BF2S Forums bf slow and pausy

first, this is the help for this site.

Next, I have experienced lag with SF nearly all the time. I know of no fix and I'm no computer expert but I believe you have a good computer.


He isn't using wireless, by any chance (I know you have a cable connection, just wondering)

maybe pc issues....is there a problem with the his internet

I have that problem after i have been playing for 4 to 6 months.Just starts slowing down.
With your hardware and bandwith there should be no problem.
I have a Amd 3800,1geg Ram,Ati 850,768 dsl.
The 1.3 patch really screwed the Client and servers.
I heard if you reinstalled the patch when your game starts slowing down,it will help.
I have never tried it,but i know uninstalling and reinstalling BF2 does not help,i tried it.
I just formated my PC and everything is running fine,but it seems that it ran better before the 1,3 patch.
Maybe one of the pros in the forum can help. :-)

I use to have this too. I increased my RAM from 1gig to 1.5gig. the problem seems to have gone...
I think you should hit the console key (` or End) while in game and type in renderer.drawfps 1, this will tell you what sort of fps you are getting.

moved to BF2:Help, as this is not an issue with bf2s.com

And btw, I play on an AMD 3200, 1 GB RAM, ATI X800 XT PE, 6mBit DSL.
CPU and RAM are my weak points, obviously. More RAM is always better, same goes for the CPU. As far as loading times are concerned, HD speed is also key.

Unfortunately, I don't have S-ATA HD'S, so it takes me forever to load a map.
Still, once the map has fully loaded, I have no lag issues whatsoever. If you are sure the lags are not related to your internet connection, you should try to tweak the graphic card settings ( resolution, less detail, shaders, AA and AF, viewing distance, the usual stuff ).

save up some moolah for another gig of ram. It'll help heaps in the long run

Your CPU is fine, I have the same.

Your memory is ok but 2gb does help a lot.

Your GPU is an ancient POS. I'm amazed you can actually play the game with that thing. I imagine this is on mostly low/medium settings. I found my old 6600 difficult to play on and that is 100x better than an 5900.

Depending on your budget you could spring $149 for a 7600gt which is the best bang for the buck right now. I have one and it rocks with BF2. I would do that then get another gig of ram.

Other things to check. Did you install this on an NTFS or FAT32 filestystem? Do you have a PATA or SATA drive? Have you defragged your drive in a while?

I have an AMD 3200, 2gb ram, 7600gt, and a Seagate 7200.9 SATA drive. Just a medium-end computer nowadays. The game loads quickly and I'm usually the first 5 peeps in the game on map reloads.
