BF2S Forums x1900GT glitchiness what settings should I be running at?

I think it may be a problem with the game itself.  I just got a 7600GT, running at 1024x768, and been running on high for the most part with no problems.  Just in the last few days I've noticed a stutter every now and then like you described with no change in ping.  Didn't change any settings, and my temps are all fine, it just does it on some servers and on others with a worse ping it doesn't.  So who knows.

Textures need system Ram  ^

Monitor specs please.

I just got the x1900GT and have had some weird mouse lag type issues.  When I stop moving or when I turn fast I keep moving/turning for a half second when I stop.  I also have slight glitching issues where the screen freezes slightly. 

These problems occur at high settings and more so at 1600x1200.  If you have a similar set-up what are your settings to see if I can run adaquately run at the same settings.  I'm trying to troubleshoot whether there is a problem with my set-up or if I am just expecting too much from my system.

Thanks.

i think its the game fucking up,recently fixed some bad mouse lag i suddenly had few days ago,never had it before,nothing new on my system to have caused it,tried reinstalling mouse driver,cleared game cache & rest of the junk still same.
reinstalled bf2,sf & stuff & its fixed it.played for 2 nights now & no probs,where before it'd lag/not turn sideways/keep turning or moving lol thaught my mouse was possessed.

bf2's sorted now so thaught i'd mention it.

All the above suggestions are good.  My monitor is a url=http://www.viewsonic.com/support/desktopdisplays/crtmonitors/proseries/pf790/]Bad ASS Professional quality AG[/url]  (Best monitor I've ever owned and I think it's my 9th)

-=5TON3D I'm glad re-installing the game worked for you.  I may try the same.  It sounds like master_blaster_josh should try that also. 

If that doesn't work, I may take a 1GB stick out of my HTPC and drop it in this PC for a trial.

I'm  also getting lag / stuttering that I haven't noticed up until a few days ago.

Seems to be worse when I'm in a close in fight and am frantically trying to maneuver for a kill. It happened several times tonight on Dragon Valley, one time I nearly lost my connection so not sure whether its more related to network issues.

When I get it, my cross-hairs seem to jump all over the place. If I try to turn slightly my view jumps amost 180 degrees.

Think I'll try -=5TON3D's idea and re-install BF2.

if you aint re'installed yet dont bother unless you wanna try it anyway as a last resort,mines started doing it again & its pissing me off.

hav'nt played bf2 for a couple of days & fancied a game tonight so went on my fave server & started ice skating slightly trying to line myself up in my usual spot to make sure i get in the jet first lol,funny to have recorded if i had frapps running but annoying at the time.
gave in after 2 rounds just couldnt be arsed to put up with delayed reactions when walking & trying to stop exactly where needed.server crashes are bad enough to live with.

one thing i have done since reinstall though that might possibly have affected my controls again,is i updated punkbuster which i do now & then using the manual update app so's to lessen the lag ingame letting bf2 update itself,never know could be a punkbuster bug but i've not heard of anyone having pb bugs in this way before so i dont know,just another guess at trying to fix my mouse/controls prob so i'm gonna look into it further.

Ill inform you guys when I get my Club3D X1900XTX 512 mb, if I get the same issues.

basically using a wireless connection for gaming= meh!


and really 1gb is borderline low end now.

im using a similiar setup...)
AMD 64 3500,2gig OCZ platinum,x1900xt @xtx speeds and i run only at 1024x768 but everything on high/max with 4xAA
AHHHHHH THE PURE SILKY SMOOTH FRAMES...)

Quick update...

I reckon that my glitching was caused by the Netgear WG111T USB WiFi dongle I am using. 

Last night I reverted the drivers back from 1.3 to 1.2, and instead of using built in Windows WiFi configuration I used the supplied Netgear configuration app.

WiFi is now running at 54Mbps instead of 108 Mbps and I haven't had any glitches since changing things...

I'll post back when I know whether I fixed it or not.

...and another thing

I'm using a Razer Diamonback mouse and found that I had trouble getting it set 'just right'. It seemed a bit jumpy and not that precise. As an example if I tried to aim at someones head, the crosshair would jump eitehr side of their head but was a bugger to get spot on. I decided to re-install the Razer mouse drivers but wanted to remove the old ones and reboot first.

After I rebooted I tried the game with the Razer Diamonback mouse and the vanilla Windows drivers and voila! The mouse ran as smoothly as a baby's arse! Now I am just using the M$ mouse drivers and my score per minute is rising again

I read a FAQ on Razers site that said you may need to raise the thread priority of a couple of mouse driver related processes to high in order to combat CPU time starvation on resource intensive games. If I did this it would mean I'd have to fire up BF2, use task manager to set BF2.exe affinity to CPU zero and then set thread priorities of mouse driver processes to high.  Knickers to that! Just un-install the Razer software and job's a good-un.

A bit off topic regarding the X1900 but might help someone that has the glitches ;-)

I know my issue isn't a network issue, I get the same laggy mouse in single player.  I use a belking n52 speedpad for movement, I should try uninstalling that to see if that is the culprit.
