Re: Please help, bf2 sf, running like crap

Some people's rig just happen to be a sweet spot and they haven't experienced any problems whatsoever. No it's not the map size though. It's the detail. I've heard that SF has a lot more particals and dust etc. It does seem to look much better, plus you're really up close to lots of the detail. We're all just hoping and praying for a good patch or our videocard makers to come up with magical drivers =P

March4Revenge, thanks for having a sense of humor =P

Ekurz335, do you play online a lot or just single player? If you play single player I can help you get your fps up probably. What is your current setup? Brand names, model numbers, or their stats if you know. Look at some of the signatures in this thread to get an idea of what I mean. The more information the better.

If you're goal is play online and you aren't willing to put Special Forces aside for a while or really cut down on the graphics, then I'm not sure I can help you. I don't really play online.

i have not run into any low performance issues whatso ever with special forces. Frames still seem to be normal on SF but you can notice on Vanilla Bf2 they do run higher.

Umm well it all depends on your in-game settings. Sure I can run SF at 100+, just depends on how much stuff I turn down.

One thing I do notice is that most of the people having less problems have sound cards. Other than the "cool" factor, I've never really planned on getting a sound card. My motherboard sounds great. Honestly. Considering that I live in a house with two kids, I hardly get to play it that loud anyway, and when I do, it sounds awesome. But maybe it'll take a lot more load off of the motherboard than I previously thought. It's certinally worth a try. Still... that's down the road after a new psu, water cooling, and a new processor.

How are people running this game like crap? I still find it weird i'm able to run it fine, granted 10% less FPS from constant 40-50FPS from reg. BF2. My settings: 1280x1024x32, all medium except no shadows, full viewing distance.

Check your drivers and also clear the cache...

hmm seems like a weird way to get better performance, but seeing as I have got poor performance, and didnt install gamespy, maybe I should. Do I just reinstall, ticking yes, or can I install it seperate?
