Project Reality Forums

Hey guys , first of all i would like to apologize if this is the wrong thread...

Anyway back on topic - since patch 0.97 everytime if im turned towards a city or a bunch of trees (Black gold ,Burning sands, Shija valley, Kokan...) my fps drops below 10fps... i always played on medium settings and screen resolution 1024?768 or 1280x720 and it never laged (looking back before 0.97). Lets say when im flying the chopper on burning sands , when the city comes into my view the fps drops below 20 - then when it comes fully into my view (droping crates in the city) my fps drops below 10-5.
It worked perfectly before 0.97... and the only thing i changed was the processor which was an intel pentium 1.8 dual and now i have a 3.0 ghz one.

Also one more thing that i would like to add - when i first started 0.97 i joined a training server to see if i still know how to fly and this happend: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3QZbLB6LUvA
I restarted pr and everything was fine but like i said , i started noticing lag on maps with alot of trees , citys...


Thank you for your time.

Your harddrive?

Delete the cache folder and reload the shaders... maybe that'll help... since u have the black-objects-bug.

Have you updated any drivers for your graphics-card recently? That caused massive FPS drops for me. If you have, install the old drivers again.

Also, if you post this at the "PR:BF2 Support" section instead of "General Discussion" you'll get a lot more help

cache folder and reload the shaders

I think this could be your problem as well... It may also help a little with the fps drop.

Thanks guys for the quick response!
Also i didn't get any updates for my drivers and im sorry i didnt see the support thread,
Il try the suggestions and il get back to you.

Okay , so i deleted the cache folder , and it fixed nothing :/.

I forgot to mention that i am getting these weird black spots all over the map , they are always there no matter how far away or close i am... and they change position everytime i move my mouse.

What graphic card do you have?

I would just recommend you to reinstall drivers for your graphic card (total clean reinstall, make sure to delete old files before installing drivers)

I don't know if it makes a difference but you shouldn't delete the cache folder itself, just the stuff inside the folder.. I can't remember if BF2 makes a new folder by itself (but it probably does)...

When you have deleted the content in the cache folder just try to launch vBf2 and join a MP game. Make sure it says "optimizing shaders etc...." when loading the map. If it doesn't try to set the textures to low and join again. Put it back on medium/high after the game has loaded successfully.

I have a ATI Redeon HD Series 4300/4500. Gonna try and reinstall.

What i ment was i deleted the stuff inside of the cache folder . Sorry for not pointing that out.
What do you mean by this " If it doesn't try to set the textures to low and join again"?

Il keep u posted

Have a look at this thread dude: Battlefield 2 black spots - Overclockers UK Forums... Hope it helps

Quick fix in the Catalyst AI

Thanks alot ! Gonna try and hope that fixes the black spots issue.

1go to ati catalist control panel
2 put the slider for catalist AI to advance
3 play PR

It didnt fix anything . I set the Catalyst AI to "Advanced" and its all the same(i also had to download the catalyst control panel so i could try it).Maby i need to restart my pc for the chanes to take effect?

Im still gonna try and reinstall the drivers when i find the time. Il get back to you on that

And while you're there do not use latest drivers. Lots of users reported problems with them. Use older package. Also clear your shader cache by going to My Documents>Battlefield 2>mods>bf2 and delete anything you find there.

Next time you run PR it will optimize shaders again and it should fix this issue.

Did that 2 times already :/ and this is the result of it:

I fixed the black spots glitch. I checked "Disable Catalist A.I." .
I still get lag from Cities/trees dou...when i stop being lazy and install those drivers , il report back.

Solved?

Not really since the issue that I did solve was just a side problem of this thread
