Need Help with Lag

[Guest]

After updating to 1.61B a couple of weeks ago I am having terrible lag
problems. I had no problems before. I play online with my brother and he is
having no problems since the update. Does anyone have a suggestion to try? I
am to the point of uninstalling and then reinstalling. I did play Lost
Village last night with little lag, but when I went to El Alamine The lag
was so bad I was running in place. I could not go anywhere! Battlefield
Vietnam works fine.Thanks for any suggestions.

Compaq Presario 2.5 mhz
1 gig ram
ATI Radon 9600SE video card 128 megs ram, I updated the drivers after the
lag started, no difference.
I have Cable Internet (Cox) Speed is good and reliable.

Did your punkbuster client update ok?

In game, go to the console and type pb_ver to show you the client versions
for everyone on the server.

You might to update your processor. CPU in the GHz-range has become
quite affordable.

Do you disable your virus check while playing? If not, try that.

Updating Punkbuster seems to have fixed my problem. Thanks for the help!
