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.
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.
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.
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 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 laptopThis. 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. 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
Sam I set mine to -1.0000 & it almost doubled my fps, so try -1.000 for your laptop if you haven't already.
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?
