BF2S Forums Fried.

How would I go about that. And in simpler terms, how does that affect anything?

No overclock.

Re-install again. This is around the 10th time, I really am getting sick of this game.

I believe its in "My Documents\Battlefield 2\cache"

delete whats in there, or even better, move it somewhere else incase I'm wrong, been a while since I had to nuke mine.

Im not sure about this, but I think a reinstall only deletes the folder in program files, so everything in the My documents folder is still there.  Since the cache is in the my documents folder, you may still have the shaders which could be causing the problem.

Try what this poster said...

Slow down loading a map a small amount, that's about it as far as I know.

I did all of that and still it lags like crazy. And my ping was only 20.

Check your temps?

No. How would I go about that?

If something was over heating wouldn't it take a little bit longer then just entering the game?

You said you had a 6600, so go to the Nvidia Control Panel and then to 3d Settings and then Monitor Temperature Levels. What is the Core at? Ambient?

I have done everything. But it can't be the video card.

When I go into single player and Increase the settings it runs flawlessly. So it only happens in multi. What could possibly causing this? And why did it just pop out of no-where?

In a few weeks I will have a 7600 but untill then I have no idea what to do.

The two differences between single player and multi are (1) more memory is needed and (2) communication resources are used.

Problems with Memory.
* Most say that BF2 runs best on 1.5 gig or more, mostly well on 1 gig, and sluggishly on 1/2 gig  (this is probably not your problem because you seem to indicate that it has worked flawlessly in the past).

Problems with Communication
* If you are using a wireless network to access the internet, you may experience lag if the throughput is low.  Changing room configurations, interference, etc. might be the cause.
* Spyware can sometimes block or clog your access to the internet and to BF2 servers.  (use anti-spyware software to check for presence).
* Anti-virus software, depending upon configuration, can cause major slowdowns in internet communication.  A recent update might be the cause (to check, turn off anti-virus and see if problem persists).
* Your service provider may have a temporary degradation in your throughput that is causing slowdowns in communication.  (There are some sites on the internet that offer "speed tests".  See if your speed to these sites is comparible to the connection speed that you have to your ISP).
