Bad Company 2 tweaks

[craZy C]

Tried the server tweak and yes it managed to fix the hitbox's however it raised my ping considerably. I tried several figures form 75 to 155. As Pala said which ping......

In previous battlefields it the rego tweak didnt improve rego, it just changes the the client side view. Maybe in bc2 it might be different. oh well

Fix for Spawn Lag after R7 Client update

Added both the game folder and the "my documents/BFBC2"(or something like that...) to the resident shield exceptions on AVG, oddly enough, it worked for me.
Good luck you all
EDIT: Checked and confirmed in some servers
See, someone that can talk better than I do...

Your anti-virus(AV) is causing the respawn freez. As a DICE-member stated earlier the problems most likely lies in the saved class file. Every time you respawn the game checks the GameSettings.ini file for class configs, and the AV got some of problem with this, making the game freez for a second, sometimes more.

SOLUTION FOR THE RESPAWN FREEZ:

Add the BFBC2 folder in your "My Documents" to the anti-viruses exeptions-list. [ I've checked, and its the only folder who needs to be added ]
Ex: "C:/Users/[NAME]/My Documents/BFBC2/"

^^Careful with that one, not sure if fully disabling a feature for the game's sake is just such a good idea...

Thanks Spiritwalker

Set this up this arvo but not had a chance to try it out.

[Aegis]

why bother? it's fucked now.

why bother? it's fucked now.

what you sookin' 'bout aegis?

[Aegis]

the game, following that nerf bat attack, is now shit.

knifing is far worse than ever before.
the mortar strike is less effective than a bucket of water.
i now get horrible black flickering when i walk near a building - destroyed or otherwise (nvidia driver update didn't fix this and it wasnt happening before the patch).
the M60 is now a better sniping weapon than any of the sniper rifles.

but the knifing is what really shits me. out of probably 20 knife attempts last night, i got 3 tags - normally that would be closer to 15 -except in this instance i swung and missed up to 5 times on most of the attempts including against at least one sniper who was stationary as i moved around him trying to hit the fucker.

[craZy C]

Most of my issues stem from the lag type being experienced. Knife kills were still simple enough for me and I found no graphical glitches. Weapons have been nerfed a bit to much as some produce way better than they should. I guess it will be another patch.

[Aegis]

two types of lag: network and graphical - i definitely dont have graphic lag (unless that black flicker is indicative of something worse) and my ping was the same as ever. at the suggestion of someone on mumble I checked the pings of the people i was trying to stab and only one had a bad ping.

[kernal]

i didn't experience any lag issues, I did however have to stab a sniper in the back 4 times before he died... Me thinks there also has to be a way to stop retards from taking the chopper and bailing just to get into the fight quicker, leaving me to perish in the burning wreak after the pilot-less chopper crashes and burns.

[OverDrive]

Knife nerfed eh? Good. Sick and fucking tired of unloading a whole clip into a guy at point blank range and him swinging a knife once and killing me instantly.

[Aegis]

that's a different issue entirely, OD.

[rec]

How exactly have they nerfed the knife? Is it a range thing? If shorter, how is that a bad thing? It was ridiculous before.

[OverDrive]

that's a different issue entirely, OD.

How?
