My flashbacks to Söldner: Secret Wars Beta have been realised. Experience, kids, that's what that is right there.

using history through up some servers, all overseas , got into a game. now using history crashs the game.
joystick support of fubar, twist axis works, able to use joystick buttons to fire works
x,y axis to move forwards/strafe/backwards is all messed up...
joystick support is not that hard to get right from the get go...

I'm pretty sure the failure to connect message is just the server slot filling up with someone else who clicked at a similar time as you.
The game itself seems pretty good, the lag wasn't too bad considering I was playing on US server.

There are huge amounts of people trying to play this game, especially for the first few days. There are probably not enough servers available, thanks to withholding publicly available dedicated servers.
So what is happening is a billionty people are trying to join very limited servers and you and many others all try to join the free slot that just opened up on server X.
There can be only one...

Zero problems so far, gets a bit choppy at times on my rig at 1680x1050 with 2xaa and BOAG set to OFF (it was terrible with it on).
Playable kind of choppy, but noticeable in huge fights when multiple buildings are being destroyed and trees falling over.
In saying this, I'm not sure how much of it was actual 'server lag' as such because I seemed to move fun and my weapon sway seemed to be fine, it was more everything else going on that seemed a bit choppy (other peoples movements etc.)
With a local server this would kill MW2 multi-player imo.
Nothing funnier and more awesome than jumping an ATV over a hill and over an enemies head with you and someone else on board.
Also pulled off a pretty B.S. snipe headshot on some guy on an ATV at close range full speed, the animation of the head jerking back and flying off the ATV as it sped onwards for awhile was awesome.
Brings back a lot of memories of the old BF series, with vehicles being an integral part of it, but not an overpowering presence as they have been previously.
So far, I like it.
Only had two crashes so far:
1) When first booting up the game in options, someone messaged me in steam which opened a new window - this caused it to crash for some reason - also noted you can't shift-tab and get the overlay which probably has something to do with it.
2) When I wanted to see if I could get a local server and hit the server browser :<
My Rig: Probably a constant 40-60fps at least when not a lot happening - not sure of settings to display it to be certain.
Probably dips into the 20's occasionally when in the huge open areas with the snow storm blowing around, trees falling and lots of gunfire/explosions etc.

Hmm, they might have compiled with some debug symbols though if it's a Beta - does it send some bug report or something if there's a crash?
Dazhel might be able to shed light cos I think the BF series is all in C#.NET with Python for scripting scenarios and what not.
Posted 03:50pm 29/1/10
Posted 03:50pm 29/1/10
Posted 04:09pm 29/1/10
BF2 scripting appears to be Python based which is really cool but I haven't looked into it much. As for C#.NET - Is it? The engine wouldn't written in C# surely.
Posted 04:28pm 29/1/10
Destructible building stuff seems cool though. Vehicles felt like s***, but once again, could have just been the lag. The maps, or at least the one map in the demo, is pretty tiny compared to the old Battlefield maps. Which is kinda good I guess cos it means you're not stuck having to walk for 10 minutes till you get to the fight if all the vehicles are gone, but on the other hand, it kinda makes the vehicles pointless cos you just get in a buggy, drive it for 10 seconds, and then you're at the other end of the map.
Posted 04:32pm 29/1/10
Haha.
Yeah not sure about the actual engine they use.
I have this little gem in my bookmarks on embedding Python into C/C++ which I did once. It's really bloody cool. I hate Python with a passion and it's difficult to debug scripts, but for prototyping and level scripting for scenarios (like capture the flag or whatever) it's so easy - and you don't have to restart your game/level to try different stuff which is the main reason to do it. You just alter the script and try the action again.
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cpp/embedpython_1.aspx
I'd definitely go with scripting if I was a game maker - I'd probs look at Lua or something over Python though.
Posted 05:01pm 29/1/10
And I'm not sure if your teams did/didn't further it along, but there are three consecutive bomb points with two targets each time.
Destroy 2 and the map opens up more (linearly however) - The battle can be pushed back to the beginning I think.
Either way, the vehicles I think in BC2 as I said seem to be more of a strategical 'push' tool rather than 'I'm gonna fly this plane/drive this tank for the whole map and just potatown'.
Lag is a bit of a b**** with the broken browser currently though :/

Ah, no I didn't see that, that actually sounds pretty sweet.
My game crashes whenever I click on the server browser though :( Or has that been fixed in the last couple of hours? The news ticker at the bottom of the screen when you're in the game said they were working on a patch for it.

There's a lot of bugs yep.
When playing on local servers though.. .EPIC.... FUN!
I love using the UAV a lot mostly because people seem to forget about it...
Though it is slow to fire and very very small splash damage, but its great for assisting to take out vehicles or snipers.
I have been at the starting UAV contol computer (as attackers) and sent it to the final two bomb points and slawed it up so much with it they jumped in a Black Hawk and choppered over solely just to kill me.
Not sure why they sucked at just shooting it down, two sniper shots does it :)
Mate of mine had artifacting problems (8800's in SLI) - Driver updates fixed this.
Otherwise, game runs alright/gameplay is fine. The menu's feel more 'alpha' but otherwise on my rig its beta worthy.

Nah it's ok, I got a key, but my brother got the msg saying he had one already I remember him getting the same msg when I told him about the Star Trek beta, he didn't seem all that interested to begin with anyways. All good, thx for offer tho Trog.

also engine is still not upto 'responsiveness' of other shooters - still has the wierd battlefield 1942/2 etc.. feel (which is to be expected)
Still fun though - pulled off some awesome sniper shots
I think I also ran someone over in the buggy :)

Posted 03:46am 30/1/10
I never really liked the BF2/1943 games as the accuracy was out and just seemed a cut below what it needed to be. This is awesome fun as it's fast and I can headshot people across the map reasonably well. Pistol as a backup is pro, it will pwn 2 people at close range. The vehicles are fun but it's fairly easy to get taken out but if played well you can survive for ages.
I had a map with a medic behind me while I sniped from on top of the hill and every time I died to another sniper or mortar fire, he would rez me and I'd keep going; picked up about 40+ kills on that map. :D
Posted 08:47am 30/1/10
runs pretty smooth on medium settings on my 3g dualcore + 260
really does feel like bf 1942
will have another bash later, was good fun;
Posted 10:12am 30/1/10
its like modernwarfare but alot more hectic (tanks camping spawns, very very busy battles)
i still havent made up my mind yet - i guess if there was a bigger map with wide open spaces it wouldnt be so cramped. you die really really fast cause there is so much crap going on

This happened to me with MW2 and the only solution was to reinstall MW2, yet strangely enough when i fixed this, I took my PC o a friends place and it worked fine from his net connection... (though ghosted his install over mine to be safe)...
Any ideas/work arounds/anybody else get this?
I have a feeling its a steam fault since it happened with MW2 around last patch time.
Should point out that I've tried deleting steamui.dll, steam.dll and clientregistry.blob
No avail :/

I've been using assault class mostly and been spanking lots of people. I think it is the third unlock gun that I'm still using, all the others are kind of crap, the third pistol is good though.
Pistols are actually good to use in this game, unlike previous battlefields.
Posted 02:33pm 30/1/10
Getting a real distaste for steam these days.
Everytime a patch comes out it breaks.
Tried deleting entire steam directory except steamapps and let it re-download.
Now its just stuck on 'download starting...'
Posted 02:42pm 30/1/10
As for the steam version, perhaps your download was corrupted. You may have to download it again, or do that 'verify integrity of game cache' located after right-clicking in game install in the My Games Tab (it will be in the 'local files' tab).
I've had Team Fortress 2 do a similar thing and that fixed it, turns out 1 file was corrupted.
Posted 02:52pm 30/1/10
Posted 02:57pm 30/1/10
(Namely small main DLL, the Executable and the NCF file from the apps directory to force it to redownload...)
Still same s***, starts the install bar starts progressing then dumps with the error that steam servers are too busy/trouble connecting.
Same s*** happened to my MW2 few weeks ago.
Shame, because I really cannot stand MW2's SubMachineRailGun's.
Retarded accuracies at stupidly long ranges in that game.

This just seems to happen to my steam when some games are patched, its a pain.
Fixed by taking my HDD to a mates place and just transferring their BC2 steamapps and the ncf file... real pain to have to do.
Also just fired it up through my steam whilst there just to be sure.
Not sure what the go is with disconnects, same friend of mine I was just at has the same problem, timed it..
4mins 35 seconds approximately, always the same time frame and gets 'lost connection to server'.
Attempted DMZ while we were there, still the same problem.
So it's not a port issue.
Unknown what the issue actually is, as I don't suffer from the disconnect problem when I play.
Posted 04:30pm 30/1/10
Did you install punkbuster?
Posted 05:59pm 30/1/10
GA servers don't have Punkbuster on yer?
I installed it anyway.
I really like how destructible the environment is. When attacking, I try to get into the tank and blow the crap out of the walls near the first Alpha Capture point makes it heaps easier to attack.

I find the game quite fun to play, a little bit repetitive as it is the same game play over and over.
Once I joined to a paris server, the lag and delay was bad but nothing you couldn't adjust for. After playing for 10 minutes I was top of the ladder.
Does anyone know if you will be able to keep your rank once the game is released or will everyone start at square one again?

Posted 01:28pm 31/1/10
You'll do fine mate, probs low settings or medium with a bit of tweakage. @sLiNky, it will seem repetitive, but at least its a massive map. And I like that it's not all open as soon as you start, you have to destroy the first 2 comm's before opening up more. Heaps of fun, hopefully they'll unlock more maps

I looked closer thinking I'd screwed something up - but basically it looks like a bunch of people had been sitting there hitting refresh on that page and snagged them the INSTANT they were available. So they all got munched basically instantly.
Sorry to those that missed out! We're trying to get some more though but it probably won't be until late Monday (when EA/Dice are back in the office).
edit: for those that missed out, the next batch we'll probably advertise via the forums next, so plz keep an eye out here first. Forum peeps always get first go at these sorts of things!

Never had punkbuster installed on my machine before and I don't get kicked.......
Also thought punkbuster was installed with the game if it was needed anyway (besides which, I certainly didn't manually install it or change any options for it).
Seems to happen with a fair few people.
My Machine: Vista x64 (GTX 275)
Friends Machine: Windows 7 (SLI 8800's)
Lets see if there's any pattern

I've played a bit today and it's fun so far, but not all that much different from the other BF games.
I've read that there's a problem with certain joysticks - the game doesn't recognise the throttle on mine (Logitech Cordless Freedom 2.4), and it looks like the axis is inverted as well.
Gameplay overall is pretty good, although I think I've been on mostly foreign servers and the lag is a bit nasty. I joined a couple of Gamearena servers through the browser, but both times I crashed :(
Posted 09:21am 01/2/10
For some reason I get a feeling that punkbuster is actually not running atm. I had pb "couldn't get latest version" type diagnostic errors come up (the pb setup thingy you get when you launch BC2 for the first time).. But I'm still playing for hours on end with no interruptions... They might be looking for hackers and how they are hacking before they enable PB???

having said that I didn't even know the attacking team can simply blow the comms with C4, what's the f*****g point in planting the bomb thing and standing around for half an hour waiting for the defending team to disarm it???

You know whats better?
MINES!
O yer, those puppies pwn tanks good.
They also stick around for the map, even if you change class.
As defender, go Engy with Mines and munition damage upgrade + upgrade that gives you more mines. Run to the roads and drop mines down where you think tanks will drive over, also 1 or 2 in the forest next to A.
Then run around with your shotty until you eventually die, switch to sniper with tasty 12x scope and mortar upgrade and start killing people and mortaring stationary campy tanks, top score k thx bi.
edit: Also, don't plant mines too close to the Comms... I killed the guy who started the timer ... and took out my own comm station, damn it.

The first point A is incredibly easy to destroy with this method. It is easiest if you grab the Tank and drive straight ahead and down to Point A, take it slow over the drop and you don't take damage. Then you rip up the fences by driving along the fence line and kill anything around, when the tank is almost dead hpo out and Ninja C4 Point A (even without vehicles it is pretty easy).
Once that goes it doesn't take long for the rest of the team to take out point B. If for some reason they can't, just hang around for a Tank/APC thing and drive it to point B park it in front of the Comms unit so it gives you cover while you Ninja C4 the point, only takes about 5 seconds to lay down all your C4 (you will need all of it) and blow it up.
You can usually get Point B of the 2nd stage with a ninja C4 run if you hang around the edge of the map and move as soon as the 2nd stage opens up, otherwise you just have to bide your time until you get a chance to make it to a Comms unit, grab the APC if possible.
The 3rd stage is a litter harder if you don't Ninja Point A asap. The 4th stage is super easy, run up the side of the pipes and around the back, kill the helicopter campers and blow up Point A again.
I really, really hope that being able to take out the Comms units with C4 will get nerfed somewhat, make it take at least 2 lives worth of C4.
O and people that camp the Hill with the TANK/APC thing as Attackers annoy me. A single round of mortar strikes can take out a camping tank. IT'S A TANK, GO IN CUT SICK, blow up the anti-tank emplacements while you drive in.
^^ O and mines totally counter that hahah.

sometimes ill plant the c4 then hack the comm and wait for some enemies to come take it back and then blow the comm up in their faces.
Posted 08:43pm 02/2/10
It is pretty crappy compared to the other guns, but it must annoy people when they get killed by it. you really have to fire it in 3 bullet bursts.
I have to admit, the game was better without the C4 Ninja Caps.
What they should do is cap the damage output from combined C4's, so even it you plant 5 in one spot, it should only do the damage of 3. It forces the Ninja Cap to take longer, 10+ seconds is plenty of time for the Defenders to stop you.

Seriously considering getting this for PC, but want to play it first. NEED KEY!
Looks like me and three other friends are planning on buying this on steam. Hope they do one of their deals where you buy 4 and pay for 3.

Been doing digging around for a friend with this issue.
It seems it could be related to some routers and their default TCP timeout values.
Apparently increasing this value if you are able to with your modem, will resolve the issue entirely.
This was also an apparent problem in Battlefield 2142 and was an EA Master server issue.
It could also explain why people who get the 5 minute dropout issue also take a lot longer to retrieve stats than those who don't.
Would also help with the issue that Port Forwarding or even running in DMZ mode does not fix the issue as it's not a forwarding issue so much as a timeout issue with the EA Master Server and not the Game Server.
Trying to find a guide on how to change this value if at all possible on a Billion BiPAC 7300A (If memory serves that was this fellas router)
Anybody able to test my theory out?

i have to turn on the dmz on my router when im going to play. (billion 7300g)
u make sure you forward all traffic to your pc when you turned on the dmz?
just make sure when you are done playing, you remember to turn it off.

If I push the talk key (j) just before the splash screen turns up at the end of a match, it often crashes. I use it sometimes to quit the game quickly...
Posted 07:12pm 07/2/10
not so much random, but talking to mates on Steam in game and then experiencing desky crash is a letdown
the graphics are pretty nice... still - I'll drop all that s*** through the floor for max killin'
Spooky - looking for ya out there dude. Squad up b*****@#$%&
add infi in while yer there... he can distract the enemy with political stuff while we bait n switch their asses ;)

You must need practice, most people can manage just fine without dropping the graphics.

there are times where you can't type? (I think it's when you die)..
when you die you can't chase other players (only squad members).. Also you can't chase squad members when they are in a full vehicle..
you can't check what server your on when ingame.
when you launch BC2, it doesn't remember the weapons/perks you chose for your class from a previous game.
you can't check scores (pressing tab) when you are dead.
any others people can think of?

that gives me the f***en s****. also they need to bring back AA rockets or introduce stingers or something because choppers are completely OP at the moment and just spend the whole game wishing ass cancer on the pilots.

It's hardly a beta, the game is about 1 month from release. It's done, those things Martz listed aren't bugs, they're missing features.

I can't seem to update this is what I get:
I hit yes and I get this:
I hit yes and I can play the game. However it is a bit annoying in that I can't play the latest version with bug fixes etc...anyone else have this problem?

Posted 09:20pm 13/2/10
Just started happening mid game, anyways, unplugged it an sorted.
Cheers!
Now..
How the F*** do I get rid of that spawn selection screen every.f*****g.time I enter or exit a freaking vehicle/mounted gun...
I mean seriously, wtf?
Posted 01:49pm 14/2/10
Posted 05:07pm 14/2/10
Sonb****...
Anyone know where the default keys can be remapped? The ones you can't map ingame?
Had a look, can't see anything though.
Posted 05:47pm 14/2/10
could you tell me how to force dx9 i am having laggy feeling aswell on my machine.
Posted 07:26pm 14/2/10
Posted 07:47pm 14/2/10
Change the line so it reads:
DxVersion=9
Bloom=false
HSAO=false
Also, make sure you are using 8x Ansioscopic filtering, the game can be extra laggy by turning it any less for some bizarre reason.
Dunno about keybindings though :(
Posted 10:28pm 14/2/10
10 mins is a looooooong time to sit there and do nothing.
gonna load up something up on the laptop to keep me busy when I load upthe new BF again tomorrow eh.. :/
Posted 12:27am 15/2/10
Unlocked the 4x Medium Range scope, equipped it and couldn't unequip the damned thing till next map restart
Nice addon for assault weapons :)
S***balls for any sniper weapons.
Enjoying collecting Dog Tags :P
addendum:
ATI flicker stuff is getting annoying as is random s*** like keys suddenly deciding they don't want to work again until end of map (I'm guessing and end up rage quitting when it happens).
Sooo going back to nVidia when their new cards come out

Posted 02:15pm 27/2/10
for anyone who's interested - EA has Battlefield Vets running - so you can get a free uber weapon (M1 garand - level ~20 weapon) upgrade.
just fill in your cd key or username/pass for that each of your previous Battlefield games (yeah they have xbox and ps3 versions there too) and upgrade your weapon kit from day one ;)
accounts you made for demo versions of the game also work!
I heard 15... I thought this was pointless however as you'll obviously utilise the 'extra C4' function with another person, load up a quad bike and it's biz as usual.

Posted 02:52pm 27/2/10
I'm guessing the Vets program is a way for EA to meld all the user game accounts into just one EA user account - which they should have done since day one!
