Extreme lag in Battlefield 1943.

So I decided to get Battlefield 1943 a few days ago, when it was on sale.

The first day I played it was laggy...it seemed like I had an invisible force pulling me back, and it was pretty much unplayable.

The next day, the game performed 100% fine. I was happy.

Today, however, it got unplayable again. Every single damn game. Is this common? If so, I'm going to be fucking pissed.

No other online games I own have show any lag whatsoever, so I assume its a problem with the game's servers or something?

I hate you and you hate me.

    Probably a framerate issue. Can you bring up the framerate in that game?

    I forgot to mention that this is on the Xbox 360.

    I was trying to play 1943 with my buddy last night and we were experiencing extreme lag as well. So you are not alone. I wouldn't say it is common, the game has mostly been fine for me since I bought it when it came out. But I haven't been playing constantly or anything.

    Hopefully it is some issue they can fix soon.

    Unfortunately BF1943 has been plagued with TONS of glitches, errors, crashes from the very beginning and that does include this lag you're experiencing. Just keep trying to play... some days will be worse than others. At least you didn't pay full price like I did.

    Does the game still freeze when a bombing raid happens? That used to be the one that pissed me off the most.

    Good luck.
