Did 1.2 fix the FPS lag?

[Eriksson]

Or atleast improve it?

Anyone noticed an increase in performance?

Yes, as a matter of fact! it seems much smoother, daubt its because of the patch though.

Re: Did 1.2 fix the FPS lag?

Yeah, things are much smoother after the patch, and the FPS has gone up a bit.

Iron Gate is still the same though, it lagged terribly all 3 times I played it last night

I picked up about 10fps and it seems to have smoothed out a little.

Seems to be the same with only a minor (hardly noticeable) improvement

Re: Did 1.2 fix the FPS lag?

My game got worse after installing the patch. (Reformatted then installed bf2 then bf2:SF, applied full 1.2 patch, defragged)
I now can't even play the game on low settings at 800x600 resolution without my controls locking up.

I've got a Pentium-M 1.86 ghz, 2gb ddr2 pc4200 ram, and an nvidia geforce 6800

its funny because the first page of the SF manual says that with a 6800 or better you can run all the features at higher resolutions.

The FPS has improved (for those that dont feel like upgrading) but now graphics have gone noticibly worse, for some reason I play Iron Gator and there are shadows running across the floors up the walls and accross the ceiling. Kinda like playing F.E.A.R.....

Your CPU is bottlenecking your card. I had a 2ghz P4 when I had my 6800GT and 2 gigs of Ram, when I swapped the P4 for my 3500+ my framerate went from 15-20 to 60+. Don't blame your graphics card.

Re: Did 1.2 fix the FPS lag?

My fps has improved and I'm just on the edge of not being able to play the game because my hardware is now near obsolete: Amd 1900=1.6GHz CPU, Radeon 9550, 1GIG RAM.

Prior to this patch I've experienced lag so bad I was considering selling the game and my account on ebay. Has it stopped me from doing this, for the time being the answer is yes. I shouldn't expect much being that I'm low on the totem pole when it comes to capable hardware, but still, when it ran well prior to the first initial patches and the special forces add-on, it kinda makes you feel crappy when you're pushed off the edge there...

Good example of scaled game that runs very well with awesome graphics is ubisofts Rainbow Six: Lockdown. Of course these are mini maps that are small urban instances, nothing huge like BF2, but still, the awesome gamplay and graphics still kick ass, even on my lowly machine :)

I totally agree with you here m8 ! It is terrible that EA/DICE ain't doing jack about this issue ! And then they wonder why some people don't play BF2:SF that much. It is ridiculous. Probably you guys remember the HARDCORE LAG issue also on that one russian map ( with the rocket in the middle ). Impossible to fly the HIND-E properly cause you were lagged to death. BF2 is just perfect to me now. Ok here and there they could of course fix some minor issues ( Strike at Karkand, tanks tilt to the side when you drive up on a sidewalk, TOW issue etc. ) But one of the biggest mistakes they made with SF was that they put the TV GUIDED MONITORS too low, I mean way too low. Pilots have to move the chopper so high that they fly backwards ! WTF.
I really really hope EA/DICE won't mess up EURO FORCE........Matter of fact, it's also very dissapointing that they still haven't fixed the issues with the awards and ribbons in Special Forces..........

WHEN DO THEY LEARN !!!!! ------------------- DO THEY EVER ?

Re: Did 1.2 fix the FPS lag?

My FPS have gone down the drain.

When I just had normal Battlefield 2 I was running it at 1280x1024 4xAA Max/Textures Med, I then got Special Forces and had to go down to 1024x768 2xAA/Most medium to get it smooth.

Latest patch im still at 1024x768 2xAA/most medium but its dropping to the 20's/30's which I find unplayable.

Specs:
3200 Venice @ 2.5Ghz (stock 2)
1GB DDR400 Kingston @ DDR420 2.5-3-2-5 1T
200GB IDE Seagate
256MB 6800GS @ 485/1100

Re: Did 1.2 fix the FPS lag?

After i loaded patch 1.2 the game has become so laggy it's a slide show... even the voices are laggy and chopped thus unplayable. I have updated windows and video drivers, uninstalled BF2 and re-installed all to no avail. Any suggestions are welcome and appreciated.

Re: Did 1.2 fix the FPS lag?

My FPS has been fine but other players look more laggy than ever, doesnt happen all the time but 9 times out of ten just about everyone is jittering across my screen where i on the other hand can move around fine.
