Ya know... i can't help but admit that BC2(which i just played a few rounds of) is alot more fun than this beta is in its current (buggy and unstable) form. Which is... kind of disappointing,

I just played it on the 360 about an hour and a half ago. It wasn't easy but I got in 3 times. The first time I got disconneted in the middle of a match.

It was probably a coincidence, but the 3 times I got on was after repeatedly hitting A for like 10 - 20 seconds (out of frustration lol) then waiting a minute or two to try again. Worked 3 out of 5 times, but like I said, it probably only by chance.

I'm running everything on Ultra + all settings on and it runs great (except with the raw mouse setting for some reason). I'm running it on a GTX 580.

I decided to try Ultra as generally speaking 2 460's in SLi are usually comparable to 1 580 in most benchmarks I have seen. I happened to join a match in progress, and it was in the subway indoor part of metro. I was getting 65 FPS, on Ultra, I was like DAMN, maybe I can play the game on Ultra.

The action moved outdoors, and that is when it all went downhill fast. Dropped down to 20 FPS, and even when I changed the settings back to Auto (which puts everything at default except AA Post gets set to Medium), it was still running at 20 FPS. I had to quit the game and launch it not once but twice before it got back to normal. The game is still definitely buggy, no doubt about it.

Suffice to say, I will never be running the game on Ultra. LOL

Its funny how a simple telephone pole or gate brings my Abrams to a complete stop :laugh:. I'm not really seeing the destructible environments so far.

I'm running an MSI GTX 560 Ti Twin Frozr II OC and I"m having a problem running the game on low myself (less than 60FPS unless I'm in a hallway in the subway). Anyone out there with this card and similar or lesser specs that can run the game properly?

My System:

Intel Core i5-2500K

MSI GTX 560 Ti Twin Frozr II OC

8GB Corsair XMS3 DDR3-1600

23" Monitor @ 1920x1080

I'm really not sure what the issue is here, but I just can't believe this system is unable to run the game at least on Medium flawlessly.

Have you downloaded the special drivers for the beta?

I have. This is a fresh install of Windows too, maybe only a week old.

I wouldn't be surprised if that "special" driver was actually the issue honestly. As the entire 280 series has been crap.

I wouldn't be surprised either. I'll try rolling back, at this point I've exhausted all my options.

That should fix it. Unless of course there's an underlying hardware issue that you're not aware of. You should test your video card in other games.

I've played a few other games and everything seems fine.

What is your PSU wattage rated at? Otherwise your resolution may be too high right now for that card.

I rolled back my drivers and I see no improvement.

The PSU I have in this system is a Corsair TX650W. You can find all of the specifications here.

The beta is weeks old already. Many bugs have been fixed.

Then, why do EA and Dice shoot themselves in the foot by releasing a build they knew it was bad?

There may be a warning 'the build does not reflect the quality of the final product' but that really does not help.

The graphics are Xbox and absolute fine, I don't know why anyone would expect anything more.

The mind blowing videos a lot of gamers raved about, maybe? That everyone thought: Wow, Dice really milked the X360 GPU and did better than Crysys 2

The ones that said 'actual gameplay footage' or should have said: actual gameplay footage with a Quadro 6000 card or a 12-core Xeon X5690.

Found my first bug of not being able use iron sights in certain parts of Metro. And my god they need to sort out the balancing of that map, need to add more tickets, i played it quite a few times last night attacking and defending and i never saw it go past the 2nd stage, and half the time it didnt make it past the first stage,

Played a bit of caspian..can see why its 32v32 lol, heli's seem a lot better to control compared to BC2, and the damage is pretty cool as well, Didnt get a jet though, seemed to be 15 people waiting in the spawning area for one lol

Has anyone noticed that player tags during the game disappeared? The last few rounds i played (basically when i played caspian and all the games after) no player had a tag above there head, so it was impossible to tell who's side everyone was on except looking at the minimap...all i can say is thank god friendly fire wasnt on!

Anyone experienced that bug?

I also want to mention that I tried playing the game at a lower resolution and it still wasn't running properly. If I remember correctly I tried 1680x1050.

Someone explain to me why my equipment changes after every round! My M4 keeps reverting back to an AKS-74u and my rockets keep reverting to RPG-7V2... WTF!

..now I have a SCAR-H... ?!

Russians and Americans have different starter weapons. You can unlock weapons that either side uses though. People were complaining about side specific weapons in BC2 a lot so I guess this is their compromise.
