*** Official Planetside 2 Thread ***

Man, those devs have A LOT of work to do before this is released to open beta, borderline unplayable 90% of the time. Those of you not playing, right now you're not missing much.
 
I wouldn't agree with that. I've been on over the past few days & although I don't doubt it has its issues, which it certainly does, unplayable 90% of the time is a bit extreme.

I'd have said 30% of the time at most, but I guess it depends on what you're doing in-game / size of fights you are involved in.

Yeh my bad, probably just raging because it CTD during a great fight. Well here is a fps fix, worked great for me, solid 50-80fps in fights.


Step 1: locate - C:\Users\Public\Sony Online Entertainment\Installed Games\PlanetSide 2 Beta
You can also find this folder through the launcher's "advanced tools" -> open game directory
or; right-click your PS2 shortcut -> open file location

Step 2: find a file called "UserOptions" and open it in notepad

Step 3: find the command "RenderDistance" and change the -1.0000 into a number of your liking (in meters).
I set it to 1000 meters which doesn't impair my play at all and gives me about 60 FPS more in fights. Up to 200 FPS in the warpgate area

Step 4: make sure you saved the config file and start up the game

Step 5: enjoy

This sort of thing is exactly why we have NDA's, I know for a fact that others have been playing for weeks without a single crash.
 
Crashing lots for me as well.

I really don't think it's my kind of game, I like the idea, but futuristic stuff doesn't do it for me and so far it's not impressed me a great deal. I know it's a beta but it's just not for me.

Its a different game when played tactically with an Outfit, don't write it off just yet.

This. First time I played PS1 when even at the time the gunplay etc of it was shoddy - I was thinking what the hell is this... then I found myself caught up in some mass armored column heading to a base which you could see in the distance had a swarm of liberators levelling the place... it instantly sold itself in that moment as a legendary game.

Odd but this didnt seem to work for me, no change noticed really the game is still bordering on inplayable :D. This is down to my graphics though i suspect, im going to give it 2 weeks to see if they can improve it enough and if not i guess ill have to look into a new laptop

Felt that last night.

We were holding the Crown (NC) and in the distance 5 TR Vanguards, couple of Sunderers, 3 Gals with supporting Libs/Reavers were heading our way.

It got a bit manic but we Repelled the Oppressors :P

Sam I set mine to -1.0000 & it almost doubled my fps, so try -1.000 for your laptop if you haven't already.
 
A friend of mine who is in Beta sent me a text last night stating that he updated to the latest Nvidia Beta drivers for his card and it seems to have improved his gameplay a helluva lot.
 
Lol. You do know that all beta testers are meant to be under NDA, right? So blabbing off here about the current state of an early beta... is it willful ignorance, or just plain stupidity?

Quick, get on to the devs and get everyone banned?
 
Just signed up on the Immortals website and submitted an application. I thought "Hey, why not introduce myself in the forum" but unless I'm being massively blind I can't see a button to start a new thread? :D

Cheers fella ive got it set to -500 which makes it playable in a 1024x768 window on my laptop :D

Looks like im going to need to order a new one :p

Willing to let someone else who really wants to play the game try it out!?

If you're still not enjoying it ofc! :p
