I'm building my new rig, It'll be done some time this weekend...how do I prevent something like this from happening to my new gtx 260's?? My new rig specs...still need optical drive and operating system, eventually I'd like to get another gtx 260 and 6gb of more ram, but going to have to wait a few ...

try uninstalling your sound drivers...then restart CPU, they will reinstall properly when it restarts...

here is a post made by one of my friends at PSI, its tips on getting your game to run better....there's plenty more posts made in this section here....

Compliments to [PSI] I.C.Holes -

Here are a few tweaks that may help your game run a little better.
of course these may not be for everyone but the lower end computers will benefit greatly from these.
to locate your ini files go to start menu then to documents.then go to BBC2.
your ini files are there.
PS: always make a backup copy before you change anything.

This game is CPU intensive with things like sound thrown at the processor it will not work on single core.
Performance should be much better for everyone now with full optimization and it will get even better after some patches and more stable.
All the items here should still work and help esp shadows and going to dx9.
Make sure you download the latest video drivers from Nvidia and ATI. Use beta drivers at your own risk.
In Game Settings
1-Turn settings to lowest resolution and low setting
2-Turn sound down from hi-fi to headset (you will have to do this each time you load the game) BC2 uses a lot CPU for sound.

1-Change sound quality to low (also changeable in game menu but resets every time to hifi)
2-Change DXVersion-auto to 9 to force DX9
3-Change Bloom=true to false
4-Change HSAO=true to false (also settable in the in-game “advancedâ€￾ graphics settings)helps esp with quad core
5-Change renderaheadlimit to 0 instead of 2

Other settings.ini changes that you can try

- Undergrowth=â€￾mediumâ€￾ – Put this to low, if experiencing frame-rate issues. This map has a lot of it.
- Water=â€￾mediumâ€￾ – Not really any water to traverse in this map, go ahead and set this to low.
- MSAA=â€￾2? – This is Anti-aliasing, this will always use up a lot of a gpx cards resources. Set this to “0?
- Shadows=â€￾mediumâ€￾- you can also set this to low to improve performance
- Textures=â€￾mediumâ€￾- Setting this to low can improve FPS at the cost of visual eye candy.
- Aniso=2 – Set this to 0 to disable Anisotropic filtering.

I've been playing lately, love it...takes some getting used to, like all new games....I'm a fan...add me as a friend [PSI] MetalFinger

Yeah the hacking and steam issues are certainly annoying, if this game had dedicated servers, mods and user maps....it would be amazing. The round start may be a demolition or other gametype where its split up in rounds, so someone has earned a killstreak and didnt want to use it till the start of t...

Q.) To use unlocked guns or any guns besides what the default classes are giving you. A) Create Custom Classes, you are allowed 5 plus the default ones that I never use - this is where you decide which perks you think would be best with the kit you setup, you can rename this; for example I have one ...

Pyro, should I continue to send u invites??

When I try to add friends it won't let me. It says that feature is reserved for others until I download, activate or basically buy something.It said something about this being due to spammers and phishers. You can try adding me and see if it will let you. User name is yodaddy68. I played a little l...

I dont think you need a Steam game to use the instant messenger...if Steam is loaded on the taskbar if you right click friends will show up....in the friends IM you can add friends there by clicking a tab...whats your name? mines metalfinger81...Cod4 is not a steam game, have you been playing it at ...

Cool cool, ill be inviting u into games over the weekend, I look forward to playing with you all again, so you all grab a copy of a COD4, 5, or 6 and I'll let you knife me!

All JJ said is right about the Steam device and the hosting from Steam for MW2. But I need to add that the Steam thing is good to find your buddies if they're online or actually in a game. You can message them top right in their game ( no lag on that), you can invite them to a server or join them. ...
