Just search downloads in the windows search box.

That worked perfectly, thanks

I was having the same issue. I got mine to uninstall by following the directions listed here in reverse; http://help.station.sony.com/app/ans...ail/a_id/36735

However, the "Appdata" folder may not be visible to some. A shortcut for reaching that on Win 7 (possibly Win XP and 8) is typing "%appdata%" WITHOUT THE QUOTATIONS into the "run" box or that search bar on the start menu in Win 7. This will take you to Appdata/Roaming, Just simply go up a file to /Appdata and select Appdata/LocalLow (or whatever it is called) and delete the file they ask you to.

Besides the Appdata thing, the uninstall was a snap. The computer will also complain when you try to uninstall about missing or damaged files, just click yes to uninstall and it disappears off the list. Delete the icon on the desktop and you are done!

This worked for me and one of my viewers. I hope this also works for you guys as well.

PS. I made an account just to reply to this post lol

I no longer had the installer (thanks to Microsoft Windows Update borking my pc and forcing a clean install of Windows). I followed the advice to delete the game folder and manually remove some registry entries, seems to have worked OK. I'm also hoping Radar's promise that the launchday installer will clean up any old mess that's lying around.

Followed steps on official page linked by Radar X, then..
I went back to uninstall and it removed program from list.
The new installer will overwrite anything else that matters, because they will not screw it up on day 1.

Not to be offensive to the devs or anything but... LOL! Everyone screws up on some level on day 1, nothing is ever perfect, specially at the beginning. But you're right, i'm sure they'll make it all right soon enough.

Seconded, does anyone have a working link to download the Planetside 2 beta installer? I deleted mine a long time ago...

Minor · 2012-11-19, 02:53 AM

You don't need to do anything complicated guys, just delete the game folder and as per soe devs the new retail launcher will delete any old crud leftover from beta.

Worked perfectly, thank you! I registered to thank you, and to upload the beta installer for anyone who doesn't have it anymore:

http://www.sendspace.com/file/260djn

I got a connection error after selecting the reinstall/repair option, but it uninstalled fine anyway.

Now if only Planetside 2 didn't need a bazillion dollar supercomputer from space to run it smoothly I might reinstall at release...

No problem, it wasn't without the help of my clan brother Jim beam. Just happy to help another PC gamer out.

Double post

Adding some additional info as I got the error to. Seems like at least in my case there were only 117MB left of the beta directory so I have manually deleted it. Can probably run some registry cleaner software on my own.
