*** Official Planetside 2 Thread ***

You've taken this all rather personally, my comment was aimed more at the people who played for 5 minutes and made a gameplay judgement, you seem to have seen yourself among them.

I thought your comment was made directed at me. If it was general then fair enough.

The game looks fine in that video, but they are the Ultra textures which aren't available yet? It doesn't look that good in game for sure. The inside of the stations are particularly hideous. I have an ATI 7870, so it's not a system issue. Even Guild mates have commented that the graphics look 'washed out' and 'misty'.
 
Finally decided to try and play it ....

Just figured out that you can jump up the walls of the base and get in without the need of jump jets.

This vid was made using the in game video recording at it's highest setting and then uploaded directly to youtube (first time I have ever uploaded a video).

The quality is crap but you can still see what I mean.

Oh jeez youre talking about the fog. Yes, very annoying but some kind of fps protection. Apparently in the beta you could disable fxaa and put in sweetfx which cleared it. Im going to look into it tonight.

Edit -apparently you cant disable fxaa anymore :( so stuck with the post processing.

You can activate ultra textures by editing your ini file, helps make it look much clearer. I'm expecting they'll release some options to fix the washed out look (think it's the fxaa doing it).
 
TR getting smashed to pieces on Miller right now! In the space of half hour we lost half of indar to the VS and nearly pushed back to our warp gate :P

One thing i have noticed, im getting smashed to pieces by liberators and tanks that are mega upgraded :( All i have is a x2 scope on my light assault guy and a boost to my armour. Im going to have to buy some SC sooner than i thought!
 
The settings that I have found to work the best for me on my pc (i5 @ 4.2, 8gb ram, 5770 crossfire, ssd) is all on low apart from model detail, textures and terrain which are all on high. The game looks good to me, I know it could look better but until its optimized a bit more it's still more than acceptable.

I am getting 60+ fps running around and 40ish when in battle, which feels good for the most part.

I tried using these settings, but used medium instead of high, didn't notice any FPS change, still only get about 30 max with an AMD X4 630, 8 gig ram and a 5770, weird thing is I was getting the same fps with all on medium.
 
Is this game optimised for either Nvidia or AMD?

Kinda hard to tell, i've usually got around 50fps in battles and up to 90 just in the open, settings on high with ultra enabled in the ini (not that i noticed any difference graphically doing that) on a 7850 whereas some others with 7970's, 680's etc are getting 30fps on medium.
 
I think its easier to say it is optimised for Intel, if your on an AMD cpu frames seem to be hard to come by, it's by far the more important factor then the graphics card.

They have a very high population and a very high 24 hour coverage... there are times of the day when TR have 40% populatin in ALL 3 continents. It's only a matter of time before all of them are red.

Don't get what people get out of playing TR tbh, I'm glad I switched from them last second - insta kill weapons and endless zerg would not a fun game make. Although I'm looking forward to the weapon nerf they get, hoping they get NC level of recoil on their guns at least :D
