Be aware that graphics slowdown in this game can often exhibit symptoms that look, for all intents and purposes, like network lag.

Try dropping all of your graphics settings to low and your res to 800x600 and then give it a go. I find if I put the texture detail up too high, then I get this mysterious not-lag as the card swaps textures between the HD, system memory and the graphics memory.

is anyone else's CD being spazzy and taking ages to run?

This happened to me last time I got an EA game, Lord of the Rings: battle for middle earth.

Actually, I had this about 8 hours ago and just got around to posting it.

You have a tie fighter on your head, aicmfp.

That looks like a US version what with the "Parental Advisory" notice and all. I bought a copy from Tesco earlier, and the top left is white, with PC and the DVD ROM logo next to it and a red bit around it clarifying it is ONLY DVD COMPATIBLE, the bottom left has the 16+ pegi logo, the PC logo is missing and the EA games logo is a bit smaller. Not that it matters.

I installed it and have played it for a couple of hours in single player with no problems at all, apart from the fact that I have no clue as to what you are supposed to do. Any interaction on my part seems to guarantee defeat, whereas my greatest (and only) victory was attained by remaining stationary on the spawn point for 20 minutes while I made my dinner.

I'm starting to get the hang of it, joining squads and trying to pay attention to the commander. This is online of course, cant be asrsed to have to do all the work in single player mode. It's very good but still cant beat a good blast on CS:S.

The annoying thing is I have to use the nvidia drivers on the DVD or I get bad graphics lag at a decent resolution.

I have been playing (or trying to play) with a pirated (from my friend) copy and general Google search CD-Key and the game keeps crashing. I cannot join a server with someone who has the same key. This is uber ghey. I'm going to buy it.

:D

You lose, narf. I realised after patching it that the patch WOULDN'T work with a No-CD crack and I couldn't be arsed looking for a V1.01 crack. So, OMFGTBHBBQ, I bought the fricking game.

yeah, I looked for a crack for the patch, and all I found were these fucking Mini-CD images that wouldn't work because the game won't run with CD-Emulation on. I just gave up. I did get my copy for $34 on ebay though.
