Hello everyone. For some reason, when playing BC2, the screen will flicker between the textures and a black screen for a few seconds. When it is a black screen, however, I can still see the spotting triangles (but nothing else). It will happen maybe once out of every 10 games I play. I've never had this problem with any other program or setting; it's just when I play BC2 on multiplayer. It doesn't even happen when I'm playing single player. This is my computer: [URL='http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01701249&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&jumpid=reg_R1002_USEN#N886']http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01701249&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&jumpid=reg_R1002_USEN#N886[/URL] I post a link because I don't know what hardware I need to list for y'all. Oh, and in case it makes a difference, I access the internet through wi-fi; it's a cable modem and the router is like 10 feet away.

I had this problem frequently during the early versions of the game. It has nothing to do with your internet connection. I still get this problem for a few seconds maybe once in 30 games. It's like blackness in large pixelated blocks that moves to some degree as you look around the screen. The fix is very easy: Just look around in a circle, and it'll disappear. If this is not what you're describing, then ignore what I said, but if what I'm describing sounds like the problem you're having, give it a try and let us know.

I had a similar problem when I first installed the game, and the solution for me was to update my video card drivers

update driver and make sure the game integrty is good.. i use steam where there is a option where u can check if the files are not corrupted. You got a 9800GT with vista 64 bit. 258.96 WHQL is the lastest driver for nvidia.com so check that driver out. i had that same problem with my ATI .its not hardware issue its driver.

Because honestly it hasn't mattered much before now; I was really just surfing and doing light-use interneting. I'm going to get a cable when I get my headset...but that'll be a couple of weeks.
