December 18, 2024 - PC Hotfix

i have something to say about what phil46 typed above, and i think i saw your name on yell chat a few times complaining...anyway
im a vehicle player... i enjoy playng on all factions i started playng planetside 2 since december 2012... what can i say about mbt's at the moment from my own point of view is this: the tr prowler is the most fun to play from all... its agile, its fast its nimble and can demolish deployed sundys from close or long range thanx to its amazing range capabilites once deployed
on the other hand, the vanguard is the tank i avoid the most to play with, its big clunky, hard to maneuver and such a strong inertia,
yes it can demolish anything in 1vs1 at close range if u have a gunner BUT... a pro player in any mbt can deal with the vanguard, not to mention that the vanguard main guns are weak at long range, big bullet drop and not so great bullet velocity
one more thing, if u look at the map more times than often you will see alot more tr prowlers on the map than vanguards...

happy hollidays

In my opinion, all MBT are identical. Just kill the driver while hes outside it repairing.

if 3 way game. and noone fight your team that means your team weakest. 3 way concept in more than 50% of cases 2 strong team fight 3rd weakest team win. ask any mathematician.
vanguard pwn everything in close? its should. this is a feature of the game mechanics. nc break face in close. fight1vs1 vanguards not best idea.

Seems like this worked. The main menu crash is fixed, i played for few minutes and everything is fine

Hi, I reduced VRAM between 4096-8192, the game crashed in 20mn.
So I resizd VRAM 32000-36000

Mithril I Crashed after 30m this morning.

Also, the Mosquito firing sound is bugged or something.

2 sessions:
1) ~40 minutes, crash.
2) ~1.5-2 hours. Lost part of the sound effects after ~1h15min, further played - at some point, even shooting sounds disappeared.

Jup - same here. After playing for like 10 minutes i was like 'hey - they really fixed it'... Was able to actually play the game, killed some, got killed, revived some and so on... But nope. Game froze after around 45 minutes. Mem could not be read. I instantly logged back in and got a G12 error. I then logged in again and was able to get at least another directive done.

@Mithril i have some questions to ask (several were asked already in the past)

1) What is the test server for? Do you guys even use it nowadays? If it is to only test your stuff on your side then why do you even allow players to log in there if you are not interested in any feedback anymore bc that is really how it feels to the players.

2) If freezes and crashes were related to CPUs that dont support SSE 4.2 (my very old i5 3470 cpu does support it) dont you think you should finally update your official minimum Hardware Specs needed to play the game?

3) Improved performance on Win7... Did you even tested that on Win7? I can not see any improvements - but somehow at least to me graphics look a bit more ugly now.

4) Any plans how to adress the fact that there are paying members who couldnt play the game over the last weeks and therefore couldnt get the x-mas directives done?

No Problem mithril. I just want this game to be the best it can .

Seems the patch worked. No crashes so far. Played 1+ hours. Good job guys!

Still crashing. I did play almost 2 hours (this time) for it to crash .

I would also like to point out that I tabbed out after first stutter to see c drive at 2.5gb free (if i recall correctly ps2 should have been at over 3gb ram usage and then it suddenly dropped during crash), then tab back in and crash almost immediately.

During crash:


After crash:

Pretty sure you guys have a sneaky memory leak, I did tab out a couple of times before crash and it was at 7.91 exact, so at one point your game just decides to swap into page file instead of releasing memory.

Out of memory log:
