Re: Strange Stutter

the stuttering is probably from the pagefile (which is like ram except alot slower cuz its on ur harddisk)

Punkbuster HDD check?

Re: Strange Stutter

You better defrag you drive and also clean up from system clutter etc.- use system mechanik pro. And you can also follow the optimization guides to battlefield this or this

Re: Strange Stutter

One gig is practically a minimum with BF2. But it is a workable minimum. As someone else mentioned, try lowering your settings a bit and see if that helps. In particular, lower your texture quality to ensure those don't get paged out to disk. That one setting helps me a lot.

Re: Strange Stutter

Also try this.....

MSconfig: This is a great program built into Windows XP. Most people should know about it, and how to use it, but I'll include it in here anyways.

1. Click on "Start" -> Then click on "Run" and type in "MSCONFIG" and hit "Enter"
2. Put the bullet into "Selective Startup"
3. Uncheck "Process Win.ini" "Process System.ini" "Load Startup Items". Don't worry about any other check boxes.
4. Click on the "Services" tab
5. Check the box that says "Hide all Microsoft Services"
6. Click on "Disable All"
7. Click Ok at the bottom and restart your computer. This will prevent many items from loading when windows starts.

After restart check the 'dont tell me again' tab and OK
Later you can add stuff YOU NEED to run by adding to startup!
Happy gaming

I don't see why that's so hard.

pbUNDERSCOREsleepSPACE500
pbUNDERSCOREwritecfg

Hence:

pb ==> PRESS SHIFT AND - KEY ==> sleep ==> PRESS SPACE ==> 500 ===> PRESS ENTER
pb ==> PRESS SHIFT AND - KEY ==>writecfg ===> ENTER

That becomes:

pb_sleep 500
pb_writecfg


If you want to put a setting down, the Terrain setting has the biggest impact on FPS and it also makes the game look like ***, then the Lighting setting, THEN the Textures setting.
