Coded like crap.

So the game is choppy, not because of my GPU not being able to process it. But the game actually stops being processed by the CPU, then it processes like normal, then it isnt, etc.... So my CPU usage is fluxuating between 0% to 75% to the point where its un playable.

Great freaking' job BCS.

works wonderful on MY computer

Saseal, you have multiple cores right? I believe that PR may have problems with that, although I'm not sure. Many people play the game just fine though.

Bravo told me a long time ago that for the BF2 engine (PR), you need to set the affinity to one CPU - try that and see if it makes a difference

I believe you can set affinity right in your shortcut. That's how I do it. (note: backup your shortcut first just in case)
Open your shortcut and put in
start /AFFINITY 2 +modPath mods/pr +menu 1 +fullscreen 1
right after
"C:\Program Files (x86)\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\pr\pr.exe"
You must have 1 space before 'start':

"C:\Program Files (x86)\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\BF2.exe" start /AFFINITY 2 +modPath mods/pr +menu 1 +fullscreen 1

For wide screen(Example resolution set @ 1680x1050):

"C:\Program Files (x86)\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\BF2.exe" start /AFFINITY 2 +modPath mods/pr +menu 1 +widescreen 1 +szx 1680 +szy 1050

Good luck hope it helps

They did do a great job... this isn't something you paid for. I'm sorry it isn't working for you right now and understand your frustration but don't write it off.

It works as does making sure your audio settings are correct.

The sound schemes are cranked up in PR. If you have on-board audio you have to keep it set for software. It is unplayable if set to hardware audio attempting to use on-board audio. I've already experienced this issue. When I replaced the on-board audio with a stand alone sound card, I presumed I could crank up the audio to 'Hardware' & 'High'. The gameplay actually got worse. I learned that Audio set to 'Hardware' & 'Medium' with X-Fi & EAX turned on is playable. If any of these settings aren't correct you will experience exactly what you have described. To test to see if this is your problem you can either take it down a setting at a time to see where gameplay becomes good or you can take it all the way down and bring it up slowly until you notice it's getting choppy.
