What new patch problems are you having?

[Navaron]

My game now randomly just stops, and goes back to my desktop, no crash, no error, no warning.

I can't enter the vehicle training areas with out this problem.

The fucking doors lag like 5 seconds still.

I haven't been able to stay in game long enough to get my deliverer to find out what they messed up with that.

Sometimes I feel like they should just stop selling this game, close shop, and go back to beta for another 6 months, instead of making us pay them 13 dollars a month to beta test for them.

[Aegis]

Just the one you are getting, game drops to desktop with no warning or error messages.

[Recster]

I haven't really had any problems with the game since the patch but then again i've only played the game for about 30 min since the patch

[Madcow]

When the patch first came over at 3 am on Sunday morning it wouldn't let anybody log on, we had a client/server version not matching and everybody was sitting in chat hoping they'd fix it.
Yesterday afternoon I played and didn't have a single issue.

[Sandman]

My problem is all the damn VS that use the lasher now. All they do is walk into a room and just starting spamming at nothing and hitting me. And im VS BTW.

I DID have Planetside just exit to desktop on me when I was HARTing. Very odd. Only happened once though.

Yeah, if there is one complaint I have it's that their QA is non-existant. Like Hamma said earlier, it's not a "back to beta" issue, it's just utterly horrid QA. If they actually bothered to test these patches we wouldn't have these problems (the fact that we have a Public Test server makes this even more depressing.) Mark my words, one of these days someone is going to release a MMOG (of ANY kind, not just like Planetside) that, in addition to being insanely fun also has great customer service and excellent, if not flawless, QA. If they don't clean up their act Sony will find themselves out in the cold one of these days.

Game crashes to the desktop every 15 minutes :o

I had that first problem twice last night. Another small bug, when I come out of the spawn tubes and hit the use key to access the terminals, it takes like 10secs to work. Which really sucks if somebody is spawning and your trying to get better armor/guns.

[HawkEye]

the only problems i have had are it takes a few seconds to acces terms. ANd i was in tower battle i die respawn at same tower, select my falcon max config. i get in my max but one problem, i cuoldn't shoot.

[J3Ff]

Same exact thing with the 10 second delay happens to me sometimes.

[Lise]

Ditto on the delay thing.

No new bugs with this patch for me, other then I don't think the advanced medic feature that shows corpses is working. Either that, or maybe you have to have your medical applicator out for the radar feature to work... although that would seem a bit useless. Anyone else manage to get it to work?

Then there's a bug that has my computer hardlocking at random between 15 minutes and around 2 and a half hours apparently because of my ATI 9700. The problem didn't exist during beta, and cropped up after the first major patch. A few patches later it was apparently fixed, but then the so-called FPS Patch of not too long ago brought about a ressurection.

When the game is running... it runs fine. Even in Zerg battles, there doesn't seem to be much lag on a cable modem. The only other problem is that the TR are now running from Vanu Lashers and would rather face Jackhammers instead. It's like a mass exodus to Hossin...

*UPDATE* Oh, how could I forget. Here's the new bug for me... if I jump in the Sanc, my screen goes grey and I die... while the game just slows to hell. :-(

I too have had this issue/bug. After coming out of the spawn tube, I can't seem to get access to the equip term for about 10s or less. It's annoying. It may not be a bug, but it's something new/different that is happening now. (BTW, I am a BR11 CE (implants-- surge, audio enhancer))

As for the CTD (crash to desktop) bug, I don't think mine is related to PS. I have the latest drivers for my video card and my motherboard. I think my problem is an overheating graphics card problem that causes my system to crash. Unless the house is about 65 to 70 deg F (AC on) I get a CTD and a restart of my system about 30min into gaming. I completely have to open the case and blow the house fan right into the case (crazy...i have the max amount of fans in my case already =/ ) . The reason I don't believe that it's planetside related is because it happens when I play other games.

Another bug (minor to all the others) that I have seen, since the new patch (played 3 hours with the new patch), is more of just an aesthetic bug (this one has been around since release).... There seems to be water covering the floor (hell, even one's footsteps make the splash sound when you enter) in the tech plant in the vehicle facility on Amerish. I can't remember what base, but it's to the south and near Hyoki (sp).

Finally, there is one other bug that seems to occur and is the most annoying of all. There are times when I can't seem to board the HART. I run in and run right out the other side, I try again, and I can run right through. I have to wait anohter 10 min for the next HART and I can get in then, but I have to wait another 10min....that's very annoying. I could have driven/flown there by then. However, I haven't seen it yet since the new patch.....*knocks on wood*.

Nixon, you just reminded me of the other one. I have seen the spawn to another plane of existance bug too. I have had it occur in the TR sanct on the second level when I jumped. The screen goes grey and computer locks up. When I reboot my system and restart the game and log in, my character dies. I then have to respawn again. I don't jump on the second level of the sanctuary anymore.... ;)

FYI:

My sys specs:

WinXP Pro (latest updates--critical)
P4- 2.8GHZ
Asus Mobo (P4C800 Deluxe-bios update ver 1008)
GeForce FX 5800 (128 MB) (driver ver--44.03)
1 GB RAM

p.s. Sorry for the long post. :p

[Nixon]

Yup, now that you mention it, I get the HART bug as well sometimes... though not often, so I guess it's easy to forget. What's more, I've surged through all three HART buildings and you just run right through when it happens.

[Harps]

yah i get the hart and jumpin in sanct bug to.. Very very annoying

[Twiggy]

Actually I havent ran into any problems, only a small grahpical problem that can be fixed by alt tabbing out and then back in

[ShadowKntSDS]

My friend and I played for several hour this weekened on computers I own. Both machines have a 1.6Ghz P4, SiS chipset, 1GB ram. One has a Geforce3 Ti500, and the other a 9700 non-pro.


3 major problems:

1). Crash to desktop as previously mentioned. Extremely annoying. Happened to both machines, but only once each in 5 hours of total play time.

2). Hacking doors failed to work ~25% of the time. The progress icon nver showed up, and it was impossible to hack the door. Once a door was like this it never was fixed. I usually had to wait until someone (an enemy) came out the other end. Moderatly annoying.

3). Corpses walking around. It turns out the people were alive (my friend saw me as a corpse) and were not invinsible or anything. Mostly cosmetic, disorientating.

[kidriot]

I seem to be dying constantly to the Vanu Lasher

[J3Ff]

likewise

[Hamma]

I am having none of those problems :p

Door lag sounds like a connection issue, not a problem with the patch.

Term lag is sparatic for me, but i have always gotten it.

Other teammates had the same problem on the same door. I'd respawn and the same door would have the same issue time and time again.

[SweetTater]

I've gotten stuck in a base turret several times. I'll be in one happily mowing down the enemy when all of a sudden it makes the sound of the door opening. I figure the base/tower got hacked. However, my viewpoint is changes to looking out the side of the turret and all commands stop working. Can't chat, "G" doesn't work, ESC doesn't work, nothing. Only thing I can do at this point is to alt-tab out and kill PS.

I don't believe it's a connection issue either because it (the long delay) only happens after I get out of a spawn tube and try to access an equip terminal. If it was a connection issue, I would be inclined to believe that it (the delay) would occur elsewhere as well.

[Kikinchikin]

only problem ive had is this morning i had to reboot cuz it wouldnt let me log in to Planetside. Then i tried again and i was like NOOOOO. then it was weird cuz without rebooting or doing any thing different i tried again and it worked so i was happy.

[MrVulcan]

I am having the same 3-4 sec door lag, and can not enter any vech in training w/o crashing, other than that, the lightning gun has the same problem with tracking that the gal does (argh).

[Navaron]

Nah, unless their stat thing is wrong, I was pinging in at about 40-60 and I was having long door opening problems.
