    Hey guys,

    After the 9/20 Update:
    "- Removed some memory leaks
    - Fixed crashes when the game attempted to render lots of content (high detail, high FOV or multiple-monitor modes); this should particularly help multi-monitor users
    - Chat window no longer causes lag spikes
    - Chat window reworked opacity & visibility-time is controllable through settings in settings.ini
    - Clantag is remembered when using auto-login
    - Banner URLs can be up to 252 characters in length
    - Minor performance enhancements
    - Reduced rubberbanding on servers with more than 24 active players
    - PrintScreen takes a screenshot, file stored in Documents\BFBC2\Screenshots directory"

    I was wondering if any R1 noticed any gains in performance with the fixed memory leaks and performance tweaks? Just curious. :) And maybe to inform those that did not see it.

    That was my brother. Hahaa. That's what I was saying. I am in university so I can't test these things anymore.

    I gave my bro my R1

    After about 2 hours of playing I really couldn't notice much. Maybe +5fps - it doesn't seem to majorly improve performance.

    performance so far so good, but then again with the pinmod it was always good. I love how they cut the DRM from the game.
