BF2S Forums bf2 not running as gd as it used 2

Maybe a virus?

There are a few things you can try....

1) Ensure that you delete your profile when uninstalling. This is rarely a problem, but sometimes this helps a bit. It's especially important to delete the cache files

2) Rename your bf2.exe file. Sometimes the Nvidia drivers "recognize" the file and try to "optimize" your gaming experience. Optimal my a**. Renaming will prevent this optimization.

3) If you patched with incremental patches, try to patch with the full patch. This may not help a LOT, especially on speed issues, but it will usually help on other issues

4) Remember to set your punkbuster config correctly. While this rarely slows down newer PCs much, it does have some effect. When starting a map hit the tilde (or whatever key is the console key in your setup), and type in the following two commands: "pb_sleep 500" and "pb_writecfg" (without the hyphens ofcourse). This should prevent Punkbuster from doing too much scanning on your drive while loading/playing.

5) If you have the option/software, defrag your game files and cache after installation.  This will usually only give you a second or two better loading, so I doubt this is the problem, but try it just in case. If you do not have software that will allow you to selectively defrag what you want. Uninstall BF2, delete your cache, defrag, then install, patch, and here's the kicker: start a multiplayergame you HOST, choosing EVERY SINGLE map in the list, then load each of them to put the textures in the cache. You should now be able to load a lot faster

6) Ensure that you do not have any weird programs running in the background. A lot of stuff can interfere. Clean out your PC from virus and spyware. Ensure you dont have any messengers loaded, ensure that your webcam (or any other items running on USB or firewire) has been disconnected if you're not going to use it.

7) Once you've found a "good" config. make a backup of your drive "as it is". This is always good to be able to restore in case of problems.

This should help... At least it helps when I do it.

I have done a total reinstalled of xp and then installed bf2 and it is still doing it.
I have run out of ideas now lol.
Dont know what else to do

I think its the hot weather. Mines running slower than normal. What cooling you got? I have to turn mine off for half hour to get it cool again.

I reckon it's something to do with your egregious spelling of 'good'...

ahhhh virus runnnnnnnnnnnnn or just run a scan either or its up to you... and if u already have and nothing came up then mabye your powersuplies not powerful enough for graphics card etc, cause if thats so then its probably your motherboard going to fried shit, or mabye not you never no with computers (and yes im serious, weak power can fuck your motherboard)
