Scheduled Maintenance April 16th, 6 AM PT

Congratulations for scoring the 4th place on my Ignore List. Sadly, you don't get a medal nor a Consolation Prize.

I also found the latest update increased my load times and frequency of crash to desktop. The crash to desktop seem to happen right after spawning or in the middle of spawning loading screens (hope that helps narrow down the bugs I'm experiencing).

I've also noticed increased game disconnects from squad mates (which could be on the clientside) piloting Galaxies. Yesterday was the first time I've had 2 different pilots disconnect inflight within hours of each other.

I'm running on Win 7 Ultimate 64-bit, 32 GB ram and Intel Quad-Core processor (and I did notice the game launches PlanetSide2.exe as opposed to the 64 bit version).

I would imagine these type of crashes are a priority issue (and I understand not everyone experiences them, but it seems I am also not alone). It makes it very difficult to stick with the squad and be a team player when you're crashing in inopportune times. As such, there's only so much daily crashing I can stomach, before I drop the game and move on to something more stable.

Why does the 64bit client crash? Because even if it is 64bit, the RAM is limited to 2GB although the goal of the 64bit version is to exceed this limit.
Just add 2 lines in the code, and this is fixed. I know it, because I force it with the large address aware software.

They explained why the load times are longer in the patch notes..
They increased it so that they can track down a problem that some players are/have been experiencing where after their game was done loading, in-game objects still weren't finished loading.
Some times the loading screens do take pretty long though, and it's too bad that people who haven't experienced the problem get the on purposely increased loading screen times, but after all I don't mind it.
The long loading screens give me some time to grab something to drink lol.

I have also had disconnects after the latest patch. PS2 just closes down with no error whatsoever.
And yesterday evening I and many other players experienced a huge lagg spike on Indar in the Cobalt server. My character refused to uncloak and a few seconds later I saw players walk by at high speed and my cloak was freaking out lol.

Really glad they're moving away from weekly patches, because I don't want PS2 to become like BF4 where it's (sadly) a common occurrence that patches bring more problems than they solve .

Well, I have some bad news for you (and anyone else who reads this). The 64 bit client proved too buggy AGAIN, so once again, they've pulled it from the public client until they can fix it properly (AGAIN). The files are still in the client, but they are currently unused (AGAIN), so we'll just have to sit tight, yet again.

Honestly, if it says this again in the next patch notes I swear I'm going to laugh and complete the Goat Simulator

Actually, this is good news. Good riddance, means I can stop playing the Goat Simulator for today.

I do wonder however, if it worked for all those on the test server? Or of they completely ignored the instability reports. I mean, I know the developers don't read the regular forums, but do they even read the test server forums? Because this was posted there.

Thats right, but I have no chance now against a Magrider. Normaly I would drive forward activate my shield and would kill him, without getting damage, but now my shield is away before I noticed this.

Yeah, no more bumrushing and winning every tank vs tank engagement. The NC might actually have to use some tactics (Like Flanking) to win. It might actually be enjoyable for a change...

So pretty much just balancing and no new content? are we going to go 6 months without a continent and working warpgates? Seriously now people dont even spawn at warpgates so you have turned this game into something none of my friends want to play thx guys

Well, I think people had been saying it worked well on the test server, but I believe a particular variable might be why they can't get it working in a stable fashion on live. Test servers never get numbers anywhere NEAR the constant fighting that happens on any given medium population live server or higher. Hence, they don't get a good sense of how well the 64-bit client handles load stress compared to the conventional one we've been using.

S3X1 Hellz Angelz would like to thank SOE for unnerfing our outfit tag <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Performance is terrible on 64-bit client. More than twice slower! Where I have 60+ FPS on 32 bit I have about 30 FPS on 64bit client. (Lenovo Ideapad Z500 - Nvidia GT 740M / Win 8)

Also, still experiencing noticeable input lag in-game.

SORT OUT THE LONG LOADING TIMES!

THIS GAME'S PERFORMANCE GETS WORSE WITH EVERY PATCH!

WHAT IS GOING ON THERE?!

i like all of these so far... but when do you start discussing how you are cleaning up the cheaters?
when was the last time anyone in SOE made a sweep and stamp out the cheaters?

Stability in the update is horrible, I crashed 6 times within an hour

While leading a platoon I crashed right before the end of a dominating alert; missing out on all of the spoils of war. So, if you can't fix the crashes please change the way you calculate alert XP.

SOE I WILL TELL U THIS ONE MORE TIME OH AND BY THE IM DONE PLAYING UNTIL U ******* GET RID OF THIS 64 BIT CLIENT SHOT ******* CHRIST SOE FIX THIS ******* GAME NOW FUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKK

BYE SOE im done playing i cant play this **** game with its 64 bit client anymore I will be back if u keep it 32 BIT un til then BYE

The April 17th SOE System update has made it so I cannot play the game, SOE help us and fix this!
