OK, as with any new game there will be issues like connection problems, lag and good ol fashion crashes back to your desktop. It sucks but eventually if the game is popular these things get worked out. Till then I have discovered a few things to help out.
In your "My Documents" folder there should be a yellow folder which reads "BFBC2". Open that folder up and then open up "settings.ini" This is how mine is set up.
[WindowSettings] Width=1680 Height=1050 Fullscreen=true RefreshRate=59 VSync=true [Sound] Quality=high VoipEnable=true SpeakerCount=0 [Graphics] Effects=medium Soldiers=medium Vehicles=medium Overgrowth=medium Undergrowth=medium StaticObjects=medium Terrain=medium Shadows=medium Bloom=true HSAO=false MSAA=0 Water=medium MainQuality=medium Texture=high DxVersion=9 Aniso=2 Detail=medium RenderAheadLimit=0 Fov=74
Many people have issues with the DX 9 which can lead to crashes. I have found that for me DX9 works best but just try DX10 to see if your machine plays it OK.
To change it just click next to the number, backspace to remove it and type in the number you want, 9 or 10.
BLOOM - There is controversy over this setting. I have played with it set at "false" and "true" and seem to have nicer play at "true". It has to do with graphics, such as effects, sunrays, etc.
The next big thing to check out is to set your shadows to low or medium. For those wanting a better frame rate try "low" for the shadows. You can always change it later. Remember to SAVE your changes and it may be a good idea to save the original settings elsewhere just in case you want to reset it. 50 or higher FPS is an ideal rate for this game.
Make sure you check for updates for your software, I disable all my firewalls and virus stuff when playing so check that also if you're having connection issues.
When you hit the "refresh" button to get server info and your game crashes do not wait for the servers to refresh on their own then but rather force them to do it by hitting "cancel" a few seconds after hitting the "refresh" button. This might help the crashes. This game is buggy!!
Here is some in-game info on weapons, their fire rate, damage and info on player types and their specific weapons.
