Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Launcher and adding BFB to your favourites out of game

Gossamer's Bad Company 2 Launcher v1.0

Earlier today a launcher was released allowing you to easily adjust numerous settings without having to edit the ini file. Handy little boxes such as fov setting and dx version are included. A lot of people tend to ask how to change these settings via the *.ini file but this does the job using a user friendly simple interface. It is similar to the launcher some of us used for the beta.

Features:
+ Directly Launch Bad Company 2
+ Change Every Single Graphics Option (Including Direct X Level, Field of View, Shadows Detail, etc)
+ Clean GUI-based application for easy navigation
+ Works with Steam, Retail, Direct 2 Drive copies and more
+ Many more features!

Adding BFB-online.com to your server favourites and server history (out of game)

This will allow you to add the BFB-online.com server to both your favourites and history list without struggling to search/ add it in-game.

Simply open Gamesettings.ini which is normally located in:
C: \Users\*username*\My documents\BFBC2\Gamesettings.ini

Edit the following two lines to the end of the Gamesettings.ini AFTER "FavoriteGames=" and "RecentGames=":
FavoriteGames=1686852965,710104a6-7d54-4088-9313-3f7cb799d820,BFB-Online.com;
RecentGames=1686852965,710104a6-7d54-4088-9313-3f7cb799d820,BFB-Online.com;

Save and exit the document. Now BFB-online will appear first in both the server history and favourites list.

Ah, very nice! I've been waiting for something like this. Ini files are gheyy, I like easy, useable launchers like this thanks 1mm3

Nice find 1mm3. I've downloaded it and will give it a go later

what field of view are people using. I can't say the standard one is bad but let me know whats best and I'll try it out.

Mines 55, I haven't changed anything so I assume it's the standard one.

I'm gonna have a mess about with FOV later - I like being able to see both ways into a room hehe

I'll let you know my findings

Hurry up and report back Munster.

55 seems find to me as gives you plenty of view. still leaves the ability to be knifed from behind but I'm not to fussed about that.

Will do...gonna try and set it to 360° horizontal so I can see everything muahahahahahahaaaa

What do guys think of all the options and fov setting?

Some people say they verge on borderline exploits especially the undergrowth/ overgrowth settings and some people having a wider field of view clearly puts them at an advantage?
