To clarify, the G15 error doesn't always appear when there's a firewall error. As it states in the URL of the page, it's Gateway related issue. For me, I don't use any firewalls and my disabled my entire default Windows firewall completely. I know the game just got released into the public, so there must be some high server loads, but in this case, the problem is on your end since a lot of people are experiencing this issue.
For those getting a memory error while installing, try using Steam to download and install. Was able to get it to work even with 2GB of RAM.
Why don't you simply display these messages as well as the code in the game? It would save people having to poke about on the forums to find out what's going on....
As I've posted weeks ago during Beta already, after crashing (G37) the game doesn't get past Splash Screen anymore. The application has to be force closed first. After that, another "try" at a "real" login can be made.
Hey if anyone can please answer this if where can I update my video card drivers for the intel core 2 duo because I got error g25
A few folks have been getting G22, wondering if we can get some clarification when you have a spare second!
When I press play error g22 malfunction shows http://www.planetside2.com/error/game.action?code=G25&info=failed ConstructDisplay3D
Why wouldn't you have this information appear on the error page on your site? It would take only a minute to add each paragraph to each error page.
Am I the only one with the g25 error code still? >.> I already updated my video card and went to Technical Support
