Anyone else having issues with this?  I browsed the posts and didn't see anything similar to my problem, so here be a new one....

Game takes forever to connect and load, and even when it connects someone it seems to raise hell with my internet connection, pings spike, I'm choppy as hell (in a lag way, not in a too-high-graphics-setting way), and general SF become almost unplayable...Maps load in probably 3 times the amount of time they used to (I know how long it would take to connect in BF2 becasue it was always about the same spot in the loading music, so I could go take a quick break, and have a good idea of when to come back)...I'm aware that SF holds higher graphics requirements, but all of my favorites that I used to run completely smooth in BF2, I can now barely connect to.  I thought it might just be the initial new game push on the servers causing the problem, but it happens to me in any server I attmept to play in.  I've checked my cable, ran speedtest, scaned for viruses/spyware, task managered off all potentially problematic processes and programs, done a complete uninstall/reinstall of BF2, SF, and 1.12, and still am having severe trouble with it...Kinda stumped, kinda dissappointed, kinda wondering what the culprit could be...Any ideas / suggestions would be much appreciated...

SF in singleplayer runs great and all, but I'm really itching for some multi action...

You didn't need to create a new topic

Get the IP of a bf2 server that you are experiencing problems with and then run a trace on it.  Should help you determine if you're having packet issues.

I fixed it....or rather, it fixed itself...Gotta love how sometimes leaving your computer off for a night magically makes things work when you load them back up...working for MSN Technical Support taught me that trick!

"Sure ma'am, after unchecking that box, you NEED to completely shut off your computer and let it sit for 10 minutes before turning it back on.  If you're still having the problem, give us a call back..."  Gotta love the way they want you to keep those call times low...
