Thread: Bad Company 2 tweaks

Whats this about a 300MB patch that has been released ?

where is the hd4870 crossfire on that chart dammit

There was a 300mb patch on launch day.

The "DxVersion=dx9" tweak is wrong. It is suppose to be just "DxVersion=9".

Once i put put in the correct code, my mumble overlay started working. So i guess people who are having problems having mumble overlay showing up ingame should try this.

Here is a Handy little trick i have come across. Now I need to find out how to unbind my Joystick keys from FOOT. Nothing seems to work
Anybody with Windows 7 having issues with:

1) Pings not being displayed in the server browser
2) Being kicked from the game
3) Random disconnections

Solution: Run with administrative priviledgesBFBC2Game.exe; found be default in:


Code:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\battlefield bad company 2
For those who don't know.

1) Navigate to the above directory
2) Right click on 'BFBC2Game.exe'
3) Select 'Properties'
4) Move to the 'Compatibility' tab.
5) Under 'Priviledge Level' put a tick in 'Run this program as an administrator'

6) Click ok.
7) Right click again on 'BFBC2Game.exe' and select 'Send to' select 'Desktop (Create Shortcut). You need to use this one instead of the Steam Generated one.

At this point you need to CLOSE the Steam client completely. You need to do this, or else launching the game will fail until Steam is restarted.

7) Exit from any Steam windows, and right click the Steam icon in your taskbar (by the clock)and select 'Exit'
8) Use the shortcut you've created on your desktop to launch the game

REASON: The administritive privledges you've granted the .exe file will not work if the app is launched through Steam (which we're not running as Administrator).

I can now see servers and their pings and sort/filter them. there are acutally some low ping servers....

Just a note that I've updated the 'server favorites' code to include all 4 GU servers.

To get localized voice in the game, you will need to modify the gamesettings.ini file located in my documents. The ingame menu doesnt seem to change it at all.

Code:

Also changing CarRadio to 0 to disable the ambient sound while in a vehicle.

Added new tweak that should improve hit rego.

what ping are you supposed to believe for that exactly? the server browser where it says 70, if it says anything, or in-game where it says 200
