BFBC2: Poorly Ported to PC

Game works fine on my Q9400 @ 2.7GHZ board and 9800GT 512 graphics card with all the graphics cranked up to the max. Only problems I have are some minor snagging issues, a lack of sensitivity settings and the horn. OH GOD TURN OFF THE HORN.
Oh and the fact my knife wouldn't work with the mouse button I'd used on the BETA version, but it's fixed now.

i got no problems apart from the servers so I am willing till they get patches and hardware upgrades but on my 4GHz i7 920 with a 20% over clocked 5970 and 12gb of DDR3 at 1800MHz water-cooled I see no problems and I get to play the game at about 100 fps+ (with fraps enabled) and if I have V sync on it hardly ever moves/stutters away from 60fps.
You are either lying or are using some shitty, basic CPU and GPU with what, 1GB RAM?Zenode said:
It's amazing how people buy the weakest quad core, a mediocre-bad GPU and expect DirectX 10 games to run flawlessly or even correctly.
E6300 OC'ed to 3.4 GHz, can OC to 3.6GHz but it's not as stable as at 3.4, and any higher it doesn't launch (too weak PSU).
9800GT with a bit better than stock cooler.
4GB RAM, but since I'm on a temp OS, it's only 3.25GB.
1680x1050, everything Medium, only bloom turned off because it was distracting.
You can OC an E2140 to 3.6GHz if you are a pro. My cousin did so ;dAC10 said:
Last time I ever post anything with technical considerations on these forums. I mean, if some kid tells me he has a pentium core duo and it works fine for him, obviously I'm wrong.
Anyhow, I've managed to smooth the hitching out a bit through tweaking- but the game still bogs down from time to time and my GPU is still under-utilized.
I think it's funny that it ran better in XP 32 than it does in Win7 64 w/ DX9 forced and everything on low. It'd be a hell of a lot easier to go back to XP than run out and buy a quad core, that will be grossly obsolete in a year when intel drops Sandy Bridge, for one game that wasn't optimized properly.
They will hopefully patch it up, but by that time it'll be a bit late for me to really care. Another item on the nitpick list that made this game a dud.

Then either your PC is crapped to death with spyware/viruses, or your GPU sucks. 8600 is almost... what, 4 series old? 2 if you don't count laptops. My 9800GT is the previous generation and I bought it when Fallout 3 came out. So sorry, don't buy crappy pre-mades or crappy GPU/CPU combos. Or you won't be able to play the newest games.Zenode said:
Like someone said - pebkac.
Running just fine over here.
Yeah there's connection and server browser issue's, but the game runs fine.
Fun as hell too!

Dont condensend on people because you think you're all high and mighty. BFBC2 DOES have performance and optimisation issues. I can run Just Cause 2 on max, which looks a hell of a lot nicer that bad company, and runs dead smooth, whereas bad company gets choppy on medium sometimes.Abedeus said:
Its hardly pebkac if its an issue with his hardware, or the company that badly ports a game.
I haven't been experiencing any problems with BFBC2 for the PC.
Well, okay, I was getting blue-screens, but that's because the game didn't quite agree with my overclock. I turned it down and I was good to go.
That said, though, there ARE performance issues with the game. I can't run it at 1680x1050 and had to turn it down to 1440x900. I also had to turn down the Anti-aliasing to 4x and the AF to 4x as well. Anything higher and the framerate started to chug. Still looks pretty damn nice, though.

I've come to expect any multiplatform game on the PC to just be a terrible port. As some fellow mentioned earlier, I'll only be buying like 2 games a year. But they RAWK!
...And why does it always have to be about new games anyway? I have more fun with the good oldies. Games get worse with each passing year and I'll probably just have give up on the hobby within the decade.

Somehow, I doubt the game is more popular than both of the consoles put together AND it's a bad port.Icedshot said:

Point is - 8600GT is an almost 3 year old card. Tests showed that 8600GT is 20% faster than 7600GT, a card of even older generation.
You can't buy a 25 year old Ford and expect it to run as fast or burn as little as a new Mercedes.
The game is popular because (at least for me) its a fantastically good game, and i think the consoles have both outsold the pc now, so kind of invalid.Abedeus said:
The point is, i can play better looking games better and faster than this one, which means that at some level, its been badly made somewhere.
Yeah, the console version outsold the PC version, but there are still more PC players than on both consoles together...Icedshot said:
That makes a LOT of sense. Also, just because you or even a hundred of people have problems with the game, doesn't mean those 2-3 millions have them.
