Steam planetside 2 doesn't work for EU players

Steam planetside 2 doesn't work for EU players, so you have to download client from planetside2.eu not .com to get the game working. It fixes the login error and play error "planetside 2 has stopped working"!

Will teach players NOT to use steam, EVER

Oh really? Dont have log in issues but do have game has stopped working thanks for the info I will give it a shot and pass it on to my team

There was an issue for certain combinations of Steam + territories, it should be corrected now, please retry.

I was wrong it didn't solve the problem like it did for my friend. I found a solution from other site and it worked. i have F-secure internet security 2011 and disabling deepguard the game launch just fine, though it's EU client i used, didn't try on steam and prolly won't.

I used steam version from day one and i had no issues, started, updated and worked just fine.. (Poland)

Danish. And I get this no matter what launcher I use. Had same problem since I got into Closed Beta.

"PlanetSide.exe has stopped working"

Didn't encounter any issues running the game through steam (playing on Miller)

cyberdwarf, looks like you are using vista or windows 7, I would suggest disabling all dumb features and themes which you can probably google for a list, to optimize for games.


Disable aero theme etc etc

Funny you should ask. That was the first thing I got adviced to do when I had the problem in Beta. Tried again just now;

Planetside 2.Exe Has Stopped Working
If you are facing this problem, there are many ways to fix it, try the following.

• DirectX should be up-to-date. This shouldnt b e an issue as steam will check this on initial install.
• Verify that your machine has the minimum required amount of RAM to run the game. See requirements.
• Right click the launcher setup file (launchpad.exe) and select Run as Administrator to install the game.
• Make sure that the folder you are installing the game to is not set as Read Only.
• Make sure that launchpad.exe, awesomiumprocess.exe and planetside2.exe are added as exceptions in any Firewall/AV program you are currently running.
• Certain Antivirus programs must be disabled completely before the game will be able to run. They can then be re-enabled once the game has launched. Find instructions for those programs here.
• Uninstall and reinstall the client via the settings menu of the LaunchPad.
• If trouble persists, please contact Customer Support.

Alternate fixes:

Hm, I'll try it. I'll give feedback in a moment. Gotta restart.

Err lol. Steam is awesome. I mean that. No sarsasm. It is a good platform.

JESUS CHRIST, ANDREW. Thanks a whole damn lot! That DEP thing seemed to have solved my problem, and I got it running now!

no problem, get to the fight!
