PlanetSide.exe has stopped working at launch

    As soon as I click play in the launcher the game starts running but crashes as soon as the loading screen opens. I have tried everything I have found to fix except the changing my resolution fix because I cannot even get far enough into the game to get to the menu to change it.

    My system specs are:
    AMD Phenom II x4 960T O.C'd to 4ghz
    8GB Mushkin 1600mhz RAM
    AMD Radeon HD 7970 3GB vram
    Running off of Windows 8 Pro w/wmc

    Help please :)

    Same problem over here :/

    Game downloaded without problems, but as soon as I click on play, it instantly crashes and tells me that "Planetside2.exe has stopped working" . No "G-Errorcode" ,nothing.

    System Specs:

    Intel Core2Quad Q6600 OC´d to 3.0GHz
    8GB G-Skill 1333mhz RAM
    Nvidia Geforce GTX460 768MB Vram , OC´d to 800/1600/2000 (from 650/1300/1800)
    Win 8 Pro without WMC

    Drivers are all Up-2-Date and Game is unblocked @Firewall.
    Also tried running it as Admin and with Win7-Compatibilitymode , didn´t help.

    The Game worked perfectly in Closed Beta.

    I played for a while just fine, logged out and coming back in 2 hours later and I have this problem quite suddenly.
  13. Serlo

    yeah beta was fine. I tried all unplugging of controllers and closing related apps. tried the DLL change suggest in another thread. I am out of options.

    I am having the exact same problem. I had no problem in beta, no problem the first 2-3 hours after launch and now. Every time i hit the play button i see the loading screen.

    Either it goes to 15/ 48/ 98% and then a few seconds (about 10 seconds) it crashes and says:

    planetside2.exe has stopped working.

    I really have no idea why it is happening, i tried validating the game files, tried removing the useroptions.ini none of these things worked for me. And i have no clue what it is that suddenly is causing these problems for me. I was able to play the game earlier tonight so :<

    YEP they fix G37 and break something else. Created a character it locked, now it won't even load after login entered, just freezes.
