lol im so blind :p not enough sleep i guess.

btw ive to check but in quake 3 (probably q4 aswell) there is also

pb_system

pb_system This setting is related to Punkbuster, setting the memory scanning method punkbuster uses to detect cheats. Setting this option to '1' will usually give the best in game performance, if you have crashes or lockups use setting '0'

I just watched the flash movie and its pretty funny... because thats pretty much what happened when i first played BF2. :laugh:

Re: Found a website about BF2 lag

Just something you may want to note. Changing the BF2 executable name seems to cause a lot of issues with Fraps, for unknown reasons.

I've personally only gotten corrupt fraps files, but some of my friends have even complained of fraps corrupting an entire folder of video.

Re: Found a website about BF2 lag

You state that the Raptor is the fastest hard drive in the world on your site, in the video drivers section. That would be incorrect. Plenty of 15, 000 RPM SCSI drives out there.

Re: Found a website about BF2 lag

hey

yeah, well sata is slightly faster, i thought about this problem long and hard and in the end this site swung it for me, http://www.pugetsystems.com/articles.php?id=19

so it seems there pretty much the same, and most pro gamers have raptors as opposed to scsi drives, rpm isnt everything

peace

That article is a year old, and I guess I wouldn't call those guys the preeminent authority on hard drives. Here's one published 3 days ago, regarding the release of the new 150 Gb Raptor:

so it seems there pretty much the same, and most pro gamers have raptors as opposed to scsi drives, rpm isnt everything

According to this article, the newest 7200 RPM drives on the market outperform the 74 Gb Raptor in gaming:

Looking at this,

http://www.storagereview.com/articles/200601/WD1500ADFD_5.html

it would seem that the raptor isn't the fastest hard drive in the world for gaming. It most assuredly isn't the fastest hard drive in the world for servers, or for video editing. It does seem to be the fastest running office benchmarks, however.

"Fastest hard drive in the world." False

fine, whatever man, thanks for the info i'll add it on

did it help anyone? did it really help the lag?

Yup...helped me out! Thanks for putting this together!!! :)

Re: Found a website about BF2 lag

the top 8 tips are the best

That's because tips 8 & 9 have no effect in XP

Tip 8 is doubtfull, and it doesn't disable the page file(which you should never do anyway), it only moves the kernal into RAM.

http://www.tweakhound.com/xp/xptweaks/supertweaks11.htm

Look here:

Disable Paging of Kernel

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Session Manager\Memory Management]

"DisablePagingExecutive"=dword:00000001



Under all but the most very extreme circumstances it does nothing. What this setting does is force XP to keep the kernel (the core of the operating system) in RAM. This means that the kernel will reside in the fastest storage area in your computer. Sounds great right? Guess what? XP does this anyway unless the system comes under such an extremely heavy load that it needs the space. The very millisecond that the system has free memory, it will put the kernel right back into RAM. If the system is in such dire straights that it needs to use the space that the kernel is using I would say you are on your way to a crash and you better let whatever wants the space have it. You also better add more memory ASAP.

Tip 9 is a myth too:

http://www.tweakhound.com/xp/xptweaks/supertweaks11.htm

Set Irq Priority

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\PriorityControl]

"IRQ8Priority"=dword:00000001

I can find no documentation that XP supports this setting. I can find no evidence that this setting works in XP.** If it did work I fail to understand any advantages you might gain. I’m not even sure if it’s possible to reassign IRQ priorities in this manner XP and if you could I’m pretty sure that this key wouldn’t be how you do it (XP uses/accesses/manages IRQ’s differently than previous versions of Windows).**** They use irq 8 because it’s (usually) the CMOS/real time clock.

and

http://mywebpages.comcast.net/SupportCD/XPMyths.html

IRQ Priority Tweak

Myth - "Adjusting the Priority of IRQs especially IRQ 8 improves system performance."

Reality - "IRQs don't even HAVE a concept of "priority" in the NT family; they do have something called "IRQL" (interrupt request level) associated with them. But the interval timer interrupt is already assigned a higher IRQL than any I/O devices, second only to the inter-processor interrupt used in an MP machine. The NT family of OSes don't even use the real-time clock (IRQ 8) for time keeping in the first place! They use programmable interval timer (8254, on IRQ 0) for driving system time keeping, CPU time accounting, and so on. IRQ 8 is used for profiling, but profiling is almost never turned on except in very rare development environments. Even if it was possible it doesn't even make sense why adjusting the real-time clock priority would boost performance? The real-time clock is associated with time keeping not CPU frequency. I would not be surprised if this originated in an overclocking forum somewhere. This "tweak" can be found in most XP all-in-one tweaking applications. This is a perfect example of why they are not recommended."

I know it is very tempting to use all kinds of registry tweaks, but most of them don't work and never have worked in XP. Try looking through the list in the two guides I link to, they explain a lot about these and other so called tweaks.

You are not at fault, because many guides still reference these tweaks and many tweak utils also use them but they don't work. Ppl want them to work and think they do, the placebo effect kicks in and takes over.

Re: Found a website about BF2 lag

Lots of good tips :). To many adds though No adds on mine http://www.bfglitches.com .

Yeah, no adds...but no site either....LOL. I clicked on your link and it took me to this: http://www.freewebs.com/frozen.htm

Nothing wrong with setting the page file size to zero if you have enough RAM, and a good backup plan in place. It keeps the game from paging data to disk, and will speed performance. It's not arguable wether it does, or not, either. Just take a look at how much disk space is being used during a BF2 session..... It doesn't require a reg hack to do it, just set the page file size to 0.
