Is the Bad Company 2 beta badly coded or what?

Lots of CTD's,bad performance on high end PC, lag issues, and worst of all MY MOUSE IS STILL CLICKING STUFF IN THE BACKGROUND. Even when I'm running full screen my mouse is still moving around in the back ground clicking on my shortcuts. I don't think the game is actually running full screen because my ATI forced V-sync does not work at all.

Its a shame because the game itself is actually a lot of fun. Anyone else having these game breaking issues?

It needs a lot of optimization thats for sure.

Play in DX9, significant performance boost.

At high setting I get around 20-25 FPS at 1920x1080

At medium I get 30-40 FPS at 1920x1080

I tried lowering the resolution, but that does not help much for performance.

The problems IMO aren't related with the code but with the servers. Most of times my rig is capable to move it at 40-50 fps with ALL options maxed (even AO) at 1650 X 1050 and suddenly the framerrate drops to 15: too much people attacking a destructible building at time. I'm sure that reducing the filters I can fly over 60-80 fps, but probably the lag and drops will not start to dissapear until more servers become available.

It's not the game, it's the servers. Get over it, it's beta. And it will probably be fixed in a few days.

Ive heard its console schwag, is that true?

FOV is 65, so I'm pretty sure I can't play it on principle.

Why is it that when you lose or win a match you CTD?

Anybody not able to join a game yesterday? I haven't tried today, but last night when I loaded up beta I couldn't join any games. It would just time out.zomglolcats

Tons of players had the same problem yesterday, including myself. DICE noticed the incidents and this morning the loggin menu was warning about server browser and advising to try quick match instead manual search. But currently some friends are using both methods with success.

Well steam updated the beta about an hour ago. It fixed all my problems:)

Only problem now is that performane could be better.

You said it yourself, Bad Company 2 BETA. Just hold on, the game isn't finished yet. It has a whole month of polishing yet.

Beta's working great so far. Only problem I've had so far is that vsync doesn't work; I still get screen tearing with it enabled.

Its in BETA (not finished) Its fine for a console because they know what needs to be optimized. When i was on champions online BETA it ran pretty bad around 30fps. The first patch that came out fixed the problems with Ati cards then i got around 60fps. I wouldn't worry about it yet, let them fix to problems then complain when the game is out.

It's coded extremely well for me. I never had any problems in the first place and the new patch seems to make things run a little smoother. The only performance vampire is the shadows option. With it on low, I can have everything else on high, along with a rez of 1680x1050, and get on average 35-45 fps. As I didn't see much of a difference with it on high. The amazing explosion/smoke effects is obviously Dice's focus.

My system is as follows:

AMD Phenom Triple Core 2.8ghz

8800gts 320mb

2gb ram.

As for performance,

People are always saying how quad cores do nothing... they are wrong. Also a 4870 is old now and you have a dual core. Don't expect to max it on 1080p

I am getting barely any lag while play. Perhaps the people complaining pay for comcast? :P

This is really messed. The updater keeps saying "Could not find latest patch", yet I could still play on the older one. Does anyone else have this issue?

Played for about 2 hours. Runs suprisingly well on my old rig considering people were crapping themselves over the recommended specs. Its pretty obvious a lot of people in the beta have no clue of the objective of the map tho. I didnt read anything really and figured out fast its a push map with certain bombs to blow up to push your team along the map to the end and the other team tries to stop you (at least I hope thats what I was doing). Its really good.

Game is running fine for me. I have a Q9550, 260, 4gb RAM, and using Vista Ultimate 64-bit. Also, I got the beta from Steam. I hope the game improves for you beacuse it is a lot of fun.

Thanks man, it works fine now

Since the new patch the game has been running FLAWLESSLY!!!

I was getting all sorts of CTD's during gameplay with Windows XP but the new patch fixed it all!! I also though the mouse sensitivity was far too low and that was fixed too!!

Overall this is so far my favorite online FPS... I'm going to be playing this for years lol....

For the performance aspect.... I'm running the game MAXED out at 1600x1200 with every option ticked to the highest setting. It's buttery smooth.

My computer is...

Yeah this whole thing just feels like a beta or something!! god did they even try when they were making this?

Make sure that you have installed and updated the newest drivers for your video card. This will make a tremendous difference. There is a new released Nvidia driver on Jan 19th that has coding for Bad Company 2. My framerate literally doubled with the new driver. My specs are:

I7 920 (3.8 ghz)

6GB Dominator PC-1600 DDR3

EVGA GTX285 running SLI

Asus Xonar D2X

Screen res 1920x1200 with graphic settings on max. FPS is 60-70 with video cards on stock clocks.

They need to get rid of the Post Processing filters or give us a way to turn them off. I hate that blurred effect given. It makes it look poor....
