lag - how bad for you?

Re: lag - how bad for you?

Maxed out frames. I set everything to low (to see better with scope). Highest settings about 50~85 frames.

XFX 5850. AMD Phenom X4 965 stock. 4 GB DDR3. Windows 7 Pro.

Rubberband occasionally, but mostly due to server.

I think 8800 GTX is too weak, get AT LEAST a 9800GTX or 250.

Then there's your dual core.

Re: lag - how bad for you?

I did overclock, this game is only CPU and GPU...i think more CPU than GPU.


Quad Q8200 2.33@2.8ghz 4MB
XFX HD5870 xxx 5200mhz 1GB

:yay:

Re: lag - how bad for you?

I am sure it is my Mother Board (and/or CPU)
the card 8800 OC was in my son' system
it was ok - then I got him a 240GT (I think - been a while)

anyway - did a test on his new system
pulled my tank up next to a stationary AT and hit it with a main gun shot
the AT blew up IMMEDIATELY (as it should)

I go to the same AT in my system
I hit the AT - and 3 WHOLE seconds later - it explodes
no wonder I can never hit a moving target !

also - when I shoot from the helo
his cpu - INSTANT release of the rockets/hellfire

mine - takes 1-2 seconds to shoot
I always thought the delay was built into the programming
argh - need a new system !

Re: lag - how bad for you?

Sometimes I have a lag, plus most of the time not

dragon, is it your video card no? 8800? i think its so low

Re: lag - how bad for you?

I started having really bad ping issues and massive lagg spikes about a week or so ago. My fps will drop from over 100 to 5 -7 for 5-10 seconds and it shows half the sever with ping of 1000+. I always have avg running but not scanning and its not been a problem before
My rig
Phenom 2 965 quad core
MSI 5850
4 gig ram
20 meg adsl
Win 7 64

This happens in UK and US based servers. I was playing on a UK based server and mentioned it and an admin said it was a patch issue. Anyone else heard of this ??

Re: lag - how bad for you?

I can't remember the last time I had any lag in BC2... it's been months!

Re: lag - how bad for you?

atacama causes tons of lag becasue of dust and explosions sometimes.

Re: lag - how bad for you?

What Frosty said is so true, I just upgraded my rig comming from a E6800 dual core 3.0 to a Q9400 2.6 and a new video card replacing my 8800GT to a 465 GTX.

The overall performance of the game really increased to a steady 50 fps without any serious lag issues.

Also changing the Direct X version to 10 instead of "auto"

Re: lag - how bad for you?

25 mb/s is probably standard in most of europe now, I'm on 20 and upgrading to 50 in a month (fiber optic ftw).

Oh and I know a lot of people still play with dual core still, but upgrading to a cheap quad core will do you wonders, one of my clanmates had a real similar rig to mine (880GTX and a intel dual core @ ghz). He upgraded to to a Q6600 a while back when bc2 was out for about a month and saw ridiculous fps increases. The game is just so CPU hungry/dependent it's stupid.

yes - that is my guess
thanks all for chatting on this
and to Beav - my video card is 8800OC

Beav = your isp is insane
I bet less than .001% have something that good !

Re: lag - how bad for you?

oh - we always play on same server = no doubt it is my system

Whats the specs of your video card?

Whats the contrast between you system versus your sons?

I used to have an 8800 GTS 320 card, I upgraded to the 4850 1Gb and overclocked it, and was able to see a great difference.

Re: lag - how bad for you?

I have ran into a few times where I shot behind the person and killed them, but that may be due to the hitbox changes DICE put in to stretch those by how fast someone or something is going.

Have your son play on the same server as you and see if he has the same issues. If not, then its something with your equipment.

but for FYI - DSL is not the problem
son plays on line sometimes - he gets over 100fps most of the itme
and never less than 60 fps

WinXP only recognizes 3.5 GB - but still runs better with 6gb installed vs the 4gb

I have NO background programs running (firewall AV etc)

and to Crunch - yesterday - game went REAL $h i t ty (yes even more than normal)
had some (2) pingers over 400 !
so. trick with lag/ping is to lead them?
I get many helo kills with tank - seem like the 'tail' or to lag them works more often then not ??

still having fun!
