Cat 10.2 + Steam + BBC2 Beta = Crash

[Tyson95]

I have a 5970 and a 250GTX PhysX card and after installing the new Cat 10.2 I am no longer able to play the Battlefield Bad Company 2 Beta through Steam. Are any of you guys having the same issue?

Thanks,
Tyson

Did you try using the beta version of steam?

If not, goto file > settings

you will see it say beta participation:

if it says not participating, click change.

it will wanna reboot, let it.

See if that helps?

Shot in the dark here, but do you know what the difference is b/w the beta version and the original? I just got the beta and can't see any visible differences.

beta version of steam has the dx11 support for the in game menu thing in steam when you hit shift + tab or what ever.. the non beta does not.. thats the one thing i know off the top of my head but im sure there are some other changes as well..

Pretty sure the beta is over and that the main steam client supports dx11 and 10.1 overlays.

Try launching the game from the .exe within the game's folder. That was a workaround as well for the overlay issue.

Finkus is right, I think most issue's with the dx11 was resolved as it's not beta anymore.

But they are constantly making updates and changes, so you'll notice that you get opted out of participation everytime they make a change, so if you ever having issues, just try that.

Like this new issue, they may fix it already but leave it in beta for a bit to get feedback first before rolling it out to everyone.

It's always something I try first when something like that happens, just because they are really on top of things and try it out to the "participating" beta users first.
