DICE has released a list of known issues the developer is currently investigating for Battlefield: Bad Company 2.
Dozens of issues are outlined, including disconnect issues, log-in problems, the lack of a screenshot feature, dead pixels and many other issues both big and small.
On a related note, the Steam version of the game received an update just today.
WARNING! THIS IS A RETARDEDLY LONG LIST! Reccommend that you get half-way, sleep for a couple of hours, and then finish it off :p
From the lengthy list:
- EA disconnects: Work ongoing in this area. Largely down to bandwidth, mostly fixed. This is different to being disconnected from a game server.
- Unable to login problems: As with EA Disconnects above
- Autobalance: This is an ongoing area we are researching. We realize the frustration this causes. A re-write is underway to address Autobalance and joining friends which leads to team balance issues.
- Scoreboard text overlaps: Fixed
- Scoreboard does not always display ping on certain game types (Squad Deathmatch): Being researched. Data actually shows round trip latency for a packet.
- Switching teams when you are dead, often makes you respawn in enemy territory on Rush Mode: Being researched.
- When joining servers, server browser will often say "Please Wait": Should be Fixed to display Server Full or Password required message. Please feedback.
- Ping in-game differs from real ping (usually 50-100ms difference): This is due to round-trip latency for an in game packet.
- Not always able to chat at the end of a round: Being researched. Does not affect all users.
- Points gained after death are not awarded at all: Design issue, see other threads.
- After a round, sometimes the win or lose screen does not execute: Fix underway.
- Various friend's list issues: Fixes underway.
- GUI issues while playing HardCore mode: Being researched.
- Vsync option is not working for certain users: Being researched.
- Sound settings (hi-fi, wartapes, etc.) reset upon exit of game: Fix underway.
- MG36 scope has no red dot in hardcore mode: Being researched.
- Vehicle optics zoom in sometimes doesn't work or gets stuck in zoomed in mode: Being researched.
- Possible to get stuck half way trying to jump through certain windows, have to die or suicide to get out:Being researched (unlikely fix).
- Certain vehicle weapons fire inconsistently (heli and APC cannon), sometimes firing bursts other time firing just 1 shot: Being researched.
- Users with ATI cards are experiencing longer-than-normal load times: Known issue.
- Users with ATI cards in Crossfire have reported texture flashing/glitching: Being researched.
- Helicopters still rubberband when hit by AA: Being researched (potential latency between server and client)
- Dead white pixel in the bottom right-hand corner: Yep… issue with empty HUD and minor for the large part.
- Dead pixels on letterbox bars in singleplayer: Being researched.
- Scrollwheel becomes "inverted" while trying to change weapon when sprinting: Known issue, potential fix soon.
- Iron sights/Gun models should scale with FOV: Being researched (model redesign is difficult at this stage)
- After a round, many times the "Unlock Progression" page will not show your next upgrades for any class: Server data issue. The progression stats are hosted on a different server to the main game and fail safes kick in when high traffic from stats websites occur and people are playing.
- "Awards Collected" descriptions on the Stats page point to dates that are before the BC2 release date: Being researched.
- 4x ACOG scope & Red Dot Sight disappear on Assault kit when using 40mm grenade launcher: Being researched (model redesign is difficult at this stage)
- The "Play Now" button occasionally tries to connect to password-enabled servers: To be adjusted in future update. Should look for non-password, non HC, non Full, non empty, low ping. On going.
- M1 Garand does not appear in-game for Battlefield Veterans after entering code: Fixed, please feedback.
- Knife is glitched: Design issue plus latency.
- Spotting doesn't function properly many of the times: Being researched. Potential issue with cool down timer.
- Some unlocks don't unlock at the required levels/experience: Believed to be largely fixed. Please research.
- Joystick issues: Being researched.
- Textures flicker on many maps, including misplaced ships and buildings: Some work done in this area, potential driver issues remaining.
- The built-in VOIP does not work: Intermittent, being researched.
- The UAV station, when operating UAV, has a graphical positional problem, making the UAV station appear to be "floating" and not stationary: Yes, low priority.
- Pings aren't showing up in the Steam version: Believe fixed, feedback please.
- Game is not actually shutting down after Exiting the game in the Steam version: Being researched.
- The unlock progression of a specific item does not show up if you have used it after picking up someone else's kit: Design issue
- Malfunctioning C4 (does not always detonate):Being researched.
- Fix the M14 description or the amount of ammo in the clip (description says 20 rounds in a clip, but it's only 10): On the list, not super urgent (but its poor polish, yes).
- FOV keeps resetting to 55 in singleplayer every time a cut scene plays: Known issue, being researched.
- Dog Tags collection screen has UI bug for numbers over 3 digits: Yep, minor and may not address.
- The wartapes sound option makes louder sounds like gunfire and bomb explosions very static-like: Being researched.
- Smoke GL malfunctions. Either does not detonate or does not show as detonated on users screen: Being researched, potential config issue.

- Sending friend invites is very inconsistent: Fix underway.
- When spawning on a quadbike, you are able to view 360° instead of 180°: Whilst an issue, unlikely to be addressed.

- No squad repair points if a squadmember stays on the second /gunner seat: Believe fixed, please feedback.
- No squad text chat in vehicles: Agreed, fix planned.
- Can't spawn on a squad member in the water: Intentional, should occur when you can’t use weapons in the water.
- Isla Innocentes-specific building glitch for MCOM's. Destroying fence next to building, levels the building, effectively destroying the MCOM in the process: Oops. We will work on a fix for this.
- "Most Scored By" Section shows more kills on a weapon than the cumulative kills for that round: Being researched.
- MG shield will sometimes block your view, instead of enabling you to see through it: DX9 specific, fix planned.
- 4x ACOG scope for different weapons "float" 1-2 inches in front of scope's model: Being researched (model redesign is difficult at this stage)
- GOL Magnum Sniper with 4x ACOG Scope & Red Dot Sight has graphical errors: This was a driver issue we believe to be fixed. Feedback please.
- Award Scores at the end of a match are bugged: Being researched.
- "Floating window" after destroying wall. Also, there are textures still visible from the grenade explosion on the wall: Unlikely to be fixed.
-Shadows are very pixelated. Max AA/AF & all HIGH settings won't help smooth out the jagged shadow edges: Unlikely to be fixed. Possible configuration issue.
