This is exactly what I'm struggling with as well. I can play BFBC2 Vietnam for hours in Surround without any issues whatsoever. The moment I play vanilla BC2, it freezes/hangs for a couple of seconds and then crashes to desktop (CTD). I can play the game fine on one monitor so the problem is obviously related to Surround. I'm using 270.61 WHQL and I've tried 275.33 but neither of them work.

Has anyone tried the new Beta drivers (280.19)? Does that fix the issue?

The problem is related to poor coding on belalf of DICE when it comes to BC2 Vanilla, notice how you can play Vietnam all day without a crash in multi-monitor mode? The same is true for eyefinity users, Vietnam plays fine but something with Vanilla is causing the crash

Alright guys, could each and everyone of you go to http://twitter.com/#!/zh1nt0 and post on his twitter about this issue? He's a community manager for DICE, and with enough posts we'll have a shot of getting DICE's attention. They need to address this issue.

good idea man.. we need to apply some pressure and make some noise to get this fied. I can't play more than a half hour in eyefinity without getting CTD

:( Doesn't look like a fix is coming.

That really blows. Says a lot about how they'll treat BF3 customers in the future too doesn't it? |(

Yeah, I'm not quite sure why everyone is saying that they're going to buy BF3 immediately. If anything, we should start a boycott of BF3 until we get a promise of working eyefinity/surround, and most importantly continued support of eyefinity/surround. If we all buy BF3 it will just tell them that they can continue to treat us like dirt, and we will do nothing about it. We are a small community, and if they think we're not worth supporting, then we shouldn't support them.

Yeah, it's quite disappointing that they haven't and will most likely never fix this despite having the fix available.

Personally, I think I finally got mine to work again. I had 5870 Xfire and then went to GTX480 SLI and then went to GTX580 SLI. The whole time it was on the same platform, which was an Asus P6T Deluxe V2 with an Intel Core i7 930 and 6GB Ram.

I've since updated my PC to a Asus Sabertooth P67 with an Intel Core i7 2600K and 8GB Ram. The last few times I played the game it worked fine and didn't crash.

So there's your completely unrealistic solution. Upgrade your base hardware and hopefully you pick something that doesn't have the same issue.

With the coin DICE is going to be taking in on BF3, there's no reason why they couldn't afford to have a dedicated developer or two releasing patches on BFBC2.

So let me get this straight..theres a fix,it was made by DICE,BUT THEY WONT release it?

WHY?

Is there anyone we can email specifically?



BTW i was in BF3 ALPHA BUILD,It was outstanding,HOWEVER,i will still be going back to BC2 in the future,it only makes sense to release the fix to keep all of us gamers happy to keep buying there products.
If they dont release it,the they are inept in helping True PC Gamers,keep to PC gaming.
I believe PC GAMING is back on the up.so lets keep it that way and help out the Pople that buy your Products and keep you in Buisness

The reason it wasn't released is because it wasn't a big enough fix to have it's own patch... since the game's got a strange way of cooking together it's files, the update process isn't as simple and involves alot of work. So they slated the fix to be put in with R11 client patch. Which was apaprently in QA, but ran into issues.

Then EA put the screws to DICE to get all hands on deck for BF3 and r11 never makes it out.

I'm sure they still have future plans to get BC2 patched, they don't just abandon their products, but it will probably be some time till it happens now.

Good news is they know what they broke so we shouldn't see the same thing happen with BF3.
