Can't see pings? Haven't heard of that one before - they're all on there, even if they seem like 100+ too high... it's just the scoreboard is a bit messed, but it is there. I think it goes name; kills; deaths; ping ; score. :)

I am and that is what i have tried, it just didn't give me the option to 'run as admin' :confused:

I am right in saying it shows pings in the game and not just in the server browser right? (Im sure that's what i read!)

Damm it LOL, there is no in-game ping only in the server browser, LOL sorry I completely forgot

>.< Erm well whoever is admin of the computer, telll them or login to their account and promote yourself to adminstrator via control panel and you should have access to the same rights as 'running in admin mode' would give you, if that fails to work then it must be unrelated to admin mode

Still on XP or something?


In Win7 for example, you can be the admin of a PC, but that doesn't mean all apps run as admin.

As for the original question, you do have to run as admin to see pings (no idea why) but I have no idea how to do that on steam.
 
Yeah i see the ping in the server browser fine, but thought i read that you need to be admin (which i am) to see it in game (on the scoreboard with Tab) Or did i miss read? :)

Oh I didn't know that, nah I'm on W7

Just realised there is no in-game ping at all, as it was not added to the game in the first place, not sure why but DICE only have it in the server browser, so question answered
 
just had an amazing 6v6 game. unlocked quite a lot of stuff for the vehicles & engineer class :) gotta goto the shops for something so when i get back time for more bc2 :) love the game when you get a good match!

Ah, Was afraid you'd say that! Sees a bit mad for an online FPS...

Ta anyway.
 
IM REALLY CONFUSED NOW WITH THIS IN-GAME PING THING

I thought there wasn't in-game ping at all, I'm sure many people here posted so a while back but if you type it in on google it comes up with people talking about in-game ping

confused anyone? lol I have a non steam copy so I'll try running admin mode and see what happens, post back in a minute

Doesn't mention in game ping but does mention auto updates which failed to run with the first update which i did manually so I guess it helps http://www.fpsadmin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=19779

Because there is absolutely no need for it in-game?

You find a server with a low ping...and join. Job done.

Yeah I agree but I just run in admin mode and there is an in-game ping but the whole find a low ping server and join is rather false

I joined a 32 ping servers and my actual in-game ping was around 150 and all other players were over 100 at least -.-

yep why worry about everyone elses ping you cant control it ;) so check yours before joining and enter :D

Not worried about anybody else but server browser list reports 32 and in-game reports 150? Which is right and if it's the in-game that is correct, know wonder that I've joined so many games and had some people kill me with a couple of shots or what it appears to be at my end

I thought servers were meant to be amazing with their low pings etc, might as well be playing p2p
 
Interesting how the poll has turned out. I voted for "Hardcore conquest" and I nearly always play on normal Rush mode servers. The attack/defend dynamic really makes the game much more exciting to play.
 
I have the steam version and to check pings I did NOT have to run the BFBC2 exe as admin, I did however have to run Steam itself as admin (I am on Win7 btw)

When I run Steam as admin, I do get the pings in the game.
