V. KNOWN ISSUES AND TROUBLESHOOTING
====================================
CHANGING DISPLAY MODE
Occasionally on some video cards you may be allowed to set the display mode to one not supported by your computer. This will result in a black screen being shown. To remedy this use the Windows
Explorer to find and delete the directory:

This will reset your game to the default settings. You can now start the game, retrieve or create a new profile, and re-adjust the settings using the Menu as normal.
Players with SoundMAX HD Audio integrated chipsets may experience crackling and popping audio during game play, if you are experiencing this please ensure you have the latest hardware drivers installed (see IV. NOTES ON COMPATIBILITY)
Players who have the Windows security update KB917422 installed may suffer from an application error when running the Battlefield 2142 demo. This error can be solved by uninstalling the KB917422 update.

I'm on a 3mb connection, so I guess the 2.76 I'm getting now is pretty good.

I think it's alright. I really like the idea of the titan mode and it can setup for some really cool and enjoyable team battles  .
Map loading was almost instant.. I'm not quite sure how my computer loaded the map on the first shot in about 10-20 seconds, my mouth dropped .
Graphics are nice, sound effects are pretty cool. Hell of a lot of lag though on all servers (hopefully gets fixed).
Hmm, not sure if I'll buy this one though... BF2 did let me down.

Only took an hour or so via BT to get my hands on it so I'm happy with that atleast.
As for the demo itself...my main issues are:
1) Sprint is garbage the way they have it setup, no excuses, just pure garbage.
2) Lag at times can be pretty bad.
3) The server window NEEDS to tell exact ping times. None of this "green/yellow/red" junk they have going on (might work for noobies that know nothing of ping times, but atleast give us the option of see'ing real ping times).
4) Balance is sooo out of wack at times it's not even funny.
Overall it's still a pretty fun mod...err...game . Looks just like BF2, but runs overall smoother and loads faster (love how quickly the server browser reacts now).
Not sure if I'll be buying it yet though. I want to see how ET:Quake Wars and UT2007 pan out in comparison. |

Thanks for the DL link... very FAST!
I already pre-ordered but the EA downsyndr...errrr... I mean downloader hasn't found it yet so the link is appreciated.
Little worried about the ping indicator... green, yellow and red??? pretty freaking lame right there... gotta run ping plotter just to check the actual ping on the servers IP??
LAME
I hope the game is as good as the fifty smackers I already paid.
