Settings file location
The location of the various engine files are located in
C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Documents\BFBC2\
but easiest way is to use available third-party configurators. You can also find your Saved Game here, it's called GameSettings.bin
Issues and Fixes
Changing FoV
To change the FoV, first locate the BFBC2 folder under user documents.
C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Documents\BFBC2\
Find the settings file named settings.ini, then locate where it says Fov under the Graphics section. Now input your desired FoV and then save the file.
Be aware that the field of view in BFBC2 is calculated vertically, that means if you desire a 90° horizontal FoV, you must first convert it into vertical FoV. You can use this tool to do so: Battlefield: BC2 FoV Calculator. Examples: 90° @ 1920 x 1080 = 59° vertical FoV. 90° @ 1920 x 1200 = 65° vertical FoV.
Unable to update
- Start the game and log-in to your account
- Hit CTRL+ALT+Del to bring up task mgr
- Run the Updater program
- When you receive the error "can't replace bfbc2.exe because it's in use. Close the file and try again".
- There will be 2 buttons: retry and cancel.
- Go to Task Mgr and end the BFBC2.exe process
- Click on retry
- Success?
FPS Boosts
If you need a few tweaks to boost your framerate, try changing these vars in your "settings.ini" file:
RenderAheadLimit=0 HSAO=false Overgrowth="medium" Undergrowth=”medium” Water=”medium” MSAA=”2" Shadows=”medium” Textures=”medium” Aniso=2
Force DirectX Level
Go to the "settings.ini" file and change:
DxVersion=#
from auto (default) to 9 if you want to force DX9, to 10 to force DX10, and to 11 to force DX11
Hit Registration and Lag
There is no 100% fix for hitreg atm, since that's servers/engine fault.
Possible LAG Compensation:
SettingsManager.floatSet GSDefaultLatencyCompensation 0.100000 SettingsManager.U32Set GSInterpolationTime 100
Add these cvars to you ini files found in you BFBC2 folder in your my documents folder. You want the numbers to represent you average ping (i.e. 120ms would make the cvars 0.120 and 120). Again I will stress that there is still a chance that they will do nothing...try 'em out if you care.
Blinking black screen
Go to
C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Documents\BFBC2\
Open settings.ini with a notepad and find HSAO line. You should change it to false, so it will look like HSAO=false. That's it. No frustrating blinking black screen.
