Basically i've just baught BC2 and Vietnam and i tryed to access the Polite and Friendly server earlier on this morning. And Skellet informed me that the server was down because it showed as grey to him. But when i went in a normal game i experienced lag i've never seen before. Was really really bad i put my graphic setting lower and set my resolution to the required one for my screen which is 1440x400 and it seemed to not of fixed this. I was wondering if there was anyway to stop this lag because i don't want this to be a purchase i regret because i can't take it back because i baught it from Steam. Plz help.

Thx

If you have AVG installed, then diasable to in-memory / resident scanner. In my case it causes the game to pause for a few seconds before I actually appear after the countdown spawn.
The server is up for Vietnam so you have to click the left-hand tab to force it to display.
