Internet:
I am connected directly to my modem (which is also a router). I do have a bad DSL connection by I still get 95 ping in game. Windows firewall off, no antivirus.

The problem(s) that I am having is a sort of rubber band/stutter effect when sprinting, moving, zooming in, looking around and just about doing anything. Half of the time when I turn a corner I end upback where I started (rubber band). At random times I'll be looking in a previous direction. Overall, everything is just really twitchy and buggy looking. I also remember seeing these effects when I played battlefield 2 a couple years ago.

So to try and solve this I went and lowered all of the gfx settings. After this didn't work I finally realized I should go into single player and see if the problems persisted. They did not. This told me that the issue was online related. The problem is that my ping is about 95 which shouldn't be causing these problems.

I did some port fowarding for Battlefield 2 but still the same problems.

It makes the game completely unplayable for me, any help?

try updating punkbuster via pb setup go to evenbalance.com

It has always been disabled.


Punk buster is already up to date (checked manually).

The issue seems to have stopped, probably my terrible ISP..

I logged back in today and the problem is back...

whats your download speed? Speedtest.net - The Global Broadband Speed Test

one thing you can do to help is to change your punkbuster settings

load PR

open ingame console (`)

type

pb_sleep 300

pb_writecfg

this will decrease your network traffic a little bit when playing, every 300 seconds PB will communicate with the PB server, instead of every 30seconds

The punkbuster changes do not seem to have fixed it.

The issue does also occur in vanilla BF2. It does not happen in single player PR mod (only online).

You was connected to the ]CIA[ server last night and they have been having problems with lag spikes half way through the game. i believe their server is in Chicago, try a server that's closer to you.

It happens in any server I play in.

I'll try making a video showing what I am talking about.
