Very weird BFBC lag issue...

[TheNiceGuy]

Hi all. Since 2 days ago, my tight-as-a-drum's BFBC has been acting really weird.
Very weird issue. Game menu opens as normal. But as soon as I open the Multiplayer Browser menu, everything gets like molasses. As I move the mouse over available servers, there's a delay for it to highlight them. If I enter a server to play, the lag continues. Maybe like 2 FPS. Same for all servers, all areas. My PING is all over the place like a yoyo, servers that always give me under 50 are bouncing between 200-600. Unplayable.
Just started 2 days ago.
No hardware or software changes of any kind on my end, with the exception of the EA Download Manager.


Any ideas?

Thanks in adavnce!

Not to be a jerk or anything, but probably not a good idea to start a new thread asking the same question you just asked in the stickied thread...jus saying.

As far as your issue, I've never had this problem or heard of someone else experiencing this. My guess would be related to...

No hardware or software changes of any kind on my end, with the exception of the EA Download Manager.

Obvious next step would be to roll back the update (if that's what you did) or uninstall it completely.

Hmmm, that post got landslided in that thread already once. No responses due to volume.
As for roll-back, if I do that I don't think it will let me play.

What did you actually update? The game or EA download manager?

I would uninstall EA download manager, kill power to my modem and router and then power them back up and start over.

*FIXED*

Thanks for your help all. I ran CCcleaner and double checked firewall. No difference. Restarted today, and was working fine. I either made a notable change and forgot to restart, or it is a mystery. Either way,

thank you for the interest!
