Now that he pointed the crashes i have crashed couple times without any good reason. Like i alt tabbed out of bf2 to look some websites then it suddenly crashed. Also it crashed 10 seconds later after i joined wake airshow ;7

In another BF2 forum I read that you need to ensure that AA is set to off or it will CTD everytime you alt+tab.

Yeah i read that on the EA forums as well. Apparently EA/DICE never supported ALT+TABBING in the first place. So god knows what they did to kill that bit of functionality.

I played BF2 a couple of months ago, and everything was fine. then I stopped playing it. now I re-installed it for the 1.50 patch, but I'm having some trouble:

I play on nearby servers, so my ping is usually less than 50. always less than 100, but the game acts like it's over 300, like there's lots of packet loss or something. aiming can be very jittery, and I jump back and forth when I'm walking around.

I've checked my connection, and it's fine. other games are fine. Is there something wrong with my BF2 install, or could it be something related to the huge load EA's auth/acct servers must be taking with all the new/returning players? Anyone else experiencing it?

Computer is very high-end for BF2 (X2 6000+, 6GB RAM, HD4850) - when I played it a few months ago it was 100% fine, nothing about my hardware has changed since then.

added: is there some kind of command I can use to see if there's packet loss?

open the game, go in a server, bring up the console , and type ; pb_sleep 500, after that, press enter, and after that, type ; pb_writecfg
That will help

I've played about an hour now, and it is definitely improved! not quite 100%, but much better!

thanks a heap!

Dont alt tab or ctrl alt delete. Might be a cheat prevention. It will crash your game. I found that esc and then alt tab doesn`t crash your whole pc lol, you just have to ctrl alt delete and hopfully end now works lol

No problem mate, the command you just typed in and saved, means that punkbuster now checks your harddisk f for modified content every 500 seconds, instead of every 20 seconds
