Lag in Game

[imported_0Zero]

My game play is not smooth at all. its almost like it is laggy. I have all the settings down to low no. I have a core2duo 8800gtx 4gb ram idk if i have an outdated system this is why i have such slow play or what.

What should i do to increase my fps...i think it might be the smoke in game that could be causing the problems. Its like killing my graphics card.

Re: Lag in Game

I have the e6850 Core 2 duo extreme, with 2x 8800 GTX and I run it beautifully with 4gb of ram on win 7 ult 64.

Try putting all your settings at low, and work your way up. Start with the big ones like Anti Alising first, then resoloution, and just find a level your willing to play at.

Re: Lag in Game

I do have my settings at low. Still no smooth game play at all. Every single thing is on low.

Re: Lag in Game

Try turning off any background programs you have going , anti virus, things like that.

Heck just go into msnconfig, turn off all your startup programs, reboot, then try BFBC2, if it still runs like crap then its a hardware issue and you may just need an upgrade.

Re: Lag in Game

I'm not sure what's causing it, either. I drop down to 20 FPS in a tank, I usually get 40-50 running around and 30 in firefights. I see little to no change between low settings and high settings. The framerate stays the same either way.

Q9300 @ 2.8GHz
4GB DDR2
GTX 280 on 196.34 beta drivers (no change from the 196.21 drivers for me)
X-fi Fatal1ty
Win7 64-bit

Q6600 @2.4 GHZ
4gb DDR2
8800GTX 768mb on some drivers from november (haven't bothered updating lately).
WinVista 32bit
Running at 1900x1200 reso

I have found that on medium I get pretty good graphics but my frame rate is just about acceptable (I could play with it but it's a bit choppy when **** gets extreme, and it gets extreme quite a lot obviously). So I run Low settings and find the game to run amazingly smooth, only difference I see is trees look fugly and when buildings collapse it looks a bit, well, bad.

Re: Lag in Game

keep in mind that optimizations will come in the first few patches (if not even later in the beta).

the game seems to DESPERATELY need some optimizing. It appears as though the PC optimizers got canned due to lack of work in the previous years.

Re: Lag in Game

Im currently running on all high with this:

Core2Duo E8800
2gb DDR2 RAM
ATi 4870HD 1024mb Ram
Windows XP Prof.
Running at a high resolution.

I think i might grab some more RAM and that will make the game even smoother at a cheap cost.

You dont write what OS you are using, but for some it has helped to force the game to use DX9 instead of DX10. Look in the Tips & Tricks thread if you want to try that.

Re: Lag in Game

I am running windows 7 32 bit. All graphics driveers are up to date. I found that raising my resolution actually helped performance. I also changed so that the game uses dx9 instead. Still i thought on low i could get way better performance than im getting even now after i changed everything.

Re: Lag in Game

I set everything on med AA x1 and my 8800GTX seems to be handling it just fine. I get 50-65 FR via FRAPS.

Re: Lag in Game

I have a great framerate most of the time with 2 x BFG 280 GTX OC, i7 920, Vista 64 - all settings on max

However, i do experience a fair bit of jittering and stuttering during gameplay so it's most likely bad optimisation from what i've read. Hopefully it improves with driver and game updates as the beta progresses

Re: Lag in Game

Tweaking – you can tweak a lot of individual settings yourself from the settings.ini file in your BC2beta folder found under your C:\Users\"You"\Documents\BFBC2Betafolder. Set things like the audio to high quality, increasing water detail, DirectX version to use, etc.
Manually changing from “DxVersion=auto” to “DxVersion=9” in your "settings.ini" file may dramatically improve frame rate for some users.

Try that, it worked for me.

Re: Lag in Game

wait win7 can't dx9 right?

Re: Lag in Game

DX9 trick
turn off HBAO

Make sure you clean out old drivers correctly.

Uninstall
reboot to safe mode
Clean with driver sweeper
reboot
install new drivers


With a single GTX I sat at about 60 FPS @4.0ghz

With TRI SLI I run 88-100 FPS @4.0ghz
