vid card should be here by monday

too bad i ordered it before getting a $260 repair bill for my car this morning

good thing i won $200 in TSN ultimate FF

No, that is good, because you would not have ordered it otherwise.

 

[Mad Cow]

Just wanted to throw something out for my FBG BF2 GB's. I had a lot of problems with the NVidia drivers and BF2, but have found some modified drivers that are optimized here.

He has both ATI and NVidia, but I think the ATI drivers are pretty good.

Hope that helps any of you that have had anomalous reboots and freezes with BF2. It has completely solved my problems.

 

[TLEF316]

good deal. hopefully my new card will work fine, but if not, i know where to go. Just go out of good game on karkand. Finished with 43 pts, good for 4th overall. Once again, my lack of team points killed me. I had 5, the medal winners had 17-20. next map, i get hit by a sniper early, run into a corner where a medic is sitting. I dive prone and call for a medic. He proceeds to shoot me in the head and then revive me. I guess he's working on some medal. Things like that piss me off. people that do this should have their stats reset so they have to re-build their i-penis

Sorry I wasn't paying attention when you were on man -- I love that server, only problem is there seems to be ALOT of spawn camping there. (For those of you looking for a GREAT 64p Karkand server with seriously no lag, find the GYNSO server, I'm always on there). I've been on a roll ever since i got the G36E unlocked (thanks for the tip Mad Cow, man that gun is great). TLEF - you're going to love that new card... how much memory do you have by the way? I just upgraded to 3gig a couple weeks ago and my load times have been DRASTICALLY reduced.

 

[Mad Cow]

I am going on for an hour or so in about an hour.

People who pull this crap on our server get the good old ban...

 

[Mad Cow]

I see TLFE is playing Karkand. I will be jumping in here very shortly.

 

[GamerBoy61]

I'll be playing around 7:30 EST

 

[Mad Cow]

I'm coming TLEF316 - just gotta get rid of these pesky people that are trying to buy glasses and give me money.

 

[TLEF316]

just got kicked off. My freaking brother insists on keaping Ares open the entire time he is on the computer downstairs. every once in a while it screws up and boots me. Cant wait to get back to campus. had a couple of good rounds, but couldnt get in a squad because a couple of clans wouldnt take outsiders. Ill probably be playing tonight if everyone wants to hop on a serverand o yeah, 2 gigs of corsair value select memory. Ive noticed decreased loading time, which is nice. I wont be going to 3, since my MB has only 4 slots, meaning id have to spend a crap load of money to buy 1 GB sticks, essentially wasting my 512's i have in now

Yeah, I am gonna stick at 2. I have 2 gigs on my home system, and will have 2 gigs on my new gaming system, thanks to Office Max and its $4.99 for 512 MB PC3200 RAM. Check out my thread about that if you have any questions.

 

[Corporation]

Hey, I'm heading out now. Mark Davis just got the game so he'll be on the same server. Check out the bf2tracker to see what server we land on if anyone is interested.

 

[BoltzNBrew]

Come to 64.69.46.163. Will be on most of the morning.

 

[Mad Cow]

Might be on tonight later MST.

 

[TLEF316]

ill be on and off at diferent times during the day. Maybe for a couple hours tonight

 

[TLEF316]

new card and power supply has arrived and been installed. Forgot to re-attach power to HD's at first, so windows wouldnt boot. I installed the drivers from the CD, so hopefully it works ok. Gonna head on now and will probably be on later tonight

working on tuning settings. I bumped em up real high to start. all effects and AA on high. res on 1280X something. it looked amazing, but there was some bad studdering. I turned dynamic lighting down to medium and lowered the res a little. performance was a little better, but still a little studder. I havent overclocked, and not sure i want to risk it with stock cooling. Ill be on tonight

AA is the big thing you really want for BF2 to make it look better. You got the 6800 GS right? If so, I understand there is a hack out there to turn it into a 6800 GT, which might be worth your time.

 

[TLEF316]

power supply is buzzing. not all the time and not very loud, but its annoying when i dont have the headphones on. Something i should worry about? any ideas on how to fix it?

 

[TLEF316]

alright. the freaking thing will not stop with this high pitched buzzing. Plus, i just had a game where my FPS slowed to a crawl. I have a serious problem. Why did i know this was going to happen?im gonna try puting a fan back in at the top of the case near the PS. maybe it is just slightly overheating. that fan is kinda loud, but it moves alot of air. Hopefully this will work.

I would be a little worried maybe you got a bum PSU.

 

[GamerBoy61]

Anybody playing tonight? I'll be out. Played with One Time a couple of days ago. It was funny, some guy on the server was bragging about how many Purple Hearts he had BTW, finally made First Seargent The flash bangs are cool to have in vanilla BF2

I doubt I will be in tonight. I have to work till 7, then will be playing bball from 9-11 tonight. I might try to make it on for an hour or so this afternoon, though.

 

[TLEF316]

cant play tonight. I wont be around on a computer. maybe a little this afternoon

 

[TLEF316]

ok, i give up. How the hell do you get a gold medal. I had the best score in a round just now (78) 31 kills, but becuase it was the first of 2 rounds of that map (oman) i dont get a medal? what the hell is that? Total garbage. I play so well, beat out all the tank whores and medics, and still dont get the medal. total crap

No, if you had the top score, the gold medal will eventually show. Also, it is possible that your commander, listed below, might have ousted you. They get 2X their score if they win. That is how most gold medal wannabes end up with the silver.

Congrats. Your gold star is showing up under BF2tracker for today.I am only 1000 points behind. Gotta catch up and get me some new unlocks.

 

[TLEF316]

whoo hoo. my first one. I was worried that the commander might get it, but he only had 35 pts when the round ended. We won, so it doubled him to 70. A guy on the other team had 76 and was tankwhoring as time ran out. getting a gold star was one of my 3 main goals for the next month or so.1) gold star2) get back to 1-1 k/d ratio without resorting to tank whoring3)make gunnery seargent.getting closer to # 2, although i had a few sub-par days. Thats something i really want to do. Still ~217 kills away after my +40 today

 

[TLEF316]

what unlocks the flashbangs in vanilla?

 

[Mad Cow]

what unlocks the flashbangs in vanilla?

First the G3, then the FX2000, then you should be able to do flashbangs, I am thinking. That is my next stop, assuming the new unlocks with the boosters and patch aren't better.

 

[TLEF316]

i wonder if the rank requirements will change with the new patch. I know they are adding a bnuch of higher officer ranks (up through 4 star general i think) I would think they'd have to lower the req's or nobody would ever get them. I still cant believe that there are people out there that are 2nd Lt already. Get a life. The highest ranked guy on Bf2 tracker has over 1800 hours

I would love to see that. I would love to open the new patch and see 4 new unlocks waiting for me. It seems like the jump from 8000 points to the next level (20,000) is far too big, too. I could see them adding a rank in between 8000 and the next lower, and then squeezing another 1-2 in between 8000 and 20,000.

 

[Mad Cow]

I am gonna be on later this PM, and then prolly later tonight.I see the tlef is working hard today.

I think they will. Right now 2nd Lieutenant is at 200K, which less than 100 people have reached. At that progression rate General would be several million. I don't expect to see this game maintaining its popularity for the next 10 years Edit: I play a lot, not as much as I used to, but a couple of nights a week still. I'll see if I can frequent some of the more common servers amongst FBGs and bump into you guys.

My in-game name is discodoc

 

[CNUTZ]

Yeah they have to change the ranks. The gap between First Sgt and Master Gunnery Sgt is 30,000pts. I did read they were adding more officer ranks.

haha, my last weekday home before i head back to school. I blackhawk whored for 1 round today. I feel dirty. Didnt get a ton of kills though as my pilot kept letting the other gunner rack em up. just got a bronze in a round at karkand. Overall, i played really well this afternoon. Always in the top 6 or 7 on 32-40 person servers with minimal vehicle use. 219 more kills before i get back to 1-1 ratio. ~400 pts to gunnery sarge.

just pulled in my 2nd bronze of the day on oman. Im really starting to do well on the map. wont be on tonight and probably not this weekend. Have alot of packing to do and errands to run for school.

Hey guys. I have another system question. I've started to encounter massive problems with regular Battlefield 2. After playing for a bit, the game starts to lag heavily, the picture freezes and then lunges forward, freezes and then lunges forward. Then my system reboots. This has happened the last three times I've tried to play, each time after about five minutes in the game. I've run the spyware and virus scans, defrag, you name it. Oddly, now I have few problems with Special Forces, but regular Battlefield is still a problem. Thoughts? Should I uninstall and reload the game?

What video card, sound card, video drivers are your running? I might have a solution, but it also sounds like overheating.

 

[Nick Vermeil]

Pentium 4, 2.4 processor, gig of RAM, XP, GeForce 6800 card with whatever drivers came with the game I guess. I haven't updated the drivers because I've had problems with that in the past with Far Cry. Not sure about the sound card, but it's factory, nothing special. I know this machine is not super fast, but it has been fine until just the other day. I haven't made any changes, so I'm stumped.

 

[TLEF316]

gunnery sarge now just gotta hope the patch makes the next rank easier to obtain, or i may never get there

What kind of cooling you got going on in there?Oh, and I am going in in about 15 minutes.

gunnery sarge

Agreed. I have not been on a lot lately, but want to get to the next rank in a week or so. I have had a couple of 90-100 point rounds lately, so that would help. The key there is maps with few people on them. A 16 person Karkand or Wake = Mad Cow

 

[Nick Vermeil]

Well I vacuumed the heck out of the machine and it's working pretty good. I think you were right MC, overheating. I have two fans working, and they were both pretty dirty.On a side note, I played several games last night as the Commander, which I hadn't really done before. It's kind of fun, and I racked up the points. We didn't lose a match while I was calling the shots. I'll have to figure in at least one commander game each time I play so I can get to the next rank!

 

[Mad Cow]

I wanted to be on last night, but felt like crap with the food poisoning that I had going on. My fortitude is back, but tonight is not looking too good.Yeah, commander can be a lot more fun. One tip which I learned, as well - if the enemy destroys your stuff and no one is repairing them, drop supplies on them and they will repair just like vehicles.
