How do you do screenies?

1. Be in game and use the PrtScn button on your keyboard. 2. go to microsoft paint and transfer screen from clipboard to paint. 3. go to files and save as Jpeg in your picture folders. 4. Put the screen on a website lik www.photobucket.com 5. upload from there to where you want to post it. There are easier ways to do this, i don`t know them.

I use fraps. Easier than doing the whole paint thing. (Just google fraps). It will also show you the fps in game if you turn that on If you want the direct link here it is www.fraps.com/download.php
and then yea use photobucket.

I use xfire. You can hit scroll lock+s and then the screenshot will get uploaded to your profile page automatically when you exit the game, then you can use their hosting space and show off the full screen image without any trouble.

They have bb code already so that you can post a small image that is clickable to get the full image (actually a couple different sizes, as shown below). Plus FPS counter, web access in game and good voip.










maxed out settings. 1920x1080 8xAA 16xAF high everything...still 60fps also notice who just got killed in the first picture?

Ok I definitely need a new video card since my rig is almost identical.

Good playin JDC! We won at least 10 games in a row! I bet my win/loss ratio is through the roof now Did any of you guys get my friend requests?

[OpStar]

I added everyone I got a request from.

[Snakespy]

Requests have been re-sent to all I don't have again. Hopefully they are actually sending. Anyways my take on the game has changed drastically. Now that I have some weapons and gadgets to play around with I am stacking up points like none other. My kd sucks but hey I'm getting used to that not mattering. Hardcore mode FTW! Can't wait to get a full squad going someday!

[JDC]

Some good games last night, even though our teammates were spawn killing, lol.

I don't think I played hardcore mode before that, it was quite different. I have to remember if I'm repairing a tank not to stand directly behind it, oops.

Bad Company 2 Patch Wednesday
[Apr 19, 2010, 2:03 pm ET] - 4 Comments
Electronic Arts UK Forums offer a change list for R7 client and R10 server patches for Battlefield: Bad Company 2 that EA expects to test on Steam beginning tonight with the plan of releasing the updates to the world at large on Wednesday morning, European time (thanks Steve O). The new version adds a new server browser, a 15 second spawn timer for Conquest/Rush gamemodes at the start of round, and weapon balance tweaks, though they say they are not revealing these for now, as "we want your unbiased views on the changes before we detail what has changed." The extensive list of changes follows.
In the mean time here is the R7 client changelist.

MP – New Server browser
MP – Added 15 second spawn timer for Conquest/Rush gamemodes at the start of round to prevent high end machines getting the upper hand before other machines load in.

SP – Supply create at “Resupply at Flynn’s create” objective now supplies weapon ammo
SP – Hang fix when reaching the objective “Destroy Enemy Zu23”

SP – Game no longer crashes when transitioning between SP_03B to SP_04A when installed in Polish
SP – Game no longer crashes when killed by the first two enemies in the trenches on SP_01 when installed in Italian
SP – Updating to R7 will invalidate your single player save game. If you update you will need to play your last mission from the start. If you do not update you will not be able to play multiplayer.
Here is the R10 Server changelist

Punkbuster is required ON for ranked servers
Ranked servers cannot be started with a password
Autobalance message goes to text-chat instead of in the middle of the screen
Added weapon balance tweaks to a number of weapons – we are eagerly awaiting feedback!
We aren't going to tell you what weapon balance tweaks we have done, we want your unbiased views on the changes before we detail what has changed.

Some nice changes coming, can't wait for these.

I especially like the fact that they're not detailing which weapons were changed, so that we can better evaluate the changes without a bunch of irrelevant whining.

What baffles me though, is that some of these problems are the EXACT problems they had with BF2 and BF2142. When will they get it right on the first try? I'm not talking weapon balance, but the server browser issues, saving filters, saving weapon loadouts, things like that.

I bought the game, tons of fun. But ya the server browser is so annoying. Why make the favroites list so complex? Why not save the weapon load outs? In bf2 I think there were only 3 different guns you could changeout and that was the only customization available, but as I'm rakning up I notice that you get a bunch of different options in BC2.

Anyone notice an overuse of the bloom feature? Or is it intentional? On maps with bright sun the glare is a little irritating. Any way to turn it down? I guess brightness? I haven't messed with it

They already adjusted down the brightness in the desert map once if I recall correctly, as it was ridiculously bright at launch. I forget if there is a bloom option in the settings?

Yup the desert map is extremely bright no matter what you do..

[Nater]

I'm really glad that they are fixing the brightness issues in Russian vehicles. It's really annoying when you're cruising around in a T90 on Atacam Desert Conquest. It doesn't seem to be as bad in the BMP, but maybe I have just failed to notice it.

I really wish they'd add transport helos to Atacama Desert as well, they need them in at least one conquest map. That and the damn voice issues, I can never seem to talk to anyone without using Ventrillo.

mp – kit/gadget loadout saved between sessions
