MAJOR lag when both playing...

[aLLyBOOM]

We have 2 PCs sharing a connection and can play at the same time (either in same or diff server) with no problems or changes in performance...

...But a few weeks ago (26th july when the accounts outage happened) and over the past 2 days we have been getting constant connection problems and unplayable lag when both playing. This lag occurs on both or just one of the PCs, but when only one plays it is fine. There are no other programs using any bandwidth whilst we play.

Any ideas??? I neeeeed help, Just got ****ed 3 times in a row by exp.elektric and co because i was defenceless due to connection probs.......

edit:

Also, when both PCs are playing the list of servers will only normally show up on one of the two, and the other will find no servers..

Nothing, I spawned at the BH base when you were in the process of stealing our Blackhawk, but major connection problems meant i could do anything other than die three times to your clan each time...

aha i remember :) we stole the blackhawk twice we were mec -_- but i dont know maybe downloads/uploads?

what is your connection speed? Both up and down?

600k down 300k up.

I have tested my bandwidth and I am still able to DL at the normal speeds, even at the times this prob has occured.

Yeah he's on the money with pb but forget using pbweb.exe that is old skool now. pbsetup.exe is the go http://websec.evenbalance.com/downlo...ws/pbsetup.exe (right click save target as) I would say pb is the trouble though your bandwidth is a bit on the low side for BF2 but should be ok. ie me and the Mrs play with a 1.5mbit down/256k up between us and have no probs. Update pb now and check regularly for future updates.

If thats the real ElekTriX you don't have anytime surely to post on here, one would think the amount of time you put into BF2 leaves you no other life. hehehe
