Doubt it tommorow is release day about 70% of everybody else who had it on preorder will be playing tommorow, if anything it will be much worse ;)


On a brighter note the guy on EA live chat helped me with my bad company veteran problem and it works woop!! :D

To balance this up though, the servers rented for the UK players will go live and I imagine a lot more European ones.
IF Dice manage to have a release day without problems or busy servers then I'd quite honestly tip my hat to them.

I've on the otherhand only had very few problems.. I can normally find a server quite easily, PB chucked me out a few times but I did what the ticker tape said at the bottom of the BC2 screen and uninstalled BETA and downloaded the PB client, so thats all fixed.

MY only problem is I cant play SP on my native res.. but this could well be my struggling 4850... MP works fine.

One gripe about this game and thats passed over from the BETA would be the mousewheel changing weapons.. why cant mouse wheel up and mouse wheel down be programmed.
How many times I've mousewheeled up, thinking a quick swap to pistol to finish off the guy 20 yards away and ended up standing there in front of him waving a lump of C4 or a defib kit :S
 
I just downloaded it from direct2drive, and the thing literally required updating straight away - hilarious if you ask me...haha

Either way, yeah... It's working fine from D2D for me and I'm running a GTX260 on Windows 7, etc etc... Quad Core, 8GB of RAM, standard set up really. So go for it!

That wasn't the problem as far as Im aware its a glitch they are sorting, many other people I asked in game can't get it either. The problem I was having was one linking my 360 gamertag to ea account and therefore two not being able to register my bad company 1 as veteran status, sorry to disappoint they are fixing the m1 garand though, I'd be optimistic saying it would be working tommorow but you'd be more looking next week sometime

I've just played a few games now and it's fine but obviously its 2:30am so its bound to be, I've seen a few UK servers already i think, I agree about the mouse wheel also I played the demo on 360 and it was no problem to crouch, tab it on and tab it off but on PC you have to hold it down it really starts to hurt the pinky :p I like to crouch, I hope they have the option to tab it on and off in an update

I just played a few of the singleplayer missions, but now that I wan't to try multiplayer it is stuck in 'updating stats' after I exited singleplayer :(
 
Couple of random PB kicks, the usual but only once is 3 hours everyone stops and then I get booted and the rest, fine!

I only game at 1680x1050 but my 8800 GTS 640 is now showing its age. Sadly I need to wait for pay day for a new GFX card AND I can't play the game for a whole week thanks to house sitting in the sticks.

My body armor problem was fixed...

Was playing for an hour or so, the game CTD'd. I reloaded the game and it said it was unlocked... weird indeed.
 
Its decent, aside from the ****ing annoying fact they removed all the basic gear and made you unlock it. Getting sick of being killed by vehicles at long range because you can't morta strike it...

Getting good at this bullet drop lark, think this is my best one yet (that I've noticed) he was bloody miles away!

Bullet drop is fun, but there is a lot less movement/blur in the scope and the bullets don't seem to drop as much. Makes life easier but a little less fun.

But dear God man, what is going on with your FOV? its like a fish eye lens.
 
Any idea how this will run on my rig?

** I've played the campaign a little on a mates similar spec, it was a little laggy but he hadn't optimized it **

Can you changed the more advanced settings with a config or such?
