Planetside 2 - MMOFPS

[SeQuel]

Move sample rate down to 44100 and render distance between 1000-2000 depending on your rig

Did you mean 1.000000 and 2.000000?

no, 1000-2000

render distance at -1 = infinity..which is why you are getting SHIT for FPS, your machine is rending ANYTHING you have line of sight to, this will bring most machines to their knees.

Hmmm, alright I'll try this tomorrow when servers are back up, thanks.

Me & HT are rolling on NC West2 now, apparently West1 gets full and not all of us can get on to play together.  Since you get certs over time OFFLINE as well, good to create a character to let them start amassing cert points.  Not sure if you have to login once, but would be smart idea.

Goddamn, got the email but when I go to the download link http://www.planetside2.com/download the button doesn't work, what the shit

EDIT: lol nvm, shit doesn't work in Chrome

So who rolled on the side of JUSTICE and Freedom?  Not slavery to aliens and rendering our children into "soylents"?  Or being corporate puppets with no thoughts towards the future?  The mighty Republic that has keep peace for over 1000 years!


Don't listen to the lies of slaves or fools, join us, the Terran Republic!





Enlist now and receive your very own Chainsword *!

Very decent game even in it's beta state. However you can definitely feel that it's a beta, it really needs some more work.

horrific lags

Changed my render distance and it helped my FPS quite a bit so now instead of low 10's I'm in 20-30 range but for some reason after 5-10 seconds I get a fps spike down to 1 for 1-2 seconds then back up and does this non stop while in battles.

sometimes pressing CTRL+U  (hide UI) then turning it back on seems like it helps

Eh, I've pretty much given up on the game unless they do some serious optimization. They said their plans were to have the game run on a 5 year old computer....yah good luck with that. My computer is about 2 years old and it's a FPS mess.

Though, beta is beta I'm just mad I couldn't play a game I was waiting so long for.

Smells like they have a memory leak somewhere (well, probably not just one)

EDIT: Is anyone else missing explosion graphics? Can't see where my rockets are going because there isn't any fire and stuff.

EDIT2: Ok got all the explosion gfx and shit now, seems it needed a restart. Had quite a lot of fun today, that's probably because we actually had coordinated attacks with multiple galaxies storming NC bases.
Also, I'm not experiencing any FPS problems so far.

Played for the first time today, very enjoyable, defo wanna get involved in some group ops if anyone's interested

[Radament]

got better fps with the latest patch but the frame drop persist .
massive fight at the crown tonight (EU1) and i enjoyed for the first time in my life to be a medic.

You definitely need a decent Platoon that uses voice com to fully enjoy this. Got lucky and auto-joined one yesterday and I seriously had the most epic time. 3 Galaxies of people dropping on NC bases and storming in + randomers joining the fight.. awesome

I did notice a FPS drop when we had many vs many close quarters combat, but I also saw the devs broadcasted in-game that performance is their #1 priority right now.

As for the game balance, there seems to be butts of MAXes when assaulting points. They need to add a resource cost when you spawn with a MAX or something.


What server are the EU guys playing on? I'm currently on EU2.
