Also, to point out, DICE don't have the manpower on hand to do the latest BC2 patch. When they say their focus is on BF3, it means just that. After BF3 is "done", they'll start looking at that to-do list for BC2. Another thing that I wonder is how many people believe that DICE is "big enough" to do BF3 and BC2 patching at the same time.

Unfortunately, I may not be able to try the latest BC2 patch when it's finally out. My focus will be on BF3 first so tinkering with the latest BC2 update will be second priority. Ironic, ain't it? Their focusing on BF3 to make it good while we're stuck with crashing Eyefinity/Surround setups. By the time BF3 is out, some/lot of us will be past that and be playing BF3.

Hopefully BF3 wont have the same CTD problems.

Hey guys

It looks like the multi-monitor fix is going to be officially rolled out soon. The R11 beta just went live, and DICE said if it looks good, they will issue an official patch.

The patch notes include fixes for crashes due to high detail, high fov, or multi-monitor.

This is great news!

Ooh wow they're finally getting us the R11. Nice!

I played the R11 beta for a couple hours and no issues. Looks like they may have fixed the issue.
But I dont care, I am pretty sure that once BF3 is out I will never touch BC2 again.

I'm in the same boat as you. I'll never play another minute of BC2 once BF3 is out, but at least this gives me confidence that the very same eyefinity/surround CTD issue won't be in BF3.

I was very concerned that DICE's left hand (BC2) wouldn't know what the right hand (BF3) was doing, and we'd wind up with the same legacy CTD issues in BF3.

Well it is the same guys deving both.

Given it a try and it is sweet, no CTD running all high x4/x16 at about 100FPS. Pity there are almost no servers, a few in US and Holland. Empty too.

Crap! I was so excited when i saw this but then quickly let down when i saw it isnt compatible with the steam version. :(

Probably won't be long until it's live though. I mean it made it finally through internal QA, this open beta should be short.

If you are planning on buying BF3 you may as well DL Origin. I deleted BC2 from Steam and DL on Origin to test out R11.
