[b]Frohen Valentinstag[/b]
Fight4u wünscht allen Membern und Gästen einen fröhlichen Valentinstag. Und nicht nur Fight4u, sondern auch EA Deutschland überrascht uns heute mit einem neuen, etwas anderem Trailer zu [b]Battlefield: Bad Company 2[/b]. Aber seht selbst:
[url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHyD1bCEroc&feature=player_embedded]Trailer etwas anderer Art[/url]
[b]Änderung an der Beta[/b]
Die Jungs von [b]DICE[/b] arbeiten mit Hochdruck an der Verbesserung der Beta. Leider findet dieses meist nur Serverseitig statt. Vorallem stehen Grafikbugs, Spielabstürze, Probleme mit dem Auto Updater und der Kompatibilität mit WinXP64 im Mittelpunkt. Die komplette Liste findet ihr im Klapptext.

Fortsetzung:
* 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.
