Well I seem to be doing a bit different than you, I entered the game , exit tube and yell how lucky I am to get in to the game finally after 4 log in attempts and then I get the server disconnect message .
Every time I die the game freezes up and crashes since the update, this needs sorting or I'm going to have to ask all opposition to stop killing me until its fixed.
Check your Event Viewer application logs (Start -> Run "eventvwr.exe") and see if you can find any application errors for Planetside 2. You might not have PhysX enabled, but it's still a running component of the game that can be processed by the CPU even if you aren't using the proprietary GPU portion of it. The main thing you're looking for in the application errors is the faulting module being related to a PhysX .dll or similarly named component.
Same here, crashed twice in a 15 minute window.. just freezes for a few seconds, resumes for a split second, freezes again, and it crashes.
Some input from SOE on this would be appreciated. I have been crashing constantly since they did their last maintenance. Some maintenance huh? I am at least glad more and more people are having this problem so it can get fixed sooner. Sucks to be you all but I'm going to exploit the **** outta 'ya until it gets resolved.
Yes same here, always crashes when i click the Social butto my game crashes. The eventviewer gives me this with the ID error 1000: Naam van toepassing met fout: PlanetSide2.exe, versie: 0.0.0.0, tijdstempel: 0x51c28688 Naam van module met fout: PlanetSide2.exe, versie: 0.0.0.0, tijdstempel: 0x51c28688 Uitzonderingscode: 0xc0000005 Foutoffset: 0x017cba9c Id van proces met fout: 0x1420 Starttijd van toepassing met fout: 0x01ce6dee3e641920 Pad naar toepassing met fout: D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\PlanetSide 2\PlanetSide2.exe Pad naar module met fout: D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\PlanetSide 2\PlanetSide2.exe Rapport-id: 6d84fd37-d9e3-11e2-ac44-1c6f65d4a382
I'm seeing crashes every few minutes now, and according to event viewer, the file responsible is PhysX3_x86.dll. I've tried deleting it & validating the launcher (to replace the file) and it's still occurring. This is with 'GPU Physics' set to off. Edit - full event viewer log: Faulting application name: PlanetSide2.exe, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x51c28688 Faulting module name: PhysX3_x86.dll, version: 3.2.0.1, time stamp: 0x51893f48 Exception code: 0xc0000005 Fault offset: 0x001442e7 Faulting process id: 0x1290 Faulting application start time: 0x01ce6df5f6645294 Faulting application path: C:\Users\Public\Sony Online Entertainment\Installed Games\PlanetSide 2\PlanetSide2.exe Faulting module path: C:\Users\Public\Sony Online Entertainment\Installed Games\PlanetSide 2\PhysX3_x86.dll Report Id: 57868b3c-d9eb-11e2-8a37-902b34555229
Crashes caused by PhysX/related components like that specific file means we'll have to wait for a hotfix or update otherwise to fix whatever is causing the crashes. Even though we can turn GPU PhysX off, PhysX is still active in the game and can be processed by the CPU instead, just without the flashy effects (elevator particles, etc). I may have found a fix, see my last post in the thread I made about it. If it doesn't fix it for you after you have played for a few hours, even with GPU Particle Quality set to Off, please post it in that thread.
