Battlefield 2 movement lag on single player

[Mingon]

Just started playing battlefield 2 on my laptop (pm 2.13/6600 1.25gb) and whilst it runs ok (1024x768 / medium = 60fps) every now and again the movement goes of on one. It seems to be lagging in that it will carry on running forward after I have stopped pressing forward and can take 5secs+ to catch up.

Anyone know why?

decrease some of the graphics options to low. if that doesn't help, make sure your pagefile min/max sizes are equal. do either of these help?

I have a P-M laptop at 1.86 GHz and 1.25GB and a go6800 and I play on everything high except texture and lighting on medium, with a res of 1280x900. I don't get any lag in single player and only some on the 64 player MP servers, but I think that's due to my internet connection dropping to very slow connections sometimes (it's shoddy).

Anyways, it might be your graphics card? Don't know. Is Vsync off?

So now i have 2gb installed, uninstalled then reinstalled and new patch applied and its still doing it, I will run for say a short distance and it will carry on running even when I stop pressing forward.

Oddly enough I experienced the same thing. I was testing "standard" audio acceleration and that's what caused it. Under full acceleration it worked fine.

Are your drivers up to date?

Thanks Thera, changed it from hardware back to software and all fixed.

Never use hardware audio unless you actually have hardware audio... IE Audigy2 ZS etc. Other wise it just uses all your CPU up.

i heard even those using an audigy2 need this setting set to "software" as well, and that the hardware setting is only in there for the next line of Creative cards (X-Fi).

The Audigy works great on hardware sound and high settings. Xfi will also enable hardware but it adds the "very high" setting.
