I'd agree 100% with that Sprint.

I played today on my laptop (I know) and after some mucking about deleting and resetting the ini file it was running smoothly till enemy are about then it starts to choke up.

The weird thing is that it has no problem dealing with friends its just the foes. Also the edges of the map are fine and I'm guessing thats the CPU only working half as hard due to 180deg of threat as opposed to 360deg of threat.

I've also noticed today that the player interface (map,certs,weps,etc) screen is slow to load and get going. It was quite snappy prior to the update.

Anyways good to see it only took a short time to smooth it out. Fingers crossed they can find the other bugs quickly.

Good to hear overall it's running better for people.

Not for me... still in the low 20FPS, tried all sorts of ini settings, from ultra to the lowest graphic settings, made no difference. This is the only game I can't play on MAX settings.

PS and I still get the "Flash" that then requires a log out and log back in to resolve. And to think I paid for a membership.

This will be the last time I ever do such. Tired of all the games that come out in some form of "beta". Think about it, what other product do you buy that you have to wait MONTHS for it to work. No other product/service I can think of that does not work out of the box the moment I purchase it... except games.

Works good for me too now. Thanks.

still a laggy mess for me, more or less stopped playing

My game no longer is choppy, but the FPS is no better than before the game update patch.
I hope they have something else as far as optimization goes, because if this is it I'd like to know why they aren't making use of the higher end video cards.
After 2 hours of play I still dip down into the mid 20's of FPS with a GTX 680 :\

Yup, went to test, nearly empty Biolab, unloaded half a mag into an enemy twice, on both occasions I die and they never even took a scratch (never saw the indicators, had full shields and health on the killed by screen). Unplayable.

Does anyone maybe have some tips or where to go to at least make sure one's system (hardware) is not an issue?

I'd suggest that you check and make sure your drivers are up to date and that your hardware meets the minimum requirements per http://wiki.planetside-universe.com/...m_Requirements

Argentum · 2013-02-06, 01:31 PM

Yah, more than meets the min.. and checked the drivers. It was doing much better before the patch

Argentum · 2013-02-06, 01:40 PM

I went to Nvidia and got a new thing they call Gforce Experience that auto detects best game settings, auto updates your drivers... it did make a few changes... will let ya know how(if) it works

bpostal · 2013-02-06, 01:55 PM

Good luck! Even with this patch for the patch my framerate leaves me with headaches and nausea if I play for longer than a half hour.

Doesn't really works. It takes the recommended settings from SOE. That's all.

Kerrec · 2013-02-06, 03:12 PM

The idea behind the GForce Experience software is that people that like to tweak settings and squeeze every bit of performance out of their setups will create and upload their settings to Nvidia.

Then people that don't like tweaking stuff like that, try out these uploaded settings and give feedback.

Eventually the most optimized settings will become the most popular and it's easy peasy for people to set up their games from then on.

But as a start, Nvidia have the recommended settings as a starting point.
