I DID SEARCH!
PROBLEM SOLVED
BF2 has been fine since the day I bought it. I had lag for a while at first, but i fixed it when I turned off Windows Zero config. I haven't had lag since, but a few days ago my hard drive crashed and I had to get a new one.
I installed everything back, bf2, sf, and patch 1.3, then I tried to play. I start playing and i get "There is a problem with your connection." I assume this would only happen once so I continued. It happened again so I shut down the game to search for the problem. At first I thought I forgot to turn off Windows Zero Config, but when I turned it off I still got the message. I have tried...
Turning off the firewall
De-fragmenting
Running bf2 in affinity mode
Disabling Xfire and AVG
Manually updating Punkbuster
Removing the BF2 folder in My documents and retrieving my account
Updating Nvidia Drivers
Reinstalling patch 1.3 (Full)
Restarting the computer
Uninstalling AVG
Reinstalling BF2
Reinstalling Wireless card Drivers- FIXED PROBLEM
Updating Wireless card Drivers- Performance increase
Installing patch 1.4- Performance increase
Specs (according to xfire)-
(Its a Dell Xps generation 4)
Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.40GHz (2 CPUs)
Memory: 2048MB RAM (2x 512MB, 1x 1GB)
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 6800
Sound Card: SB Audigy 2 ZS Audio [DCC0]
Wireless router: Linksys WRT54GX
(Tell me if I need to include anything else)
NOTE: The message doesn't always disconnect me, but the game is still unplayable. Also, I'm no computer genius, I'm only 13. Oh and If I have to do anything in BIOS (?), I can't. Dell disabled that so they wouldn't get hundreds of technical support calls from people who accidentally overclocked there processor, Video card, etc while messing around with it.
Oh and yes, my return/enter key hates me for typing this post
