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?

try tuning down your graphic, it might just be a little high.

exact same settings as before. and it's not video lag, it's just like if there's a lot of packet loss. happens on every server

Everything went smoothly for me also on both my Vista and XP machines .. no issues as yet apart from my Localization files being reset to default but thts no big deal really.

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

''Error: wrong syntax'' says that when i type ''pb_sleep 500'' into console. I tryed everything, added ' / ' front and typed all together, all separate. Nothing seems to help!

Sorry to hear that, DC.

I have had no such problems, and BF2 1.5 is running for me sweet as anything - no lag, no problems at all.
