Man, I've been searching through the server list and I can't find it to add it to my favourites. The Server name search doesn't find it either.
Christ, the server list takes AGES to refresh.

OMG not the ea server problem!!
yup typical EA bugs have appeared. constant dissconnects and i cant even find a game on the server list unless i select conquest.
Its a shame coz the hour i have been playing its awsome.
PS3 = no problems.....
No issues here :up: after an hours play kicked me off, so i downloaded the latest 3.4 pbsetup ran it and straight on np's at all :up:
People are having issues connecting atm (10pm ish), i think the ea master server is down or something as i couldn't login. Hopefully fixing a few issues :up2:
i cant play for more than 1 map without getting booted off.
Iv'e updated punkbuster and the game itself with no joy.

I was playing on MAXIMUM Graphics 1680X1050 settings FULL AA & Effects etc with Cinema Surround Sound selected.
Average Usage: (Image Missed out a 0)
1032290 K Which is what? About 1GB
I monitord the usage on my second monitor during play.

I think when i saw 4 GB the game must have been crashing. Because today i checked and total ram use was 1.5GB or so which is very impressive :up:
We need to try and keep the BC2 server active. Here is a quote from multiplay
Thanks to darbs for the infoQuote:
Due to the continued issues with the EA master servers, DICE have requested we turn off servers which aren't actively being used by players.
As we want you guys to enjoy this excellent game with as little problems as possible, we are going to be turning off all servers which have had 0 players for over 8 hours.
Yeah I was going to post that lol
It's in the news section on Clanforge

Please note that this is a temporary measure, which we hope everyone will support; however we also appreciate that some of your may not want your servers turned off so if you would like exclude your server follow this simply process:-Note: All restart intervals for BC2 have been reset so even if you already set this option you will need to set it again.
- Goto ClanForge -> Servers, select your server and Click Edit
- Once in the edit screen configure your servers "Auto Restart Interval" to something other than None e.g. 1 Week
- Save your server
Just to confirm this will only effect servers if they haven't seen a single player for over 8 hours so there is no need to worry that your server will be turned off when its full.
High Game Server Demand pushes capacity past 150k player slots
Yesterday an article went up at VE3D stating that DICE has asked all GSP?s to turn off idle servers and it caused a bit of a stir in the community. While there is some truth to the article it also has a number of inaccuracies which we?ll explain here.
This was not asked of all GSP?s but only to one of our closest GSP?s, Multiplay.co.uk. We approached them with the idea of shutting down servers that have had no players in the server for 8 hours with the option of opting in or out for the server owners.
We did not make this decision lightly but as an attempt to temporarily lower traffic on EA servers that is caused by the game server browser while we work on a client fix for the browser here at DICE. After previously shutting down all EA Public servers which accounted for approximately 40,000 player slots we have actually gained approximately 50,000 more player slots from new rental servers. We currently have enough server capacity to allow over 150,000 players to get in a game server at once and that is just on PC.
As those who have servers at Multiplay will be aware you can opt out of your server being shut down during times of inactivity, however if you aren?t aware of how to do this and you would like to opt out of allowing your server to be shut down when idle you can do so through your account at ClanForge.
If you chose to opt in to allow your server to be shut down during times of inactivity you can start your server again at any time and as often as you like.
Other server hosts may offer a similar option on their servers. Please contact your server provider directly to see if they have any plans and if so how you can opt in or out.
This temporary solution will help reduce the server load until we can release a client fix to help reduce server browser load while keeping enough game server slots running for everyone to be able to get in game. Once our client update is complete, Multiplay will not use the idle server shut down setting and we will start up all of the EA Public servers again.
EA servers are down all tomorrow......has anyone tried this? http://ohlawl.com/liseda.html
set your fov to 90 if your using 1920x1200 and 75 if your using 1680x1050. Default is 55....great if you keep getting knifed....you can see them coming if you up your fov.
Also if your rig is struggling turn off Bloom and HSAO.
Edit....sorry posted in wrong section....just seen bfbc2.
That looks interesting Mother :up: I have flashing water and windows on my 4870X2, but graphics are perfect on my 8800GTX and 4870 1GB (single card) will have a fiddle later.
Thanks Darbs :up:
Disabling bloom doesn't seem to work for me. Everything is still too friggin bright
The fix for flashing water is to go into ccc and then click on 3d then disable catalyst A.1. then apply. ;)Quote:

I tried to join you on a game a few times tonight on your server , but when i click on your name it just says there is no games try again?
was it nearly full or anything?
nah there was only 4 of you....then you went onto the other server, i could only join if i clicked on outcasst, not you tho....i know you have secretly blocked me. :(
strange, i was having some issues earlier. Maybe that caused it :S
Ya Mother i was having so many issues which are the same as yours. it took me 2 weeks to fix them and now the game runs perfectly. are you still being kicked in the servers after a period of time? if so try these two options.
1: Disable UPnP on your router
2 Open Ports: which i believe are the ports BC2 uses.
80 TCP
Port: 18121 TCP
Port: 18126 TCP
Port: 18126 UDP
Port: 13505 TCP
without doing that my game was un playable. hope this helps.
Cheers spookkiller will try that. :)
How do you actually disable UPnP as I have no idea?
Nuzz. it all depends on the router but if you go into the routers configuration page (usually obtained through IP or the network interface) there should be an option somewhere.
if you still cant find it then google "Router+Model disable UPnP"
