same.

i'm still CPU limited on my current setup in BC2 (and no other game ) but it still averages 45FPS or so.

Dude... I'm CPU limited in this game too :shadedshu

Actually, after Tuesday's EA server maintenance which fixed friends showing up as on-line, all the friend requests I have sent out multiple times finally were accepted. Maybe I was just lucky, but give it a try now.

BC2 CRASHES:
-----------------

Changing subject a bit: people saw BC2 is overclocking unfriendly... welllllllllllll I had an OC+Intel speed change (Asus EPU) depending of CPU use, etc. Ok. I lowered my normally fine OC to 3200 mhz something, but today still got nasty BC2 crashes... I decided to try disabling all speed changers, and try another OC with Auto tune. Well in no time it suggested 3900 Mhz to me LOL!!!!
I tweaked the Ram in bios and played a long time without a crash and also appreciated the sweet gameplay at that high CPU speed... Just for your interest.... Disable auto-whatever CPU speeds.

BC2 is also quick to expose any instability in an CPU overclock. I played Metro 2033 for hours without issue when I was testing a lower voltage on my CPU and once I loaded BC2 my system crashed within minutes.

well if it maxes out my CPU @ 4.2GHz, its gunna stress anyones CPU and expose any instabilities whatsoever

The important thing here is, in my opinion, that bad comp 2 is not as much an enemy of overclocking but of 'intelligent' mobos that change the speed, voltage, multiplier automatically....

yeah but thats just poor overclocking. it just means that your system wasnt stable.

If you OC manually and test it, you're set - if you use automatic OCing or just randomly change stuff its the same thing... an untested OC.

TRIPTEX_CAN · May 28, 2010

I disable all clock switching on my CPU so I really don't know. Usually if an OC is stable it's still stable with clock switching.

problem scenario example (AMD cause its easier)

Fictional hardware example:

Stock voltage = 1.35v
Stock clocks 2Ghz (200x10)
Cool And quiet idle: 1GHz (200x5) 1.10v

if you OC to 250FSB, it may well be stable at 2.5Ghz 1.35v... but your idle is now 1.25GHz at 1.10v, which may not be stable.

since nothing ever loads it at idle, this instability is unlikely to show up... but a game that suddenly swaps between load and idle repeatedly has higher odds of showing this problem (example: load screens use next to no CPU then all of CPU, due to HDD bottlenecking on map changes - idle clocks are loaded briefly before they rise to load clocks/volts)

TRIPTEX_CAN · May 28, 2010

OK but I dont see how 2.5Ghz with 1.35v would be stable but not 1.25Ghz with 1.10v.... but I don't think that's the point.

I guess the problem would occur when the system is switching clocks back and forth faster then the mobo can adjust the voltage. For everyday usage it might not be an issue but when under high load it would be more susceptible to this...

reverze · May 28, 2010

Add me to the list, "abwehr71"

I just got my copy of BBC2 after being unable to game for nearly 5 months.

Game runs excellent on my setup, and so far it's not too bad.

Looking for some folks to play with, so if anyone is interested I should be on and playing alot this weekend.

GullyFoyle · May 28, 2010

twitter.com/OfficialBFBC2: Get the new BFBC2 Onslaught game mode wallpaper for your PC now from Here. The irony is not lost on anyone but DICE...
ATI released Calayst 10.5 drivers, but forgot to include the 10.4a load fix for BFBC2. Doh!
twitter.com/Bazajaytee: "QA found different problems with the PC patch regarding the servers this time Back to work..." /me ducks, runs...

SNiiPE_DoGG · May 28, 2010

geeze, I cant say i didnt expect this from dice...

IMO they do a great job with games and the patches are all usually very good- problem is they can take FOREVER to release a patch. In the BF2 days it was the same way and in the 2 years BF2 was actively developed they only released 7-8 patches tops.

It only pushes mine to about 60% on each core @3.6Ghz. It's nice to see a game that actually uses all 6 cores.

1Kurgan1 · May 29, 2010

The 1st post is now updated with the guides, I havent looked at them in a long time, now there are some useful ones, thanks to GullyFoyle!

Yep, this game uses them each and it's great.

That is EXACTLY what I was thinking and I could not have said it better! The symptoms that I have seen are exactly those too. Cheers !

erixx · May 30, 2010

heheheeee I tweaked some parts and now I am running this mofo bc2 at 4150 Mhz with Mhz changing (Intel Speed step)... without lockups!!!! And It looks so good and well greased up!!!!

Would these be good: ATI Catalyst™ 10.5a Hotfix
http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/ATI-Catalyst-Hotfix.aspx

Using 10.4a currently, maybe all these a versions are winners

ooh oooh didnt know 10.5a was out

ahah!

it fixes the load times for the NEW maps about to be released in BC2's latest patch

DrPepper · May 30, 2010

Loading times for me are still really crappy

shevanel · May 30, 2010

What are these "new maps"?

supposed to be coming out with the next patch is a new game 'mode' that the consoles already have.
