Steam is having a sale on BC2 that lasts until the noon tomorrow. If anyone is thinking about getting it now would be a good time.

I had fun playing last night and my machine doesn't hiccup once. Even when getting shot at, stabbed, rpg'd, and ran over by a tank at the same time.
:D

Oh Lord!!!! Spark with a gun??? RUN!!!! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!! COVER YOUR REARS, AND DON'T DROP THE SOAP!!!!

[LA_MERC_YellowDog]

Big Bummer men. I built a new comp and swapped over the video card. Now it is crashing. Better mobo, better RAM, better Proc, same video card (GTX 285), Win7 x64.

I am bummed. Will look at it when I get a chance. Maybe this weekend.

Is the patch out? Have they fixed the knife?? Where in the hell is Onji, Tugboats and the rest of the crew? I fragged a bit last night with Baco and Fragfood.

I need a new map!! Onji got any news??

By they way, I think my Dog-tags are Gold!

[LA_MERC_th33_r00k]

lulz. I need a map to last more than 15 mins.

Rook - What's showing up in your event log when the 'puter crashes? That might give some idea of what's wrong. Any other symptoms? Does it crash if it just sitting in the BIOS? Idle at the Windows desktop? Only when gaming?

I have the same card and have issues with the kernels stopped working. It started with a driver update from NVIDIA. Only does it in game for me.

[LA_MERC_DocSparky]

I wonder if going to the beta build of the driver would make a difference. Might be worth trying. You would think that Nvidia would be aware of the issue by now and perhaps has a fix in the pipeline.

Rook and shadow try this:



In your documents folder, you will find a folder called BFBC2 .

Inside that you find "settings" .

Inside the "settings" file you will see this ...

change only the following lines in red:

It happens with all my games not just battlefield.
