How's your loading time for BF2?

[Falero]

3.4 ghz with wicked connection.
I´ve even been able to run into the enemy base and steal a tank because only 1 enemy had spawned yet.

The thing that bugs me is when u sign on with ur username...this seems to take me about 5mins!! I just dont get it? With cs to log on takes seconds.

My wireless connec light goes mad for the 5 mins as well, so i know its d/l or doing something just cant think what, why would so much info need to be sent/rec just to log on!?

>> Lol @ tefty, might carry on using it now! Paydays rock, always do a scan.co.uk check and an ebuyer..

mine does that too sometimes. dunno why.

ewww, ebuyer. i hate that place. they have stupid return rules. don't buy from them unless you are 100% sure thats what you want. I bought a headset by Creative from ebuyer and i didn't like it. I can't return it because they have this huge list of companies that they won't accept returns for their stuff.

i brought my computer for $700 , added a $200 x800 a $150 a sempron 3000+ and 2 sticks of 512mb of ram 150 each

total setup $1350

and it runs on ultra high. (good ole fps boost) i still have all shadows and lighting on low

note: im in new zealand so everything is half price so in american $$$ = 675?

Yeah I used to be one of the first in but then the client data went from 30secs to about 4mins. So i tried defraged my HD, I checked for errors, ran norton, and a webroot spy sweeper. Nothing helped so I reformated the HD, now it takes about minute and thirty seconds. Better but not like it used to be.

haha ive been able to WIN THE GAME before anyone on their team has spawned...its true....i have a thread on here about it somewhere. they must have all had comps. that could barely play the game.

[Ganjam4n]

my comp loads the maps in litterally like 5 seconds, but then the verification comes for some reason that takes like 1-2 minutes or so

[bigrsmith]

nothing special, but here is mine.....
intel Celeron D 335 Prescott 533MHz FSB 256KB L2 Cache Socket 478( 2.8 )
1 gig pc 3200 corsair
80 gig WD 7200
Evga Geforce 6600GT 128MB
all running on a ASUS board

[[120mm]Tefty]

Numbers.... i hate them

bloogy all these computers with their 32x16x7000 FSB 500,000 Lc cache socket chipsets on a toasted sandwich motherboard running with 2 scotch eggs of memory (2.18 eggs) extreme edition

gets right on my nerves


just no point in it tbh, when '1gb PC3200' will do, people will write '1 gig pc not mac 3200 sup4brand ddr ram with the dual channel'

and, not to be picking on you mr bigsmith, but just taking your processor as an example here
'intel celeron d 335 prescott 533mhz FSB 256kb l2 cache socket 478(2.8)' -

'Celeron 533' - :nod:

[neo265]

I have a Advanced Micro Devices XP 2700+ Thoroughbred B 2167Mhz 333MhzFSB 128KB L1 Cache 256KB L2 Cache Socket A 130Nm With 3D Now and SSE1 CPU

I'm usually the first loaded and alive, with 2 10,000rpm raptors in RAID 0 and 1.5GB of corsair XMS.

The raptors are the key for those of us getting in first, not vidcard, and only somewhat processor.

Two 74gig 10krpm raptors in raid 0 = first person on the map.

I love it, usually guarantees that I get my attack copter at least one round per map, except when the server decides to spawn me at the furthest point from the helipad, then spawns some slowpoke biatch right at it.

Striped 15k scsi drives would be even a hair better, but at significant cost. :-)

[tripleplay369]

I'd say I'm in the top 10 or so loading wise, specs are in sig.

It takes about 30 seconds to load, and 1 minute to verify..

-edit- Oh, and I have some generic Maxtor 7200 rpm hard drive.

[Mayhem]

mines arpund 30 secs to load map and around 20 - 30 to verify
So slow realy
but then my ping is all ways
5 - 20 on a UK server
15 - 30 on Europe ( depends were it is )
70 - 110 in America

So my loading times slow and my ping is low

LOL

If your having trouble with Verifying Client Data takeing ages on XP try installing 2000 as it took my wait time from 15mins down to 20 seconds :laugh:

You want to know why? You got a defrag as part of the install.
