Think I'm done with BF2

[sopek_]

I think it?s your ram.

In my OLD rig I only had a stick of 256 and it took me 5 minutes. Later I added 512 stick and my time reduce to less than a min. keep in mind my CPU was a stock AMD 2100+, even with that cpu I had no lag in the game.

What processor do you have ?

I used to have 2 gigs running vista last time I played, and it would lag a bit on all high settings. I got 4 gigs now and no lag, and I'm always the first one loaded in.

8800gtx
e6600 @ 2.85 ghz
780i
4 gig ram

= no lag!

today i lagged on dalian the entire map. im getting tired of this lag, i was playing in a 24/7 karkand before i log here, i had no complain there, but when i came here i was laggin like crazy.

Nailik try ... if U have still instaled... BF2142.
I`v tryed today and no issue in ... but on BF2 still I`m getting big lag.
My connection time to Cain`s server is less than minute but still laaaaagg.
I`v checked all things and I have no idea where is problem... but I will play BF2 even with lag... still it has lots of fun.
And I`m running XP pro with 2 Gig memory on AMD 64 x2 dual 4800+

its no problem with hardware I know that, unless someone snuck in and switch parts on me

Reinstall? I'm not willing to go through an hour long process to find out I have to update stuff and manually fix PB then find out that nothinghas worked EA!

Now this is very strange. None of you guys should be lagging or taking so long to load.

Do you guys defrag? If you're running a dual core system have you tried setting the Core inifinity?

I agree with you... I have a 2nd rig that I sometimes use if Im usin mah main rig for something that is an AMD 3700+ with 2 gigs of PC3200 and I dont have any issues with it so it has to be something that can be fixed by the user

Exactly. I never used to take longer than a minute on my old AMD 3200+ w/ 2 gigs of PC3200.

Are you guys running tons of background tasks?

I have 4 gigs, and it still takes me 5 minutes to load, so don't feel like the lone stranger.

i think the loading speed varies from pc to pc, i mean i load just after juneau, and my machine is average now.
where as some people who have newer and older pc's load slower and/or faster than me.

Possibly things like drivers (i know mine are old, the newer ones are slower at least for my gpu),
speed of drives,
memory speed,
how fast your cpu/gpu can REALLY work with data etc,
how fragmented your files are (even how they are ordered on the drive)
how your av active scans (ie it scans files before allowing them to open)

Little things make big changes.

and pc's are like people, no part is the same.
2 identical pc's by model numbers, does not mean they react the same.

I think in 40 years, if there still is a server, I'll be playing BF2. I get a lot of lag as well, since I'm on wireless, but I still manage to kick some butt. You could turn down your settings if you're suffering from too much lag, most of it's probably your computer, not the server/internet.

The verifying client data part is greatly helped by hard drive speed. When SighKoPath and I put WD Raptors in RAID 0 as our main hard drive, we'd be in the server doing laps around the carrier waiting for people to show up.
