Just loaded BF2+1.12patch and its odd takes 5 minutes to load into EA account and when u click multiplayer takes 2-4 minutes to get in? Once in its ok though !

Im assuming its something to do with my rigg, or does anyone know if its a common issue?

X2-4400/2gig+7800-512GTX rigg

Speeds it up if u make some filters, will show 1000 servers instead of 5000.

uk_snake · 3 Dec 2005 at 19:37

Grrrrrrrrrrr, I installed the singleplayer 64 player co-op mod earlier & thought it'd ***** my system up as it I can't log in & been trying to get rid with sys restore to no avail & now I read this above Grrrrrrrrr

What makes me laugh about that EA thread is that it's perfectly possible to play single player without logging in to the Account server. You just create a new offline account and play SP/own server on that. Got some chopper practice in..

trouble is it doesn't give you access to the 64 player mod, I just tried it :mad:

Need some help guys. Installed BF2 and after getting rid of a lot of rubbish I was able to install the 1.12 patch. The only problem is whenever a map is loading and error messhae about memory keeps coming up and crashes the game to the desktop. Now I was told I only 1.12 patch is this correct? Also does anyone have any idea why this is happening? It's getting annoying now as I've had the game since Friday and have been unable to play it.

1.12 should be the only patch you need.

Have you tried running memtest for a couple of passes to see if your RAM is ok?

Wossi · 4 Dec 2005 at 19:36

Not yet, currently an in depth virus test. Will run memtest as soon as the virus check is done.

EDIT: Just thought, when you put the disc in there is an option to install the nvidia drivers. Do I need to do this even if I have an ati card?

atpbx · 4 Dec 2005 at 20:33

On a side note, how cool is the FX2000?

HighlandeR · 5 Dec 2005 at 07:56

Yup after having issues with 5-10 minutes to connect/It seemed to pass yesterday was logging in EA account within 5-10 seconds and in a game in a minute or 2/but yeah good idea to bookmark your favorite servers.

Not really that even, the servers loaded fast and stable yesterday.

I did crash once when loading the game with new settings taken place got to 50% optimising shaders and just stayed there for 10 minutes so I rebooted and worked second time.

BF2 engine and EA is a very bad combo but considering its still one/if not the best game about atm your forced to endure the issues.

I wasnt too pleased to see the occasional slow down/pause especially with 2gig/512meg GTX and 4400X2 otherwise 1280x1024/All max and 4X AA though ! but I hear its always possible!

No, its just the EA and nVidia have a little deal going so nvidias drivers come with most EA games thats all ... if you're with ATI then forget about that option!

hmmmm....having picked up Special Forces, and having bumped up my ranks, I have 4 unlocks burning a hole in my pocket.
I have already got the vanilla unlocks for Medic, SF, Anti Tank and Engineer......whats good now?
Should I use them to get the "full set" or get some SF unlocks for the classes I play most?
How do the unlocks work in playing vanilla BF2 from SF?

Lee2k4 · 6 Dec 2005 at 10:37

Last night was hilarious. I was playing BF2 Vanilla on Oil Fields and taking out every armoured vehicle I see with the choppers TV guided missiles. I then get called a chopper whore and booted from the game. Also on Karkand, I was using my flashbangs and got kicked. Some admins are too funny.

TaKeN · 6 Dec 2005 at 10:58

I was owning in the chopper one night, before the dredded stats reduction patch. Me in co pilot, and this other ace dude flying, We both had about 100+ Points each when all of a sudden he was kicked, and the heli crashes. So i get back in the respawned heli, killed some dude.

Then KICKED Due To High Ping ROFL n00b Admins.

DrEvil · 6 Dec 2005 at 11:57

The high ping kick is automatic on most servers, it's an option in clanforge when using modmanager, on our server it is set to kick at > 250. It is a good feature, because people with high pings cause lag issues for everyone else.
