After seeing this....
"BFBC2 loading fix released for older Radeons "
http://www.techspot.com/news/38697-BFBC2-loading-fix-released-for-older-Radeons.html

I decided to once again, for the forth time, to check for a driver update for my Nvidia card. Yup, there was one. After it was installed I checked the game. The horrible problems I've been experiencing ever since the patch came out are gone. Now I just got to shake off the rust.


So double check just in case. Hope this friendly reminder helps some of you.


Some extra info:

Before the patch, things worked great. Afterwards I suffered from massive lag, weird crashes, a blue screen death, and constant kicks whenever I tried "enter battle". Whenever I actually got into a game it would appear to lag every 3 seconds of so. I also received some weird punkbuster kicks.

So far I've played 6 matches or so without a single problem.

Sure,

Driver version: 8.17.11.9745
Card: Nvidia geforce 9500gt

It says the driver date is 4.3.10 but I checked for updates several times and it never came up. I thought I was up to date but apparently not. I tried just about every fix offered here including reinstalls, avg permissions/shutdown, tweaks to game files. The only change I kept were the AVG permissions. It didn't solve any of the major patch issues I had but it seemed to make my interface work a fraction of a second quicker. So the only real change that seems to have worked for me was a driver update.

Like I said, I hope that helps someone else.

Well. I'm telling you right now. I've made NO other changes other than updating that driver. Before hand I couldn't play at all. I know it might not help everyone but it might help a few. The AVG fix seems to have done the trick for a handful of people so maybe this will do the same.
