Poll: ****Official Battlefield Bad Company 2 Thread*****

Well, got in at 5pm and started the install. Update failed once then took 2 hours to download. Finally got in but can't connect to any servers, cant even host a game on my own to try it out (not able to and no single player vs bots). Started single player to test out the fps but fraps won't show the overlay and its not modern warfare like the multiplayer...good so far then..

SIGH

I can't see any servers at all, is it my setup or are other people having this issue?

did you use the updatelauncher in program files? I made the stupid mistake of forgeting that I'd seen it and was trying to connect with out of date files

I get the connection errors but it usually connects after 4-6 tries, my name is 'craig3000' if anyone wants to add

Guys , If I have Pre Loaded on Steam will it unlock at 00:01 Tomorrow Morning ?

Guys the hardcore server has 8 people on jump on

Look for in browser

HARDCORE | UK | PUBLIC @ TFU/OCUK

Carnt find it through searching in the browser, also the above is too long for the search box.

Is there spaces in it or is it all in one?, as just searching HARDCORE brings up servers but yours isnt there.

It should do

I think most games you pre load on steam don't just unlock, I mean it will but you will have to go through a small setup process where it decrypts some stuff and installs a few extra bits, hopefully it will be painless

I was wondering the same. It does state this game will unlock in 5 hours. Is that for those in the PST zone?

Yes I did (twice), but then a revelation, run the updater as administrator was my friend! Thanks for the tip.

The multiplayer is FUBAR at the moment.

You are aware it displays unlock times relative to your timezone right? It should unlock at midnight GMT depending on Valve. Given that its preloaded and theres a schedule to keep it shouldn't be too much of a problem to stick to the timeframe.

5 hours for them is also 5 hours for us

 

[twoodster]

Even the BETA didn't put the servers under this much load.

Are they seriously surprised that the full game is more popular than a BETA that only a select amount of people could gain access to?

 

[lokkers]

I had the same problem i phoned EA support and they sent me an email with the serial key. number was 08702432435 shuts at 9pm i think so hurry.

Excellent - just done that and spoke to a nice Yank who's emailed me my key

[gizmoy2k]

Im sure things will calm down, at least we have dedis to wait on

 

[dmcg]

[pumaz]

Meh, just doubles gun damage and removes hud elements.
