Fixed it, it was adaptive vsync even with vsync turned off in game options, it would stutter judder really badly, turned off adaptive and just used vsync+triple buffer and it was perfectly smooth. Well apart from TWO cheats on the same server, using aim assist each one on different team. You could see him going left right very fast and getting quick kills one after another.

Really is a shame that DICE/PB has let both BF3 and BFBC2 down in actually banning them for a good(NOT a stat wipe).
 
They wont ban them, theyre customers who will buy more dlc content. A stat wipe is nothing to theese guys, even after a 3 strike ban, theyll buy the game and do it all over again. Dice and ea love the hackers for this, keeps the money rolling in.

In bfbc2, funnily when i last had it installed a few weeks ago, it was playing perfectly, 32xaa all details on max. Sadly i cant reinstall it as i cant find my disk.

check origin as i can download the digital copy of bfbc2 for free. It must have dedected that i owned the game as all my ea titles are linked to 1 ea account. In my games folder i have all the games i bought when ea downloader was out too. Try that.

edit: my copy of bfbc2 is a retail copy.

How do you make Battlelog use IE instead of Firefox? apart from making one the default browser... or is that the only way?
 
Really not sure what the point of the server update was, AA missiles are still iffy at best and aircraft can still easily evade them with turns. Add in this "under the radar" bs combined with the rest of the aircraft gimmickry and the general terrain of most maps and aircraft still have plenty of ways to avoid the missiles while laying waste to anything that moves.

Does anyone else gets lots of weird audio bugs? Sometimes the sound seems to cut out for a few seconds at a time, theres been times where ive been using a tow launcher and its making sounds id associate more with the LAV, even when i got off the launcher it waws still whirring, clunking and clicking away, when i came back to it a few mins later it was doing the same thing.

Theres also times where you can go past the area when an rpg has been fired previously and for whatever reason the game plays the audio of the rocket flying past you like its just been fired. :confused:

That's not true to be honest. I've basically quite flying because of the update. I didn't get dropped once last night by another Jet, but I found it very difficult to stay in the air given that everything was locking onto me and in my experience it's almost impossible to outrun heat seekers (which should have not been possible). Since the major update they have changed how sharp you can turn, meaning that you can't dodge heat seekers as easily. Combine that with the fact that you can't drop other planes as quickly, often I would find myself in a dogfight, not being able to break away, getting locked onto multiple times and simply being blown out of the sky.

I'm my opinion jets have become a skill-less vehicle to keep the noobs happy. It's a shame because it used to take allot of skill to take them down (in another jet). And when you put the time into something, why shouldn't you be able to reap the benefits? I'm sure Tingle, who also has a few hours would agree with me.

What they should have done IMO, is reduce the damage of rocket pods or increase tank strength and/or their counter measures. Not change the way the jets fly because players wouldn't put in the hours to learn how to break turn. I think some of the vehicle haters forget that battlefield is not COD, however I do agree that Jet's were way to overpowered. Regarding Helicopters, now they are massively overpowered, given that Jets can not as easily take them out.

Finally what really ****es me off, is that they have made all these changes without fixing stuff like the netcode and many other core system bugs that sometimes make this game a nightmare.

I agree.
Any half decent Jet pilot is now virtually untouchable.
Even AA guns point-blank into cockpit no longer kill the pilot.
Makes Jets way OP now
 
How about get some skill don't use heatseekers and actually use the gun on mobile AA when u can lead ya target properly u can rape jets in under a second! Its always bad players that moan!

Also heatseekers own now! little tip for ya! Don't fire both at the same time! :)

I don't see whats not true about it, before this server update all you had to do to outrun stingers was fly in a straight line with afterburners on and they just exploded behind you virtually every single time. Theres a video on youtube after the client side patch showing a pilot flying towards the stingers launch point and the missile just exploded on the helicopter and done no damage. After the client side patch people could lock on all they wanted, the missiles were bugged badly and rarely if ever hit.

Earlier today i was using the lav-d and seen jets outmanouvering my aa missiles, something that was supposed to have been addressed but of course with dice its usually the opposite of what they say. The few times i did get hits it seems to take 2 direct hits to disable an aircraft now, i got a couple of 2 hit kills but ive no idea what health the aircraft had at that point. Shoulder launched stingers are probably the most pointless thing in the game as their range means you've literally to be knocking on the aircraft canopy to get a lock.
