Multiplayer Lag?

[Medic 1-37]

Whenever I create a server to play with my friend, he experiences massive rubber banding issues, and vice versa, when he creates a server. Our ping is usually around 50-100. I have an expensive PC so i usually host our sessions but the lag is unbearable. It didnt do this when we started playing together. Any advice?

There is nothing you can do with the Steam version, it lags like hell because the new/current version has a different netcode which is complete garbage. It will always lag bad for anyone who isn't the host.

If you want to play BF2 multiplayer and make it stable, you have to downgrade the game to the old version then install the SWBFspy mod, and anyone else who wants to join the session also needs to do that.

What is SWBFspy? it's a community made and hosted master server that replaces the old GameSpy functionality in the old game version/files.

With SWBFspy, you can install and run the original dedicated server manager and anyone who joins will have much more stability.

You can get the SWBFspy downgrader/installer from the people who made/host it from swbfgamers.com - account required but it's free.

Complete Nonsense. The original "SWBF2SM" is a legit program created by a studio named "Black Bag Ops" (now defunct) officially licensed by LucasArts. Thousands of people were using that program for years and years and some very few people still are using it (through SWBFspy).
