Re: Lag problems

Hey! I have that graphic card!, But i upgraded to a higher one. Your going to have to have more MB of RAM in order to run smooth in BF2, about 1GB or 2GB is better.

Re: Lag problems

Yeah... project reality seems to be on the whole slightly more resource heavy than vanilla - mainly the maps with dense forests. The best thing I can suggest is to put another 512 or a gig of ram in there. That would make more difference than a new gfx card, and would be a lot cheaper. You'd really notice the difference.

If that's not possible, there are a few things you can check. Make sure your page file isn't limited to something tiny - that's a possible cause of the CTDs. Also make sure you have a few gig of free disk space and aren't running any other programs at the same time as BF2. Or you can look around the web for a bf2 specific tweaking guide, that will give you info on how to tweak your system and bf2 itself to get the best performance in game.
