Just got done playing with some of the jets. I was fearing a frame rate drop while in them. However it actually kicked up to 100FPS !

Seeing as how i only need 60 frames to be comfy in the jet i think im gonna toy with the settings a bit and give more detail. I can deal with 30-40 frames while running around but need 60 while flying. Gonna try to find the sweet spot in graphics....

So far the jets seem CRAZY fast especially down low (and upside down!)

Controls to the Helos seems dumbed down since BFV, almost too easy. Way to easy to hover now. Its like auto or something. Nice to have alt and speed finally, and the ceiling is way higher now!

Oh yeah i highjacked the JSF off the carrier and the enemy saw me in it so he layed down some mines in my path....just decided to go straight up instead! hehehe pretty kewl

Can someone explain the missles on the jets/copters? I aim at something, shoot a missle, and shoots up and never hits close???

well it seems they all have heat target systems so you pretty much have to have the target in sites or that big circle for a few seconds for the missle lock system to lock on to the target then fire. Even still its not 100% you will hit it cause as soon as you get missle lock the other guy hears a buzzing and is trying to shake ya.

UOD or cat yall been able to get the server up yet and with the demo on it? Its fun to play but I'm really pissed at this time limit per round they give ya. And I can't use Butt(_|_)Man for my name?? or can I?? Cause I've tried and it wont' accept it as a account.

you should have had it downloaded and loaded last night RatMan!!!

///Bangs head against wall///

4x attempts at downloading, each time cutting me off at 62%.

Then it clicked...when I last rebuilt my home server, I didn't enable Disk Quotas, and I only had 350 megs left.

Almost done downloading it now.

Server is locked for some reason (hard locked, not responding to anything), probably won't be up again until Monday. I already sent UGS an e-mail, but doubt anyone is there on weekends.

how come damn Xfire doesn't show up past servers played for the demo???

Illini25 · Post by **Illini25** » Sat Jun 11, 2005 7:26 pm

Dunno Buttman

I've just connected via IP so far. Haven't really looked into X-fire as of yet.

I have a question.... Does anyone know where your screenshots are saved at? I took some pretty cool ones but now I can't find them.

I looked in every directory of BF2 Demo and nothing.

I'll keep trying and keep on looking.

LG,

Regarding the number pad..never tried to set any keys myself, sorry can't help you out.

But I would think it would work....Hmmmmmm.

For both you guys problems, It's probably just because it's the demo.

man i envy you guy's, i have tried installing this demo 4 times, all know tweaks and still can not get to not crash to desktop at game load, guess i will have to wait for the real deal and cross my fingers.

thought about reformating just for this demo, but then i kicked myself in the head for thinking that

enjoy ladies

Specs?

There are some posted causes of crashing. I don't want to insult your intelligence or anything but I assume you have read the readme and searched for causes in other forums?

My issue is artifacts from time to time when in game. They look similar to what would happen when ones video card gets too hot or exceeds an overclock limit. My specs are supported but I am still working on the "process of elimination" to find the cause...

Good luck...

i am looking for all ideas on this problem, maybe something on my end, probably is

i have read a bunch of threads and i am at the point where i will just wait for the real game, maybe then they will have it patched, no way i am reformating just for a demo

18 minutes left for me

Hoping that the file isn't corrupt, downloading from the EA Games link... so I've got my fingers crossed

Sava700 · Post by **Sava700** » Sun Jun 12, 2005 9:13 am

The UVA posting on this mark stuff is driving me nuts can't turn it off or keep it silent.. the GUY walking you through things that just shows up won't turn off. If not for the little things like that I'd be ok. I can't use my nickname
Butt(_|_)Man which really pisses me off... so right now I'm using TheButtMan.

Overall the game is good.. I hope the problems above will go away once we get to the real game itself and not the demo since the names will become a issue with clans that user certain tags I'm sure.

If you guys are interested we have a server running over at http://www.zombiebattalion.com with no timelimit.COme join in on the fun till Cat gets your server rebooted.

Yeah Jim..but remember these screens are jpegs and so the detail isn't the
greatest.

Buttman,

I know exactly what your talking about! The damn voice that talks to you about what to do and crap. Atleast he only tell's you about the stuff once and then he's finished...unless you switch to a different name account, which I have two as of now for the two clans im a member of...DOH!

Mark,

You try a different driver? Like Subsane mentioned, "would happen when ones video card gets too hot or exceeds an overclock limit." maybe anyways.... But if not, yeah I'd wait for the real game to come out.
