I just bought sf yesterday and started testing it a bit. Ran quite nicely and all, but then came the first night map. And thats the moment i started hating my computer. Usually i have fps around 45-60 outdoors and indoors. But the night maps...my fps dropped to about 6-10! Its just goddamn ridiculous. I tried dropping the graphics a bit lower, still the same 10-15 fps. Its just so horrible. On any other map its running with no problems at all, but on night maps i basically cant play.

Gotta get a new get a new vid card...

WOW that sucks- The night maps probably have higher polygon count and since its dark you can't tell - or maybe its just overall bad programming and map design altogether.

thats why the magical word "or" exists.

Just kidding.

But you can't turn on nightvision with daytime maps.
Would be pretty useless anyway.

yes, cos EA dont care about optimization, just change video requirements... it sux

and there's no logical point why NIGHT maps have to have more polygons... it can be done other way > less polygon, cos you have to have deal with a lot of colors, details etc.

so i DONT play night maps in SF, only day map (or on night being commander) cos they SUX

hmm well in FIS most got a not "state of the art" pc.. and then it happened that peeps who played the normal BF 2  with me.. suddenly got laag all over and i was alone on the server because most couldnt play night maps at all.

looks at the back side of his SF case... "System Requirements are same as in BF 2 full version...." FU

"An Important Note Regarding Graphics and Having the Best Posible Experience

Battlefiled 2: Special Forces uses some of the most advance rendering techniques available today for special effects and to achieve real-time performance for a great game playing experiennce. The game was largely developed and tested on NVIDIA GeForce FX, 6 Series, and 7 series graphies cards and the intended experience can be more fully realized on NIVIDIA GeForce 7 Series graphies hardware. On a GeForce 6800 or better you will be able to turn on all of the NIVIDIA special effect features at higher resolutions in the game."

A small note they give you saying about the GFX Cards, you tryed low settings?

My settings are at low-medium with 100% range and 2x AA. Wouldnt really want to switch lower because i already did and when i played a round of karkand i didnt really recognize the place...

And yea warlord is also über choppy in the last 2 outposts in the palace.
