Fps Drops....

[SniperX670yo]

Well i keep getting fps drops during Multiplayer.... I go from 50+ fps down to 17 and the game never really runs smoothly because of this.

Current Specs:
1.5GB of ram
7800GT
Pentium 4 (x2) 3.00ghz

And im Running bf2 maxed with x2 AA


So whats causing this?

Tone the settings down a bit and see if it improves the performance.

Re: Fps Drops....

how you doing in single player? As far as I know 7800 gt is not one of the most powerful cards. Hell, even my 2 7800 gtx's cant play the game at full settings, 4 xaa at 1680x1050@60. I lag all the time and continuously cry about it in these forums lol. My game runs great in singleplayer but during multiplayer it lags like hell when too much is going on. For example, both teams at one flag + artillery, bombing at Gulf Of Oman. I get like 30 fps when all of this is going on.

I don't think there is too much that you can do besides doing a full disc defrag, clean up, virus and spyware scan, etc.

What drivers you using btw?

LIke Heat flare said bring down some of the settings. Bring dynamic shadows/light, texture, texture filtering to medium and see what happens.

Also go to C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\My Documents\Battlefield 2\mods\bf2 and go into cache folders and delete all the files inside (not the folder themselves). You must do it before changing video settings and then loading up the map.
Please report back and we will see what more can be done. Look luck pal.

How many fps are you getting ConscriptVirus? Your comparison might help him out.

Re: Fps Drops....

its not the card.... in single player i can run it maxed with no lag....
So i guess it might just be multiplayer then?

By the way i dont update my drivers-- what do they do?

Re: Fps Drops....

Basically, drivers tell the card how to interpret instructions from the motherboard and display them on the screen. Update them frequently because there are often optimizations/fixes added for specific games. Are you sure that the lag is system specific and not network ping? I will get network lag that seems to reduce framerate, but actually does not. Remember, there are bigger maps in multiplayer, so your card has to work a little harder to render scenes.

Re: Fps Drops....

It could be overheating and hence your CPU/GPU throttling themselves to keep cool.

It's pissing me off as well, I start off getting 120fps then it drops flat to 30.
