Global Conflict

Posted: **Tue Sep 05, 2006 3:23 pm**

For the last week I've been having some heavy problems playing BF2 on GC. Everytime I go to spawn it sez Connection problems and it takes about 30s to 2 mins to spawn in and most times I am already dead by the time I spawn.

I've defraged reinstailed bf2 and done everything I can think of to solve the issue but have failed can anyone help. Strangely it only seems to happen when I play on the GC server.

thanks

I noticed that one of the GC servers was using the battlerecorder.. could that have something to do with it?

I was thinking the problem is at my end or other people would be having the same problems.

Battle Recorder should be off on both servers. Will check on that one just to make sure.

I had similar problems on today's EUBO. I would be running around, happily giggling at all the mayhem, and then suddenly "there is a problem with your connection". It would only last a few seconds, but that's enough to really mess with your attack, lol. I noticed a thread about punkbuster updates, I wonder if that's got something to do with it

Yeah please check if your PB is updated.

SIGH I've done some checking and my BF2 problems dont seem to just on GC, but doesnt seem to effect the mods as I can play POE2 and such with no problems.

Definitely give PB update a spin.

Is your hard drive light furiously working while this happens? Some people have claimed deleting the cache files in the Battlefield2/Mods\BF2 and Xpack folder in MyDocs helps, but its never made a difference for me.

I noticed the average lag on the NA server with 42 players today was 85. Is that higher than normal, it seems to me that it is..........

New PB update today.

Saw people getting PB kicked and it started causing me rubberband lag on NA server.

Updated my PB, joined the server, had a little lag while PB uploads information about my computer files. But then it was smooth after that.
