BF2S Forums Help With Ingame Lag/Stuttering

I have this quite often,normally i get stuttuering even when i have a ping of 22.Everytime i get this i run all spy checkes and makes sure my firewall isn't giving access to something that shouldn;t have access.

Just run adaware or AVG see if there is something there.

edit:i would run both and spybot too.

Okay, ill try re-naming the exe later when im home, and im considering getting 1 more gig of ram to.

Reducing the number of punkbuster hard drive checks


How does this work?


Punkbuster, as you probably know, is the anti cheating software which comes bundled with BF2 and is required to play on all ranked servers and most public servers. Punkbuster scans your hard-drive for problems every 20 seconds. As you may have guessed, this causes a lot of lag. What we are going to do is to increase the amount of time in between punkbuster checks to 500 seconds (the maximum amount so don't try anything higher lol). By the way, in case you were worried, this is 100% safe with punkbuster, and will NOT cause any problems with Punkbuster thinking you are a cheater. Punkbuster even recommends this on their website.


How do you do it?


Step 1: Ok, the first step is very simple, join any BF2 online server which is running punkbuster, preferably a ranked one.


Step 2: Once you are in, and respawned somewhere, press the ` key. This key is located on most keyboards above the tab key and to the left of the 1 key


Step 3: Once you have pressed this, a large white box should drop down with a load of text in it. Type "pb_sleep 500" (without the quotation marks) and hit the enter key


Step 4: Once you have done this, make sure the box is still up and type pb_writecfg to save your settings.



Peace Boris

Alrighty i tried both only it stopped lagging before i tried it, and i didnt do anything however i increased the pb sleep time anyways, thanks boris
