Lag and in-game bouncing.

[steeljackal]

So, i tried to get PR working a good while ago...
Now i have finally got it working.

Anyway, heres my problem, my computer can more than handle PR.
But, every time i go in-game, i tend to rubber band, sometimes worse than others, my internet connection is decent, i have good RAM, good graphics card and a good processor on the whole.

The thing is, my ping is fine, being sustained at around about 40 everytime.
I have the same problem with standard BF2 and BF2142.

I mean ii turned my firewalls off aswell, still no change.

Any ideas?

Thanks for your support in advance.

What kind of network do you use? If your using a wireless connection try to get a line (Ethernet) instead.

Corrupted packet flow error will pop up when your packets(game data to the server) are consistently getting delayed or dropped. There is some tolerance on the server, light packet loss will make your game jumpy due to your not getting on time game data. Too much packet loss and your dropped.

Some routers with 'packet inspection' turned on can also trigger a disconnect when game data or voip traffic triggers a false "ping flood"attack and the router shuts down needed ports cutting off packet flow to protect your network,.
So try turning packet inspection off to see if that helps.
If you have a busy network you can also get dropped if your packets are consistently getting delayed due to high traffic.( your ping jumps way up from time to time)
You can check your ping with a free tool like Plotter Freeware 1.1
Always download from sites you know and trust.
Always scan new downloads before you run them as well.
If your running Xp you can tune up your internet connection with TCP Optimizer to maximize throughput.
check out speed guides web site
click here to use their TCP/IP Analyzer
results will show if you can improve throughput.

Having a router like D-links gamers lounge, that can prioritize traffic( they call it GameFuel), can make a night and day difference.
This GameFuel improves your online gaming experience by ensuring that your game traffic is prioritized over other network traffic, such as FTP or Web. This is of course much more helpful on networks with more than one user, but if you like to download bit Torret or other large files in the background while gaming you'll be glad you have one that can prioritize or 'shape' traffic.

So the question is where is the bottle neck? Is it inside the network (your PC to your router) or outside (modem to game server)
Inside a better router should help.
Outside improved throughput should help

Good luck
