Game Stuttering !!

[Fatal-M]

hello fellow gamers and soldiers

what i hate the most when playing PR is the game stuttering ! i get normal pings so the problem is from my pc !
got a gd pc ! buying a new very soon !

so from what i heard is that to get the best performance i have to hard format my Hard-Disk ! so i need to get it done with with this problem until i get the new computer ! cuz sometimes for example at the al burj , i gotta a black hawk , driving fellow players to west and east and in the city , on my way the game stutters and i lose control and there it is ! heli crashes and guys think im a noob lol

so any helpful suggestions ?

stuttering is usually casused by not enough ram. so get more ram!

all i can say is if u dont have 2gb or higher of ram, keep textures setting set to medium or lower

Check to see if any background programs are running. Possibly turn those off, so your computer is focusing more on BF2 and less on something else.

Could also be that your settings are too high for your card. Are you getting a bad FPS, or just occasional stuttering?

Hit tidle key "~" and type "renderer.drawfps 1" to show your in-game FPS.

From there you can normally tell if its RAM related, or if its GFX card related.

[R-DEV]GrayeKnight, done those before i got from the drawfps from what i recall ! FPS : was 45 or smth near that CPU usage : 20 or 25 and above .....

as for ConscriptVirus reminded me of the settings in PR so ill lower those babies and see what happens


thanks again guys , much appreciated .

run your game resolution same or near as desktop resolution. then start turning graphics options down, bit by bit until you get a balance.

Here are a couple of ideas for freeing up RAM:

1. Lower your resolution. I would take MrD's reccomendation a step further, and drop it below your montitor's native res. Before I bought more RAM, I had the same stuttering problem. I changed my resoluition from 1440x900 to 1280x800. Worked like a charm. I think you significantly reduce the amount of information that your RAM must process when you drop below your monitor's native res. Obviously you will take a hit on picture quality, but you just can't have it all.

2. Check out this BF2 tweak guide: TweakGuides.com - Battlefield 2 Tweak Guide. Some graphics settings have more of an impact on the overall appearance of your game, and this guide gives some good insight as to what you can change.

3. Use a program like FSAutoStart to automatically shutdown background programs and services before you start your game, and automatically restart them after you're done. I used to recommend using a batch file to do this, but FSAutoStart is much easier to use, and is much more effective.

I used the tilde key and renderer.drawfps 1 function to check my fps. I had two red numbers displayed seperated by "/". What do each of these numbers refer to? One was 50 to 60 and the other was about 20.

Thanks

It's FPS/latency between frames
