Any of you guys able to help me with a problem?
Copied below...
My problem: I can load Battlefield 2: Special Forces pretty fast but when I try connecting to a server it takes over 5 minutes for the loading bar to reach 100%. Once the bar is at 100% and it says something about "Talking to server" or similar the "Join Game" button does not appear at the bottom right of the screen. I can leave it for 15+ minutes to see if loading time takes a wee bit longer but nothing. Cannot even Alt+TAB or Task Manager out.
Here are my system specs...
Intel Pentium D 820 2.8GHz Dual Core Processor
2048Mb (2x1024Mb) Dual Channel DDR Memory
256Mb ATi Radeon X800 GTO
200Gb Maxtor DiamondMax10 S-ATA 8Mb Cache Hard Drive
NEC ND3550 16x+R 16x-R Dual Layer DVD Writer
I have been reading about setting 'Affinity' to 1 CPU (CPU0 or CPU1) but makes no difference. I have set everything to "Low" - no difference. Have downloaded latest Graphics and Motherboard drivers... no change...
Any Techys out there able to help? I might be doing something blindingly obvious...
My thanks in advance!
