Battlefield Bad Company 2 Clubhouse

[Ross211]

This is kind of a hijack, but I know the most knowledgeable players are here. Anyway I have a LG 27" HD monitor TV combo. It will not let me set above 1650x1050. 1600x900 doesn't even show up as an option. It will let me set at 1080 P , but it is bright and looks grainy like it is to high. Just wondering is there a way to get the computer setting to set at 1920 x 1080 so that would be the native REZ ? My spec's show what I have as far as hardware. I have the 10.7 driver and CCC. Thanks

Hey bro, try this -

Go to X:\Users\YourUserName\Documents\BFBC2\settings.ini

Open settings.ini with a simple text editor (notepad or wordpad). Inside settings.ini you will have two lines.

Width=XXXX
Height=XXXX

Set your width to 1680 and set your height to 1050. You should be ready to rock

/edit

I realize that my solution may not be what you're in search of.

When you say "It will not let me set above 1650x1050". What is it? Are you referring to Catalyst Control Center or the in game resolution settings you can choose from?

Also you might want to lock the ini file after you do that. Just remember that you cannot change any settings while its locked. The advantage is the game cannot change it back to the old resolution ether.

Who here is sniping with slug rounds? Have you ever been accused of cheating for slug rounding someone in the head?

By locking you mean making the settings.ini file have a read only attribute? I think that is one way to do it, if not the only.

Wanted to ask so we could help ol' boy out here

I do all the time. And when they complain, I laugh.

I snipe a lot (with a proper rifle) and it only bothers me if someone with a shotgun kills me in a single shot from 400+ metres..... sorry but thats total dog shite :shadedshu .... and about as realistic as me killing everyone by throwing a feather at them..... i would hazard a guess that there is no shotgun in the world that would even hit a moving target at 400m, unless of course you called it a howitzer.

Correct. Make it read only.

Also I'm not sure if it was you or someone else to IM me last night when I was playing Transformers but whoever it was sorry I didn't respond. I was fighting Starscream.

Thanks, I'll try it, but at 1920 x 1080. That is what I'm shooting for. My ATI card only lets me set it at that in HD mode which when running the computer looks like crap. I'll do this and see if it looks better.

Whats the model No of your monitor?

This is true and it may be a bit frustrating at times, but this is a game and made to have fun.
I listen to the guys my son plays on MW2 on X-box and because he is really good he gets accused of cheating all the time. I hate MW2 for just that reason and the ridiculous perks.
The hacks are bad too. I was getting sniped every time I spawned one time and it ended up being a guy way up in the sky. Once I found out where it was coming from it was fun to blow his ass out of the air though.

lg m2762d-pm

 

[Mussels]

ahah! i think i know your problem.

try running in DX9 and see if the problem goes away... if it does, then your problem is ATI + DX10 + HDMI + win 7 = runs in 30Hz interlaced cause its a bitch


you could also move to DVI (on the monitor input, so no DVI to HDMI cables or anything) to get around it, which is what i did.

The only problem would be then I have a DDL audio issue. I have no interference thru the HDMI running thru the monitor and then into the receiver, but if run it straight from my sound card it is nothing but feedback. Maybe I should try the coaxial digital out off the mother board(gigabyte ma785gm-us2h). Will those work on a home theater reciever ?

with digital audio issues, its fairly simple.

your sound card must output a signal the receiver can decode. sounds like you may be encoding it in a format that doesnt work - dolby digital is 16 bit 44Khz for example, so if you somehow set it to 24 bit, its gunna spaz.

It is set at 24 bit. Thanks !

sniping with slug rounds = awesome

I know it's unrealistic to snipe with shotgun but it's a game. And yes snipers do get rage when I outsnipe them. I've been banned from several servers for slug sniping because they thought I was cheating. Quite frustrating.

Sounds to me like they need to patch this. Better get all the slug round snipin' pwnage in while you can.

You can't really shoot long distance with slug rounds in real life can you? Maybe I'm totally wrong here, hopefully someone that knows can tell us.

NO you cannot

 

[ZenZimZaliben]

There are some bad ass shotgun shells out there now. Rather then just have a big ole slug that comes out they now have 12 gauge SABOT slugs. Which is a much smaller slug round incased in a 12 gauge sleeve that breaks away after it leaves the muzzle, huge increase in distance (accurate up to 300m, with the perfect setup) and stability. Exactly the same technology used in M1A1 Sabot rounds. 120mm cannon shooting a 30mm Sabot round.

No not with any actual hope of hitting a moving target. And I agree Zim but as i said, in my experience most "enemies" don't stand still and from anything over about 75 yards moving it's just too un-reliable to use.

 

[OnBoard]

Didn't the last patch kill the neostad sniping? Was a fun gun, but haven't used it since, as it won't work long range anymore.

Liking the White pass Rush map, finally got to play it a bit more. Oh and new GPU is coming UPS got the package. Next week will be BC2 in HIGH!

Also made new avatar for my newest addiction

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

i just want my shotgun to be what it should be a room sweeper i see other weapons drop ppl at close range in 2 shots yet a saiga will still take 4-6 shots so unless you have the extended clip your pretty much screwed and the regular pump action dosent cut it the spaz helps a bit in some situations but the only really usable shotty is the Saiga for obvious reasons and sadly i can get more kills faster with a pistol wish a shotgun actually WAS a shotgun in this game

 

[OnBoard]

crazyeyesreaper: use the assault shotgun addition? That is a one killer, down side is it takes forever to load and only 2 shots. Somehow you get more 40nm, which I don't get.

But spas-12 is good, why not give that also a whirl?
