I have a ATi Radeon X800XT on a nForce4 chipset and I get some kind of keyboard lag. it takes about 2-8 second before a keypress is executed realmad.gif

I've had this same problem. It's not in Battfield 2 though. It's in Rainbow Six. You press forward and it does nothing for like 4 seconds and then you start moving. I have no idea what is causing this or how to fix it!
FthrJACK
ok, play on servers where your ping is not 150+ and avoid servers with people with 200+ pings in them or you will lag like crazy.

Also, for EVERYONE playing this, i suggest you go to graphics options and turn on at LEAST 2X AA or the game looks whack.

Also, dont play it on a silly high res dude, your system might be struggling with it and hence the lag, try lower. higher you go it only gets harder to aim at people anyway as they look smaller. i have the same GPU as yourself, running the game with all textures on high, lighting and shadows on medium, 1024X768 and 2XAA and it runs well.

my clan set our server up and i moded the server file so our server has no stupid 12 minute timer on it too smile.gif the timer shows... but once it hits 0:00 the game carries on. much beter being able to play a proper round! thumbup.gif
XPerties
Does this demo do multi players?

Can't figure it out.
FthrJACK
of course.. Battlefield is a multiplayer game, its not something you would play offline against bots.

the big button that says MULTIPLAYER on it is a big clue Xperties tongue.gif

hence the clan server?


you left your brain in bed today? lol
XPerties
Yeah uh and then it tells me I have to create a account, do that and it stays at "Creating an account..."

Is there a certain server info have to put in or shouldn't the server list refresh when you click on it.


BTW kick a** game.

I have a AMD 64 3200+ with 1,536 ddr 2700 ram, DFI MB with the Nforce 3 250GB chipset and a ATI 9200 128mb vid card.. Basically what I'm saying is that my system is plenty for the game but I don't think my video card is.. I'm having problems with the interaction between the mouse and the menu icons. I have actually had the game load into an active game but It crashed because of my video card after about a minute of gameplay. I know I need a new video card, pref. a Nvidia 6800 just to exceed the expectations. Is there any solution besides the obvious "get a new video card"..? Will a downgrade in the catalyst drivers work temporarily or what? I went on EA Games offcial website but I could find a solution about my problem.. Please someone with a valid comment please help, I really want to play this demo bad.. sad.gif

-=Sub=-

Sorry wrong area.. whistling.gif My mistake but can someone still please help before I go nutz..
XPerties
OMG do I suck at fly a chopper or airplane. How hard is that crap.

Man where are you other guys hanging out? What channel. I wanna beat the crap out of you guys like old times..lol.
FthrJACK
Xperties, me and my guys hang out on our US server, we dont have our EU server yet. its running on its own box, no virtual host crap, hypernia sponsor our hosting for us smile.gif

204.11.239.76 for game server
teamspeak 204.11.239.76:8767

Xfire - add fthrjack
(if you try add me, and i dont know who you are, then ill reject it)


it can be laggy for me at time because of where it is, but when its not i can fly the choppers so well it will scare you. but.. when it starts lagging i end up failing maneuvers because of missed frame rates and stuff and end up clipping houses or hitting the water as i fly low + fast.

They are very different fromt he copters in BFV or DC, but once you get the hang of them they rock. i dont like the main weapons tho i thinkt he missiles need a bit more ummf to them as you can hit soldiers with them and not get a kill.. pretty lame sometimes.

you should ideally always have a gunner too... if they know how to and they right click and use the TV guided missile you become a pretty deadly team. couple of my buddies do it sometimes with me flying and they are **** good with it... i cant fly that guided missile for crap tho.

the jets... i hate them, its impossible to fly them with a joystick, just wont work - nobody i know can get it to work properly so you have to fly them by keyboard and i hate it so havent bothered.

commander mode i love doing, when you have a few squads on the server and they work with you, it rocks.

we unlocked some new weapons on our server, and i also removed the 12 minute timer too smile.gif the timer runs.. hits 0, but the game carries on going. servers often full tho as a result. we did at one point unlock it to allow 64 players on but its too many people for a small map, the server handled it fine tho.

This game comes out on the 21st, correct? I have been playing the demo countless amounts of time and can't wait for the retail version.

- Battlefront
- TonyHawks underground 2
- Spintercell 1, 2, & 3
- half-life 2
- UT2004

Well I re-instaled, (re-ghosted), my GaMEr'Z account, I have not installed the DEMO version yet, ...

but on a side note i did go out and buy Battlefield 2!!! ..... after playing it on my friends PC - i just couldn't wait any longer, so i went out and bought it on
DVD ($43.97) @ Costco thumbup.gif the Retail DVD version works great on my PC and has no problems at all.!!

I will install the DEMO version tomorrow to let you know if it works on my pc....

%*(#*&$~'N demo.... realmad.gif why won't you work?????? stupid **** beep* piece o **** beep BF2 demo.....***** beep!!*



~~~~~~~
EDIT: i installed the demo and it works, but not nearly as fast as the retail version. I get much slower FPS in the Demo. (another reason to hate demos.....)

Has anyone else had problems with the demo, gone out and bought the full retail version, and had the full version work fine? I'd love to get this game, but I don't have $40 to spend on a game that's not garaunteed to work on my machine.

Here are my specs, if that helps:

P4 2.4B Ghz (Northwood)
1 GB Dual DDR 400 (Kingston)
ABIT IS7-E Motherboard w/ Intel 865PE Chipset
HIS Excalibur 9200SE 128MB AGP 8x (Powered by ATI Radeon 9200SE VPU - 200MHz)
Windows XP Pro SP2
Latest BIOS, chipset and ATI drivers
Wicket20519
Ok, today I was talking to someone at the college, and he said he and his friends had had the same problem.

Luckily, the figured out a way around it.

In your BIOS, set the AGP from 8x to 4x. I had mine set at 8x; it wouldn't run the game. After I switched to 4x, I could play!

Why is this? I haven't a clue...While my graphics card isn't that great, I love playing the game.
suryad
I have an agp 8x on my laptop....Dell XPS. I play BF2 @ 1600 x 1200 med settings. I think it is your graphics card. Cause I have the same Intel chipset as you do.
Maleko
I got the full game and it is ACE.


it is VERY system hungry, it basically takes over your OS.

You will have to close EVERYTHING down in th background as it just takes so much resources.
Jeremy
I have it, wonder how it will run on a:
AMD 64 3700+
2GBs PC3200 Dual Channel
GeForce 6800GS....
Maleko
run very nice!

just upgraded to 2 gigs of memory, bug difference when loading and playing the game!

What?!!! A bug?!!!

Just kidding. newwink.gif

I've been playing the demo a lot. The graphics would be awesome if my graphics card was awesome. All the graphics settings for BF2 are set at low. If I try to turn them up any higher (that is, if I can even highlight that option) when I start playing the gameplay freezes every couple of seconds.

But I don't really mind. Just wish the sniper rifle was better....
Maleko
yip, major bug with 2 gigs newwink.gif hehe


sniper rifle could be better, agreed.

on my 66GT i run all normal settings with 100% view distance.
suryad
Sniping is crap and the fact that there is no CTF mod out yet sucks as well.
Wicket20519
I really like blowing stuff up with the C4. There is no end to the enjoyment I feel when I use it.

Sometimes, though, I forget to back away when I detonate the explosives...
Maleko
lol, i know wat u mean!

its all the excitment!


"yeh, im gona blow u up! yeh! yeh! yeh!"

boom!

Maleko is no more.
