PU01 Patch Notes: Tuesday, November 12, 2013

Great news, does that mean we can get back to balance updates too ?

Dont misunderstand im giddy like a kid that is about to french kiss barney that dino.

I like that update. Now the PS2 is better. Thank you SOE.

You think you should know how many people are in a vehicle why? Because you have x ray vision? Its easier and safer for you? t

Think about the sand this adds to the game. Flying decoy gals or sundies to cover for the real troops. It was always dumb to be able to magically know how many people are in a vehicle.

THATS AWESOME ! NICE

Same here. Almost unplayable, though it was fine before. Even have Settings on 'Very Low' now, and getting 8 fps (used to 20 or so), and everything has a weird 'glow' about it (terminals, etc)

I'm happy with everything but:

Really? So rather than adding the only good thing in BF3 (spawn on a teammate) you make it so we can't even spawn on our squad leader who's managed to survive entering a base?
And, Yes, I know ESF's whine when struck by a drop pod (I do anyway) but you are taking away a rather fun dynamic.

i dont care if the update is good or bad .. this is crap ! .. i have 2 hours only to play today because i have to work all night and SOE are droping a bomb on me to download 1746MB before i can play the freakin game ! -.-

my download speed is 50kb-100kb ... that is 8-18 hours of downloading , wtf !!!

Can anyone answer this for me?
Since the patch today, GPU physics is unavailable and is greyed out, even though I've been able to have it on since before then. I have a Nvidia GTX 660, could it be some external application somewhere disabling it from the in-game options? (like the GeForce Experience application for instance)

Read the patch notes and you'll figure it out.

We’ve disabled GPU particles until further notice. (Due to some our optimizations, GPU particles don’t work quite right and we need to spend some time to fix them up.)

Thanks for the quick response, must have missed that in the notes.

Wow, I'd like to thank you SOE for making Planetside 2 completely unplayable.

I really thought you'd get somewhere with this patch but it has completely ****** up the game for me.
When I login, I can't redeploy - the timer goes to 0 and nothing happens. The map doesn't display properly (no enemy activity etc). The only thing to do is log out and back in right? OH WAIT I CAN'T DO THAT EITHER. Causes an infinite loading screen stuck at 33% while the bar keeps increasing to full and then resetting.

On the rare occasion I can login and actually redeploy somewhere, after I die and respawn/zoom out on the map, Planetside 2 crashes.

Well done on this update, really.

• No more double loading screens

From triple to double to single. Finally! Thank you SOE!

your PC must have different MB them mine. yes it takes long but only 6-8 hours

Game has become a whole new experience for me. Much smoother, looks much better (on low settings). In big battles, my FPS used to drop to an unplayable 10-20 fps, now remains at a very smooth 30-40. In not so big battles, I'm usually maxing out at 60. Nice work

Overall, I think I almost doubled my FPS. Also my K/D went up along with it

So I just got done playing for a few hours and OMFG is great! Before the patch I would stutter and lag so much that really, it was pretty unplayable. Now it's very smooth and the only hiccups I ran into was in a very large battle and it was very short. I think you guys did a great job on this one. Time to start using my boosts and maybe buy some premium time.

Oh oh, and I would crash every single time I exited the game...this time, it closed fast with no problem! YAY!

Yeah, this is an amazing patch I am locked at 60 fps in ultra with my SLI'd 760's and loving it. Definitely buying more SC!

good show.

Well done, Sony!

Well that's a crap change. Shouting "3 GALS INCOMING, ALL FULL" is standard. Decoy gals are gonna be abused to the extreme. It is a lot of firepower to waste to kill one solo gal.

Should you be able to see by default? Perhaps not, but maybe add advanced targeting implant like the original PS game.
