Online Battlefield 2 is really slow!!!

jak12132 · 01-30-2009, 06:02 AM

Can anyone tell me how to make the online games for Battlefield 2 faster and without lag?

I've tried getting new firmware but that didn't help at all, so is there anything I can try without buying a new router?

list your computer specs.

jak12132 · 01-30-2009, 01:46 PM

In the drop down bar

**pharoah** · 01-30-2009, 02:07 PM

if your windows xp is fully updated to sp3.id say your problem is not enough ram.if its even updated to sp2 i still say the same.

jak12132 · 01-30-2009, 02:09 PM

So it isn't the router?(It's online only problem)

jak12132 · 01-30-2009, 02:11 PM

It's my computer?

**pharoah** · 01-30-2009, 02:13 PM

possibly but only 512 ram is a bit low if xp is fully updated.

jak12132 · 01-30-2009, 02:13 PM

oh is there anything i can do to fix it?

jak12132 · 01-30-2009, 02:20 PM

How do get a custom avatar???Sorry this is kind of random.

You need to either donate to the forum, have over 500 posts or be a member of a team.

Also, in you System Specs, you've mixed up your Memory and Hard Drive.

What's your ISP and connection speed? Have you port forwarded BF2?

**Jtsou** · 01-30-2009, 09:31 PM

Battlefield 2 is a very memory intensive game. It sucks a whopping 2 gigs of my memory when im running it.

And while you should be able to run it on a 7300, I wouldnt be running it at any high settings.

**Aus_Karlos** · 01-31-2009, 01:06 AM

1GB or less is only recommended to a 16 player server and on low graphical settings, if you are joining a 32 or 64 its somewhere around 1.5GB on low settings. 2GB or more to actually increase the graphical settings above low or medium.

jak12132 · 01-31-2009, 04:18 PM

Well my ISP is Verizon Wireless and my speed is:

jak12132 · 01-31-2009, 04:19 PM

Sorry for the hard drive and memory mix up(I was rushing)

jak12132 · 01-31-2009, 04:21 PM

Is there anything else wrong?

jak12132 · 01-31-2009, 04:22 PM

My settings are at low and 2 or 3 are medium

**Jtsou** · 01-31-2009, 05:26 PM

You need more memory, and a faster graphics card to optimize the graphics of this game.

You can get memory and a good graphics card relatively cheap, assuming you have a PCI-E slot.

jak12132 · 01-31-2009, 06:05 PM

I do but it's to much money for a Dell 8200 series because they only sell good prices for the latest computers

jak12132 · 01-31-2009, 06:08 PM

I'm hoping to buy a brand new gaming computer from http://www.pugetsystems.com

Mcninjaguy · 01-31-2009, 06:29 PM

what are think of buying a new Dell? have fun wasting your money

my advice is to save and buy a new custom computer

New PSU, Ram and video card should cost around $200+ for you

PSU
Corsair 550w
$85
after rebate $65
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817139004

Video Card
Visiontek 2400pro
$52
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814129126

RAM
G-Skill 1gb(2x 512mb)
DDR 400
$30
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231079

$167
after rebate $147

save and buy a new custom computer we are more than willing to help you

if you just need a faster computer but not a new LCD monitor or speakers it should only cost around $600 for a decent gaming computer.
