Planetside 2 for the past maybe 4 years is continuous server disconnections and for people with standard or lower end internet, you have to disconnect and reconnect to your own wifi to not DC from the game. And many people have been silent about this because one assumes it's just their internet but over time it became more known as a general issue happening to many and just think about it... You can't have any expectations of receiving and keeping new arrivals if this isn't fixed because you can't play the game lol. It's as simple as that. Recently the outfit chat has been brought back finally after years of being left broken, and the developers should continue down this path, focusing on fixing server related issues, also voice which I will get to, first and foremost rather than trying to solve made up invisible issues. So, I have noticed recently that when I DC from the game the voice chat disconnects for many at the same time and that's just not internet related. People can't lead, they cannot teach the new arrivals... Leaders can't play the game and therefore it is not playable from every conceivable angle. It's like for example you play League of Legends for the competition, not to farm minions, that's just a phase. And if the devs have in plan of taking away all elements and simplifying it to farming minions than you can kiss goodbye to this game, what is that? Thay have yet to explain the reason for new Sunderers and Assault Facility.
Also, I have to bring this up more often. Performance as well has been at such a collapsing decline that it is another factor why the game is close to unplayable. People are humble about this topic as well. But again, you will lose more than half of arrivals because of this issue, you cannot maintain sufficient performance to play the game... I have inspected some past footage from the year 2020, and memories.... The FPS of the game has been more than halved. This game ran 200%+ better before, than now. So, for example with a 2GB Graphics card on the high graphics I could maintain above a stable 60 FPS. Now that is impossible, neither on medium graphics, and it's not even possible with downgraded distorted resolution to minimal values.... It's that bad. I can only maintain the performance of what I had back then (on 1980x1080 res, high graphics)... Now with the lowest resolution, lowest graphics, no shadows. All this makes no sense really. Why, when the game was playable with a 2GB graphics card with very nice visuals, where the requirement upped towards, I am pretty sure 6GB to run the same image... The game doesn't look any better from what it was before and higher res monitors, which I am pretty sure 2% uses, won't have a good image nevertheless cause the environment detail isn't different from what it was before, like mountains, rocks... The game I am hearing is ultimately unoptimized right now. People with turbo PCs, have been mentioning the game being extremely CPU hungry. Again why? What did the last developers do? This has to be looked into.
I too have noticed some bad performance hiccups even on a 13th gen intel, stuff like fights dipping to 60 fps in the dead of night with maybe 30 players total on connery, maybe 5 people at the base fight. I think the c++ code is so garbled and been through so many devs the past 12 years that it's impossible to optimize it beyond a god tier coder, which i hope the new dev (toadman?) will bring to the table. I remember a guy posted on the forum some time back (last 2 years), something you could add on to the PS2 launch.exe file that helped with FPS and it did seem to help, basically it utilized more of the cpu cores or something to boost fps. I've been driving myself nuts trying to find that post again. PS I do not experience the d/c issue you have. However im on connery which is dead., and have modern internet/new router/modem. Maybe try updating your firmware? or It could just be your isp.
Well I found the post https://forums.daybreakgames.com/ps...-causing-massive-stutter.262241/#post-3597468 this might help with your performance issues, the issue is basically windows uses e cores for the game but doesnt utilize the performance cores. Im not sure where to put that code however? ill update when I figure it out.
