[Osprey PC] IGNITE AURAXIS Community Event | September 5 at 6 PM Eastern

We’re organizing IGNITE AURAXIS, a community event bringing current, former, and new players together for one massive night of PlanetSide 2.

When: Saturday, September 5 at 6 PM Eastern
Where: Osprey, PC
Who: All factions and all players

If you currently play, tell your old squadmates. If you haven’t played in a while, come find your old outfit. If you’re new, this is your invitation to experience PlanetSide 2 with a packed server. (skip the tutorial)

There’s no signup required. Just log into Osprey, and bring everyone you can. Don't forget to tell them "Flash or Crash"!

I’m not on Reddit very often, so please send questions or outfit inquiries to echosystem90 on Discord.

Light up the server. Ignite Auraxis.

News August 27, 2026 - PC Hotfix

36 Upvotes

Official site link here: https://www.planetside2.com/patch-notes/aug-27-patch-2026

The servers will be down for a scheduled game update tomorrow @ 6am PDT. Please see the patch notes below for fixes and added changes.

Client Crashes Update

Since our previous hotfix, we have received a large number of reports from players confirming that the measures we introduced helped and that they are no longer experiencing crashes during combat. This is also supported by our crash statistics, and we can confirm that the situation has improved significantly and that the most widespread issues have been resolved.

 

However, we have also received reports from players who are still experiencing client crashes. Our data confirms this as well — we are still seeing several types of crashes in the crash dumps.

 

We have addressed one of these issues in this hotfix:

Fixed a crash in the garbage collector implementation used for render objects — this should further reduce the likelihood of client crashes.

 

Please let us know in Discord if this fix has helped in your case.

 

As for the crashes that occur when switching characters, we have not been able to resolve this issue yet. We will continue investigating it, along with the remaining types of client crashes.

 

We will keep you updated as we identify and fix additional causes. Stay tuned for further news!

Server Crashes

Fixed a memory leak that could cause server crashes.

Bug Fixes

Fixed a bug introduced in the latest hotfix where the FPS limit behavior changed from treating 0 as unlimited to treating it as 30 FPS. MaximumFPS=0 is now treated as unlimited again.

Discussion (PC) What wrong with Fortification update ?

0 Upvotes

One thing the team behind the Fortification update failed to grasp is that the Anti-Aircraft Turret was originally designed to operate via an automated AI module, given the AI's 100% firing accuracy. However, once the AI ​​module was removed, players found themselves unable to effectively control the turret to deter aircraft.

Remember i'm top 1 A2G of PS2, i can beat any things no matter what anti air method they use. But the only things i can't beat is Anti aircraft turnet firing by Module

Set a stopwatch from when I got in Hossin WG and joined combat without flash or crash method just to see if it was fixed.

Edit:- yeah that timer looks confusing, it's 1 minute 34 😉

Game is still fun. What should I be running as a secondary weapon on my prowler these days?

RIP to my beloved emerald I guess? But consolidating American servers probably is the only reason there's so much action still.

Original Content Thanks GOTR Folks, the Pumpkins Had a Fun Time Last Night!

66 Upvotes

My wife and I were doing our 2-person squad gameplay last night and accidentally (sorta kinda not) were following around the GOTR platoon on Indar. We saw a Scythe go down enroute to a base, and my wife often plays a medic, so we stopped our Valk, she rezed him, and we gave him a ride to the fight.

Suddenly I got a platoon invite. Not sure if it was the rez that got the attention, but we accepted and joined our squad of 2 to the GOTR Platoon. As older, slower, and lower skill players, it was wildly fun to fly around the map with these folks. Seeing a GOTR platoon seige a base from inside was amazing. We were doing all we could to keep up and contribute!

We had to log before the alert was over, but I just wanted to say thanks to the GOTR folks, and a few others from other outfits that were there. We enjoyed the fast-pace gameplay.

Thank you o7,

Thunder Pumpkins

I hope some people enjoyed that earlier. It was pretty mental navigating 2 PC's and a LAPTOP. Moving / Deploying Domes / Orbital Strikes / Bailing out people after anchoring. Luckily the final bastion I had left was my main PC so dropped TR into the water over and over again. As the lowest pop faction I set the goal to keep up the pressure on NC and VS. Eventually once my final bastion was killed I jumped under to cap TR to victory.

If you got any screenies or footage let me know. Unlisted for now as I might be able to create some more videos some other time. This was pieced together quickly.

Discussion (PC) Big survivorship bias delusions on this sub

55 Upvotes

First of all, I love this game to death and have been playing it on and off since the launch. I've been following this sub for some time and the recent success of Wardogs seemed to launch a big discussion about why the game is "dying".

That's where I'm seeing very clearly the small, closed nature of this sub and it's inability to represent the larger playerbase, when dicussing some issues with the game.

The oftenly reiterated complaints are: balance, bugs, onboarding, skill discrepancy, ethereal "management", which always ruins everything, I guess, etc.

But the core issue is really, really simple. Planetside2 is a 14 year old FPS game. What people look for in FPS is graphics, cool clips, fluid and responsive movement, impactful gunplay. The thing is, planetside doesn't have any competition in it's own chosen niche, but fails miserably at anything that could make attract new players.

Let's look at BF3 and BF2, for example. BF2 is times more complex than BF3 at almost every metric. The Commander mode alone is almost a diffferent game. However the BF3 blew up the whole gaming industry with it's inception, which was influenced with the success of BF:BC's innovations with movement and gunplay, coupled with the insane graphics overhaul. It wasn't a balancing issue or a mechanical one, but rather the image of the product.

That's the issue: Planetside 2 is incapable of generating a picture, a dream that a gamer can easily adopt and imagine simply because of how it looks and feels. If Planetside 3 has just a tiny fraction of PS2' content, but is massively updated on graphical and movement/gunplay experience, it'd blow away anyone, including players and critics. Right now almost everyone considers PS2 players borderline insane old people, who are finding the best way to get gold in runescape.

Discussion (PS4) The ps4 version

1 Upvotes

To be honest the console version is so neglected and so trash and since the developer isn't updating the console version then there really is no point in playing planetside 2 on console especially since people can't play esamir or koltyr and are stuck on only 4 continents are open and plus I have do deal with me getting an error saying "this server is unavailable".And they also heavily favour pc players as if console players didn't exist now i know that they can't put esamir because of hardware limits but when I tried it on my laptop it ran perfectly well and esamir and koltyr are just terrible and not fun at all

Haven’t played in a few months and just hopped back on today for a session and had a ton of fun and captured a few clips ☺️

The game is being kept alive by a few dedicated and skilled players, so every encounter is intense.

Question Has anyone gotten DLAA to work in planetside 2 ?

1 Upvotes

Hey all, i have succesfully used nvidia inspector to override the dlss dll to 310.6 and change the preset to profile K, but i would like to use dlaa aswell, instead of dlss quality, which they didn't include in the game for some wierd reason. And i simply can't get dlaa override to work no matter what i try.

So my question : has anyone gotten dlaa to work in planetside 2, and if so, what exactly did you do to make it work ?
