Beta Player - Hard Locking up in Game.

    I am sure this has been reported elsewhere but my outfit (approximately 20 active players) have all been encountering hard lock-ups that last anywhere between 5 seconds onto a minute or until we manually close the process. This reports to the processing tree as "Not Responding" but does occasionally come back, maybe 70% of the time?

    I have, in an attempt to solve the problem, re-installed Planetside 2 on a different drive. re-installed Planetside 2 on a raid 0 array, re-installed Planetside 2 on the main C drive. Members in our outfit are subjected to the issue even when using a SSD. It is not a Hard drive issue beyond the game seeking out an asset that SOE themselves have not included.

    Large array of CPU and GFX configurations between us.

    I have run into the lock-up during unbound 60fps (GPU, Alt-F).

    The locking up has only been constant the last day or so. Before today it happened only once or twice from my entire playing beta (BR 15 + BR 14). Played beta since a little after the NDA being lifted. This is not a lag issue (there are those too). This is not a Hard drive or OS issue, we have several fresh installs including myself. This is a new occurrence that was not around for Beta.



    Second Bug, Flickering screen where all rendering disappears and you are only left with your UI , essentially rendering you blind.

    Please help.

    Windows 7 64 ultimate.
    i7 920 @3.8Ghz

    Have dxdiag available upon request.

    I have run into both of these same issues. The flickering screen sometime will go away without restarting the game if I can tab out and in a few times but it has more to do with luck to get the flickering to stop. As for the locking up I have been just recently running into the same issues. The locking up appears to happen to me mainly when I am in a lage platoon during vehicle opperations.

    Windows 7 64 Pro
    i7 X980 @3.33
    16GB ram
    Nvidia 480 GTX Hydro cooled

    Temps on the system are staying at or below 80F on the processor and below 86F on the GPU.
