Ugh... About Done

[Nilesjones]

I love playing this game, but the lag and disconnects are horrible. I don't know if it's my connection, my software or what, but it's happening too much. I shoot a guy, nothing happens. Shoot another guy, it delays the kill and somehow I manage to get two kills.

It wouldn't be so bad if everything was smooth, but when it being a hit and miss game I doubt I want to play anymore. I'll probably come back to playing when we get the dallas server. I'll see if that's any better. If not then I don't know what I'm going to do. haha

hey dude i wouldnt let it worry you Ha i have nearly 400 ping all the time and i do pretty well maybe its a graphics problem? checking your temps? the Cpu isnt bottle necking the game is it?

[Nilesjones]

I hope the CPU isn't bottle necking anything. I do have the I5 2500k. And my temps are maybe 60 degrees on the video card under load. CPU is only 42-47c underload.

[SIR Rossy]

even my old i7 860 used to get a few problems bottlenecking but it also could be your graphics what sort of card have you got?

[Qicmee]

Regarding whether the lag/disconnects are caused by the PC vs. the server connection, do you have the same problem when connected to other game servers?

[juneau]

Time do do a rtace route and post your results.

Download the free version of pinplotter and run the servers IP.

Everything looks pretty normal to me. Maybe try rebooting your router if you haven't done already.

It aint anyone's machine. It happens to all of us.

I'm not part of that all.

Sorry to hear that.

When you get disconnected is there an error message? Is Punkbuster booting you?

Any times of the day worse than others?

When Dallas/Branzone was good it was great, but then again we were getting all players dumped out of the server at least 5-10 times per day.

For me Dallas was better but for many WDC has been much better. Always a tradeoff...

I plan to move back to Dallas if they can every get their network fixed...

I'm not part of that all.

again, good for you juneau, good for you.

[juneau]

again, good for you juneau, good for you.

Some sort of personal grudge against me now? Just because you can't connect to the server? Grow up will you.

Cobalt stated everyone was having issues. Considering i'm not having any issues, i presume the usage of the word 'all' is either an exageration or a simple guess.

So, just to reiterate in case there is a presumption here that everybody is having connection issues, i'm not part of that 'all'.

[SIR Rossy]

Rumored fix around the EA forums could give it a go everyone with the packets problem also



JUst open my computer, c: drive, program files, electronic arts folder, bad company and double click bfbc2updater.exe It should take a few seconds then load the game. Your server list should come up. works fine for me hope this helps.
