Ping?

[Devil_Dog-9]

Since installing BF2:SF and the wounderful 1.12 patch my Ping has shot up almost 100%. Its now hard for me to find a sever with >100 ping that will stay there. My rig is good and when I don't play BF2 my internet is fine...so whats up? Is it the servers that can't handle the new Game or what? I also notice its not only me...it looks like 1/2 the people on anygiver server has over 150 ping. Thoughts?

This is a screen shot of Pings in the lowest ping server I could find.

Notice how 8 out of 23 have pings over 100? I have never seen this before the patch or SF came out.

Re: Ping?

i know this sounds stupid but i turned up my aa to 2x and made the view distanve 100%, and everthing on medium and i got better framerate. lol.

Re: Ping?

ping is not framerate! Or were you really just trying to be stupid. And in response to the actual question, try and see if any extra processes are running in the background. And scan for malware or viruses. That might help.

Re: Ping?

A buddy of mine had the same problem today. Other online games had normal pings, but with BF2 they were major. He doesn't have BF2 SF but he did patch it today. Maybe try and update Punkbuster?

Re: Ping?

Well I looked on PB website and it didn't say anything about an update.

My Frame rate is 60-80 all with Max settings so thats not it.

But maybe it is PB any Idea how to check?

You can run PB Setup to update Punkbuster. Get it here.

It's easy. I did it a couple of times. Just download this and run it. It's self explanatory. It helped me a couple of times when I had ping issues with BF2.

Re: Ping?

Here you go:

For best results, users should create a folder on the hard drive to hold PBSetup and the various files that it will create and use during operation. PBSetup should be downloaded directly into the folder or moved into the folder after downloading to the desktop but before running PBSetup for the first time. The easiest way to create a folder is to "right click" on the desktop and choose New|Folder from the pop-up menu and then type in a folder name such as PBSetup and press the Enter key.
