Planetside 2 Thread v2 - Beta floodgates open GOOD LUCK EVERYBODY - Games

85%, this gon be close [editline]20th November 2012[/editline] Oh fiddlesticks its went from 20mb/s to 500k.

[QUOTE=Cushie;38528563]Does anyone know of a method to force Steam to recognize copied+pasted content? I'm trying to just use the content files from the beta, there is no reason they shouldn't be valid for the most part, but this new way Steam handles downloads just seems to completely break being able to copy and paste content.[/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure the beta files will be the wrong version anyway so you would have to download a lot, if not all of the files anyway

[QUOTE=Skwee;38528580]Got an email saying that i get special rewards for beta testing, but when I click the link it just brings me to the regular PS2 website.[/QUOTE] I guess we'll find out when we get in-game. I'm actually curious now though, didn't they say that they had no plans for beta participation bonuses?

How are you guys changing your CDN?

Steam settings -> Download

Ah, nevermind then, I'm on the SOE downloader. Poop.

also 98%

fucking impossible to ge an account that works I live in England, UK. Went to planetside2.com, attempt to register, neither England, United Kingom or Great Britain are on the country list. manage to wrangle my way into getting an SOE account through support. download game client, go to log in and it says im in a prosieben1 region and to get that client. so i do, go to log in. bad info. try to make an account there and it redirects me to the us site, where england isnt a place. eventually manage to make a PSG acocunt through DC Universe, go to log in, ERROR LOGGING INl, please try again.

6 hours to download, fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

What server is everyone playing on? (I'm from east coast amurica)

I doubt I'll get double FPS considering I ran the game all the way back into the tech test pre-beta with flawless FPS anyways on a system that isn't exactly uber (but still decent) All they probably did was finally optimize the game for other hardware configurations (like core2 processors) so it is actually optimized for most people now instead of just people who had the right type of processor or video card

Went from 1.6 MB/s to 100k, time to leech of those rich Norwegians

[QUOTE=Thailandur;38528773]Went from 1.6 MB/s to 100k, time to leech of those rich Norwegians[/QUOTE] I went from around a solid 5 MB/s to 500 KB/s, nothing to get from us I guess. :v:

800kb/s Fucking hell [editline]20th November 2012[/editline] Which download server should I switch to?

United Kingdom, UK, Great Britain, Britain, England ... None of these are on the list for me, unless I missed a possible name for my country (fucking possible with how many we've got) I think they hate us English

On occasion, my download rate seems to take a bit of cocaine and shoot up to about 20 MB/s, it's quite lovely.

I managed to make a new character in game, but it crashes when trying to join a server (EU server atleast does)

Apparently copying the files over works... sort of. Steam shows less time on the download but still shows downloading 7 gigs.

Oh you get a whole intro speech and dropped STRAIGHT into combat sadly enough it dropped me next to a vanu army whilst I am NC :v: [editline]20th November 2012[/editline] Also, if it doesn't work trough steam, use the planetside 2 launcher in steam's files.

[QUOTE=scratch (nl);38528882]Oh you get a whole intro speech and dropped STRAIGHT into combat sadly enough it dropped me next to a vanu army whilst I am NC :v:[/QUOTE] Yeah, I think it drops everyone on the same spot. I dropped in front of 3 TR troopers. :c

and I just got disconnected from the planetside 2 server.

So any of the people who have downloaded it notice a FPS increase from beta? I'm still keeping my fingers crossed that I'll see one.

Update to my plight. chatting to SOE support for 30 mins. eventually he says to use the proseiben sites support. which gives a 502 error. after alot of refreshing i finally get to the support page. attempt to make a ticket and i need to pick a topic from a choice of 0. sent an email to them, now im just spamming login to see if thatll work :( [editline]20th November 2012[/editline] and trying to log in on the EU site links me to a lore page. without logging me in. and the page is in french.

I would love to see arma 2 have planetsides multiplayer potential! Shit would be wack!

Why not just have someone else make one for you, and then you can change passwords?
