BF2 - lag problems

[TheNiceGuy]

I think its a great game, but let me tell you this is irritating.
Since the last patch, I am frequently getting disconnected from servers. Also, when it does stick, I am getting bizzare dynamics problems. While playing the view will suddenly jump about 45 degrees or so, making play impossible. This is with a ping of 63.
I am at a loss at what to do and pretty irritated after wasting hours trying to sort it out.

Any help appreciated.

It seems the most recent patch is causing problems with disconnects. I think it causes problems to the server so the server goes down and must restart before you can reconnect. So when you get the 'there is a problem with your connection', so is everyone else. I don't think it'll ever come back if the server is actually the case, you'll have to quit and re-join or find a new one.

I'm not positive on this but it seems a lot of servers have a game msg with something to the effect that bear with us on the new patch and disconnects.

Because yeah, I get the same thing sometimes, and I've never gotten it previous to the most recent patch.

I get that jerky view sometimes too. It looks and feels like network lag but I'm the same as you with a low ping.

While it doesn't feel like sluggish performance due to my hardware, it could be, but it doesn't do this all the time. One game I could play absolutely smoothly and then I could play later that day and it would be choppy.

No clue on why it does that, fortunately it does it less often than not.

It's been a full year since release, right ?

I have heard that the cause of the issue is the last patch. People that did not download the FULL patch are causing the server to crash. I play on a server that has a message that pops up asking everyone to download the full patch and install that. Not sure if that is the real cause of the problem or not, but I went ahead and downloaded the full patch.
