if you own the ea/dice game battlefield bad company 2 and played your soldier up to some serious level you´d definitely would not like what the developers might call the database layout of the login system for this game. to me it feels like we all paid a bunch of good money to ea to get a better-tested beta version of bfbc2 to own. despite the low performance of some weekend´s stats db of bfbc2 the login systems keeps coming up with some real pain in the ass bug that seems to correllate with the clan tag.
i cannot log into my soldier anymore!
if that´s what you´re facing today try this:
- try to come thru to the soldier login window (where you select your soldier) — in my case the game kept showing me that i have no soldier and need to create a new one (on lvl 44 for god´s sake)
- remove your clan tag and try to re-login. this time you´ll receive the same error i think, but then
- just re-login again and now you can select your soldier again, and also put the clan tag back in.
that solved it today for me. and i really consider not to choose battlefield 3 since ea seems to give a crap for the lots of bfbc2 customers since they seem not providing any updates for this game anymore. i mean, how old is this game anyway?
far from a release quality at all…
i´m very disappointed and wonder when games like of a quality like unreal tournament 2004 come back to stage in times of downloadable/paid content that
- run on almost every system to own
- provide usable server browsers
- allow for community content like maps and mods and chars and what have you
- have publishers that interact with the players in social media/forums (and reply and fix the problems)
- allow for real dedicated servers
yes, that would make my wishlist for today.
oh, and just to add a little tale that all of you bfbc2v players will recognize: the guys at ea really think we want to re-assign the kit specs -everytime- after we have switched to vietnam/original and played a class. so, if you happen to play as recon in vietnam your weapon settings in bfbc2 will be reset; and vice versa. how -cool- is this? never got what a great feature that makes >> always set up your stuff from the beginning. if the game was not that cool, i´d long have deinstalled it!
but afaik the udev kit is also only for windows platforms. not so good, if you ask me. my knowledge about first person shooter development ended at designing multiplayer maps in the early days of being student (no evidence left hehe). but i still can try to understand how good those developers for ut2004 worked the system out. maybe you get my point, i really adore that game and it’s technique.
