    Recently got my battlefield bad company 2, and it seams that my gameplay is shuttering a bit.

    I have my graphic set to high, but no matter how low i set it i cant get rid of it?

    its just like i move the mouse and a milisecond later the gun moves.. You know, like a little slower reaction.

    I usually play COD modern warfare 2 and have no issues whatso ever? so its freakin me out a bit.

    Also when i hit caps lock by mistake, or are changing the DPI of my mouse its instantly turns to windowed game.. Why is that? and anyway i can get that out of my way to?

    Thx in advance :)

    Are you playing single or multiplayer?
    The multiplayer servers are having serious challenges lately. You might be hitting slow ping times.

    It feels fine for me as of yet... but it sounds like you are lagging due to latency. Perhaps check to see if it is just you or other players as well (ie check your ping!)

    Usually mouse issues can be solved by trying stuff like messing with vsync, mouse acceleration, and a few other things of that nature.

    You may want to uninstall your mouse drivers and see if generic drivers give you any problems.

    It Lacs very much in Singleplayer when i go by 1900X1200.

    I just tried changing it to 1024X900 and there it goes perfect. So it must be something with my system graphics or?

    I usually are running COD modern warfare 2 by 1900X1200 without any problems?

    Well, considering Bad Company 2 is a very demanding game, that sounds about right. Bad Company 2 is a lot more demanding than MW2, and it looks a lot better as well.

    Remember, keep in mind that notebook cards are never going to be as powerful as desktop cards of the same model, and considering Bad Company 2 was really developed with high end desktops in mind, don't expect too much from that gaming laptop, powerful as it is.

    Protip: If you are running it with AA, take it off and take the resolution back up to 1920 x 1200. Personally, I think it's better to run at native without AA than non-native with AA.

    Exactly, it is a very demanding game that will eat up a lot of your system's resources, so make sure you try out all of the settings and find one that works for you. For me, I would much rather use AA with a non-native resolution, but because BC2 is so demanding, I've learned to deal with the jaggies

    and where do i turn off the AA?

    I just went into multiplayer and here it is running it perfectly? no issues whateso ever!

    But in singleplayer it really does. Not only a little but sp much that were taalking seconds bofre the screen moves when i moves the mouse?

    That should not happen.

    But anyone know how to get rid of the windowed thing when i change my DPI of my razor mouse?

    Or when i accidently hit caps lock its also goes windowed mode?

    Its like my extra mouse buttons doss'nt work? Cauze if i want my musoe buttom 5 to be grenade it wont regonize it. Only the normal mouse buttons works in the game

    You should be able to bind those mouse buttons to emulate a key in the Razer software, and then in BC2's settings, you can bind that key to a command.

    Macro the button. Just set the push to talk to some random key, "O"

    Then go into your Razer software, click on the side button you want, for me it's advanced functions/single key, press "O"

    Done.

    I just tried the macro thing with the mouse!

    It still doesnt work.. Nothing happends.

    I set mouse button 4 and 5 to "O" and "P", and when im in windows it works. But in battlefield it still does'nt respond?

    What can this be?
