Why is my battlefield 2 lagging??!!!!??

[Kawdam91]

My system:

Microsoft Windows XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 2.
Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz Processor.
Nvidia GeForce 7300gt (256MB) 4XAGP Controller.
1024 DDR SDRAM.
MSI 845PE Neo (MS-6580 v5.0).
1MEG LAN Broadband. (WIRED) (CABLE?)

I have all the ingame settings set to LOW!!!

The lag can get so bad the i cannot play and have to disconnect from the server and this is with 15-40 ping servers. Sometimes it will lag every so often and its always when im getting shot at which doesnt help at all.

what are you frame rates like? I'll be honest, this isn't the hottest system.

Well the 1MB connections is like the 56K used to be its not meant for online gaming of games nowadays, also that system is holding you back too.

You can try and tweak windows and also scan you system for viruses, malware, adware to try and improve things.

You need 2MB MIN! to run BF2 to a good quality or your lagg and get "there is a problem with your connection" messages,

Pc isnt great either, but mainly Broadband try getting more MB

Hope this helps

I cant see it being a problem with 1 mb :S up until about 2 months ago, i only had 1mb and i used to play BF2 a whillle back fine on it.

Re: Why is my battlefield 2 lagging??!!!!??

1MB is perfectly fine, actually. BF2's minimum is 256kbps.

Eliminate all background process, run a system scan, defrag your hard drive, reboot, try again.

if not, GET PCIE, that AGP stands for BOTTLENECK

dont get me wrong, its good enough I know someone who plays that has a worse computer. with NO lag.

Re: Why is my battlefield 2 lagging??!!!!??

i think i have a 1mb connection and i have to say, its great, i never have lag and i am really surprised at how well it performs, although download speed isn't great

I play on a 1.25 ADSl and my pings are usually 25-80. I wonder of the 4x AGP slot can be opened up to 8x. That couldn't hurt.

Sorry to say it m8 but you have a 7300gt coupled with a gig of ram. youll get away with a gig of ram but a 7300gt is more suited to a media system, upgrade that and youll be sorted.

Re: Why is my battlefield 2 lagging??!!!!??

I am sorting the problem now this is my new system my friend is building me:

New pc case (of course).
New Motherboard.
Hardrive doesnt matter to me 120gb is perfect.
Intel core duo processors 4ghz or above.
2 gig of ram.
Nvidia Geforce 7300gt or above. The newest one is PCIE?
Sata.
Windows XP Pro .


Also i am upgradeing to 8MEG Broadband aswell.

Re: Why is my battlefield 2 lagging??!!!!??

You want atleast a 7600GT but i would honesty go for the 320MB 8800GTS or GTX if your on a budget.

[Kawdam91]

Re: Why is my battlefield 2 lagging??!!!!??

Im gettin it all for under 150pound lol :) i told my friend to get a 7300gt or above
so will have to see what he gets hold of for me =D the system could be better than what i have said, i said its for gaming to him so anything better he can get ill pay for it so i will have to wait and see!

I've had similar problems with lag and updating my systems and cards and such seem to have helped it the most.
