This fault appears to be as a direct result of the most recent, large update, issued 9/4/2015. I can open the Launchpad and, indeed, the game, properly. After selecting my character and waiting past the loading screen, PlanetSide 2 halts just as the main menu map screen begins to load - all I get to see are the sides of the background of the map - the map, itself, doesn't load. This problem is persisting and has no game error attached to it. I am forced to force-close the process in order to stop it from taking over my computer's resources (everything begins to lag a hefty amount, to the point where my desktop appears to be unresponsive - this is all until I force-close the PlanetSide 2 process). In Task Manager and at this point, PlanetSide 2 is shown as 'Not responding'. The game was working fine until this update was installed. No other errors are showing at my end and it is pretty obvious that this has something to do with the aforementioned game update.
Nevermind, rebooting didn't work after all. It just didn't crash as fast that time. It gets to the point where it connects and I can hear the fighting going on around me and then it crashes, I even managed to spawn before it crashed once, picked the spot I wanted, graphics loaded, saw names of people killed then it locked up and disconnection. I've tried Connery & Emerald, same on both. During one test I got a G9 Error if that helps?
Sorry for the false hope, edited my post, just didn't crash as fast that time, everything loaded and it let me into the game and crashed when my character spawned in the tube.
Considering quitting altogether. Absolutely pathetic of Daybreak. I've spent a lot of money on this one game, alone - just to have them continually issue dud updates like this. Where's my bucket of support tickets?
Same issue in that I get a black screen where the map should be after logging into my character. I am forced to shut the game down with task manager. Do these patches actually get tested on the PTS or what? After a month of no updates this is ridiculous.
I have the same problem. I've validated game files, deleted .exe's etc, re-downloaded them and it didn't fix the problem. Anybody tried reinstalling? Anyone found a work-around? Any news of a fix?
Have you had problems each update? ----- Having the same issue here, I can log in, however when I reach the spawn screen it's black and whilst I can move the cursor, nothing loads for a few minutes before windows reports it as frozen.
