"Right, BF2"

Considering getting this one, have a couple of questions first to ease my troubled mind.

Is it subscription based, like WoW?
Have they sorted out out that awful unwieldy menu system?
Does Xfire work with it yet?

Cheers

*slow clap*
Thanks Demo-Boy

I ask a few simple questions and shitwits insist on not answering with the exception of a couple of people.

Tiltawhirl speaks the truth.

If you continue to get problems with the game, try downloading the latest redeon drivers from ATi, it seems to fix some of the problems the radeon cards had with the game, and in fact seemed to have fixed the problems I've been having for the past few weeks.

If your sound is still doing the stuttery thing, go to audio and change it from hardware to software.
or vice versa, I forget

Out of interest, what settings are you people playing it on?
I'm running a 2.4ghz, 1gig ram 9800 Pro card and it's laggy as I've never experienced.
It can blast through Far Cry with setting on ultra-high, WoW on highest, Doom on high.
Yet this thing lags like a monster. Even though my ping is 20-30, it's pause-pause-move-pause with settings on medium except textures high, effects high, lighting high.

Any suggestions as to how to improve, because this is goddamn unplayable like this.

5.8?
Yup, installed them before the game.
I've not experienced juddery lag like this since dialup days, on a 32player map.

Do you get a thing where when you run or walk, your character will jitter around like a crippled breakdancer?

If so, I can only think that it's because your fps is too low. I'm curious, do you use the dynamic lighting, and the other dynamic thing, can't remember what it is though. I'd turn them off if you do, or at least to low. They don't seem to make much difference and they cripple you like nothing else, especially on a shader limited card like a 9800.

Edit: but i might be talking horsecrap

Sounds like you're trying to squeeze your system too tight. Turn them all off or to low,and things should improve. Told you it was your 9800!
