BF2S Forums The Iron Gator map laggy?

on the console (you get this by pressing the ~ key - which under the ESC key) type in renderer.drawfps 1

You will now see the frames per second in real time.  On Iron Gator, I was running at 15 to 21 frames per second and it was getting very choppy and I couldn't face the direction I wanted to, especially when there were many sounds going on at the same time.  I bought a Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Value and it alleviated some of the framerate issues.  I can now play somewhere between 24 and 41 frames per second depending on what's going on onscreen.

I seriously think there is a memory leak, as it seems smooth at first, but gets very choppy after a few hours of gameplay.  The Warlord map is atrocious to play on for me. 15 fps...   I don't really want to tweak my settings because I play BF2 Vanilla a lot, and I am playing it a lot more because playing in such unplayable conditions is frustrating.

Congrats on the sound card, I love my audigy card and 7.1 surround sound!! I agree there might be another memory leak. But like I said in my above post changing my video drivers to the nVidia 81.95 made a major difference for me. I have not checked my actual fps since I am just running an FX 5200 vid card..lol Everything plays sweet except Iron gator. I can defend a flag there but thats about it.

then it's not my computer
