BF2S Forums I Can't Fucking Stand this Anymore (online lagging)

lol what lag are you getting? you shoot someone they dont die you think your someplace then you catch up an ur in a diff place?

sometimes i lag so bad i can type something and it doesnt show up for a few sec same with kills or someone being promoted

its freaky to see someone say congrats then 4-8 sec later u see someone get promoted

if its the someone doesnt die its the server if not then its ur computer or net

Post your rig specs please. Maybe people here can help you.

nah i think he's just CAL PRO LOLZ

um it could be your fps maybe ? also, it could be the server... ive had that happen befor where my ping was 20 and i would get all jump... its just the sht server basically..

post your computer specs first off
and it would be strange for all the servers u played on to be laggy

granted this isn't the fastest laptop for gaming, it does decent enough for me to play CS:S around 50-60fps at 1028x768 with 2xaa. I get 40-80fps for bf2 online and offline but whenever I go online it gives me the worst lag ever WTF?!

Btw I have no problem online with CS:S, none what so ever! I'm quite sure 6000kbps down/350-400kbps up is not the problem as that is my internet speed.

But are you on Wireless or are you using cable or any sort of those? Because I thought Battlefield 2 asked more from your internet speed / connection than CS:S? Maybe it's your signal? If you are on a wireless that is.

Run a check disk on your HDD. Tick both options before clicking start, You will get a message stating the check will run on your next reboot. OK this then reboot. Let the chkdsk run on the next startup. When you get to your desktop disable your swap file (rt click MY Computer, Properties, Advanced, Performance Settings, Advanced, Virtual Memory Change, Select No Paging File and click on SET, OK etc back to desktop.) Now Defrag your HDD ( do this a couple of times until you have no (or very few) red stripes). Reboot your machine and set your swap file again. The lag sounds like you have a fragmented swap file and this is causing your hard disk to 'thrash'  this will make you lag like hell during gameplay.

while we are speaking of lag, ever since i have upgraded to vista, i have lagged a fair bit constantly on bf2.

WiC works fine, and MoH:PA works fine

You're still playing Pacific Assault? I can't talk, I'm stil playing Allied Assault.

Could be your wireless card reader cant receive enough speed compared to better ones

Bad hardware can definitly make the game seem like it's network lagging. Before I upgraded to my current rig, I had a nice fps on high graphic settings, but there was often a nasty lag that I was sure had to do with my internet connection. However, when I put video settings down to low/medium that went away.

And that was when I ran the game on 1gb of ddr ram, 3.2ghz AMD64 3200+ processor and an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro graphic card.

FPS offline are generally MUCH higher.....On my old computer getting things set up I was running good at ~80 fps on single player, but on a full server I could barely play.

This line just sounded kinda weird so I figured I would point out the HUGE difference in the demand between single player and a full server.
Make sure you didn't test your FPS on like a local server and consider that to be "online"
