Physics simulation in this game is horrible

Dunno from where to start really, everything is broken and odd. Starting from the first time i trew grenade up to driving a tank game felt clunky, non responsive and counter intuitive. And since this is engine related thing, i guess, im not seeing it improving any time soon

funny, i see none of that. maybe its something on your end.

Better physics would cause more lag.

Ironically this game has one of the most advanced physics engines on the market.

Troll OP?

It's PhysX - What did you honestly expect? Limited PhysX sure, but PhysX nonetheless. It has never looked good in a gameplay enviroment imho.

The physics are quite ... unusual... indeed. Compared to most other games, they feel somewhat weird, especially when you don't have any performance upgrades on your vehicles.

Also, best physics engine.... y u have sliding stationary vehicles?

The GPU PhysX are currently disabled by the way.

I never said anything about the GPU PhysX. The game uses CPU PhysX for some of the physics in the game - mandatory for all players by the way.

That's why I said, "by the way". I should of said "in addition to this comment, etc"

What physics are you talking about? Try to drive a sunderer, to see, that there is no physics at all in this game xD

I feel stupid but, why aren't they on.. that looks outrageous! xD

You can enable it in your UserOptions.ini if you are using a NVIDIA GPU. Dont ask me, how to do it, there are millions of posts about it here and i am using an ATI GPU

There's a difference between "wonky physics" and no physics at all. Planetside is the former.

It was causing constant crashing for people in the beta. We're still waiting for nVidia and SOE to co-fix the issue so they can re-enable it for users.

alrighty thanks!

Ever ride on the Flash? Notice how the spring bounces nicely?

BTW, they are probably optimizing the GPU PhysX. There's going to be a huge optimization patch in January.

Compared to the occasional ghost launch halfway across the map in Halo 4, I think Planetside 2 wins as far as physics engines...

You jump out of a vehicle you are going the same exact speed and trajectory, spacebar incorporates vertical thrust, and the lovely flash and lightning are too much of a vehicle for the average driver who can't handle the force they produce, which usually spins the vehicle out of control. But great physics.

OMG why the hell did they disable it? it's the difference between 2 and 5 star!

Because a ton of people are having issues with performance. They are optimizing it now.

I'd actually prefer that they worked on animations. The game feels kinda stiff at the moment.

LOL!

PhysX is disable folks, it is not in the game yet.
