So, I lost my CDs and decided to download the DVD, installed just fine.
However, I would guess that 90+% of the servers it finds are very distant (usually Eastern European, Asian, and even some Aussie servers), and thus have pretty bad ping times. I am in the Eastern U.S. running normal BF2 1.41. I did notice that it shows an American flag next to my name in BFHQ, but I also created the account with my original CDs that I bought.
I have tried googling, and searching here if there is some kind of regional setting, but I am guessing that even if there is, it cannot be changed without reverse-engineering the code. Which isn't a big deal, as using the all seeing eye is only slightly less aggravating than the in-game browser. Anyone have any ideas on this?
Thanks in advance.
