Insane Lag and High Ping when hosting my game

Hello fellow Battlefield 2 players.

I got a question; I installed BFStatistics, got a local server to run as per instructions, connecting to it but it has insane ping and lag even though its nothing but bots. Is there a way to fix this?

 

Hi SECVTOR,

Did you import the BOT names into the player Database? When one or more BOT names are not in the DB, it will cause lag.

 

No, I haven't; how is that done? I play with AIX 2.0 which has new bot names too so this could be my solution.

Thank you for replying.

 

You should use the import function of BF2Statistics and select the file "BotNames.ai" to import.
You can find this file in your mods folder. For example \mods\AIX2\AI\BotNames.ai

 

Thank you, I've done that and the server's up but now, I got a new problem; upon trying to join on Battlefield 2 Vanilla I get YOU HAVE BEEN BANNED FROM THE SERVER AS A RESULT OF EXCESS TEAMKILLING/SUCCESSFUL VOTEKICK. I read that this can be due to the copy being illegitimate but its a copy from Lost-Soldiers as supplied by Shark. I did the random key thing on BF2Hub as well; no joy. Guess its impossible.

 

Have you installed BF2Hub client and/or are you using BF2GamespyRedirector?

 

Yessir, I got BF2Hub installed AND I tried to run it from Gamespy redirector. Tried to run it from BF2Hub as well and no joy. P.S Thanks for staying with me btw

 

Is BF2Hub client fully patched? Are all sections green?
Did you try to log in to more then one server? Try First-legion.
Try changing your cd-key. Some servers are blocking vpn or proxy ip addresses.

 

Yes I did go to the key changer tab, changed the key, backed it up, updated the client to the latest version.
Not running any proxies or VPNs as I read those cause problems too.
After experimenting, I managed to run a server of HEAT OF BATTLE standalone and only problem there is that the bots are MIA; gonna try and screw with the server manager program provided here.

 

Right, Im back to square 1; no joy at all. Cant connect due to the EXCESS TEAMKILLING error. I'll say that I dont have the control center installed as the Hjaldrud guide says it conflicts with the initial set up. Everything is updated, everything is green. No VPNs or proxies are running, everything is done step by step and yet, I cant get on my own server. Did such an issue occur before? How was it fixed?

 

I think there is protection against external login. You are using BF2Hub instead of Gamespy Emulator, so it reads you as an external login and then blocks you

 

I even used the Gamespy Redirector and launched it from there after selecting my installation folder. Still no joy. I even outright quit BF2Hub and closed it in the system tray.

 

RIGHT! Update time, I created a new account in-game that isnt related to Bf2Hub at all; lo and behold; IT LETS ME IN!
I played a round of co-op with 16 bots. Private Stats Admin saw me and everything. Is there a guide on server management? Like how do I get a conquest mode going with bots, 64 players, mod support, using custom maps etc?

EVERYONE WHO ANSWERED THIS THREAD; THANK YOU! THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART FOR STICKING WITH ME AND TRYING TO HELP!

 

And another problem; my stats aren't saving. Neither in BFHQ or on the ASP. I ran the test on the ASP, all fine. Running everything as administrator, name of directory without spaces etc.

 

Take a look at your /ASP/System/Snapshots folder
Hopefully you can find the reason your snapshots ( scores ) are not imported to the database.

 

Awards are saving, snapshots are sent to the ASP but, rank's not increasing.
even though I met the conditions; did I miss anything?

 

When I click on my player in the ASP I get a PHP error. Now the awards arent saving again.
To fix not getting a rank, I changed the LAN override IP to my private IP/server IP; I know this may have been stupid but I figured it was worth a try.
