Does anyone know how to get the RPG and Gustav to actually lock on to tracers?

Center the crosshair on it until the box changes appearance. Then fire at will. If you're behind an object it doesn't even matter =D.

[Foxhound]

SO if you point straight at a target but are behind a building it'll still fly over the building?

[Destiny]

No, no. There is no such thing as a smart weapon that actively avoids obstacles in this case It's like...locking onto a target, then you fire it up at the sky and it'll go javelin-style on them.

For those that didn't see it.

[Pav:3d]

Im guessing this is some sort of prelude to the main campaign, or DICE have been cooped up so long in their offices theyve lost track of events in the last century completely.

[Wizard]

I didn't get that either

[Kalo]

Twas confirmed that a 1943 Level will be IN BC2 if you were lost on that video .

Yeah, probably set about 60 years prior or so.

[Foxhound]

Maybe it sets up some element of the main campaign? Like some stuff that the Bad Company boys go after? Like an old fortune or some shit like that?

[deltaepsilon]

Yeah maybe, it's like some dynasty or something.

got removed before i could watch it =/

[deltaepsilon]

Yeah mainly intended for console players, but still a good and relevant video.

[Destiny]

I learned quite some things from that video, very useful. I like their sarcasm too.

[Chyros]

Heh, it's a fun vid. But it's obvious you need a bunch of people you know, to play with, then.

[Wizard]

Very good vid. More useful than the nonsense, ZOMGLOOKATMYKILLSTREAK ones you see from MW2

Edit: although he does talk about gravity being realistic and then tells everyone to get over the fact they can't go prone as it's a game it's supposed to be fun

Apart from that self-serving contradiction, it was pretty good, especially with that slight bias against MW2

I did lol at those bits.

[Pav:3d]

Great vid, man speaks the truth

I suppose it's a good thing everyone in this thread probably already pre ordered the game then. That way we can light up some douchebags sometime .

Sometime, I was hoping for something a little more permanent for FS if you get me

[Failure]

I have preordered this at steam.
Beta is awesome. Everything is awesome.
But there is almost 25% chance to get a real team work.
Most times it's just snipers @ hill and assault's rushing the Mcom's.
No engineer's to repeair the tank, the assaults don't give a crap about giving ammo.

Are you guys up for doing a parties at BC2?

How about getting a list of steam nickname's and try working in our FS elite?

Also yay, I'm 11 level.

What we will do on release will depend on how many people actually have this game

[BeefJeRKy]

Is server GET a possibility?

[Wizard]

Yes

This update is about performance and stability again. We are not doing any changes to the game's datafiles.

* Reduced input "lag"
On machines where the CPU would out-run the GPU, sometimes the GPU would queue up several frames' worth of rendering commands.
This could lead to the game having a high framerate, but input still feeling very sluggish.

Now there's a limiter on how many frames the CPU is allowed to be "ahead" of the GPU.
Control this setting via Settings.ini. Default setting: RenderAheadLimit=2

* Performance optimizations with biggest improvements on dual-core machines
* Fixed black "masks"
o The soot on buildings with holes in them had a bugged renderpath. We switched that over to a more well-tested renderpath.
* Improved hit-detection
o We've gone through the hit detection logic, and client+server will now give more consistent results.
* Fix for some "rubberbanding" issues
o C4 should stay attached to vehicles and not rubberband around
* Reduced spikes/dips in framerate
* Various fixes for alt+tab related CTD on Dx9
* More fixes for random CTD on Dx9
* Fix for crash when you're in a vehicle that gets destroyed

There was a race condition in the code;
System 1 thought "oh hey, you're leaving vehicle X"
System 2 thought "the vehicle got destroyed, let's remove it"

If system 2 ran before system 1, chaos would ensue.
This was actually fixed in the retail version since a month, but it was only when we got detailed crash reports from the community that we understood *why* the Beta was crashing.

Likely bugs in this build
I wouldn't be surprised if it (still) has trouble remembering your settings between rounds. It would be nice to have that fixed too, but it's better to get a patch out now, and look at the settings issues afterward.

I really do notice a different with the hit reg and Framerates. But I am still suffering from the "Colt" effect. If I am up close to a target the "first" shot from the colt halts my FPS. And I'm not the only one either. No other pistol does this to me.
