Horrible stutter - online only

[CheeseBeard]

Hi all, been playing BF42 for a while now and finally decided to give BF2 a shot, mainly for the multiplayer. However whenever i connect to any server i get terrible choppy/stuttery gameplay every few seconds and i know for a fact that the problem is not lag - am constantly pinging at under 30ms.

System specs:
-2.3ghz processor
-1.5GB RAM
-ATI X800 Pro 256MB Graphics card

I've tried updating drivers, changing video settings, updating punkbuster etc. but nothing seems to have worked. I also saw on another thread that changing AGP aperture settings in the BIOS can help, but could not find an option to change my own when i loaded BIOS on start-up.:cry:

Anyone know what the problem is and how to fix it?

Thanks a lot

Re: Horrible stutter - online only

I've tried to turn the AGP aperture up in BIOS...but couldn't find an option to do this :hmm: (i hit delete as comp was booting up and the only graphics option i could change was whether i wanted to use PCI or AGP).

Is there another way to change aperture or am I doing something totally wrong here? I'm not too experienced with this kinda thing :laugh:

Thanks again

When you enter your Bios, try hitting Ctrl+F1. Some bios's require you to do this to see the advanced chipset menu.

Ah thanks a lot, i'll give it a try. Though i was going mad looking for an option that wasn't there.

Re: Horrible stutter - online only

I had to reinstall whole BF2 in order to get rid of stuttering.

Re: Horrible stutter - online only

Anyone know how to change AGP Aperture size in Bios if there is no option for it? I've tried Ctrl-F1 with no success.

If it helps i have Phoenix bios 6.

Thanks again

I saw this on another forum

And for hou can't find the setting in the bios, probably you have a Phoenix bios, witch hasn't got any options for that (you'll need a windows bios tweaker).

Have you ttied playing with your firewall switched off?

Even if I disable my firewall I get stuttering but works fine once I turn it off.
