Here is a sample of questions answered within the last day:
BETTER TEXTURES:
Q: @repi BTW Could we hope to see better textures for release (you probaly have them anyway)? And I guess HBAO is this -
Horizon Split Ambient Occlusion Level of Detail ?))
A: @Hotcooler The 'high' texture detail level isn't implemented in #BFBC PC beta. Is in the final release so will be a bit sharper
AA on DX9:
Q: @repi Can you confirm that the team is aware of broken anti-aliasing/hit-detection on PC?
An educated list of beta issues [with pictures!] - Battlefield Bad Company 2 PC Beta - Battlefield Bad Company 2: EA Forums
A: @DiscoBBQ Antialiasing in BC2 is only for DX10 & DX11, we won't & can't add it to DX9/XP?
HBAO OPTIMISATION:
Q: @repi Weird, started with all high settings and have been turning things down to suit for testing. A big jump in fps was the HBAO & med tex
A: @F2CMaDMaXX HBAO is a huge perf hit right now, we have optimizations coming in for it
INCREASED FOV:
Q
repi Is DICE any closer to a decision about increased FOV?
A: @heromilkshake We plan to add support for it yes, can't say for which patch/release yet until it is fully implemented though
A: @GreatAllah We are going to add proper support for customizable/wider FOV, but have some bigger issues to fix first
CROUCH TOGGLE:
Q: @repi probably not a very popular feature request, but would it be possible to get a crouch toggle key? got used to it
A
mitsuhiko Probably not that high priority, but we can consider adding it. Popular in COD or?
INPUT LAG:
Q: just come off pc beta for bfbc2, i cant stand it anymore, mouse lag FTL! i'd rather play the console for this sequel!
A: @Symonator We are investigating the mouse input lag issues
A
Amalric I'm also coming in shortly to look at some input lag, perf & quality issues
SLI/CROSSFIRE BUG:
Q: @repi
YouTube - BFBC2 BETA glitch Posted this bug on the forums. No replies though. Have you seen this before?
A: @wizzler87 Yes we are well aware of that SLI/Crossfire bug, it has been fixed in the final version
POSSIBLE MAC VERSION:
Q: @repi
MaDMaXX's Beta Bug report - maintained. - Electronic Arts UK Community There seems to be over a post a minute on there, i hope this is useful.
A: @brandashmyg We are investigating if a Mac version would make sense / be possible
RETAINING RANK IN RETAIL:
Q: Will your rank and unlocks be carried over to the retail version?
A
heromilkshake Don't think so
FUTURE DX9/WIN XP SUPPORT:
A: The Frostbite DX9-path is something we added for #BFBC2 specifically. Future Frostbite 2 games will _not_ support DX9 SW/GPUs or Windows XP
