i just built a new computer with plenty of everything needed to run bf2...i can play but after about 20 minits or so it starts getting all choppy ...any ideas? pentium d 3.0 ghz 1 gig of ram geforce 7900 256 meg
Heat. How's the ventilation/cooling in your computer?
Background
Whats running in the Background
Virus scanner/ Spyware scanner etc

I would think it wouldn't be due to background applications unless he has something running every twenty minutes.joker3327 wrote:

Poor ventilation and backround prosses can both be giving you prolems. Also you might want to upgrade to 2GB's of RAM and that will also help out alot.
yeah i have norton running and a few little things ike some stuff for my keyboad and mouse...should i shutoff norton while on the battlefield...im also getting sp2 i thouht that may help
Is it jus choppy video or everything? If you restart and don't shutdown, does the problem go away. If it is heat related the problem should persist after a warm restart. Does it only go haywire during BF2. It may just be the video card getting two hot. Does it clear up once you close the game. More info, I need more!!!!!!!!!!!!
i guess its kinda like lag ill be running then ill be over there (not the way i was running) if i restart bf2 its cool again for like 20 mins so i dont think its a heat problem ...ill put another fan in just in case ...other games seem to run ok but there kind of old skool im waitng on doom 3 this week so well see how it handles that ...and yeah once i close the games everything is fine ere are no problems running anything in windows
on second thought when i exit bf2 widows takes a bit longer than usual to get the desktop screen in order...prolly a heat issue than?
no, get another gig of ram, that should sort you out.

check if your processor is throtteling due to heat (there is a program out there that will tell you so, but i dont remeber it's name). That would defenetely lead to lag

once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.
ill check it out also the maps take a lot longer to load than on my brothers computer which i used to play on could i be a slow hardrive or low cach on said harddrive

What are your video settings at? Try lowering them temporarily for a test to see if the card is just getting beat up.
the card should easily take all high on 1280X1024, i have the same card, and AA at 4, u should get around 40 fpsKnowMeByTrailOfDead wrote:

Could it be the paging file resizing?
Sober enough to know what I'm doing, drunk enough to really enjoy doing it
could be, since his comp only has a gig of ramKing_County_Downy wrote:

i shut off norton and it worked great the funny thing tho is that i told norton to come back on in an hour and played for well over that ...so norton was running before i quit laying and no problems there...none the less im ging to buy ram after i pay off the bulk of this computer
Norton 2004 can't be turned on once it's off and then Windows keeps giving you stupid security messages. Of course none of you probably even still use 2004 so......
