Is anyone else pissed at how long it takes to join a single game? BF2142 was a lot quicker to find servers, click join and then off you go.
Adding a favourite server can take a decade, checking your history is another century and is never up to date.
BC2, you wait a couple of minutes, the server list is displayed and by the time it is displayed, most games are now full.
Add to that, the fact we have a silly loading dial instead of an actual loading bar, I think DICE need to pull their finger out of their rear and make the whole thing faster.

no.
yep - i might just go hang myself
tbh i have found that apart from the servers search function, BC2 is the fastest game ive every had
I do feel i'm back to nearly 1 month ago with this thread.
End of April you'll be moaning about team balance, it should be fixed soon - hopefully.

according to EA, fixed next week
And Plissken, I also find it loads faster than 2142

there is something wrong with the "Search" servers function. but it is easy to shortcut.
all you need is to pres "Esc' 5-10 seconds after you started the server serch, after 3 seconds you will see most of the available servers.
I used to have a lot of problems with favourites and history, but they work fine now. It still takes a long time for the full server list to refresh though.
I believe it depends on connection issues.. For me it takes quite awhile to join.
To search! LOOK HERE ----> http://www.timelessgaming.com/timeless/forum/showthread.php?8514-How-to-search-for-servers-in-BC2&highlight=How+to+search IT WORKS!!

NVidia fast... Radeon slow... Radeon with DX9 fast... loadings
no real load speed probs except full server list search but if yo cancle the search you do get a list, have noticed that when my kids ar on line itdose take a little longer, other than that no real probs, running ati 5770 dx11 no probs
also you need to remember the sheer amount of servers out there
I read recently that there were something like 12000 ranked and unranked servers on there at the minute
any programme is going to be slow when presented with that amount of data to sort out
at least half of these will disappear over the next month or 2 as peeps realise that there arent enough players online at any one time to fill them all
but Timeless will stay strong and ready to catch those lost souls looking for a good experience!
Getting the admin panel to work, will help a lot! Especially when itīs created by Timeless! Welcome messages and stuff like that, make people think "Damn! These servers are good!". Compared to the thousands of killercreation, elliot ness and multiplay servers.
