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

[QUOTE=kaine123;38565476]I never played Planetiside 1 much. Please elaborate?[/QUOTE] Having not seen them in PS1 myself, i was told they were retardedly OP

[QUOTE=Te Great Skeeve;38565561]Oh god those damn mechs Made me feel powerless Also, why can't we orbit drop from dropships anymore?[/QUOTE] when those fucking things came onto the battlefield you basically hid and hoped that your air support was competent

[QUOTE=xSlay3Rx;38560232]Idk if you have tried it or not, but I'm ONLY able to play this on a laptop, so I have to do several things to get it working good. First of all, have you disabled shadows? That helps a lot. Plus (sucks, but) running the rendering quality at 50%. Another big help I've noticed is once you launch the game, set the Planetside2.exe priority to high in your task manager. [editline]23rd November 2012[/editline] Guess I should have read further down. Here is the one I use... By the way, open this up and make sure the right resolution is set for you, otherwise everything is how I play on my laptop. Don't expect to use a sniper class (render distance kinda low.) By kinda, I mean a lot. Hope this helps man! [url]http://www.mediafire.com/?b8n9quzrrbmowe8[/url][/QUOTE] Thank you so much. I just loaded that up and broke a TR choke on a 3-point base with my max, scoring somewhere around 15 kills. That wouldn't have been possible at 15 fps.

[QUOTE=Swebonny;38565586]Well this is so much more optimized than the beta. Just got DCd and crashed though :/[/QUOTE] I'm still getting the same shitty performance on medium settings, unfortunately. Gtx 580 and i7 920 at 4.0 ghz should be doing a lot more than 30 fps on those settings. Unless anyone's come across some tricks to get more performance...

Really wanna rig up a galaxy for like a bomber role, if only I could replace all of the guns with mortars. Full armor certed with 4 mortars would make it such a horrifying thing. This game needs a good bomber considering that the liberator is damn near useless.

[QUOTE=The golden;38565767]They were stupidly overpowered vehicle things which could handle any role with a single person operating it. Pretty much killed the game because it tore the balance a new one.[/QUOTE] If they could balance them it would be a cool thing to have in the game at least. Definitely would make it feel more futuristic.

Going into the config file in the root of the install and settign render distance from default to 1000 helps a bit when it comes to framerate for me at least.

[QUOTE=The golden;38566345]Codeforge has confirmed that the game isn't using 100% cpu. This is the biggest problem with performance right now.[/QUOTE] Are they planning to fix that? :V

G37 out of nowhere. any fix?

[QUOTE=Skellyhell;38566399]G37 out of nowhere. any fix?[/QUOTE] Wait for them to sort it out. There's nothing we can do about it.

[QUOTE=Broguts;38566407]The libby with that AT gun in the gunner's chair is fucking deadly, killed like four vanguards and like ten lightnings before we got shot down.[/QUOTE] The zephyr is so much better than the dalton imo. Sure it takes 6 shots to kill a tank but thats how many is in the magazine.

Can sunderers normally outgun Lightning tanks, or was I just up against a player that had a ton of certs for it

[QUOTE=Newbienice99;38566453]Can sunderers normally outgun Lightning tanks, or was I just up against a player that had a ton of certs for it[/QUOTE] If both machine guns focus on a MBT they can take it out in a head on fight so a lightning is not much of a match for it.

[QUOTE=Newbienice99;38566453]Can sunderers normally outgun Lightning tanks, or was I just up against a player that had a ton of certs for it[/QUOTE] if both guns are manned, probably

[QUOTE=Newbienice99;38566453]Can sunderers normally outgun Lightning tanks, or was I just up against a player that had a ton of certs for it[/QUOTE] There is an AT turret upgrade for sundys. Also lightnings aren't called paper tanks for nothing.

If the MBT sucks. But yeah they can damage a MBT enough to make one think twice.

[QUOTE=goon165;38566475]if both guns are manned, probably[/QUOTE] Only one gun. Situation is that I find one, start following it, and get a bunch of shots on it. They switch to gunners seat and we just keep blasting each other. Ends with me not even getting them to like 35% before I have to bail and run away.

Unless anyone's come across some tricks to get more performance...[/QUOTE] Have you tried the latest beta drivers? They upped my performance from an average 35-45fps with everything on medium to like 60fps in empty areas and 30fps during the heaviest battles on medium-high settings on a 570

[QUOTE=The golden;38565390]Because those mechs pretty much singlehandedly marked the end of PS1.[/QUOTE] I don't see why they can't just make them not OP? It's not like they have to be OP now just because they were in PS1.

Because then you've just got another tank. [editline]23rd November 2012[/editline] Lol i've just calculated, if I had been using membership I would have a world score of 354,847 which would place me at 14th on the leaderboard.

That is near point blank though. The damage of the sundie guns degrades fast yet the MBT tank has the same damage at all ranges afaik.

Unless anyone's come across some tricks to get more performance...[/QUOTE] In the root folder, open up UserOptions.ini and go to town with it. I found the biggest performance boosters were renderdistance (should be much lower) and shadowquality (set to 0 for no shadows, easily 15 FPS right here).

Such bullshit. Some asswipe on my own damn team decides to shoot me down from the skies (I was flying my Scythe) and I can't believe how much of a douche you have to be. He was in his Lightning with an AA gun and just shot me down. I was confused as fuck because there were no enemies in the area. Then fast forward 20 minutes, I'm in my Lightning, owning some people. I drive over a hill and have insane air time and land on a bunch of enemies, netting me a bunch of XP, then Planetside takes a shit all over me for some reason and spazzes out. The world keeps flickering see-through grey and lagging like crazy. I thought someone popped smoke, but they didn't. My screen kept flickering crazy fast between normal colours and this weird see-through grey (it would paint the landscape grey and let me see through it). Quite frustrated, I ended up dying from the lag and weird greyness.

Put it to 1000, things seem much smoother now :|

How can i get certs faster? They seem to accumulate so slowly :(

[QUOTE=Skellyhell;38567781]How can i get certs faster? They seem to accumulate so slowly :([/QUOTE] repost from a few pages ago I grabbed a Prowler and was rollin in certs in no time. Goin engy and repairing+droppin ammo during assaults also can net ya tons of certs.
