TheTank Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 The lag might also be caused by Your graphics card, and of course internet speed, and where the server is located. Try to find servers near where You live (e.g. same country where You live) My desktop replacement has a NVIDIA GeForce Go 7900 GS card. That isn't a very dated piece of equipment, so I'm sure it's good enough to run the game, but there may be some tweak with the settings that could make it run better. My network is fast. I went to Speedtest.net, and the ping was 20 ms, download was 83 mb/s, upload was 1.2 mb/s, so as far as my limited knowledge with computers goes, it's probably not my connection. The only thing else I can think of is that I'm using Vista and I've heard some things may run more slowly in it, or the other possible explanation is that I have a limited amount (<2 gb) free space on my C drive. I would guess a good number of servers are located in my country (US), but I still have the problem with almost all of them. Any further ideas? Well, it's none of them then. Â I am running Vista (Home Premium) on my laptop, and XP Professional on my desk computer, but I really can't notice any difference between them (tho', my desk does have better graphics card). That You have only 2GB on Your C:-drive, might be the problem, but also viruses, adwares and other that kind of sh*t might slow down Your computer, and of course, then slow down Your game play.

Ottae Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Decided to go on Kev's uKm server last night with my very old, barely played "Ottae" account. Didn't do too badly to say I hadn't been on in ages: Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lt_yao Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 What's the address of the server? I'd like to play with you some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercie Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 BF3 - This will more than likely be DX10? Or could it be DX9 compatible too? My understanding is that, as of right now, DX10 is a huge failure. All of this lies on Microsoft too. Note that as we speak, MS is making (or has finished) DX10.1 which cannot be utilized by any DX10 card (you know, the ones that are $300-$800). In addition, one must run Vista to use DX10. Vista chews up any available resources leaving sh*t for the game. Case in hand: Crysis. Using XP, I can run Crysis on the highest setting with max resolution (1920x1200) with 16xq anti aliasing with additional video settings forced (light rays, refraction, motion blur) with a third party application all at a wonderful 45 frames per second. Then when I installed and played it on my Vista partition, I find myself lucky to play on low/medium over 30 fps. This is given that I have a Q6600, 8800Ultra, 2 Gigs of ram and a Raid0 Volume running at 14,400 RPM. You need new drivers then, I ran Crysis at low on 1024x720 (Or w/e it is) with a 6800GS, Athlon XP 2600+ a 7200rpm IDE133 drive and 1Gb ram on Vista, and I got 35fps minimum. Â And 10.1 can be used by DX10 cards, its just a slight shader update i think. Â And with your ram problem, get x64 for it all to show up, I bet if you kept reinstalling Vista and XP, Vista might end up showing up to 3.5Gb and XP go down to 3Gb, its the luck of the draw. 6800GS eh? Then its not DX10. I also forgot to state that I was trying to use the same 1920x1200 resolution. Newest and beta drivers were used for th DX10 card in addition to an nVidia system tuner... Still no such luck. Â As for the Ram problem, I know the solution... I stated that I did not want to pay over $300 for an allready crappy (in my opinion) OS just to be able to use more of my PC. XP has a fix for it, so I just have one more reason to say Vuck Fista. Â Vista talk makes me angry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmachine Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Forgot what I wanted to ask the most . Anyways, another thing. The Special Forces EP is really, really cool, but I wish it was more a booster pack, so I could grapple-hook in Strike at Karkand . Also, can anyone suggest some good mods? I got AF and EF to work, but I see 3 maps in my 'level' folder that don't show up in Battlefield 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*gta star* Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Well, my next upgrade, which should be relatively soon will be an 8600GT 1gb PCI-E card.  Staying clear of Vista for now though, I've been advised by quite a few people.  @lt_yao - IP for the uKm servers are;  193.93.45.85 port: 16567 - Infantry server 193.93.47.168 port: 16567 - Wake Island   @ED - I heard that 'Project Reality' is a good mod.

You won't see me in the second server because I hate Wake... I can't shoot anyone...  The Reality thing was crap in my opinion, I didn't like it.

jimmy. Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Word, Karkland is eons better than Wake. There's nowhere to hide. I'll be on the Karkland server, assuming it's fast enough, in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*gta star* Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Nice one guys. Â My in game name in BF2 is -[K3V-Mully]-, but I'll have the [uKm] tags infront of that. If you see me there, give me a shout. Â Wake, love it. Â @jimmy - Plenty of places to hide on Wake, I can own on there with a Sniper rifle, and not be seen most of the time lol. Â Karkand is a great map though too, if I want high points, I'll go in infantry. Saying that though, just get me in a heli now, tonight, got 184 points.

jimmy. Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 I have 8 gb free space and turned the draw distance down a bit and the overall graphics to medium and I still have unplayable lag half the time. This is only over the internet, mind you. However, I really doubt it's my hardware or connection. Anyone else have lag problems like this before?

Crokey Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 It could be a hardward thing, that little overlooked thing called Defrag, try running that, as it could be that your hard drive is trying to keep up with the rapid read/write time that online games cause. Â And you probably do anyway but always try and look for very low ping servers, and if that isn't doing anything then it could just be thier server or map, as sometime Ghost Town used to lag a little on the old pwn*'s server, when it was on.

*gta star* Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 I still haven't played alot of the BF2 maps to be honest. One I was thinking of is called 'Songua' or something like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmy. Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Yeah, there are always at least a conservative guess of several hundred people playing at one time. It still looks great and has incredible gameplay, but because it is 2+ years old, you can pick it up for 10 dollars new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanillainy Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 How do you tuck and roll? You mean when you see someone dive to one side and roll? Its an animation you see, you don't actually roll. Its when you are strafing to one side and you go prone. Your view stays normal but to other people you are rolling.

anuj Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 I picked this up again after three and a half years of not playing. Earned more points yesterday than I ever did. Â This game still rocks.

Fnorg Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Can't we have a meet of sorts on this? Rounding up 20+ people shouldn't be too hard. I haven't played in ages, but I'd imagine it's still great fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
