Lag and how to improve your system?

[Bigtime834]

I realize that the more RAM you have the less lag you will get. But what other things can I do or try to help with the lag in Battlefield 2.

My System
Intel Pentium 4 Processor
1GB of RAM
2.6 Ghz. for Processor Speed
Geforce 6800 GT 256MB

Those are just a few of my main system figures.

IGN had a good article about optimizing your system. http://gear.ign.com/articles/626/626714p1.html

When I Start A Round I Only Lag For Less Then 10 Sec. And I Never Have Any Problems Unless Of Course The Server Is Messed Up

I have 2gb ram, 1-9800 pro 256 bit 256mb and an Athlon 3000+ and I dont lag at all. Course I have to set all vid on med with no A/A. I cant beleive you lag at all with that set-up.

Regardless Of What U Have When U First Start Out Your Computer Has To Pull All The Slack Out Of The Ping So U Will Get Lag But It All Depends On How Good Your Comp Is For How Long It Lasts For

Re: Lag and how to improve your system?

For all the nonbelievers out there: 2GB ram helps a lot. You are always first on the map because BF2 can load the map faster into the memory.
A standard map takes up (at med/high) 1.3/1.5GB ram.
If you have only 1GB ram, then BF2 has to write to your 'virtual memory' means the harddisk. that's what slows your system down. So BF2 has to write 300/500MB to the harddisk. thats not that bad. its only loading you think. but NO! when ur in the game, BF2 has to access that slow Harddisk of yours (even a HD on 10.000rpm is slow compared to RAM) This is the clientsided lag (the other lag is called serverlag, due to bad connections)

Have 2GB

Re: Lag and how to improve your system?

indeed, BF2 is one of those rare games (at this moment) that actualy requires 1.5 or 2 Gig RAM (when playing at medium high) .
