quote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A few weeks ago we discussed news of Ubisoft's DRM plans for future games, which reportedly went so far as to require a constant net connection, terminating your game if you get disconnected for any reason. Well, it's here; upon playing review copies of the PC version of Assassin's Creed 2 and Settlers VII, PCGamer found the DRM just as annoying as you might expect. Quoting: "If you get disconnected while playing, you're booted out of the game. All your progress since the last checkpoint or savegame is lost, and your only options are to quit to Windows or wait until you're reconnected. The game first starts the Ubisoft Game Launcher, which checks for updates. If you try to launch the game when you're not online, you hit an error message right away. So I tried a different test: start the game while online, play a little, then unplug my net cable. This is the same as what happens if your net connection drops momentarily, your router is rebooted, or the game loses its connection to Ubisoft's 'Master servers.' The game stopped, and I was dumped back to a menu screen — all my progress since it last autosaved was lost." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://games.slashdot.org/story/10/02/18/0719256/Ubisofts-Constant-Net-Connection-DRM-Confirmed Publishers are slowly killing the PC games industry with crap like this. Why would anyone want to put up with jumping through all these hoops to play a game on the PC when its so much less hassle to play on a console?

Producer, Anders Gyllenberg has put together a walkthrough of Battlefield: Bad Company 2 on the PC and explains some of the PC specific features, including things you have been asking for on the forums, as well as a first look at the Rush map, Valparaiso.

As Battlefield Bad Company 2 comes out next week, I'll tell you about the Day 1 map pack that is available to all players who purchase the game and apply their VIP code which comes with the game at no extra charge. The map pack contains two new maps which are the Rush map, Nelson Bay and the Conquest map, Laguna Alta which you can check out in the video now. The maps will be available from March 2nd which will allow the lucky North America players to get access and practice while us Europeans wait a few days more. Later in March another map pack will be released containing Arica Harbor for Conquest and Laguna Presa for Rush VIP codes are included in the box for all new purchases. Players that buy used versions and don't have a code can purchase one via the in-game store for $15. PC players will get the content as a game update. http://forums.electronicarts.co.uk/battlefield-announcements/900298-battlefield-bad-company-2-day-1-map-pack.html

Closed Beta bug status -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here we list some of the bugs which have been reported in the Closed Beta, with confirmed info from programmer, Mikael Kalms. How is DICE working on the game? Fixes are made directly in the retail game. Then, depending on how much time and effort it takes, we also lift the fixes into the Closed Beta. When we have a new good build of the Closed Beta, we will release a new client. The focus for most of the team right now is stability, not game balancing. Therefore the list below contains mainly reported stability issues. Flashing water and terrain on Crossfire Fixed in retail game. Particle shadows disabled on SLI + DirectX9 They used to cause a huge performance drop. Fixed in retail game. DirectX9 crashes We have improved stability some in the retail game, particularly when "losing" the graphics device due to alt-tab WinXP 32 / WinXP 64 compatibility We have done a few crash fixes, although we have no data specifically on XP64 yet. Updater fails downloading patch and gives a nonsensical error message about "unable to download patch, check your internet connection" Fixed in the retail game. The problem is both in the game's installer and in the updater. Closed Beta workaround: launch the Updater as Administrator. Some or all of WASD keys stop working If you have a joystick connected, and it is not perfectly calibrated, then it will signal tiny movements in some direction. These tiny movements overrule the WASD keys. We are aware of the problem. Closed Beta workaround: Disconnect your joystick Crash during level load on ATI x1900 cards The game requires driver version 9.12 or later to function. 9.11 crashes hard inside the driver. Unfortunately there are no new enough drivers available for the X1900 cards. Closed Beta workaround: Rename BFBC2Game.exe to BF2.exe, and launch BF2.exe directly. Sometimes you keep moving even after you have released a key Noted. We have reproduced it at the DICE office too. As a side note: this never happened to a single developer during the past 6 months' worth of testing. Strange. "Connection to server has been lost" This one is tricky. We have no solution yet. Some sounds are played in the wrong speaker Audio team are investigating. Crackups in sound No data yet. Weapon balancing and tuning When we created the first Closed Beta, we picked the most stable build we had. (Well, you have all seen how well that build fared when it faced the real world...) We had to choose either stability or new content -- and stability won. Due to this, all content in the Closed Beta was some weeks old already at launch. Weapon balancing is on-going in the retail game, and we are following what's happening on the forums. HBAO is very GPU hungry, resulting in low framerates on high-end machines We are working on faster versions of the filter. Closed Beta workaround: disable HBAO. Looks less pretty, runs better. The game has high framerate on a machine, yet the input is very laggy We have a fix in the works. The game accepted my serial key, but then failed logging in to EA Online Are you having any exotic characters in your password? One person who had the character ‘}’ in his password had that very problem. Closed Beta workaround: Change your password (using www.ea.com) to a password that only contains the characters A-Z, a-z, 0-9. Then try logging in in the game again. So, that is where we are at now. We will try to keep this list updated every few days. Thanks for your feedback, everyone! -kalms Comments are closed on this thread as we will keep this post updated. Please feel free to post comments in the usual way with your thoughts/feedback on these fixes and responses.

You can hold down ctrl then press j then press enter and you stay crouched to stand back up press ctrl. But yes it needs to be fixed.

Another bug if i type GG at the end of a round i crash to desktop.

There are Hardcore servers being tested, i played on one yesterday, there is one up in London. Less shots to kill but everyone still runs around No hud Give it a try.
