How to fix lag after 1.12 patch

[Ranger]

Found this in another forum...Cannot comment on whether it works.

After you apply the 1.12 patch do this, some people experience lag, even though there pings are good. Its a corruption of you game files after patching.

It is your game, now the easy fix is to go to 2 folders:

My Documents\Battlefield 2\mods\bf2\cache

My Documents\Battlefield 2\mods\xpack\cache


In these folders there will be 1 or more folders, delete all these folders under cache. The folders will look like this:

{D7B71E2-0208-11-976E-8C00A1C2CB35}_2554_2

Now restart your game, you will optimize shaders again, and the lag should be gone.

MAybe someone might be brave enough to try this and comment?

Found the same comment a while back somewhere else (before SF came out). It certainly fixed several issues I was having with framerates and freezing every few seconds. Adding another gig of RAM (to take my total up to 2) also fixed the problems I was having with being dropped (even from standard BF2) from the map a few seconds after loading in, and having to reload for it to let me in properly.

I generally now do it every time I change any display settings, even if it doesn't specify it'll have to reoptimise. Now i've found a good set of settings I don't change it any more, to be honest.
