As many Battlefield Bad Company 2 players are aware, the game has been experiencing performance issues of varying degrees across the PS3, PC, and 360 due to the “high surge in traffic” experienced upon the game’s launch last week. Well, EA and DICE want you to know that they are STILL working on it, and as a result, have been steadily updating the game’s website and issuing emails in an effort to keep inhabitants of the virtual battlefield calm.
Here’s what we know:
- X360 was severely impacted, and the service is being restarted. It should be back online and we are monitoring closely.
- PC had an outage, but the service is offline currently and the service is being restarted. It should be back online and we are monitoring closely. We will then start checking the quality of the customer experience to determine possible next steps.
- PS3 appeared to have a brief outage, but has quickly recovered and the services is functioning properly at this time.
We recommend you head here to keep track of updates should you continue to experience issues with the game…which DOES NOT include getting your ass kicked because you suck with a sniper rifle (that’d be me…). Hope that helps.
I played on the 360 yesterday for around 4 hours,so I think it’s fine.
Played for about 3 hours last night on the PS3. Had no issues.
Network has been pretty stable, but where is the store update already?
It always seems to take about a day for things to start running smoothly again after EA restarts their servers on the PC version. Every time they do it starts a new round of everyone getting booted by punk buster within moments of joining.
I’ve heard people say that the game servers need to be reset as well. But of course it takes time for the server admins and owners to reset their game servers..
They really need to fix that if they’re going to keep this up.
EA are lyng bcause the ps3 version still has errors trying to connect to EA’s rubbish servers. i can only play for 5min online then it says “Connection to ther server was lost, please try again later” the only way these issues will be fixed if EA realese a patch !!! Now i bought BFBC2 on friday 5th, its now the 11th and i still cant enjoy a full game online. MAG works flawlessly , bcuz Zipper are dedecated to MAG. MAG has 256 players online but BFBC2 has 24 and it doesnt work. EA will need to get thier act together, and they are posting irrelevent info on thier twitter page plus all they are saying is they are doing maintanance for 360 and PC but hardly anything for PS3 !!!
It’s now the 19th of march , i bought BFBC2 two weeks ago and i still cant connect. EA said they put in extra hardware to ease server demand for PS3, 360 and PC , i own a ps3 and well its still not working, i installed the 1.01 patch yesterday, all that did was fix the store issue, i cudnt care about the store, store is no gud if i can only play for 5min and get disconnected. so thank you EA. You have let me and alot of players on all platforms down. BFBC2 is the biggest dissapoinment of March 2010 !!!
its now the 25th of march and this dissapointment of a game still wont connect. I’m sick of the reviews stating BFBC2′s multiplayer is great and this and that. they dont realise alot of people cant play a full match. I think DICE might as well give EA the finger but then again, what do they care, there making money , we spent our money on a product that isnt working. Im so dying to play a full match of BFBC2. I check BFBC2′s Twitter page but they state nothing important only massive sales and stats. Just goes to show EA are the biggest wankers in the gaming industry.
has anyone else had a problem with stars for weapons not working properly or not updating.
i.e i was told i needed 25 kills with the m1 for a bronze star so i used it and got 38 but still no bronze star and on the thompson its gave me my bronze star but i have not stats for it (kills,time,accuracy)
same ere but stoker mac but ive got 120 kills and no star. the strange thing is, it says my thompson has 0 kills, 0 shots and – accuracy but it says i have gold star 1 and need 80 more 4 gs 2. linked with the m1 error?
