I started playing this game again after not playing it for about 4 months or so. The last patch I remember is 1.31 or something like that.

What the hell has happened since then? Why is everyone hoping around again and why does it take a shitload more M249 rounds to kill a person? Hit detection has always been a problem, but is it worse now after 1.41 or am I just seeing things?

Really it's worse? I would honestly believe you, at some point it's just so damn hard to tell if it got worse or it's the same bullshit as always.

I bet there is no patch 1.5.

Or some dude comes around the corner, you are in the prone, unload 50 rounds into him, he lives, you die after a three round burst.

Are you kidding? How about when you TV a chopper and the missile goes right through the cockpit but the chopper is still flying? You don't think that is bad hit reg?

All those settings change is the default lag compensation in BF2. By default the game assumes a ping of 100ms, however if you adjust the latency compensation to match your actual ping, hit reg gets a bit better. Its not a fantastic change but it makes a difference, if only a little one.

Would I have to type that evertime I join a server?

Yup, well you want to match it to your current ping.
Also just noticed what Sarge copied/typed is wrong.
It should be: SettingsManager.floatset GSDefaultLatencyCompensation 0.030
not: "SettingsManager.floaset".

So, if you are pinging 30ms to a server, divide the value by 1000 and use that (i.e. 0.03). Say 50ms = 0.05.

The GSInterpolationTime is a slightly different matter, and i'm not as sure about it.

Since Dice has never released any documentation on BF2 netcode or hitreg you are mostly guessing as to how to change these values.
Googling using the names of the above variables brings up a fair number of forum posts or articles on the subject. However its all pretty much speculation, although reasonably informed speculation.

Also, those values are stored in the usersettings.con settings file which is by default stored in C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\bf2\Settings. There is also another in the mod\xpack directory.
So I assume you could modify the default values of those variables to reflect your average ping i.e. to servers in your country/region so you would only have to modify them in the ingame console if you joined a "foreign" server.

Seems worse. Some rounds, I'll shoot a stationary target 3 damn times with a sniper rifle and get nothing, other times, I can hit a running target moving lateral across my scope, A blind shot, and they drop.

My advice, get drunk. you're reaction times slow, and the hitreg improves since you aren't aiming at your target fast enough, but are infact aimed at the space next to them, where it seems to really count.

But, all in all besides ol' 1.12.. 1.41 is a good patch compared to the rest. IF the rumored 1.5 appear, I pray to the gods EA invests more time into it, even more so if it's the final patch.

I've never heard them say last or final patch, but if that does comes...... (thinking with severe dread) "oh fuck".

Well... My overall accuracy has gotten a bit worse over the last couple of months...

But I think that's because I've tacked on about another 20 hours of support since then.

If anything, I think it's all about the same as it use to be, and I think all that time away has rusted up your skills. Give it time, and you'll probably be back to where you were.
