Patch is over 60mb. No word on if it is a complete fix or just part of the fix. Just went up.

I hope it works, but really I am most interested in knowing exactly what was causing it. I'd put my money on PhysX + vehicles.

My money is on some sort of LOD bug caused by the base/outpost modifications.

We just put up a new @planetside2 client that should resolve the major framerate "stuttering" issue many players have reported since GU02.

I'd say something to do with bases too. I'm not an expert on this stuff, but it seemed to be localised on certain areas/bases from what i've experienced.

Testing this now but first observation (am in WG):-

1. Laser sights are X3 or X4 as long now.... like running around with lightsabers.
2. Stuttering seems to have been removed (hooray).
3. LOCK bug where when a LOCK was achieved it disapeared off screen has been fixed (LOCK now remains)
4. Medkit bug still an issue

(Will edit this post with anything else)

Nothing really to add yet, been playing for 30 mins now.... no issues, no stutter, framerates seem to have increased by 10 or so (running at 60-70FPS atm, 40-50 in Big battles)

Not noticed anymore bugs Apart form the Laser attachment being ridiculously long

yay, i still need to check if the stuttering is gone for me, but this is good news.

That's there for you to aim at the eyes with. As Vanu, you should be accustomed to long beams of light that do not drop and goo for a ridiculous distance with next to no damage.

k two big bugs that need to be fixed IMO, if someone can pass this along to some important dev guy. Yes I reported these already.

1.) All explosions seem to be going through all walls. Grenades, HE shells, everything seem to be doing damage through walls.

2.) Touching a vehicle from the top seems to do an insane amount of damage if you're an infantry. I just attempted to run up behind a Prowler(success), and place C4 on it. He never moved, never saw me, as soon as I landed on top of the Prowler I instantly died(Skull and Crossbones death). I've had the same thing happen with the Sunderer's when I try to C4 them.

[LOCK] appears and can stay there even when you're obviously not under lock.

I haven't experienced #1 but touching an enemy vehicle is insta death now. I caught a Reaver hovering way low, jump packed over to him, about to C4, oops touched him. DEAD.
