Since I know I'm not the only one that is having 'fun' getting Battlefield 2 to run for more than one hour, let?s hear what other issues you guy's have found and ways to fix them until EA gets around to fixing it themselves.
I will try to update this as much as I can, and I will also mark fixes that work with a **Confirmed** above it so that you will know more that one guy has tried it.

1. Ranked severs seem to lag a great deal more than non-ranked.
Fix: None yet
2. Battlefield 2 doesn?t like most CD emulation software.
Fix: try updating your software to the latest version or disable the software. This may also help

1. By turning off dynamic lighting and shadows you can free up a lot more RAM I have found, and one thing this game loves is to use up ALL of your RAM (I have 1Gig and it still has to use a page file now and then). I don?t really miss the nifty lighting, mainly because the game is not running at -5 FPS (and not crashing).
2. Turn off or configure any firewall software you may he running in the background. Also turn off any Anti-virus software you may have.
3. 32 player sever may be a better option for those that don't have more than 1gig of Ram.

1. After firing a RPG continue to hold fire and you can steer the missile to your target.
2. RPG?s can also be used on helicopters. Two well placed missiles on most choppers can bring them down or make the driver retreat or bail.
3. When you get locked in a battle with some one face to face and you both run out of ammo at the same time, don?t play the reloading game. Pull out your hand gun and pop the S.O.B before he even has a chance to fight back. You my think this is common sense but I can?t tell you how may guys I kill this way.
4. If you are in air to air combat and get a lock on some one, keep your lock on him but wait to fire until after he has freaked out and fired his counter measures. Now he has no way of avoiding your missiles, get a good lock on him and put two right up his arse!
