    I've been playing planetside 2 for a long time withought experiencing any problems,until one day i started the game and players were clipping,terminals took 2 mins to activate and when i died it took 4 mins to deploy if it even registered my death.I logged out and then it crashed and i got the g30 error,also today it started crashing about 2 mins in-game,i tried redownloading it and it didnt work.So basically the game is unplayable and i could really use some help!(i contacted costumer support but im hoping i could get some help from here as well)

    I've been redownloading the entire game and validating the gamefiles since yesterday. Apart from 2-3 hours of playtime, the game is pretty much unplayable after about 30 seconds.

    Same. They just need a server reboot but apparently none of the developers is listening.

    I've got a perfectly fine Cisco Linksys E4200 router, I'm a computer&network technician so trust me when I say there's nothing wrong with my network. The router is fine.

    Chances are, your router is fine too. If you don't experience any problems with other online games, than buying a new router for the sake of one game is ridiculous, the router is fine.

    Telling you to check with your ISP is also just a way for the PS2 tech support guys to evade the problem.
    This method is NOT uncommon among tech support personal of games, I've seen it done before plenty.

    From my experience, the chances of it being your ISP are slim to none. And considering we all have different ISPs here, I think it's safe to say, none.

    Moreover, if you do contact your ISP, it will either blame the game, or your router.
    This is what tech support usually does, it throws the blame around for as long as it possibly can, and only when it's completely impossible to ignore it, will the devs look into it more seriously.

    As a technician, I have no respect for technicians that do this, it is simply annoying. Nothing but trying to get away from work.

    As for the topic, if it weren't obvious by now, yes, I have this exact same problem. I also opened a ticket about it, but I've had no human response to it yet.

    So,the patch seems to have fixed the crashing and the g30 error but still,really bad connection for some strange reason.(other online games work just fine)

    I'm still experiencing extreme clipping and lag right from the start though the crashing seems indeed to have been fixed with the last patch.

    Still unplayable though.

    People report connection problems in another thread and our problem might have something to do with the servers themselves.
    Pinging the server IP (Miller for me, 195.33.132.172) results in significant packet-losses that might have something to do with the game breaking lag.

    Still waiting for an official response, or better yet, fix.

    My router was not faulty, it only have a malfunction with PS2 and IL2-1946 (with server browser) all ports needed for PS2 are opened.

    Maybe this can alert developers to investigate a possible bug with conexant CX94610 chipset

    And yes, if someone have warp/lag problems i still recommend to try a different router/ update network card driver to find a possible fix.

    I never told about buy a new router, only test a different one.

    I hope that you understand this ;)
