Battlefield: Bad Company 2 multiplayer issues at launch, DICE issues quickfix

March 5, 2010

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 got into some bad start with the release of its Multiplayer launch for the PC. EA DICE reassures they’re aware of the problem, though, and are in fact looking into it stat.

The issue with the said feature is that it cuts off your playing time, or not at all. Other issues also abound, such as kicking out players for a Punkbuster violation, random kicks, inability to connect to EA Online through the game for login, missing servers from the master list, and more.

On the official BFBC2 Twitter feed, they said: “We are aware of the connection issues some PC users are experiencing. We are working on a solution.” As of the last update, however, it appears that they have concocted a more specific workaround for the issue.

“Here are a few steps to try to connect to servers:

Uninstall the BC2 BETA
Look in MY Documents for BC2 BETA directory. If it exists delete it.
Look where BC2 BETA was installed, if the BC2 BETA directory remains, delete it.
Try running the game again.

For all the players connecting to servers and being kicked straight away (and pbsetup.exe or manual updating didn’t help) then you will be happy to know we are sending out R4 servers to our hosting providers which will hopefully solve this issue.”

Now, you may try that one out. We wish you good luck!
