lag - how bad for you?

Re: lag - how bad for you?

There are too many factors that affect lag, or lack of lag. You could have a bad cable or an issue with your DSL you dont even know about. It could be a program doing something in the background (Like AV or AS). It could be the server you are playing on or even the players on the server with higher pings than you. I hate it when the Chinese come into a server I play on. Their ping is 300+ and I cannot kill them. The plus side is they cant kill me either, but to compensate I have to shoot way ahead of them because where I see them, they are already gone.

To answer your general question, I dont suffer from lag that bad, but do get killed when I ran behind a wall and thought I was safe.

Re: lag - how bad for you?

If you have 6 Gigs of RAM I am assuming you are running XP 64 bit, your system specs are actually better than mine, however you are running DSL and that in of itself will bottleneck with this game. I have cable internet with 25Mb D/L and 3.5 Mb U/L, plus I run 5 gaming systems at the same time, with 2 or the 5 running BC2 simultaneously, so I would venture to say that your DSL is causing you a mass of you lag problems.
As for the TOW showing more lag than other areas, I really can't say that I have seen that, truthfully I try to stay away from things, due to snipers and 120mm snipers. :p

Re: lag - how bad for you?

sytem is old -= but fair
3.2 ghz dual core
6 gb ram
8800C
dsl 8/.7
win XP

I am sure it is my MB (memory bus??)
as my pals have had same system cpu/video/ram
and do just fine

I play only 16 man servers (more = 1 fps)
even now, on ground/smoke/dust fps drops from 10 to 1
(ergo me in ground fight = death)

but even in empty server
of fps sneaks up to 15
I get this HUGE lag when I hit something (eg the TOW)

Re: lag - how bad for you?

What are your system specs?

I find that the lag in my squads/clans server varies, but one thing remains constant and thats when there are a mass amount of explosions happening or the MCOM is armed, I lag.:shakehead: I run 2.7Ghz Dual with a 4850 1Gb ATI video card and 3 Gigs of RAM with XP Pro.

This game is extremely rough on systems, especially the dual cores.

can some of you do a test for me?
or something similar?
I pull my tank up next to an fixed AT
(well - 10 meters or so)
and shoot it
round goes flying through
then TWO or THREE WHOLE Seconds later - it blows up
pings are good (about 50 in browser) and 125 or so in game

also - yesterday
enemy on ATV drive right through me 3 times in a row
I ripped him to shreds with g3 from crouched
neither of us died
someone else finally shot him

is my lag that bad???
does this explain why I can walk up behind a guy in bldg
drop to one knee - unload a whole clip (g3 - standard ammo)
and he can still turn and kill me? (7 of 10)

yet most of my tank kills seem ok (lag wise)
I can TONS of 1 shot skills vs troops - especially over 100 meters - like arty
and can win 90% of tank battles (I used alt fire)

oh well - still fun - (but damn frustrating at times)
