enjoying the game now that my connection issues seem to have been sorted out. Turns out UPNP was not disabled on my router, though I thought it was. Done some research on this and it looks like this is mainly happening with people who have cheapo routers. Mine is a Thompson 585. Luckily disabling UPNP sorted out all the disconnecting.

Feel free to add me on Battlelog ("Flyingpig1848"), don't have any Origin friends and would like to do some team play at some point (still exploring maps and getting owned...)

Nope if you read across the internet there's a very large amount having the same trouble

Compared with the 10 million people playing it ?

I don't think so.

Pighardia · 28 Oct 2011 at 23:48

A mate of mine came round to see what the fuss was about today and the first thing he said was how brilliant the sound was. I am thining of getting a good headset as well, if i don't win one first

What a great game, I wasn't sure at first but the graphics are great and I have everything as high as they will go at 1080 except for motion blur turned off, I have not measured how many fps i am getting but I have not noticed any problems, runs smooth as silk.
Also the sound effects are amazing, just needs some more bigger maps with helis and tanks

ThunderLicker · 29 Oct 2011 at 00:03

Really enjoying this, just need to get more consistant, sometimes I do ok, other times i completely suck!

dmcg · 29 Oct 2011 at 00:04

The gun play is way too cod like (easy) imo they need to add some more recoil on a lot of weapons

teaboy5 · 29 Oct 2011 at 00:07

Who is dave on here?

I will get your tag's soon.

Just been on 2 for the first time after testing setting and getting the right fps. The server ran nice and smooth, a lot smoother than most, now I'm set up will be on there hammering all weekend!

I bet you are one of the download and not hard copies. Only you download early guys have all the issues. Hard copies seem to play just fine.

I've spent basically a day and a half getting this game to work and I bought a hard copy.

And I had zero issues with the alpha and beta, apart from the actual bugs in the maps.
