Slow loads

[Eggplant999]

Hi, ever since I installed bf2 I've been one of the first people to load in every game, IE with wait time of 1:40 still left. Recently it gets stuck at "verifying client data" FOREVER, like I won't get in the game until the 55:00 mark. AFAIK there is nothing wrong with regards to viruses or spyware, or my internet connection. Anyone know?

You got any background program running? that might be it. I have that problem before I just close all my background program before I start BF2 everything work fine now.

just msn/zonealarm/and heat monitoring by intel. My comp is alright:
3.0 ghz
2 gig ram
x800 xt ati
SATA 150, 160gb hd

Do you think it most likely an internet problem or a hardware problem?

Try to defrag hard drive.

you should check the gigabytes! are you overclocking your NIC card??!? how about water-cooling the RAMS and see if that helps!!

(sorry, it's a running gag we have at work...last christmas one of my neighbors bought a computer game for her son and couldn't get it to work. she knew i had a working knowledge of computers so i went over to check it out, only to find out their system was a pentium 100 Mhz [whoah!]. i told her that there wasn't much use for a system like that these days...and she'd never get that game to work on it. she looked stressed and just started mumbling things like "can't i buy more gigabytes and get the game to work?!?!? what about the modem, i hear you need a good modem, do you think if i put in a new modem the game will work?!?" and stuff that you could tell...she'd just read an HP brochure or something)

WELL, my suggestion is the ZoneAlarm. if you know nothing else has changed lately (could it be the 1.03 patch?), that might be it. ZoneAlarm auto-updates, and it has a penchant for changing settings you had saved in a previous version. if you have a router, turn ZoneAlarm completely off and start the game and see if that helps. otherwise, i'm fresh out of ideas.
