BFBC2 Crash to Desktop using either Surround or Eyefinity

[asuddendeath]

so can someone please contract them and find out when the update is going to happen? this is gone on way to long for a what seems to be easy fix.

thanks

The main problem being that every update is a MASSIVE download due to the crap way they have made the game engine. So unless they have a fair few things to fix they won't release it. Which sucks :(

I crash only on newer maps during rush mode.

EA needs to patch it now or someone has to figure a way to leak it and not get caught for the sake of the community

I got BC2 for free a little while ago, and I've never ahd a single crash to lock-up wheil playing using Eyefinity..

Same name as here, btw, if anyone wants to add me :) Qutie a different toen from the other onlien games i play, but it's rpetty fun. Although i really suck at it, thus far. But getting better, slowly.

Yes it will be out before BF3 ;)

We’re doing packaging and QA work on it. No ETA. As you already noticed yourself, premature posting about it on the internet forums just results in getting flamed.

Thanks for the update. Think that is ok news.

Tell him to go check EA's own forums. They have been getting flamed for months about this issue. They are getting flamed everywhere over this.

Sorry friend you where getting flamed long before anyone spoke of a fix lol.

Hi all,

I was having this issues for months using 3 x 24" on Landscape. Due to Borderlands, I changed my screen position to Portrait since then I played around 10 hrs of Bad Company 2 without any crash.

Anyone else noticed/tried that?

[poo417]

Yeah but the last thing they need is 100 posts a day saying 'when is the patch coming', 'OMG the patch is late', 'This game sucks I'm off to play COD' blah blah. Then of course there would be 100 posts and polls on how bad the performance will be after patch etc.

They made the mistake before of posting a patch was in the pipeline and all it led to was a bunch of stupid feckin posts.

At least they are trying to do something about it. Lets be honest there is not huge numbers of people with three screens so they are fixing a problem that affects a small amount of players.

and all the non 3screeners don't want it patched as they believe it will screw up their game. EA is not ignoring us which is great.

[asuddendeath]

you 2 make a good point, however there are more and more people with 3 screens. Google the issue and you will see a lot more people then u think play like this.

I do thank the people that let us know there is a working patch, im sure it will be here soon. That will be a good day.

[asuddendeath]

any updates?

[krog]

any updates?

Ya really I had to finally start Playing with only 1 screen on both my PC's. Both my ATI trifire 6950's in eyeinfinity and my tri sli 580 in surround both CTD in only this Damn game!

The brass at EA must have them working too hard on BF3. No idea still except for R11 is indeed being worked on.

I think DICE has borrowed clocks from Valve.

Nope, DICE just has the worst QA process in the world. Remember when they removed tracers from bullets by accident (which took several weeks to fix)? Honestly, how is that even possible? What does their QA process entail that they can't even realize that the tracers are missing? If they bothered to play the game for 5 minutes they would realize that. They expect us to believe that they need to test these patches for months and then they miss something that can be noticed in minutes? Hmmm... yeah, I don't think so.

Also, not patching the game to fix issues because you're afraid of other issues cropping up isn't a good excuse. If I try that on my boss, he would fire me on the spot. Write good code, and test it thoroughly. Apparently, this is too much to ask from DICE.

To be fair, it seems like this is too much to ask of nearly every game dev. Has been for years - ever since the internet got popular and they could just patch any screwups.

It's now been well over 6 months since the issue was brought to attention, followed by them stating they had a fix and then nothing since. I can't imagine one good reason at this point if they fix it why I would play it now when so many other good games are available and BF3 itself is near 6 months away. Thanks for nothing DICE.

How much do you want to bet that the same issue will be in BF3, or something worse?

Just like all EA games. Recall how bad BF2 was for a while. BF3 is gonna be some sweet shit but im sure it will have its issues too. oh well lol

[Hanmat]

New Nvidia drivers are available . I have installed and so far so good . Fingers crossed :)

[tet5uo]

Strange.. they didn't think the issue could be fixed without an application update... Crossing my fingers for you too.

And c'mon DICE, I know they must have all hands on deck for BF3, but at least put out r11 already!

[Mach1.9pants]

Oh really? I will try that soon to. Been playing Portal 2, thanks for the heads up.
