I will pay you $100(usd) to fix my BF2 mouse stutter

that got your attention didn't it? Straight up...no BS....

....no DirectX tweaks that get me banned by punkbuster....

....if it is a software issue (bios,windows registry, driver, irq conflict, format or install sequence discrepancy..etc...) i will pay you.....$100$

....if it is a jumper setting, ISP,cable modem, router, NIC, MAC, paddywhack... the dog gets a bone....one hundred of them.

....if you identify a hardware device that needs RMA...it's 100$

....if you tell me this hardware don't work with that hardware...and I remove and replace and fix stutter?...100$

....easy as that...fix the stutter...I pay you..Paypal,check, order you something online, whatever!

....tell me to reinstall video drivers or lower my vid settings again?...I'll send you 10lbs of my excrement..second day air.

just fix the stutter.....it has to be fixable....I've got video capture of the stuttering...showed it to other people.....they dont have this problem......they've got the same hardware..or some of it.

just don't tell me to buy a new computer system....that wont cut it...

anyone interested?

You say it's "mouse stutter", what color mouse pad are you using? I've had problems in the past with optical mice on blue mouse pads. Especially logitech ones. Also my friend has the G7 cordless mouse, which apparently operates on the same frequency as his wifi, 2.4ghz, so if it's cordless that could be a problem.

I am having the same exact problem, and so are a bunch of us. It has been happening for some right after 1.21 and for others after 1.22. The stutter gets so bad that it makes the game unplayable.

Ive been searching for the answer for DAYS and no one has gotten a solution!!

IF every person who has the stuttert problem could come forth, EA will hear us out !!!

Could be ram, could be corrupt files-it could be anything. My fps went down after I installed patch 1.21. Upping the ram from 1 to 2 g's didn't help. Starting with a clean, freshly formatted HD and then installing BF2, SF and then 1.21 led to success. The only problem was that my primary user-name got erased from the servers. Was this overkill? This has worked for others, others not, it did for me. Try it-what do you got to lose?

-$100 bucks I guess...

my current specs:

Asus A8n-Sli Deluxe rev.1016
Amd 3500+ Venice
2GB: Corsair XMS 3200rtPro 4x512
BFG 7900oc 512mb
seagate 7200 200gb x2 Sata RAID 0
X-fi Fatality sound card
Antec TruePower 550 TT2
Viewsonic p220f 21" crt
Logitech mx518

initially the pre-built system from ABS/Newegg came with twin 6800GTs, 1GB Ram, 1 Seagate, and Onboard Sound. (Ultimate M6 Pro)

Battlefield2 stuttered when playing infantry, mouse panning left or right...just video...not sound....not just after entering a map either....it stutters continuously throughout the game.....depending on how fast I pan left or right....will increase the size of the stutter or tear.....when fighting point blank it really hinders my ability to place rounds on target. The stuttering lightens when in vehicles but is still there....all the while running at 80+ FPS.

I have tried various resolution/ refresh rate/ and video settings....(800x600@60hz-120hz...1600x1200@60hz-85hz)

I have replaced the motherboard...I have upgraded to twin 7800GTX's.
..I have pulled/swapped ram modules, ran mem test on them for 1500%,
switched RAID controllers, reformatted
overclocked, underclocked manually or with AI Booster or BIOS auto overclocking settings
coolbitted, render ahead=0,1,2...., vsync on / off , Nvidia advanced settings: texture clamp, negative LOD, tripple buffering...all of 'em)..on or off
tried logitech 3 buttton PS/2, MS Intellimouse Explorer USB, USB Mx518
Phillips 109b 19" crt, Sony Flat Panel LCD, Viewsonic P220f 21" CRT
have disabled in Bios...USB, IDE, Ports, everything...BIOS...on/off/auto/enabled/disabled...everything
BIOS revisions 1002, 1014, 1016, 1017 beta
disabled pagefile, reinstalled, set fixed size, or let windows
TweakXP, disabled services, reinstalled
tried Nvidia drivers from 77.77 to 84.21 , tweaked drivers too...(yes..drivercleaner) nvidia profiles: general or Battlefield2
pbsleep 500, game.lockfps 999
BF2 video settings.....all LOW, drawing distance 50%...minimum resolution and refreshrate
BF2 video settings.....Ultra High, drawing distance 100% maximum res, refresh
BF2 audio...ultra high/ low, EAX enbled/disabled, VOIP enabled/disabled
Tcp/Ip optimizer settings or default.....bypass router to cable modem, speed tests

there's alot that I have forgotten too......

I have a replacement identical PSU coming this week.....

- I should try DxTweaker and see if it fixes the problem...but I read that long thread that punkbuster will kick for it?
- after swapping powersupply later this week I'll do ...RAM...and then CPU?
- I have purchased a domain..(battlefield2mousestutter.com)..lol) and have posted video capture of the stuttering...but they want me to stream it only with RealAudio...f that...I'll give you FTP pw?
- I noticed when I locked fps at 30 or 40 the stuttering changes to non-stop very tiny hitching....(unplayable...but the stuttering stopped..lol)

sackynut

04-03-2006, 02:10 AM

and no overclocking at all right, all stock settings? when did you first notice the stuttering? after which patch, or during which patch ...

also try (and only if) deleting everything in the folder in mydocument>battlefield 2>cache.
but only if the folder exists, and only if there is something IN the folder. then try playing again.

you say it stutters while it says you're getting 80fps???

I have had the same problem since 1.22, never had it before.
I seemd to have fixed it on my rig.
Asus kn8E delux
AMD 64 3200+
1 Gig ram
Nvidia Ge force 6800
and some sound card that seems to work.

I use a wireless keyboard and mouse.
I have a linksys wireless router
I use a cable ISP

I have also had connection problems that seem to be better since 1.22. I have spent a lot of time reading post like this to get advice and the bottom line is I have tried almost all of it (except buying more ram)

Here is what I have done and play is almost perfect now.
shut down all other servces (ctrl-alt-del, processes, and anything with my name other than taskmgr and explorer is gone)
turn off norton IS
turn off windows wireless zero config ( right click my computer, manage, services and applications, services, wireless zero config and choose stop, you will not loose your wireless connection until the machine goes to sleep, the just restart it)

I play with all settings on grapics high 1280X 1024 but AL off. i did check my frame rate in game and it runs about 50 fps,
you can do that by hitting ` in game and typing (exactly) "renderer.drawfps 1"
to turn this off do the same but put a 0 instead of a 1.

Your rig way, way, way out does mine. it makes me question any advice about new hardware.
I really think the problem is some resource use issue introduced in 1.22
hope it helps,
:salute:

my current specs:

Asus A8n-Sli Deluxe rev.1016
Amd 3500+ Venice
2GB: Corsair XMS 3200rtPro 4x512

seagate 7200 200gb x2 Sata RAID 0
X-fi Fatality sound card
Antec TruePower 550 TT2
Viewsonic p220f 21" crt
Logitech mx518

By the way Nvidia has new drivers out (march 16th)
also I was thinking, that system sure sounds like a power hog, I wonder if it is a power supply issue.
good luck

Given everything you have done I'm going to venture that it is a network issue. Tell us about your network. Provider? Your location? Home network? If so, what is the setup.

I suspect it is a network issue because you have basically replaced every piece of hardware, you have enough ram, etc. I'm assuming that you have done a reinstall of both Windows and the game itself.

The stuttering could very well be caused by BF trying to synch up with the server and other players. It will "lock and jump" repeatedly when it has trouble doing that as it skips forward. Are you running a home router? If so, what ports do you have open?

sackynut

04-03-2006, 04:52 AM

^ that could also be it, one reason it might display 80fps while stuttering.

by any chance, do you have nvidia firewall installed?

Bounce

04-03-2006, 11:41 AM

right...either way....overclocked or not.....stuttered right from the get go...without the first patch it stuttered....

yes...I can get 120 fps...by unlocking fps...and still get the stutter.

What applications are your running durign gameplay ? Msn ? Maybe your stuttering is due to your INTERNET CONNECTION rather than your actual PC, what type of internet connection due to have ? Wireles router ?

ok....couple more things....after setting cluster size to 128 in the nvidia raid (f10) raid setup menu when I last re-installed I am surprised to see a defrag in XP saying my cluster size is 4kb. ???

played with RAM timings today....I purchased 4x512 sticks of pc 3200 twinx 1024 xl corsair ram...with timings supposedly of 2-2-2-5....k...great....I can set those timings....unfortunately....asus motherboard wont recognize those spd timings....it auto set ram timings to 333mhtz, 2.5, 3, 3, 6...and then blah blah blah with several more timing numbers....WTF!? so there's 4 major timing numbers to change.....what about the 6 or 8 other numbers available to change that asus MB auto sets to lame timings?...I'm running the default AUTO ram timings right now...running ddr400 memory at 333mhtz....just to see if that would fix stutter...it doesn't.....and when I set the aggressive timings of this XL memory...what about the other ram timings...they just stay the same?....could that be an issue? and whats up with this extreme low latency crap anyways?!!...2-2-2-5, you can't find anything for sale right now with those timings.....or can you? and what's more is:...any timing change doesnt make a GD bit of difference in the stuttering!

side note....I re-seated my cpu fan/heatsync a couple times already....but...upon FIRST removal and wipedown, i noticed on the corners (all 4)of my amd 3500+ processor ...about 2mm towards center of chip from the outer edges:.. "wear"....like the silver paint coating of the topside of the cpu was rubbed off because of friction with the copper base plate of the Thermaltake heat sync....silver paint rubbed off and black scratches emerging....???....uneven surfacing? waaaa! (heat on cpu has never been an issue....runs coool)

and one big huge thing BTW.....people have said in another comparable large bf2 forum...that alot of people have my same issue.....that's BS.....no one would be playing this game if my issue reigned throughout the bf2 community I suspect....in fact...I'm sure of it....if you are interested....look at my frapped/movieMakered videos on my ftp site....I'll need to give you ftp access since they dont want anything but streaming realMedia....I don't know how long this ftp site will last when I spam ftp admin access...so PM me....I'll give it to you.
so what?...my next step is replace this 2gb of ram with different stuff?...what should I buy? definitely 2x1024 sticks...but what?....I'll throw 300$ at new RAM...my plan being that this rig is cursed and will never be fixed.....best to get away from it with my sanity and a continuing affection for EA and BF2....so if I can't remedy my immediate situation....I'll move my X-Fi sound Card...this new BFG 7900gtxOC....and some other "Known good" parts to another box......

maybe better to pay someone here some good money to help resolve the situ.......the cork smokers at ABS computers say.."all their other customers are not reporting this problem".....but they still continue to RMA me system wise peace-meal.....fine...I can pay fedex and ups cross country shipping....I'm getting uncomfortably close to calling this a FIVE GRAND nightmare....and that's not including "time/labor" on my part.....JFCGDMFCSSOBFknGD!!!!

1. do you stutter in any other games at all?

2. are you running the x-fi card in gaming mode while you do this? (thats something to remember)

3. are all your x-fi card drivers and motherboard drivers installed?

04-03-2006, 04:07 PM

Some more questions:
- Does it stutter in single player mode ?
- Does it only stutter with mouse movement? (e.g not when you strafe)
- Did you try a ps2 mouse?

With how much you have changed the hardware around, I would suggest doing a complete reformat+windows reinstall.
And try doing it non-RAID this time around. RAID only gave me corrupted data due to timing errors and almost no improvement in performance.

Sounds like the PCI bus is saturated, I'll bet the pagefile is the culpret...

Try running non-raid and having your pagefile on a completely seperate drive to the OS and BF2 folders, also make sure that the drives are connected to different channels on the SATA controller eg. channels 1 & 3 or 2 & 4. If that fixes your problem then donate a hundred to a childrens' charity for me.

04-06-2006, 12:45 PM

When you say you replaced your motherboard, was the mobo you replaced it with a different model?, because if so, the general consensus is that you should format your HDD and reinstall Windows, you said you've run out of instances that you can reinstall and validate XP, but can you not even validate it over the phone? (as opposed to the net) or just reinstall it (but not validate it) purely to see if reinstalling XP fixes the problem so you can then buy a new copy.

Have you tried this in single player? does the problems still happen?

Also have you had your ISP test your line quality out? Also modems go bad it happened to me.
Tried any tracerts to bf2 servers?
Also see if QoS packet scheduler is checked in your local connection properties. If it is uncheck it.
Also someone mentioned about PB have you manually updated Punkbuster?

I had similar probs and it was that QoS in my net properties giving me grief.

Man i hate that you have done all this stuff and having these problems. Has this happened since you have been playing or did it happen with a certain patch?

I liked this idea when I read it, that it might be a page file issue except for the fact that with two gigs you have more than enough to run BF2 completely in ram. If the page file was an issue it would be intermittent. That said, don't worry about putting it on another drive, but do make sure that you set it relative to your amount of physical ram...minimum should be 50% of physical ram and max should be at least 150%.

If you have run out of activations on XP Prof, you can call Microsoft and have them reset it for you. Basically XP's activation lock kicked in when you changed too much hardware (assume you had an OEM copy of XP), and then you activated twice within two months. The activation schema is to prevent mass proliferation of a registered serial number. If you call they will reset it for you.

All in all, I would part the sucker out and start from scratch, or at least with your known good parts.

He's right... call Microsoft and they will get you fixed with new license code. The PCI saturated idea someone posted is an okay guess but that isn't your issue. Having pagfile on different HD won't fix it either. What about the billion other installs with one HD running much dumpier systems than yours and they run just fine? It isn't the pagefile location. Don't waste your time.

I knew PSU, RAM (and pro chip for that matter) wouldn't do you any good. I'm with you, I am leaning closer to a software issue but not 100% yet. That SLI mobo still bothers me. It may be an SLI design flaw or it could be something else unrelated on that mobo with a design issue. You are running SATA drives? What about taking them out and installing OS on a plain IDE HD?

Good call. There are a LOT of people out there with SLI headaches, for various reasons, and you could be one of them. That and RAID are in my mind the two main suspects. Outside of those two I really don't see too much left over that could be the cause of it, given that you've basically replaced everything and done a clean install.

Just to confirm, have you ever had BF2 playing well in your house using your current internet connection/provider? Despite what you have done between your machine and the modem, there is a ton of stuff that go wrong between you and the main trunk that would not show up in less demanding activity like simple web browsing.

I was having some stutter and other problems. I took an unused 80g HD and did a minimal install of XP, network software, BF2 and new patch. It fixed it so much that I can increase my BF2 video (6600 card) settings from low to med on 32/64 maps. In single I can almost max out. I was also having IRQ conflict with DMA sharing too. Fixed that with disabling/uninstalling hardware until it got the right settings I wanted because my bios wouldn't let me choose. Now I just choose the HD I want from bios during bootup.

This may have been fixed or is old, but if it's still a problem I hope this helps!

Open the folder:

open the file videodefault.con in notepad

find the line: renderer.allowallrefreshrates 0

change the 0 to 1 and save.

Start BF2 and hopefully it helps.

Let me know if it doesn't work

I believe bf2 is having issues with SLI after the patch or something, have you installed the setpoint driver for your mx518? i had this mouse b4 i got the G5 and it worked perfect in bf2 but i had the setpoint installed? With 2 gig of ram you shouldnt need to shutdown background programmes apart from virus checkers/securities.

Im in the same boat as the thread starter, everything ive tried just wont get rid of the stutter (Except for putting the game on "Low" settings, but it looks pants and im sure my system can handle Medium). My specs are :

Windows XP SP2
AMD Sempron 3000+ (2.0 Ghz)
1Gb DDR Ram
GeForce 6600GT 128Mb DDR3
PCI Sound Card

Frame rate wise, the games just peachy at Medium, but its the god damned stutter that absolutely ruins it. For example i go to the middle flag on Daqing Oilfields and spin around and its stutter stutter stutter. Ive tried updating next to every single thing on my PC, fiddling with BIOS etc and nothing changes a single thing, it really makes me friggin hate PC's :/ The game does run smoothly on Low settings but jeezus christ it looks like crap and my PC can take better. Heck if someone could fix it, without lowering the settings, id even chuck in some cash there way. I feel for Bounce :(

Edit : Heres a video of the stutter aswell, using FRAPS. It exaggerates it abit (by about half a second each stutter), but u get the idea.

BTW, it happens in both single player and multiplayer.

I have a similar setup as yours AMD 64 3200+ and ge force 6800 128.
I had 1 gig of ram and went to 2, that fixed stutter in the game for me.

Im in the same boat as the thread starter, everything ive tried just wont get rid of the stutter (Except for putting the game on "Low" settings, but it looks pants and im sure my system can handle Medium). My specs are :

Windows XP SP2
AMD Sempron 3000+ (2.0 Ghz)
1Gb DDR Ram
GeForce 6600GT 128Mb DDR3
PCI Sound Card

Frame rate wise, the games just peachy at Medium, but its the god damned stutter that absolutely ruins it. For example i go to the middle flag on Daqing Oilfields and spin around and its stutter stutter stutter. Ive tried updating next to every single thing on my PC, fiddling with BIOS etc and nothing changes a single thing, it really makes me friggin hate PC's :/ The game does run smoothly on Low settings but jeezus christ it looks like crap and my PC can take better. Heck if someone could fix it, without lowering the settings, id even chuck in some cash there way. I feel for Bounce :(

And this ONLY happens in BF2?

First of all...update punkbuster:
http://www.evenbalance.com/index.php?page=pbsetup.php

Either run this app from anywhere and follow the directions:
PBSETUP.EXE (http://websec.evenbalance.com/downloads/windows/pbsetup.exe)

Or copy this file to your pb subdirectory in your BF2 install dir and run it:
PBWEB.EXE (www.evenbalance.com/downloads/pbweb.exe)

Then, if that doesn't work:

update to the latest drivers for your monitor HERE (http://www.viewsonic.com/support/drivers/download.cfm?key=37)
delete your BF2 settings (delete contents of ..\My Documents\Battlefield 2)
start up BF2

This is usually caused by:

A: Running a Geforce 6 Series card with an nForce motherboard. Maybe 7 series too, but I don't have experience with those.

B: Faulty or underpowered PSU.

C. Faulty GPU.

I had massive stutter on BF 2 and Joint OPs on my GeForce 6800 Ultra running on an nVidia mobo. Eventually it just stopped. It could have been a driver or bios update. It was still there every once in a while until I upgraded to a good PSU.

okay faulty or underpowered PSU would either TOTTALy downclock it, or not do much at all until it died.

faulty GPU would artifact, or not work at all, it wouldnt "sutter" and give low fps.

and lastly, the 6 series card is MEANT TO BE USED on the nforce chipset. I dont know where in gods name you heard that. and if you are coming to this conclusion based on the use of your 6800, you cant base ALL OF THOSE statements you just made off of one friggin bad experience with one card.

I had the same problem once. I couldn't go to certain parts of a map because my mouse would stutter. However if I stayed away from that base and looked anywhere but north I would be ok. I never really fixed it. I had to use official nvidia drivers and each time I ran bf2 I had to clean out a certain folder in My Documents>Battlefield 2 so that it said optimizing every single time I played....

Im on a ASRock SIS Chipset motherboard, and i recently replaced the PSU with a more beefier one so i highly doubt its that (Same stuff happened on last 1 anyway).

OG, dont listen to him, nothin he said really makes real sense and he is judging these claims (i think) off of one experience with one card.

Well well well, ive had a bit of a revelation. Heres the story.....

I have an ASRock K7S41GX motherboard using a SiS chipset.

When i first got this computer, i noticed my FPS was a bit naff throughout all my games, which i rectified by going on the SiS website and downloading the latest AGP GART Drivers. FPS back to normal levels etc. Ive been using it ever since.

Now today, i decide "feck it, lets try uninstalling it and seing if it resolves this god damned stutter". And low n behold ? It does, clean as a whistle, i was gobsmacked. However, all the problems i have with FPS is back and games like FEAR/HL2 & Battlefield 2 (Stutter free, but the frame rate goes BLERH) run really nasty.

So really...........WTF !? Is there ANYTHING i can do to have this damn system running like it should ? :(
