It is called a year and half of tweaking by the people that created it...and not the Canada hack office.

''Veifying client data''
BF2 is the first game ever that takes time to verify data

Yeah, it makes you wonder how much better I would be able to play BF2 if Sweden had done the patches. Medium graphics are just a distant memory from the pre-1.12 days.

Re: Why BF2142 loads faster than BF2...?

I understand now.... so there is no patch which fixes that...
Im playing the demo of bf2142 a lot because its loading times........

I think this does pertain to BF2 in many respects. I wonder what they learned in their verifying algorithm that optimized it...I would think it would not take much work to do it in BF2...unless it has something to do with the way the maps are rendered and where the checksums are.

BF2 is NOT the first game to verify client data. It may be the first to have it integrated into the game from the beginning, I don't know. I do know that many of the UT2K4 servers I've been to use AntiCheat that verifies clean skins and checks for aimbots and hacks. For the first 30 seconds after I join a server I spectate while it verifies. After a few deaths it verifies again, more quickly the second time.

No it definitely isnt the first to verify client data. It is the first however to take 5 minutes to verify it.

The source engine (HL2,CSS,DOD:S etc) take about 10-15 seconds to verifly. Probably less.

Re: Why BF2142 loads faster than BF2...?

i think its just punkbuster..like not only does it have to verify for aimbots and all the hacks..it has to like check all ur files to see that u havent modded them

games like css and cs and dod can have custom skins so i bet the VAC2 doesnt check those files as thorough

Re: Why BF2142 loads faster than BF2...?

yeah, i agree with the OP, BF2142 *demo* loads MUCH MUCH faster than BF2.

even switching between the menus is faster IE, from multiplayer tab to the options tab.

Re: Why BF2142 loads faster than BF2...?

your solution is to buy more system memory and probably also faster harddrive.. It really does take 5min with 512Mb of system ram but somehow only 15-20secs with 1,7Gb. If you completely turn off harddrive swapping (windows virtual memory extension) it may go even faster, depending on speed your harddrive can read data into system ram. What is happening is that Punkbuster is scanning your computers, system memory, registry and harddrive to find possible hacking attempts, not only gamefiles but also directx dll files, your graphic drivers and so one

maybe they have turned off most punkbuster checks on demo, how do you know? There was shorttime patch in bf2 where veryfiing times were around 10 sec average, simply pb checks didnt scan your harddrive

What does like me on bf2142 is ingame serverbrowser -it really does work without glitches.. DICE could easily fix it on bf2 as well

Ha! that is a good argument for High Point Servers, so you don't have to waste time loading new maps
