Lags on Ghost Town, Surge and Mass Destruction

[ScottMcCoy]

Hello comrades!

I love bf2sf really but there is one big problem...
There are massive lags when I am flying helicopter.
Does anyone get the same experience?

I don't think my system is to weak:

WIN XP Pro
AMD 64 X2 +4800
4 GB Kingston Hyper X
2x evga 7900 GTX (SLI-Mode)
1,2 Tb HDDs (SATA)

The hints I read in this forum aren't working...
Sorry for my bad spelling...3rd foreign language

Your system is fine, (actually its awesome) its a known issue, I experience it only in the Hind, where it makes it un-playable. I do not think their has been a solution found yet.

Re: Lags on Ghost Town, Surge and Mass Destruction

i heard that some players had the same problems. but in their case the problem was their crappy system.
really annoying to continue playing SF. its like a flip-book
i hope theres coming a resolution for this problem with the new patch 1.4.

all things considered SF is a great expansion. dont know why ppl dont want to play it.

btw if somebody wants to play on a lag-free, high points server, youre welcome:



we reduced the slots down to 20 players to prevent server crashes

Wow I thought it was just me. My desktop has 1GB of RAM, and when I want to fly in SF I switch over to my laptop with 2GB and have to play with bad graphics.

I get the exact same thing on the exact same maps. Flying choppers in SF seems just laggy ingeneral. I think the code for the fog is different for the pilots or something because I can gun and ride as a passenger in a transport helo fine, but if Im flying, Its like a slide-show.

No problems in the chopper today but 5 server crashes discourages any further BF2 today.

**Fires up FEAR.

I thought it was just me. My rig has 1 Gb memory. I often crash-to-reboot when flying in a helicopter in SF. It makes getting the Helicopter Specialist ribbon almost impossible. :dead:

Re: Lags on Ghost Town, Surge and Mass Destruction

i get the same and have a 7800 gt and 2 gigs of ram. Earlier today i was flying around by myself on surge in the hind. I was noticing how smooth it was. There were only 2 of us on the server at the time. When we approached 4-5 people, i noticed the chopper was starting to lag. The more people joined the worse it got.

Don't worry about it. Quit and Rejoin, sometimes that fixes it. Its a odd bug to.

I think it has something to do with the character models. I've been on for example the SAS team on ghost, and been flying the hind fine. Then I get switched to MEC at the next round, and get in the hind and have the lag.

It comes in different forms. It comes with the lag where its not to bad, then it gets to the medium level sometimes, where its close to unflyable, but managable. Then theres the hardcore lag with it, where you CANNOT do nothing at all.

DICE refuses to fix it, no one respond to my threads in the section where DICE answer questions. You email tech support about it, they give you crap about your system causing it, and turning your graphics down. Which by the way doesn't fix it. It still happens when the graphics are on the lowest.

Lagging on Ghost Town? I didnt think that was possible. Its such a small square map. :hmm:

[[GU]LIZARD{GEN}]

Re: Lags on Ghost Town, Surge and Mass Destruction

Heh its not lag related to it being small. Infact it has nothing to do with it. Its a bug when being a pilot in the SF choppers. Read the post before posting.

Re: Lags on Ghost Town, Surge and Mass Destruction

2GB memory with a X1900XT. I don't get lag hardly ever on Ghost Town. Leviathon is a dream. Mass Destruction is usually good. Surge is a lottery ticket. Surge is such a large map with lots of vehicles, I have assumed there is too much netcode going on. Usually lag on 64 player maps with 40+players and commanders artying etc..

Leviathon is a chopper whores dream...

Re: Lags on Ghost Town, Surge and Mass Destruction

I lag aswell most people do when flying hind on scurge.

Re: Lags on Ghost Town, Surge and Mass Destruction

Did I mention that I love Leviathon... the Apache has become my favorite chopper. The rockets are probably overpowered, but they won't nerf it as they haven't been doing much if anything to tweak SF in awhile. Still trying to get 100 kills in a round flying solo. I got to 98 once and have been in the 80s a few time. I love Leviathon...

Forgot, no lag on Iron Gator in a chopper or in the boat.
