just sometimes jumps to 130% or so.. but as soon as i increase it to 26 it
becomes totally unplayable.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=218304403-16032004><FONT face=Arial><FONT size=2>With the
release of bf:v i've removed EOD server and installed latest bfv server. Today
was not a good day... First of I tried running 30 people on BFV server but
people complained about the lag... so ive put it down to 24 but people were
still complaining. So ive had to reduce number of spots on DC server down to
24 as well. Now it seems to run alot smoother and no one complains, however
from console, i can see that the game usually starts with around 30% util, but
sometimes jumps to 100% and even 200%. Fps drop down to 20 and people start
getting rubber skating effect.<SPAN class=145540112-16032004><FONT

suggest me what can be done about the lag? It is NOT a network lag, since we
have a full 100mbit line to the server. I know BF1942 was limiting server to
60fps, is there any reason why the same was removed for
BFV?</SPAN></FONT></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>
