Great joystick. Remember to calibrate it in windows if it turns left automatically. And the thing turns off after 2 minutes of non-use so get used to reaching over and pulling the trigger as you run up to a plane.......

It's a small program that runs in your system tray and displays the FPS in any game.
I get about 50-60 in BFV with all settings maxed out. 70 FPS if I overclock to 5950 Ultra speed.

Klaus and I had a fun little adventure last night:
I'm running towards a control point when I hear a Jeep closing in behind me, I turn around and jump in...and Klaus is driving. Hooray.
As we're closing in to the control point we spot a mobile artillery vehicle coming at us. Naturally I jump out to get a better angle at shooting the driver, and Klaus shoots me! Bastard!
Actually this is a really good server. Low pings and decent players (but not THAT good...Klaus and I are in the top 5 usually)
"Racists and homophobes will be kicked/banned" though, so Trany you may want to stay away.

Actually, it was a really bad gernade throw that bounced off your back that killed you....sorry bout that! So after that I turned the jeep around and headed back to the spawn point looking for you - whole time playing flight of the Valkris and hooking the horn.....never did find you but dodged enemy fire until I tried to run an enemy over, who got stuck on the hood and shot me.... fun game.
Wisconsin Death Trip is pretty cool - it's all I play on now. Some of the guys are really good, but there are alot of newbs also. The admins are a bit over controlling but that's not a huge deal.

Well I typically get a lower ping connected then when I ping it from the serverlist screen like you, but I don't even bother if its over 150 from serverlist screen, it will only drop a little, and at this point this game has been unplayable for me above about 120ping.
Filter [4M] with the brackets in your server name list. Should show two servers, one is ususally empty but there is a 40player server thats normally full. They're on the Univ of Washington Network and have a hugh pipe, much like the CSM DC server. I ping 60, and its fun to actually have more than 6-9 people per side.
I've also played on Hellkatz server, not sure where it is but I ping sub 100.

The original email about the patch was a Hoax
But this was on EA's BF:V website the other day.
Community Update - 4.9.04
THANK YOU! Online numbers for BFV were huge the first week it was released and they don't show signs of slowing down. You're all obviously enjoying the the game! Everyone at DICE and EA would like to thank the fans and welcome all the new faces to the world of Battlefield!
Battlefield Vietnam Update For those of you familiar with Battlefield 1942, you're already aware of the level of support you can expect from the Battlefield team. Battlefield Vietnam is no exception. In the next few months you can expect to see updates which add new features, incorporate community requests and add new content. We're currently working on an update which will incorporate some of your suggestions such as tweaking the M60/LAW combo as well as addressing performance issues experienced by some people. Stay tuned for more information on this in the upcoming weeks.
Server Admins Be advised, BFV has a higher bandwidth requirement than Battlefield 1942. This is due to the new features added in the game such as overgrowth and airlifting. We are working to optimize these further, but a simple solution includes properly choking your servers to the appropriate setting. We also recommend that you run only one instance of BFV on a server based on your bandwidth pipeline. Some rules of thumb include: 16-player: WinOS or Linux/1.8Ghz processor/256MB RAM/T1 connection 32-player: WinOS or Linux/2.8Ghz processor/512MB RAM/T1 connection 64-player: WinOS or Linux/3+Ghz processor/512MB RAM/T3 connection (You will need at least 4Mbit of bandwidth) ATI Card Users We are currently discussing with ATI the issues with BFV and certain high-end ATI cards. As an interim solution, if you turn off Anti-Aliasing and Anisotropic Filtering you will have a much better playing experience.
That's it for this week, so until we talk next, happy hunting!
EAComMike and the rest of te Battlefield team

Update 1.01 Info DICE and EA are pleased to announce that the first Battlefield Vietnam update has entered the home stretch here at EA and should be ready for release in the very near future. We've spent some time gathering and evaluating the feedback on Battlefield Vietnam from the community, community forums and from the Battlefield Vietnam Performance Issues e-mails we solicited back in mid-March. We're happy to report that we have been able to address many of these issues for the update.
While future Battlefield Vietnam updates will include game features that were added to Battlefield 1942 post-ship (such as the Voting GUI), v1.01 is intended to address community related issues. The following is a list of the major items being addressed in v1.01. Of particular note in this list are tweaks to server functionality that should provide a much improved play-experience on servers that are hosting high-player-count games (please note the server hardware requirements posted in the Community Update from April 9, fixes to the internal server browser functionality, and rebalancing of the M60, the RPD and the US Heavy Assault kits.
SERVER FIXES General optimizations to reduce server lag CDkey hash added to game.listplayers output game.listPlayers uses the new format: #Id: - is remote ip: : hash: Gamespy port setting fixed game.gameSpyPort - now working game.gameSpyLANPort - now working game.ASEPort - removed (not supported by ASE) All Seeing Eye updated Battlefield Vientam games no longer appear in Battlefield 1942 ASE list Player details should appear correctly in ASE server list CLIENT FIXES
Sort by Ping fixed in Server Browser Scrollbar fixed in Server Browser Soldier prediction fixed to remove jerky movements when walking/jumping M60 removed from the LAW kit and replaced with M14 M60 and RPD min/max bullet deviation increased when standing/moving M60 and RPD max bullet deviation decreased slightly when prone Rate of fire and velocity of M60/RPD adjusted Player movement speeds on Heavy Assault kits reduced slightly Network overhead of vehicle engines and airlifting significantly reduced Added minimap warning icon when enemies are within capture radius of an opposing team flag Keep an eye on this space in the coming weeks for an announcement on the release of 1.01.

Thanks, I installed it last night and played a bit. I can't say that much has changed. I thought they were going to include the buddy system like the last 1942/dc patch had? The M60 is not available with the LAW anymore - they replaced it with some shitty single shot gun.....You can have the gernade launcher and M60 tho.

Are you guys still playing this at all? Goat and myself just got the game running a couple days ago. Yes I'm cheap I am using one of his cd's and found a nice cd key somewhere over the rainbow, but has been working flawless for me. I'll go ahead and add Deathtrip to my faves and see if I can find ya
