I have only just started playing BF2 over the past couple of months and been having a ball but since I have used the latest patch the game seems to have gone arse up. When in game play; Particularly whens there's heaps going on I get stacks of lag making it very hard to compete and at other times the whole game seems to float making it impossible to compete. Is it just me having this problem? or is the patch a piece of shit?
the whole game is a piece of shit
Í don't have the problem, maybe you should turn your graphics lower. If you can't go any lower (like me) try playing on 32/16 player servers, it's more fun, less chaos and if you computer sucks less lag
I think after the last patch, there was more fine detail in the game.
I don't get lag so I don't know about that part, but if the detail was increased maybe that's why.
I'm sure someone will know, I could just be imagining the whole thing

I 'do not understand what your saying..
And I thought I was imagining things! Yes the game has started to give me higher pings than usual, and it seems as all the servers have auto kick for ping, meaning I will be on corporal for awhile...
Tell me if i'm wrong but I doubt a new patch would make your ping go higher... that may just be caused by your service provider being a bit shit. I go through phases, like 2 or 3 weeks, of getting a load of lag, just because my internet is temperamental. However, your computer itself lagging could be cuased by the last patch... as someone else said it may make the game more detailed = more lag. Just put your graphics down to the lowest settings and find servers that don't give you a high ping, as that would just make it worse.
Also, you may wanna check your graphics settings every once in a while. Recently my mate has found that his graphics seems to go back to defualt whenever he starts the game up. Any ideas on that??

I know exactly what you mean.
My spec used to be
Athlon 64 3500+
Asus A8n SLi
2 x 512 ddr ram 400mhz
asus EN6800GT
160gb seagate barracuda
I used to run this game on high settings, got another gig of ram and the tiny amount of lag I did get went away completely.
now Im on
Athlon 64 3500+
Abit An8 32x SLI (asus board went to pot and their tech support is shite, but thats another email tennis story)
4 x 512 ddr ram 400mhz
asus EN6800GT
160gb seagate barracuda
80gb seagate barracuda
I get really low pings, Im usually first on the server for some reason! BUT! Im on medium settings now and sometimes even that lags like a bastard!
sometimes its like watching a series of screenshots it gets that bad,
I think game makers get paid to include bs in their patches (by nvidia, or in HL2's case ATI) to patch us out of the game and make us upgrade!
When it does get really bad, try driving around the map in a vehicle to take the textures in or press esc to jump to menu then esc again to jump back ingame. sounds daft, I know!

I wanted to see if I was imagining the huge performance loss that came with the patches. I installed 1.0 again, put most graphics on high and some on medium and got an average of 60fps, then I patched up to the latest patch and got 50fps with everything on low at the same resolution...
I can believe that
you should have seen 1.3.
I am sure there is more detail with 1.41
Anyone else who plays with everything on high could test it.

Shit connection speed? cause u say things float
Yeah, so thats why i lag a lot more now...
Yeah been there done thatkn0ckahh wrote:

Got every thing on the lowest settings
Playing in small or large groups doesn’t make any difference
I think that poor connection speed may be the reason
Time to start hassling my service provider
