Jabbs · 10 Apr 2010 at 22:12

Very rare i get beat into a round on the game on a 5870

matthab · 10 Apr 2010 at 22:22

With my current rig im always the first onto a server. Running 10.3 drivers here.

Brizzles · 10 Apr 2010 at 22:41

Same thing here.

GTX285 - DX10 - First in game

5850 - DX11 - Always late

10.3b drivers.

Cheers, i'll give it a try.

Do i just install it with my current 10.3b drivers ?

{SAS}TB · 10 Apr 2010 at 22:58

i did and it solved the rolling lines and flickering

ultrakipper · 10 Apr 2010 at 23:04

We need a driver update or a game update to fix this , i have a 4870x2 and everybodys half way across the map when i start, Except for other ati users that is !!

I run 10.4 betas (i think) with openGL 4 Beta and I'm normally one of the first in the game.. My set-up is in my sig.

Yeah I'm usually late into the game even with an ssd and a 5870, hoping 10.4's will sort it out.

lol at this

it is the game and DX 11

DX11 textures take longer to load than DX 10 or 9

if you want faster loading times turn your graphics settings down.

this is a well known issue

No it isn't and no they don't.

BC2 uses DX11 only to blend in shadows, there aren't "DX11 textures" or even special DX10 textures in BC2, the game looks identical detail and texture wise between 9, 10 and 11.

This is an ATI issue when BC2 is running in DX10/11.

Same problem here. I have a 5870 and on the desert level people have actually ran half way across that huge map before i get in. Very frustrating.

PCM2 · 11 Apr 2010 at 12:24

Same here. Can't blame my X25M SSD either. I just plugged in an old 8800GT for the sole purpose of seeing if this issue is related to my 5850. And it certainly is, in my case.

Its an ATI issue and Win7 64

mmj_uk · 11 Apr 2010 at 13:01

It's only been 5 weeks give them time.

Nick08 · 11 Apr 2010 at 13:02

Yeah running an ati 5850 and win7 64 here and it is very slow. Quite annoying loading Africa Harbour up and not getting a tank!

PCM2 · 11 Apr 2010 at 13:06

I forgot to mention - I'm also running Windows 7 64-bit.

Well before I saw this I didn't think much of it..

But I also suffer from this..

Just thought it was network or sommit related...

Yeah me too.

ATI Releases Catalyst 10.4 Preview – Resolves Bad Company 2 Issues

There you go.

kingwahwah · 16 Apr 2010 at 02:47

yep lots of good response to 10.4 on bc2 forums.

Made BFbc2 heaps better on my 5850.

re:

This load time issue has been around over a year
My members with the ATI cards complained of missing complete rounds in World at War because they could not get in quick enough :eek:

On a positive note one of my members tried the new beta drivers yesterday and explained it definitely helped loading times

Cheers
