Technical Tips: Battlefield: Bad Company 2

Hi, just wanted to post some feedback: I changed the dxversion setting to 9 and it stopped the artefacting i was getting in-game (only running on my laptop). However, i just got my first CTD!

Running this on my single 5870 + i7 setup. With the +fullproc command line tweak as I noticed after playing one core had been much hotter than the others but with this enabled it's much more uniform over all cores.

I only played the one game though. I will try it again tonight.

God know's why it's not working...I'm guessing your GFX card can't sink that low to DX9 . Dragon, try putting it at Direct X10, then see what happens. You could let the game decide which DirectX to use, however I believe the game decides to use Direct X10.1 over DirectX10, which is causing a few problems. So try forcing it to Direct X10, and give us your feed back . The bloom shouldn't be effecting it.

Also thanks for all the feedback guys !!!!

The munster: How does it run with the setting you posted above? min/max n average fps or general playability?

Could you share some screens of it running with everything on?

He's using hacks and using your dxversion change to disguise himself cheating

I gave up, deleted everything, reinstalling to see if that fixes it.
