June 23, 200520 yr Well, I was hoping EA wouldn't be so stupid, but they failed me once again Apprently, you're not allowed to have the same name or e-mail as someone else, that's ok, but the same password? That's silly. Oh, and when you delete your account (like, when I deleted my demo account) apprently you've wasted your one use of your username, password, and e-mail. ANNNND, only 2 days after release (not even) <TAC>Caste, <TAC>Caste. and <TAC>.Caste apprently are already used up 'That uniquenick is already in use' hmm...right EDIT: Well, I had to settle on <TAC>Caste1, my parents e-mail, and a totally obsurce password which I'll forget by the weekend. Please fix this EA.
June 23, 200520 yr along with that, the teammate bug still exists, i killed my teammate earlier because his name was red. a patch is desperately needed.
June 23, 200520 yr along with that, the teammate bug still exists, i killed my teammate earlier because his name was red. a patch is desperately needed. I don't have the game yet... but it already needs a patch? Good job EA. Why can't they release finished products or as close to it as possible. Name color bug? Come on, that should have been spotted by them months ago. Passwords can't be the same either? Wow.
June 23, 200520 yr EA has problems! its not that bad Guys... Ahh Stupid lag ahh EA sux!!! laggg ahhh!
June 23, 200520 yr well, i was playing on ranked servers to see how they were. do not play on any 64 player ranked servers, the lag is unbearable. 16 & 32 palyer servers are fine but not 64.
June 23, 200520 yr Passwords can't be the same either? Wow. Passwords CAN be the same... the e-mail and username thing is actually good. so you don't see two people of the same name and get confused. I, myself, and alot of other people have never seen the colour tag bug.. but ohwell.
June 23, 200520 yr It was interesting when I chose my Username and password, then was told eather my email doesn't exist, or that it was already in use....I am surprised that someone chose my email address. So I chose an alternate one I have, I think I typed it right.
June 23, 200520 yr Author I think there is a problem with 64 player servers I tried playing on our own, and on some others, and the lag makes it unplayable, which is REALLY ticking me off because I want to play on the armory, but can't
June 23, 200520 yr We played on the Armory 64 player server most of the night last night. Was completely lag free?? I'm wondering if the problems people are having on 64 player servers are client side problems? I can assure you though, the Armory server was lag free. TFD

I'm wondering if the problems people are having on 64 player servers are client side problems? I can assure you though, the Armory server was lag free. TFD well it's not just The Armory, loads of 64 player servers (even ones located near me, like Montreal and Halifax servers) are super high pingbut 32 and 16 servers are ok, also, singleplayer runs lag free, so I'm beginning to think it's something with the 64 player netcode
June 23, 200520 yr im so angry none of the stats are showing up, and i've been playing since like 9 this morning. maybe there are just set times like at night when it updates your stats, because it updated mine last night.
June 23, 200520 yr Author I don't know if it's me or the server or what, but when I join a server that says I have 47 ping, I get 'You have a problem with your connection' every 10 seconds, it's disgusting, and I'm close to ripping out my hair. Buy this game and I can't even play it. They better release a patch soon
June 23, 200520 yr If you had that account name in the demo Caste, you need to retreive it because apparently they carried the accounts over. I had to do that with mine.
June 23, 200520 yr Passwords CAN be the same... the e-mail and username thing is actually good. so you don't see two people of the same name and get confused. I, myself, and alot of other people have never seen the colour tag bug.. but ohwell. because your going to run into someone with a slightly similar name out of thousands of servers and players. the color name bug does exist, which is another reason it should have stayed how it was in bfv, axis is red allies are blue.
June 23, 200520 yr Author which is another reason it should have stayed how it was in bfv, axis is red allies are blue. whoa whoa, there were axis and allies in Battlefield: Vietnam?
June 24, 200520 yr you know, the good guys and bad guys, its just a lot easier to call them axis and allies
June 24, 200520 yr Well all I can say is at least I don't have any of these problems because I didn't waste my money on buying BF2 since it won't work with my win98se. And there is no way I'm buying xp just to play one game that will give me nothing but problems. Like the rest of you who are having problems. But what do you expect from EA they're assuming everyones' computers are fully upgraded and able to play their high demanding game. This takes me to my philosophy of assuming: Assuming leads to trouble, never assume anything. And EA is a prime example of my philosophy of assuming. Go Figure.
June 24, 200520 yr Our 64 player is lag free. Like said by TDF2001. Mostlikely Client side. It is probably your ISP, how many hops from you to the server, Your amount of memory. What videocard. Etc Etc. If you are getting "LAG" Before you blame the server or anyones server. Drop your Resolution from 1024x768 to 800x600 or similar and Toggle off EAX in your Audio. If this doesn't work. Then lower Textures and Geometry. If this does not work. Drop view distance to 80%. If this does not work. Get a new Computer.
June 24, 200520 yr thanks god im not getting the game yet, but ill be getting a better comp...just dont know when yet

Get a new Computer. not blaming the server- just sayin it lags too much on ours for whatever reason
June 24, 200520 yr My computer is "modest". I run a 1.66 ghz AMD processor with a new Audigy 2 Sound card and a Radeon X700 Vid card. The game performs fairly well on maps with 20-30 player count maps on the following settings. Sound - Hardware Acc, with Medium Quality and EAX on (will probably turn EAX off for better FPS) Video - 800X600 with a low Refresh rate, Medium settings across the board with Dynamic Lighting, Shadows, and one other feature I really don't need turned off. Only time I start to "chug" on my framerates is in intense battles with an estimation of about 20 peaple or more in the immediate area. My choke is oviously on the processor. I haven't seen the name tag bug in the retail release of the game, but I did see it in the demo.
June 24, 200520 yr Thanks for the info Mr Roach. Might want to try 800x600 at 85 hz. That is is your monitor can do it. I would agree with your processor tho. With 64 players running around. Your system has a lot to do.
June 24, 200520 yr yeah, im not going to get this game till around the time i get a new computer. My laptop struggled to carry along on the very lowest settings, and i dont want to get another game that hardly runs.

Either spend 3 grand on a new "gaming laptop" or drop $500 on a system that can run BF2 decently.
