Today I came back from class at noon and installed bf2142 from ea downloader. Took about 10 minutes, installed the patch, and logged on! So happy to finally play this game, and i got my first unlock. jumped on to a couple of servers, my ping was decient like 60-80, around 2 oclock, my ping was really laggy, like 150-200. I figured a lot of people were on. So I stop playing for an hour, hoping it would go back down, then jumped right back on. I logged on and BOOM! MY PING, HIGH A FUCK! The menu read all my pings were 600 and above, So i logged into the lowest server i could find and got in and my ping never went down. I contacted Ea they said update punkbuster, did that, use this UO Trace, Ok did everything on there. basically all it told me was that my ping was fine outside of gaming. Well THAT IS GOOD TO FUCKING KNOW EA SUPPORT! then they said to update all my drivers and shit, and they said contact us when you have done all that an if your problem is not fixed contact us. I called 445 CST, on hold... Holding... nothing, i gave up at 5pm. I gave up for the day. I am so fucking pissed that even in a new game they have De Jevu of bf2 patch 1.4. Are you fucking kidding me! I plan on calling EA again and not hangin up until this problem is solved i have enough rollover minutes to hold me the whole time the customer service center is open, i wont hang up that phone until this problem is solve. (sorry just venting very angry i cant even play a fucking NEW game)

P.S. I had that Punkbuster Problem too where you get kicked constantly. (Another Fucking Bullshit problem i have to deal with)

So far what i have done if anyone has any ideas:
Ran Win- something - that returns all your registry keys to how windows wants them
Installed bf2 with the 1.3 patch, maybe it would help with the ping, (that was the last time i saw a low ping)
Disabled windows's firewall, and antivirus software
uninstalled all anti virus software
Did the High ping fixer i found on battlefield 2 mesageboard
formatted my hard drive, and ONLY installed ea downloader and bf2142
Currently Right now im installing windows xp home with sp1 on it, and maybe somethign will help it.

If anyone has any suggestions PLEASE HELP ME!

Wow. That sucks, I feel your pain. Well...aside from the fact that you are playing 2142...you will get no sympathy from me there.

Buuuuut, are you having a low ping with BF2 as well, or just 2142?

The release of BF2142 is one of the most botched things I have ever seen. The array of different bugs is intence and they've already released a patch - unprecedented as I understand. To anyone who wants 2142, I say wait until thns has been sorted out before diving in there.

Seriously, Their are some major issues with this game. It is EZ to get pissed. WHY is is so difficult to get these things right? I'm pretty new to PC gamming. I never had any of these problems with a Counsul game (xbox, PS2, Nintendo). What they need to do is develop a better Installer. that will check and fix all the issues on your PC before you play. Instead we have to uninstall, reinstall, update, restart 10 times defrag, disassemble and reassemble your PC, Cross your fingers, go to church and pray. All this should not be necessary.

One questions: DO Mac's have these problems too? If not I am Defenetly going to buy a Mac next.

for one all ps2's are the same all xbox's are the same

now everybody has different components and different shit on their harddrives so not all pc's are the same so games run differently on all computers....thats why people have problems...and every single game/program/application has bugs in it just something you have to deal with in pc gaming

and im not sure but i dont think pc games work on mac computers.... and make sure you excede the minimum reqs by a hell of alot nobody wants to play any game at 10 frames per second

You called EA because your ping was high? Get a life. EA isn't responsible for your shitty internet.

Exactly. No good games for Mac, therefore Macs are worthless for gaming.

UPDATE: Contacted EA, did everything i could think of, turns out that ea could not come to an explanation on this matter, So i told them to give me my money back, they told me this, " We can not issue a refund, due to you agreeing to the terms and conditions which say you cant have a refund once purchased." I immediately asked for a supervisor, told them what is going on an how i cant even play the game, he told me thats fine. So looks like its back to BF2.
