I run battlefield 2 on High Settings with 4x AA. But at times i get some horrible lag. I do have super slow DSL... so I'm hoping that the problem is that. ALSO! My hardrive makes a chirpy sound everytime it works hard ( when the hardrive light is solid ). I can play battlefield 2 on low settings just fine with no lag ( the chirping of the hardrive still accures ).
I'm only 15 years old... I've been working on computers for about 2 years now. So if someone out there can tell me that it is for sure my lame internet... that would make me feel so much better, but if it is one of my hardrives... then I guess I'll get a new one.

My comp specs are:
AMD athlon 64 x2 3.2ghz 6400+
Nvidia Geforce 8800GTS 640mb
2 gig Corsair DDR2 800
640gig hardrive (2 striped)

Does your PC lag with other games online? What is your connection anyway? IMO your hard drive wouldn't make you lag it would crash if it was faulty, the hard drive isn't accessed much once the game is loaded. The spec you've got should run BF2 maxed out with ease so I would guess it's your connection though.

I play the BF2 mod Point of Existence. I have the most expensive DSL you can get. Yet I lag so bad playing PoE2 now I never play.
I have a good vid card Radeon X800 Pro. AMD 4000 CPU and 2 GB Ram so its not my PC. Before the latest patch I was able to play with alot less lag.
However since PoE2 came out i noticed the larger the server player count the worse my stuttering was.

I play HL2 mod Insurgency with almost zero stuttering. But again a 16 player server full i have way less stuttering then if its like 32 player server.

See if playing smaller player counts doesnt help your stuttering.

Hi had this problem playing wirelessly to router downstairs in m8's house high pings 100 -150 and occasional freezes found a website that meantioned a way to slow down the time the in game pb update checker refreshes.

Step 1: Ok, the first step is very simple, join any BF2 online server which is running punkbuster, preferably a ranked one.

Step 2: Once you are in, and respawned somewhere, press the ` or tilde key. This key is located on most keyboards above the tab key and to the left of the 1 key

Step 3: Once you have pressed this, a large white box should drop down with a load of text in it. Type "pb_sleep 500" (without the quotation marks) and hit the enter key

Step 4: Once you have done this, make sure the box is still up and type pb_writecfg to save your settings
