I've read several forms, and tried the processor affinity bit for both bf2.exe and e~5000.  Updated PB.  I've tried setting BF2 to 32-bit compatibility mode.  Still it won't stay connected.  Single player works, but it will not stay connected to a server for more then 10 seconds.

Anyone else know of a work around?

ITS FIXED!!!!111!!!!

Not sure what fixed it.  Maybe a combination of things.  No need to set processor Affinity!  It works with both cores!

Here's what I did:

Uninstalled and reinstalled to the normal default directory, not the "program files (x86).  (*This did not fix it, but in case of a combination of things maybe this will help)

What did fix it was I downloaded Special Forces with the EA downloader.  It then automatically patched again to 1.1, in which I applied patch 1.21 again after that. 

Booted right up and works everytime. 

BTW; this card is unbelievable.  I can see all the way across maps in a plane with incredible detail.

I hade to set affinity to 1st cpu to get BF to stop dropping on me. I also turned off QoS in the network setup control panel, just for good measure. Haven't had the problem for a while now.

Clear across the map? doesnt bf2 have a max draw distance? mines at 100% but i cant see more then say 1/4 of the way in a jet. Am I missing something?

ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe
AMD Athlon64 FX-53 @ 2.4Ghz
2x EVGA 256Mb 7800GT COs (yes they are COs not OCs, refers to the Copper heatsink, although they are overclocked)
2x Corsair 1028Mb value ram
2x Maxtor 160Gb 16Mb PATA HDDs

The Nvidia 7900 will own the ATI 1900 in BF2 for sure, as its optimized for Nvidia

Is there a way to do this once and for all, or is it necessary to run BF2 and then open Task Manager to do it?
