just recently i have been getting kicked for high ping , its strange because i can play any other pr server and not have this problem including the other aussie ones , any ideas ?

Under water cable's between AUS and NZ are usually the cause of these problems mate. I remember last time about a year ago one got taken out for some reason and pretty much all of the NZ players copped it sweet till it was fixed.

i have been kicked for high ping in the last week around the nets peek time.

 

and download loading ArmA2 from gamingSA is to slow to use, only 70k. i was getting it from overseas and i could get it a 250-300k

i get kicked for king problems 5 times a day On average

Strangely enough, last night my ping was at an all time low of 88ms.

 

Compared to usual 97+.

saw this on the PR forums, you could give it a try.

 

Second part applies to you guys

Hello

 

Ive just compiled a few tips on how to make your game run a lot better. It may even give you the extra boost that you need to run on full graphics.

 

Back to Basics

FPS or Frames Per Second is the speed at which your game runs. A higher fps is a better speed game. For example 1 fps would literally be like a slideshow weather fps capped off at 125 fps or if you have an even better computer 250 fps your game would be speedy and smooth. To have a good FPS you will want a constant one. Higher isnt always better. If your computer cannot handle a constant 250 fps which would mean it was inbetween 200and 250 all the time that would be bad. It would slow down, also you cant jump as far if your fps isnt constant. So lets say your computer can with-hold a constant 125 fps. To cap it at 125 in the BF2 Console you need to type "game.lockfps 125" (without the "").

Now press enter to send the command to BF2 console and now your FPS is capped at 125.

You can see what your fps currently is running at by again opening the console, and typing "renderer.drawfps 1" to turn the FPS counter off type "renderer.drawfps 0"

 

Just cant get Enough FPS

If you want to raise your FPS if only by 10 Frames then there is a secret way. Start BF2 then open Project Reality mod etc. Now your on your Main Screen in PR. "Alt + Tab" to temporarly close BF2 window then press "Control+ Alt + delete" to open your Task Manager. Once open click "Processes" then if you look through the list that comes of what your computer is currently running, you will eventually see "BF2.exe". If you right click on "BF2.exe" then move your mouse to "Set Priority" then click on "High" under the Set priority option. then close Task manager and go play! your fps will have increased for some people under 10 fps more for others over 50more.

 

Get a better MS Rate (Ping) to Game Servers

PLEASE UNDER 18'S ASK PARENTS PERMISSION BEFORE DOING THIS

What I am about to tell you is not only going to improve you ping/ms rate but it will also increase your overall internet speed. This is probly best for people over 18 to do, if your not then you should ask your parents permission first please. What you need to do is to call your ISP (internet service provider) for example BT Internet. You call your ISP and you ask the operator "Please can you turn Interleaving OFFon my internet please".

Now I know for a fact that BT Internet cannot say no. But some other companies might. This is perfectly legal all they are doing is changing your current line and putting it on a fast track. It will take a couple of days to turn on usually, so its not instant but they normally give you and ETA as to when it will be done. Believe me, you will notice the difference. Before I didnt ask for my interleaving to be turned off I have 49/55 ping to UK servers (where i live). Now I ping 21 to 31!!! A massive improvement.

 

 

 

So hopefully this will help you and your game run better

 

Please feel free to question me (Joe) by replying to this post or PM'ing me. Have Fun !

the problem here is we have good pings for nz to aus but are receiving huge spikes at random intervals . i think vis nailed it , cables probably been tampered with .

Say NO to High Pings !!

 

i sit nicly on 30 - 40 so am happy

Well, I get good pings when my brother isn't at home at least.

 

It's then mentality - I'm older, so I'm allowed to stream 5 youtube tabs + facebook + email whilst you get diddlysquat.

Jump in and set up QoS to deprioritize port 80 and prioritize port (BF2's)

Can you show me how to do it?
