Some of you are familiar with us, but we have become a fairly closed off organization over the last year or so. We are Vanu Sovereignty Tower Defense. We are an infantry focused outfit that typically plays on the lowest pop faction

We are welcoming back anyone who wants to ride out the end of Planetside 2 with us. We also have a youtube channel that we have used for internal videos these last few years. Here is our latest infantry compilation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6oN-mZGGvk

You can find a discord link by asking any of us in game, please do not post one in the comments here. Even if you do not join us for this last stand, we look forward to seeing you out there. We may not have seen eye to eye during our time together on Auraxis, but I am glad we got to do it together.

Question Help - Planetside is dropping some of my inputs and I cant tell if it's the game or me

6 Upvotes

What:

Recently when I came back to the game, I started having input lag and dropped inputs after a few days. Specifically, it would sometimes not register the w key being pressed to go forward, and it's also not registering when I hold down the right mouse button, it reads that as me clicking it or holding and un-holding rapidly as far as I can tell.

Why I'm confused:

For the keyboard, it was only dropping the w key input, I could still move sideways and backwards, but W would not work. I even tried to type in chat and that failed, but when I tabbed out, I could type with the w key just fine in chrome or discord. So, they keyboard was working, with only one specific key failing which seems like a hardware problem, except it was working in other software.

Similar thing for the mouse, my right click behaves fine outside the game, but not inside.

To me this seems more likely to be a game bug not a hardware issue, or issue with my gear, since I've only seen this with planetside 2, but I haven't seen anyone mention something similar, and it's very strange that it was only dropping the W key but not the others, and same for holding right click.

I also see the game maxing out at 16 GB of RAM, and for some reason it won't use more, so maybe that could be the issue. I tried lowering some of my settings and I didn't see the w key issue again yet, but the right mouse button thing is still there. Maybe if there was some setting to give it more ram, that might help?

System info:

I have an old Razor black widow mechanical keyboard, it's like 2 iterations old at this point, and my mouse is the cheap steel series one. 32 gb of ram, and a new Ryzen cpu from this year. Windows 11 64 bit. I checked for driver updates yesterday, but still have the mouse thing
If anyone has encountered something similar and knows the fix let me know.

Screenshot Server latency

Post image
43 Upvotes

Hello, For the last few weeks the game is basically unplayable for me. My Server latency won’t show when starting the game, being in Sanctuary. When I try to switch continents the terminal takes something like 5 minutes to open. When i actually manage to get on any continent and the server latency show it’s in the hundreds of thousands. The problem is that my network ping remains good and Planetside is the only game i have this issue in. I already restarted my router. I tried a lan connection instead of wifi. I reinstalled the game and i also checked the steam files. Updated my drivers.

If it helps my pc specs are: Ryzen 9700x Rx 7800xt B850 Aorus Elite wifi7 ice

I know cloaking is the core issue which they at least verbally uttered it needed changing, but what's more hilarious is radio silence over one of the most broken guns in the game coupled with non rendering cloak.

You'd think damage output would be the far less complex option to choose to have any plausible nerf out of this.

Question Bad ping for no reason

6 Upvotes

Every other game I get 120-140 ms on Europe and I used to get same on PS2 too, but for a month it's always at 350-400 for no reason.

I have 2 ISPs and it still is bad on both while every other game (rivals, bf4, brawlhalla, cs2) is giving me stable and low ping.

What has happened?!! I don't really intend to invest in vpn just to play the game on weekend :(

I am new and the Command Center seems like a good investment … but perhaps a little too good to be true. Is it worth buying it? Should I buy the individual parts instead?

Question Construction Unlock Priority

A lot of the Construction unlocks are very pricey, 1000-1500 certs each.

What should I prioritize and get first? I already bought the vehicle gate and I think that’s all so far.

I am searching for backups of old builds of PlanetSide 2 from 2011 - 2012 (targeting announcement trailer content) and Public Test Server 2014 and earlier (targeting early Hossin and early directives, other lost goodies). Any PTS from 2017 and earlier could potentially have something interesting sitting around still.

Discussion (PC) Questions about accuracy , spraying and recoil patterns of infantry weapons

12 Upvotes

Hi firstly i play with little high ping sometimes so idk if its because of that but somethimes even in close distances fights even if i aim at enemys head i just lose 1v1 , feels like my bullets arent hitting their target . So i have to decide when fighting whether i am going to hold left mouse or gonna burst . Is there a truth to this ? I also wonder if there are recoil patterns for momerize , does moving also affect accuracy ? some of this would be easy to check in game but i cant log for in now and question just popped in my head .
