I just got back to Planetside 2 after a LONG break. I didn't have these problems before but I'm getting them now. I'm using the same computer with the same OS and same specs. I get a random ~1 second freeze about once every hour. This gets very frustrating especially if you're going for a vital kill. Also, sometimes when I die and as I'm respawning the game "exits" to the desktop by itself on the loading screen. I say EXIT and not CRASH because I don't get a Windows crash error (Planetside 2 stopped working etc.). My system specs: i5 3570k EVGA GTX 670 4MB ASRock Z77 Extreme4 Kingston HyperX 8GB (2x4GB) Windows 7 64-bit Game is installed to the C:\PlanetSide 2 directory. Running as Administrator.
I get that crash when respawning too sometimes, very rare though. Try updating your graphics card drivers, that probably will help
