  • Ping Spikes/High Ping

    I used to be able to play bf2 on good settings, in 1280x1024 resolution etc, but it seems within the last two months or so my ping has just gone up to around 100-200ms, and to add to that it spikes from there to sometimes 900ms a few or more times in a game round, this causes me to get kicked sometimes now. It is very annoying.

    I have tried all of the recommended fixes from the BF2 community:

    shut down a vast array of unused services
    no spyware/adware
    no A/V, anti-spyware or firewall software running
    updated punkbuster
    replaced known-issue punkbuster file
    no BitTorrent or P2P software installed


    So what the heck is the problem?

    I have no clue what to do and i am afraid that my bf2 gaming experience will never go back to the norm (20-50ms, high settings etc). :shakehead

        try using a cable instead of wireless, if your problem disappears we know it's the wireless.
