hi ping on bf2

[whataboutbob?]

anybody have this problem after using the no-cd fixed image? after loading w/ the no-cd fixed image #2, my ping would shoot up to over 300 after just a few seconds. anybody think the no-cd caused this?

also, the only reason im using this is cause my dvd drive screwed up on me and im waiting for hp to ship me a new one. anybody got any recommendations as to which file to d'load to get bf2 to run smoothly until i get my new drive?

Bad net conn at the time?

Bad server lag?

Lots of other things can contribute to your ping amount.

update punkbuster manually using pbweb.exe

I use the MiniImage by BLeH! and have a ping under 100 !!!

I'm using JMT mini image and see pings starting at 30ms. I play 95% on ranked servers so maybe theres a factor.

You got to remember, we are paying beta testers for EA despite their self-proclaimed "best support in the industry". I'll probably skip the expansion until it hits the bargain bin.

Just in case anybody cares, here is the thread discussing what may very be this exact issue:
