Battlefield 2 (PC) Multiplayer Lag Help Request

This is a problem I've had for 2 years now. I even stopped playing the game because of it. I'm not going to bother uploading my pc stats because I've seen this problem on more than one computer. The pc that I'm using currently does have up-to-date drivers and more than enough hardware to push this game on max settings. I am running the game over a 5 mbps cable connection and I've tried bypassing the router on more than one occasion.

The issue only occurs in multiplayer games (regardless of video settings and player count) and my punkbuster is up-to-date.

I tried working with EA tech support on this but they had no answers for me.

ps. The examples that I posted aren't the only symptoms for this issue, they're just the easiest to point out.

There is an issue with AMD Dual Core processors, causing increasing lag and finally connection lost.

You have to assign only a sinlge core instead of two.

To do that start the task manager select 'processes' -> righ click on bf2.exe-> set belonging and unselect a core (no matter which one).

Hope it helps

EA online just sucks, every EA battlefield game(including the consoles) has this problem, eventually, EA will fix it, but it takes for ever---They don't have dedicated servers.

look to your ping go to a horrible bad ping game go get kicked by the server kicker for the lag and see your average ping find a game with the same ping number and play there wil be always a little bit of lag but you need ignore that you, don't need that little lag get mad i do have little bit of but i am ignore that just

@Gimbogehirn Didn't work unfortunately. IDK what my problem is. i gave up :/

[Gimbogehirn]

@gabrocki I guess it will, as it helped SethMcCoy and me. Just try it out and look if it becomes better for you.

@Gimbogehirn I have an AMD Athlon x2 6000+ and I do experience lag, but not FPS lag. It appears to be a connection problem BUT my download speed is 45Mbps and i have no problems in other games....

Should that method work for me?

Thanks in advance

I tried to set off one core and switch more memory priority for battlefield 2 but it does not help. Fuck that. I tried everything i know. Set low details, switch off unnecesarry processes, turn off firewall, but does not help.
