an overall success, bit of a mixed bag

[UltrAdamSki]

ok, seeing as the patch came out, i decided to start from scratch with the game, i meticulously uninstalled ALL of bf2 and boosters etc etc, went through the registry with a fine toothcomb,

i then did this

installed;

original BF2 off dvd {what is that version 1.0?)
SF
1.4 full
EF
1.4 full
AF
1.4 full

and i want to add that i have had a few CTD's, but in-game its so much better for me, i used to get graphical lag in AF,EF,SF now they are ALL as smooth as anything, which is brilliant as i can now broaden my gaming experience.

i have had a few lost connection to server drop puts also whilst playing....but at least i can play any level of any booster i want now with smoothness, i fear this result is more to do with using fulls not incrementals and the order in which i did this, rather than 1.4 being a miracle patch....but with extended playing today some more, hope it will seem better also in its gameplay.

i think all i am trying to blabber on about is that i am relieved that for me this has improved my all round experience with bf2 rather than knackered it some more...phew!!!!

so far, things seem to be running great on my end too. I went straight from 1.22 > 1.4, so I was biting my lip when I loaded up to go in and test it out. still pretty early, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Hmm, I'll have to see if I can locate my BF2 original CDs and try doing a fresh install as you've suggested. If it can boost my FPS out of needing to play on Low I'll be a happy man
