Please post all your issues here, I will read through everyones posts and update the list accordingly.

Performance Increases:
For a possible performance increase try setting Anisotropic filtering to 8x and MSAA 2x.
On my PC, setting AF @ 8x and MSAA @ 2x, res @ 1280x800 on a 8800GT SLI, I have a very stable frame rate of ~30-60fps, this is with LOD & Texture filtering set to High, with shadows and effects set to Medium and HSAO off – it looks great.

Tweaking – you can tweak a lot of individual settings yourself from the settings.ini file in your BC2beta folder found under your C:\Users\"You"\Documents\BFBC2Betafolder. Set things like the audio to high quality, increasing water detail, DirectX version to use, etc.
Manually changing from “DxVersion=auto” to “DxVersion=9” in your "settings.ini" file may dramatically improve frame rate for some users.

Issues/Bugs:
-Some ATI cards causing flashing textures and other glitches with water, scopes, etc. (possible fix - Go into your catalyst control center and under 3D -> Catalyst A.I. check the "Disable Catalyst A.I." box and the flickering goes away. This same problem existed with the sky box lighting in Far Cry 2, it's just the driver software clashing with the games video controls.) Thanks for the tip Gaiseric
Issues/Bugs:
-Doing abilities (such as sprinting or reloading) does not work when zoomed in with a weapon forcing you to manually zoom out first.
-Customizing controls does not work as intended.
-Friends feature not working.
-Ping is not always displayed in server list.
-Cannot sort server list
-A lot of users reporting constant server disconnections.
-Getting placed in random squads even though you were already in one from the previous game.
-Mortar strike is reportedly “moody” (sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t - unpredictably)
-Have to re-pick kits at the beginning of every new game.
-Sometimes a bugged “You were Revived by ?” “You were killed by ?” text will stay on the screen until the next death.
-Inverted mouse setting does not seem to work reliably when switching between foot control and vehicle control.
-VSYNC issues with ATI cards.
-Teams appear inverted at the end-of-round scoreboard. Attackers are listed as Defenders and vice versa.
-Spotting does not work as intended, very moody ability.
-For some users the overall sound of the game sounds wrong. Things near you sound fine but sound effects mid or far away sound bad or very muffled. Some users reporting sound problems using realtek audio drivers, like sounds unrelated to the player (ambiance, vehicles) coming out of only the left speaker and player related sounds are played through the right speaker (player footsteps, shooting)
-Joystick key bindings issues (although this ties in with already mentioned binding problem listed above). Xbox360 controller support missing.
-No character limit on usernames or clan tags… which can sometimes result in a CTD error that reads "Error: Clan name too long" for the player who killed the user with the massive username.
- Some users reporting VOIP transmitting problems. VOIP will not stop “broadcasting” and must be turned off in the options menu to stop broadcasting.
-VOIP doesn’t always work.
-Movement keys will sometimes stick. Sprint will occasionally stop working for no reason.
-Numerous typos. I.e. mortar strike info for Recon.
-Players inside exploding vehicles will sometimes get a CTD error.
-Steam’s overlay not working for some users.

on my crossfire setup the water in port valdez glitchs/flashes , ive read numerous post and people that run dual video cards are having the same problem.

Hi there Im having trouble connecting to EA Online. I also noticed that I cannot log in to EADM as well. So I think the two problems are one in the same.

How about this one. My game just straight up quits. All the sudden I am at my desktop. I have looked all over for an error it caused and find none in any of my logs. It happens at random.

After about 2-3min of being in a server i get kicked for connection has been lost to the server. Only seems to be happening with this BF2 and 2142 are fine.

Well im sure you guys know of this one already. But it would be much appreaciated if you guys could fix the in game server loading crash's to stop would love to try out the computer version because i have bought it for both PS3 and PC. Thx for listening

The above two posts happen to me also. I'm running on minimum settings and requirements, if thats helps. 2gb ram E6300 (i think) dual core, ati 1950xt.

-I am experiencing terrible lag,in the lobby I am @ 100 -130 in game I ping in @ 300-450,I have tried several servers same thing and low populated servers are doing the same. Game is unplayable.
-I run with a crossfire setup and read some issues there-water glass,sniper scope and some models are flashing

Ok after a few hours of playing I have a short list of bugs/issues. I won't cover the big ones i.e. friends list/server list/lag issues as I'm sure you are aware of them.

1) Window mounted machine guns aren't in a window, but they are mounted right on the frame in the middle of the window so you can't see what you're shooting at.

2) I don't know if this parachute in for attackers thing is going to be standard for all the maps, but I really think you should make it so that the people parachuting in are immune to gunfire? This isn't really a bug and I'm not sure that I've actually seen anyone killed in the air, but I was trying to snipe parachuters out of the sky and did connect a few times.

3) Hand grenades don't look like you threw them, they look like they're floating through jell-o.

4) At the end of a match there is the bar with all of your pins. On each side there is a scroll button. This scroll is too sensitive/buggy/bouncy.

5) Chat box issues: Chat gets in the way of nearly everything you are doing. The box needs to be trimmed down a bit. Also the chat disappears when you die and then reappears when you spawn in. This leads to missing parts of conversation/things being posted twice/things not being posted at all. Just make chat persist through death and while you're at it allow me to type while I'm waiting to respawn.

At one point tonight I also ran into a bug where I died with the squad talk channel open cause I was typing into it and every time I spawned for the rest of the game the Squad chat box was still open so rather than being able to move/run/shoot upon spawning I was typing.

Now I'll throw out two things that are more opinion, but something I feel needs addressed.

1) I'm not sure if it was just lag problems early in the day, but I wasn't able to kill people with my paddles. Paddle killing is a lot of fun and I'm just wondering what the status of it is.

2) The overall health of soldiers needs to be cut in HALF. The biggest problem with Bad Company 1 was that people had to take 2 clips to die. Well you guys certainly reduced the required amount of hits, but it is still taking 1/2 to 1 full clip of ammo to kill someone. 3 hits anywhere and the soldier should be dead. I'm not extremely concerned with this one as I'm hoping that can be controlled on each individual server, but seriously, reduce their health by half.


That's all I have for now. I would like to add that I'm pleasantly surprised with how well this beta ran today and also how much of an improvement this game is over BC1.

Hopefully some of this is helpful!

I can't connect to a single game. I can see them listed, but when I try I get:
"Connection to the game server has been lost."

i have the same problem with my gtx 295, textures flashing wildly! but i read here on the boards that setting the directx version 9 works. iv tested it and it does work no flashing/glitches textures but i can only set 1xAA in the control panel? gonna try override with nhancer.......

dx10 seems to be the culprit for me @ the time being?any sli mode just f@ks the whole gameplay experince in dx10.

Have you doublechecked your video drivers? I had some pretty massive glitches and flashes going on, then I updated my video drivers and haven't had an issue since

Just a suggestion

Thanks for doing this, hopefully people will be brief and to the point so it can be taken seriously.

Issues:
- Friends list not working

1. Controls stick sometimes, No idea why. But it'll make me constantly go left and it cant be stopped.

2. Bullets dont register a lot of the time.

Problem: Game softlocks when attempting to login

Steps to reproduce:
1. Install Beta
2. Exec game (BFBC2betaupdater.exe)
3. Select Login/Play now
4. Attempt to enter in your email address/password

Result:
Game will experience either an extreme lag spike or softlock which forces the user to quit game (Music can still be heard in the background)

Notes:
I've tried the following in order to fix this issue with no luck.
-Set DXversion from 11 to 9 in settings.ini (loaded game up much faster)
-added shortcut link w/ +fullproc extention
- Turn off HSBAO
- Turn off Hyper
- Select 1-2 Core processors in the OS
- Update Video/Soundcard drivers
- Turn off Punkbuster

Changing the DX version to 9 is the only improvement I saw in ther overall game, however this did not resolve the hardlock issue when trying to login.
