I had some graphics issues as well wet 🙁 on the road rage map,started getting white blotches.Running a nvidea 6800 gt
there is also nasty lag spots on certain parts of the maps, as if running through treacle! Think its soomething to do with frames per sec.
Road rage in the middle flag near the overpass , couldn’t move. Very similar on Daqing oilfields oil tank flag 🙁
(Hello!)
So AF then, is it going to permanently dominate the server? I’ve noticed that, everytime I’ve checked, since AF came out, the XDC server has been running AF map Operation Road Rage, but with very few people playing. 😕
I’m loathe to purchase another “EA charging for what should be free” module if it results in the only server I play on being empty. 🙁 Will it be going back to the standard rotation? A mixture? Something that lets it get full again? 🙂
Apologies if I’ve completely buggered some words, I’ve got hayfevery liquid eyes as penance for enjoying the sun all morning. 🙄
Well i bought AF , Love the maps , but they hate my graphics card. Sometimes it plays gr8 , other times white blotches or comp freeze. I’d welcome a day of bf2 😀

Why should it be free? A bunch of people are paid to create this add-on – should it be charity?

Hello Psycho 🙂
Its only been on since Tuesday when AF was released and its to give everyone the chance to play it – something we didnt really do with Euro Forces. To be honest the slowdown on the server predates the AF release – for whatever reason – exams, warm weather maybe – and it was getting tough filling the server even on Karkand.
Its likely that in the near future we will include the AF maps into the standard rotation, so consider getting it. The maps are all good – so its worth the money – not sure i would say the same of EF. Its a shame really they didnt release AF earlier – i think alot of people were turned off BF2 by the EF booster and are now going to miss out on some of the best maps.
Have to agree with Lensman – there’s no reason why EA should release substantial content like this for free, one year after the release of BF2. Once everyones bought BF2 there’s no more revenue coming in. I reckon in a few years we will be paying monthly subs to play online games like this and we will look back on the current situation very fondly!

Those days are gone, no more free stuff like back in the days of Half-Life etc. In fact you can probably blame vavle with them introducing content delivery systems (Steam).
So back to Karki, Sharki and Marki then………..

Hi Al,
Used to see you on the server quite a lot, along with Confused Chimp, Maxwell Danger Powers and Scary Snowman. Are some of you guys friends in RL?
I reckon you should purchase the booster packs, sure it’s a pain, but it means we’ll have a bit more variety on our server. We’ve been umm’ing and ahh’ing about how to handle the booster packs, but it looks as if we’ve all got to bite the bullet and just buy ’em.
To be honest I think the XDC admins run a pretty tight ship on the server and we do get lots of regular visitors who play fair and don’t spoil the game for everyone else, and obviously we want to keep those folks coming back. But there’s only so many times we can play Karki, Sharqi and Marki before they get boring…
Karki – 64
Op Harvester – 32
Sharki – 64
Great Wall – 16
Mashed Up City – 64
Kubra – 16
Tabara – 16
Op Roadrage – 16
On a side note Op Roadrage is supposed to be quite good on 16 players, it’s more based over the right-hand side of the map fighting in the suburbs, in it’s current format at 64 players it’s gpu meltdown in the making.
Anyway that’s my 2p worth 🙂
