jamesdoc01:
i have just got a new game and it is bloody tearing my hair out with lag.......
My specs are as follows

Windows XP Home Edition (5.01.2600 Service Pack 2
Intel(R) Pentium(R) D CPU 2.80GHz
NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT 256 mb
Maxtor 6V160E0 140 gig
If any other info in the PC specs are required please let me know.........

The game is battlefield 2 Complete collection. I do also use battlefield 2142 and do not have the same problems.
Any help in this matter would be fantastic.
I would like to thank all who take the time to read this post as i know it might not be the posting that goes on this site.
Thanks  jamesdoc01

You can try to identify the host for online play and tracert it, but this will only identify the lagging hop (if indeed it is a hop) and will do nothing to mitigate the problem. It has been known to improve your latency during online gameplay by setting your TcpAckFrquency to 1 but the benefit is minimal and will likely have little effect on such high latency as you are experiencing.

Do you get the same lag if you play single player or host your own server?

jamesdoc01:
Thanks for the response.
To answer your question No i don't get lag if i play single player.
Not hosted my own server, i don't seem to get as bad a lag when playing 2142 so it seems to have stumped me..... I will try your suggestion about setting the TCPACKFREQUENCY to 1. Post the response in this soon......

1. Does it matter what server you connect to?
2. What's your ping in the server list?

If your ping is low, and it's consistently a problem no matter what server you connect to, I'd say your problem is on your end... what other software do you have running?
