Possible Lag Fix

[[AK]Nuts]

Hey... I heard a rumor and gave it a try:

It seems that there was a major upgrade to punkbuster that occured after BF2 was published. So when you're on a server, you PB may be trying to update thus resulting in a good ping to the server but lag while in game.

I update my punkbuster by downloading THIS FILE and then copy the .exe to <drive>:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\pb. Then run it. It will connect and download the updates you need and install them.

I connected to an ECG BF2 Ranked server and I was lag free. However, most everyone else was still skipping around the screen... so it'll take a while for everyone to get it.

This may not be the cure, but it looks promising.

This is another known issue with regards to PunkBuster not auto-updating as it should.

If this problem is widespread we'll post a full set of instructions on how to manually update on Monday. Meanwhile we have fed this information in to the team.
