Topic: Game or server lag?

Well, I've been enjoying the BF2142 demo for the past week, however, I've noticed some minor technical errors which have been disrupting my game. Those errors, namely, lag. Now, honestly, I don't think it's my system (AMD3800+, ATi X800PRO), but, I could be mistaken. For most of the game I can run fine on all full (except for dynamic shadows/light), but, sometimes I experience minor spurts of lag. This generally happens when I spawn in a mobile transport. I've heard some rumors about the servers being a little buggy, is this true? But, okay,  my real question is, what is causing these sporadic lag bursts?

Help is appreciated, thanks.

P.S: Why is there no option for 1280X1024 resolution? I run almost all my games on 1280X1024; it is disappointing to not have it as an option.

lol.... hey potato, I don't know why the you are getting lag, but it is either because of the Titans or there is a bug.  Remember, EA can't patch the demo... they can care less about the demo.  I think a patch fixed the resolution problem.  Good luck Potato! smile

I don't know, but I tried playing with un-co on an aussie server and it was running perfectly fine (it kicked me for high ping though).

You were playing with me yikes you should have said "hi", I thought I saw you. I tried to play with Red the otherday but the autobalnce kicked me off his team.


Ping doesn't make basically make much of  a difference. It just means your bullets are prone to go through people...
