The servers have been problamatic, the rumor is because of greater than expected sales (which is a good thing).

Personally though, other then when EA was down entirely last night I haven't had a problem getting games, it just takes a few attempts to connect.

As for graphics, there are effects which seem to keep the framerate low even on high-end machines. I lowered my game to low settings except resolution and didn't get much of a bump, it's just gonna run at 40fps and that is that. The desert level with the sand storms dips to 30 or even a bit below for me.

I love the game. When i'm able to join that is.

When i'm trying to join a server i get the 'waiting' popup, with the circle loading thing. Then the popup just disapears and nothing happens (normally the map would load now). I have this on almost every server. Seriously anoying...

Hello, i have a problem with my tft resolution in this game and it would be great i someone could help me on this:

My TFT screen is the HP w2207h with a native resolution of 1680x1050, but it is also possible to set it to 1920x1080 (but not very sharp then).

Now my Problem is that when I set 1680x1050 ingame with fullscreen enabled the game automatically takes 1920x1080 and thats not looking good because it is unsharp and not the right scale (16:9 instead of 16:10) - but the game menu shows that 1680x1050 is activated.
When switch to windowed mode the resolution is correct.

I have a ATI Radeon 4890 with Catalyst 10.2. Catalyst reports the maximum resolution for this monitor is 1920x1080.

What could i do to fix that?

Thanks for your support!

What resolution is listed in your My DocumentsBFBC2settings.ini ?

Myself, i just bought a serial for the game last night and the game runs great on my friends' rig with a 3.0ghz dual-core and 250gts 1gb. A solid 40fps at 1920x1200, max settings, with HBAO and VSYNC off.

But i get it home and install it, but get only about 25-30fps on my quad-core 3.5ghz and 5870 1gb with the same settings and resolution. Even if i force DX9, i still get shitty framerates. The BETA even gave slightly better FPS. It's frustrating. And yes, both installs updated themselves just fine.

Another copy is also runnign quite well on my old dual-core Intel with Nvidia graphics. I guess the game jsut hates ATI hardware and/or drivers. It's pretty lame..:(

Abram, I have heard of a couple of other people that have described Situations just as you did. so your not alone.

I'm at my wits end with this game. I can connect now , but I have CTD's ,and total lock ups . not to mention. display issues only with this game. also..... Ive not been able to get my motion sensor unlock. It shows all i need is 133 pts for the last 5,000 I have got.

From the looks of it, the performance, CTD, or lockups seems to be consistent with ATI cards. I got no problem with it and I use a GTS 250 1GB card. I used to get random crashes but it doesn't seem to be happening anymore when I play the game.

Is there anyone out there who still gets CTDs/lockups yet are also on nvidia cards? Just wanted to see if it appears to be just isolated to ATI cards.

Aside from server issues which are unrelated to my computer I have had no performance issues or crashes. I use nVidia.

Most people I have seen. that have performance issues CTD's and lockups have ATI GPU's. Me included. I would also like to find out if these issues are related to the ATI card only. I really wish EA would get there head out of there butt.

8800gt. Have had a few crashes in single player that kept ruining it for me. Some explosions would crash my PC to desktop. Otherwise OK.

Strange... I used to have a couple of random crashes but it's all but non-existent now... *knocks on wood* The only thing that pretty much changed were drivers and getting updates from Windows. Running 196.21?
