Help Please

[[TiG]ABE]

Ok i now know that bfv is the problem with my ping.


for sum reason it can be 200-300+ or drop down to 50 at times
(i dnt no why this started happening i just came out of the blue)
i am not downloading anything this has been goin on for near 2 months or so.

strange think is i can play bf2 with a steady ping of 50 all the time.
so it must be a problem with bfv

can someone please help me fix this as i dnt have a clue what to do with routers and that stuff.

i dnt want to have to play bf2 all the time and am starting to just give up with the game that we love so much :mrgreen:

Theres a few things we could check for.  It could be punkbuster, so I'd delete that and reinstall.  Your also on a wireless conn so could be that, also could your hd may need defragged.  Are you on Vista?  I was playing BFV on vista on the XPS1730 here and got constant lag problems because of wireless.  Have you anyone there who could run a bit of Cat5 for you?  If not then maybe a few of us could do a road trip and get you sorted.

on xp
and done a defrag last nite.
reinstalled punkbuster and updated it

Hi Abe id be reinstalling BFV at this stage mate.

try the tig server for 30 mins and see if your ping spikes and fluctuates?

check continuous pings in DOS to the IPs of the servers you're having the problem with.

as already advised, completely uninstall and reinstall.

check your firewall is totally turned off when testing, (windows, software and hardware firewalls)

[[TiG]ABE]

ok

ive moved the pc downstairs and is now connected using the network cable
firewalls all turned off on pc and on the router

and am still getting the high pings.

going to do a system restore to see if that changes anything at all.

[[GIT]Fairy]

OK so its not wireless.  Checked firewalls etc as Lucutus indicated?

[[TiG]ABE]

i turned all the firewalls off , in last post^^^


does system restore and still no joy.

sumthing to do with my isp then?

[[TiG]Lucutus]

post a screenie of a continuous ping to a server you have trouble with on here.

ping <ip addy> -t

then post a screenie of a tracert

tracert <ip addy>

had a few jumps to 300 about 4 in total later on down the list.
was playing all last nite fine and up to  say 3-5 2day with 48ping  nows its shot up to 200-300 jumping all round the show.

also done a full reinstall of bfv and still no change.  :|
