    Hey guys. Anyone else having this issue?


    My screen starts flickering every 10-15 minutes. It is VERY annoying! Please find a fix to this!

    Just had that too. Had to re-log. Got a 40mb patch for my troubles. Still dl-ing. Better not have to Q again :(

    Same issue here. It's totally annoying.
    Got a Radeon HD 7870 with the drivers and I don't think it's a problem with the card.

    Yep, had this, but somehow it resolved itself by sitting still for a a couple of seconds.
    Still a bad thing, and I wonder if this has something to do with all those characters popping up and disappearing all the time.

    I also have an MSI 7870 twin frozr and am getting this problem, only way to fix it is restart the client for me, I get this problem and the FPS bombs and the client locks up completely.

    I have this problem as well... it did not go away not even with logging out so i closed and reopened planetside, that fixed it but after about 30 minutes it came back.

    Same here.
    Usually after those flashing game stops, so only stoping process helps to start game again, till this bug repeats.

    Trying to play with graphic settings now.
  12. iAmFATAL

    Yeah exacly the same for me. Loggin out did not fix it for me so i had to restart the game. After 20 min ingame it returned again.
    My GPU is GeForce PNY 570 @1.25GB

    I've just had it again was only playing for 20-30 minutes, I'm playing on max setting withs shadows on low. I've tried moving to medium preset but i still had this problem.

    I've got this problem too. I can play for a while, then this happens. Usually before it happens, my fps will drop to like 1 for a few seconds, then this happens.

    Repost from other thread for visibility

    Had this twice over a 90 minute session just now. First one went away after about 2 minutes when I open/closed map. Getting late so logged after second instance. Was talking in game to another guy who had it at the same time. GPU was at 60C so don't think was overheating.

    Win7 64b
    i5-2500
    8Gb
    GTX570
    Latest nvidia drivers I thnk

    I'm so pleased that you posted that video. The amount of times I have died and messed up my KD is stupid.

    I am getting it as well. I thought it was the GPU temperatures. My maximum if 74 and the maximum it can so is 105. I ahve an nvidia card and sother get the problems with AMD.
    The bugs right now are making the game unplayable.
    I logged out and exited the game. I restarted which fixed the problem. Then was disconnected from the server and could not log back in.

    Same issue here - intermittent for me, it can be shortly after a session starts or I can go for hours without any issue. Has occurred in both ground vehicles (Sunderer) and as infantry (Engi/Infil).
    Alt tabbing to desktop and back seemed to fix it last time but not had it happen since to see if this is a reliable solution.

    System:
    Win 7 Home Premium 64bit
    Intel i5-2500K 3.30GHz
    Geforce 560 GTX Ti (306.97 drivers)
    8 GB RAM

    in case it's any help.

    I have to stop, I have epilepsy and that flashing white screen is making me feel sick!

    Then i would suggest you to wait until this gets fixed, since this game (or any other) is not worth sacrificing your health for it.
