Battlefield 2 - Slideshow Mode(Help)

[Sinque]

Well after recently installing BF2, again, I joined a server(High GFX settings) and it felt like a slideshow mode. It was jumping between frames like crazy.

I then changed the graphics to low settings and joined a server. The same happened...

I'm currently on:
Windows XP 64x
AMD 64 3200
2GB RAM
Geforce 6800 256mb

The only thing that I think can be the problem is the OS...

Cheers.

GS.

I'm upto the latest CPU drivers and fully updated OS.

Edit : I've just used the EA Games Easy Info program and it says this: 'Microsoft Windows Server 2003 family, Professional Service Pack 1 (Build 3790).' I'm definately on W64x though

This is what easy info fully says
Microsoft Windows Server 2003 family, Professional Service Pack 1 (Build 3790) - Red Cross
System Memory 2048.4 - Green Tick
Processor Speed 2211.4 - Green Tick
Display Device NVIDIA GeForce 6800 GS - Green Tick
Display Memory 256.0 - Green Tick
AMD AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3200+ 2211.4

I basically beat all the recommended by a mile but the OS is completely wrong...

Does it do the same in single player?

Just tested and yes. Sometimes it's fine and others it's not... If I looked into a corner or something it seemed to run fine - sometimes. It feels as though my FPS just hits the deck like a sack of rocks.

I've updated my GFX drivers this morning and it made no difference... I don't understand

Is your audio running in hardware mode? I got terrible performance when I re-installed BF2 and forgot to change the sound from software mode.

I've tried it in every mode there is and still no difference. I've tried changing every setting within that god damned gamed and still nothing... I just don't understand

You havent got a buttload of AA and AF forced thru the drivers, have you?

Not that I know of, no.

A lad i know is having the same bother. Is it just BF2 or is it happening in all games?

Just BF2, every other runs like a dream.


Going to try, another, re-install.

bf2 at high details is a major rig killer lower some details to medium and see. 6800gs will have issues with bf2 maxxed tbh.

Everything on lowest settings and no change
