Bad Company 2 tweaks

[Jay]

What ports should I open for multiplayer if I'm having connectivity trouble?
- Port: 80 TCP
- Port: 18121 TCP
- Port: 18126 TCP
- Port: 18126 UDP
- Port: 13505 TCP

Apparently helps with EA Login
18390 TCP Outgoing
18395 TCP Outgoing
18395 UDP Outgoing
13505 TCP Outgoing
80 TCP Outgoing

Damn you Node.. get your act together already.

EA still haven't got the server software to them yet.

[ResLo]

But they can get it to GA and 3FL? Somethings up there.

Punkbuster Issues. Download PBsetup and update. PunkBuster Online Countermeasures

[rec]

If they haven't got the server software yet, it's because they haven't been approved to run the servers.

Two more that may be of some use.
How to adjust your FOV -Field of View *New in RetailTo force the use of all processors:- Add “+fullproc” without the quotations to your desktop shortcut or Steam game’s “launch options”. (this should be active at release)

bc2 seems to use all cores on my system, so i dont think you would need +fullproc, but i guess it wouldnt hurt to have the command

[rec]

fullproc doesn't work apparently - it used to be in this guide.

Will add the FOV tweak.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 FOV Calculator

[rec]

Already linked to it from initial post.

[morge]

while doesn't add to your favourite here is a list of aussie servers.
Battlefield Bad Company 2 Server List | Search Bc2 Stats, Rankings, and Banners in Australia [AU] - Game Tracker

[rec]

That list is broken. Shows just none of the GameArena ones, none of the Gamers-Underground.com ones etc.

They're probably just the servers actually hosted by gameservers.com as the list is very short.

What about this one?

That still only shows about 5 servers in the faviurites, stuffed if I know

[morge]

But they can get it to GA and 3FL? Somethings up there.

3FL cut a deal with Hypernia to host their servers. Only host who sell game server rental in Aus are allowed to have servers up ATM.

Public holiday in SA today so won't get an update from node until tomorrow.
But what I've been told is they are approved but EA are waiting on this whole server browser load shit to be sorted out before allowing more servers to be put up.
