Planetside 2 - (PC) Free to Play MASSIVE Multiplayer Shooter - Beginners Guide
Repost Police suck my dick
Planetside is a REALLY addictive first person shooter..... on PC only right now MAYBE coming to SOny Playstaion eventually... The battles are massive.....hundreds of people on the same battlefield. Combined arms, infantry, tanks, air, transport/supply vehicles. Check this game out...lots of roles , not just grunt/infantry....You can really play engineers or medic or troop transport etc...squad leader.....pilot....gunner...bomber.....etc etc.... If you play on server "connery" as the NC (new conglomerate) I would be glad to squad up with you and show you a little of what I know. Its kind of a steep learning curve.....but it is REALLY fun once you learn to move around and find the "front lines" of the war and get into a squad.... 1) https://www.planetside2.com/ 2) make a character on server Connery , New conglomerate (blue team) 3) check it out a little bit , go to the "VR" virtual reality center and try out all weapons and vehicles 4) try 'instant action' and try joining a few different squads 5) post any questions or PM me if you wanna **** around and kill some shit *If you hate the NC for some reason, I do have characters in the other factions (vanu & Terran) so I can hook up with you in those as well, theyre just not as advanced...I prefer NC but can play any of them as long as its Connery server. Check it out FREE! Guides & Tips ----------------------- 1) How to find a good battle (planetside is a big BIG world) . Last edited by Ming the Merciless; 07-28-2013 at 10:25 AM.. |

I don't know why Planetside 2 says I don't meet the minimum requirements in my GeForce Experience, when every single other game I own says I can play on ultra settings just fine.

I remembered there was something if you run win 7 , you might want to google core parking or maybe look on the planetside forums... Are you able to play on medium or high? Or just not good FPS on ultra...? this game is a hog. but theyre constantly tweaking it

So i'm looking at upgrading my video card as I've noticed problems in several games. My computer seems to meet all the specs for this game other than the video card so that's most likely where my biggest problem lies. Anyone have any ideas on what I should look for?

OC'd my CPU to it's max safe settings and did that unpark thing and now I'm getting about 45 FPS on HIGH SETTINGS in the warp zone so I think that fixed it, thanks pawn.
I'm off of work today and down to play. I got really frustrated last night and didn't want to keep playing because of the horrible fps. |

A buddy of mine recomends the GTX 760 if you are high-top end ($250 bucks or so) But you could probnably pick up a 650+ for a LOT cheaper.... I guess it depends on your budget, other games you play and how much FPS you are looking for....Keep in mind planetside is also very CPU intensive so even if you have the most insane card, you may bottleneck at your CPU.... depending on your board, CPU is upgradeable.

YES!!!! I had to unpark mine too, I am so glad I remembered, and that it worked for you man. I am jealous of your settings, I can't even come close to that Edit: I have some early work....but Ima try and finish by 1:00 PM...and then I would be able to play for a couple hours! My SOn gets home at 4:00 from Day Care, and wife from work....so I do some family time until he goes to bed.....at about 7:30-8:00 , and I can play after that too. Me and homestead rolled for a while yesterday, but the NC were getting owned.... It was really fun though . -------------- Things you can do to improve your FPS further: motion blur off flora off render distance lower, to like 1000 etc

Well, you are in the same boat I was in a few weeks ago... here is what the minimum specs SAY they are: Quote:
Have you ever put a new board / chip into your computer on your own? Your system is barely under the minimum......but from what I hear (and have experienced) you need to be closer to the 'middle of the road' specs to even have a chance at 30 FPS: Quote:
As for where I shop, I get most everything off of either: www.amazon.com or www.newegg.com Newegg has deals sometimes if you have decent credit they will do 12 months free interest. If you live outside california, I do not think they charge sales tax. If you need any help let me know.... Planetside is a god damn PIG .....but its fun if u have the box to play it I went SUPER cheap on my rig (350ish - and I re-used hard drives case etc), and I can eek out about 30 FPS on low/medium

I could spend a few hundred on upgrading but I'm not looking for a master gaming rig or anything.

That didn't last for long, had to put back on Medium settings and there is an Alert right now so everyone is in this biolab and I'm getting 20 FPS. It's frustrating, but I can deal with it, I really like the game.
