My best guess is to add 2x antialiasing and see how it runs. This is the only thing I changed on my detected settings with an asus 6600GT 128MB.

9800 Pro 128Mb

Its running well enough on 1200x960 with the first 3 settings on high and the rest on Medium. I do find the mouse doesnt respond well a lot of the time, but that doesnt seem to be lag :\.. also when I try and run for some reason it doesnt let me, I just try to do it and stop still right away, then I cant move until I let go of all the keys and try again!!

known issue?

im runing everythibng maxed out...1024x768 with AAx2.
shadows - Med
Lights - Med
RealTime Lightning - Med

runs perfect! but.... (a known but in the game..) after 10-30mins of gaming..the game gets very choppy...and begins to stutter hard. then i have to restart it in order to play more. basically it becomes unplayable.

I'm not sure which server I play on. I usually only play on ranked servers, and pick them as soon as I can get. Don't ever look at the name.

Yeah you got to be fast to get in the 64 player ranked servers.
I really hope that in the next patch they fix the laggy in-game browser and give it a feature to have favorites atleast.
Also i hope there is a memleak in the game they fix and that it's not "blahblah something thats our fault blahblahblah"
Oh yes and support for ASE would be nice, and why not free burgers while were at it Very Happy

fuck. i'm getting tired of the issues with this game. the network support is fubar.

gamespy don't work with it.
"play now"- feature doesn't work.
"verifying client" takes forever.
scrolling the serverlist is nearly impossible.
twice have I been thrown out to the desktop.
a lot of times in-game I get "there is a problem with you connection"- message
sometime it just disconnects.

steam may suck in many ways. but hey, atleast it works.


... but even worse, it releases satan.

If there's one thing DICE does, it's fix their shit.

Give 'em a chance. They are already testing a patch, it's not like they don't care or don't know there are problems.

well the closest one is this I think.

http://www.planetbattlefield.com/bf2/

yes. well... DiCE is allright most of the time. I can accept that some games need patches (wich in itself is kind of strange) BUT what I dislike is that EA don't put some info on the official site saying something like "we know that there are some issues, we are working on it"

Just bloody frustrating as when it works it is sweet: in terms of framerate etc. but there are these awful period of drag and lag and 20 mins reloading the server menu then 15 minutes loading the bastard map followed by 5 mins verifying the c***ing client ... then once the map starts it is always laggy for 2 mins or so--- bad news if your base is under attack...

Also if you have the audacity to try and quite during any of the above it take f***ing hours to disconnect or return to desktop and once it does it freezes everything up for a while.

As you may have gathered I am fairly pissed with it all...

On the other hand, it can be great - disappointed the VoIP is not used as ppl report it makes good servers laggy.

Sigh -- roll on a patch or 5!

Yeah, the resource sucking-ness of this game is of biblical proportions. I mean, really, when I saw HL2.exe sucking up 500 megs I thought "omfg what the hell" but when I see BF2's whopping 750+megs usage... wow.
The loading doesnt take long but the verification takes long enough for me to go from here to 7-11, pick up the newspaper, read it, come back, eat dinner, and still have time to watch it finish. Even worse is the random moment in every game where I see my HDD/CPU light blink and the game lags... but after that it runs good. I guess it's something to be improved upon in later patches. Peace,


fear the led zeppelin that was!

People having lag issues at start of game and lots of hard drive activity during game,check your pagefile settings.I had the same trouble until I reduced my pagefile from 1024 min/max to 350 min/max.Seems the game was using the pagefile b4 the physical ram.This has solved the problem for several of my squadmates as well.Worth a try.

People having server screen probs,I had same until I opened the necessary ports.

If anyone is bored/disappointed with BF2 (or maybe baught and cant play because of slow PC) and want to try Guild Wars, I'm willing to trade my GW account (you can clean all characters and it will be like brand new) for BF2 legit cdkey.

Please PM me and we'll take it from there.

It seems my issues have been solved by one of the following (I will test later to find out which)

- Turning of AA
- Turning off VPU Recover
- Using the Reloaded Crack rather than plain retail

I have a feeling it was the AA, it seems wierd it would cause issues as it hasnt in the past, must be a game thing. Either way, I have turned it off and can now play on the "high" setting with no problem. I even upped the Res to the next level and its still very playable (a little bit of lag at this res.. but not much!).. FYI: I have not bothered multiplayer as it seemed pointless with all the GFX lag, I will try it when im back from Finland Smile!

Stuff that were left out due to rushed release:

http://www.teambfmc.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=766


Check the above link, it explains about how there was a "Clan HQ" in the game prior to release, where the game had a seperate section for setting up clanmatches, keeping clan-statistics, etc. - an entire own ranking system for clans.

Also it had another game-mode called "Supply Lines" that apparently are still in the server-side, but never were put into the client side.

Also there's options for having the clan's own armpatches, and a lot of other goodies, including 128 player maps. AND another (better) serverbrowser.


Obviously these were left out, the game wasn't complete...
