ma nu, ho il SO da 32bit, per mettere più ram devo prendermi un 64 bit..

Guagliò 'o voi capì onnò che il probblema nun sta (prevalentemente) nella ramme guagliò ?!

Da twitter il capo di SOE:

We have a big frame rate improvement almost ready. The downside is it takes a new download.
We have been working on stability. That's good now. Back to improving the game. Frame rate is a huge priority

Tomorrow Thursday 06/12 we have new weapons. New sniper and carbines. Next week anti vehicle ( including anti air you rocket pod haters) weapon"

First of all, since I think this is my first official post since the game has been live, a quick introduction. My name is Matt Higby and I'm the Creative Director for PlanetSide 2, my job is to work with all of our game designers as well as the other team directors to help build the game. I'm also supposed to post on the forums and make funny movies on youtube.

I wanted to post today to talk about some changes to vehicle balance and especially air-to-ground gameplay. Air-to-ground interactions (and i'm talking about ground-to-air interactions with this too) are one of the most challenging balance touch points in the game. It's very easy with minor changes to make people on either end of this equation feel like they're getting hosed.

Goal for ground based anti-air:
We've talked before a bit about wanting ground to be an effective deterrent to air, and a very dangerous threat against pilots who are being risky (strafing, bombing low, hover spamming rockets, etc), but not necessarily be a hard counter to air. Ultimately friendly air power should be the best counter to enemy air power. I think that statement has been interpreted by some as us saying that the current balance is what we want, I want to be clear: that is not the case. Currently the air-to-ground balance is favoring air a bit too much, and aircraft have an imbalanced influence on the battlefield compared to ground.

In next week's update we're making some adjustments to the air-to-ground gameplay, some of these will affect ground vehicles and some even affect infantry vs infantry, but the main purpose is to bring air and ground into balance a bit more. None of these are enormous changes, but the cumulative effect should be closer to our goal of allowing ground to be an effective deterrent to air and a dangerous threat against pilots who are being risky.

Lock on Rocket Launchers (AV and AA):
- Range Increase
- Faster reload time (to compensate for lock on time)
- Now require lock on to fire

Flak:
- Minor damage increase
- Projectile speed increase

A30 Walker:
- Buffed Damage
- Faster Projectile

Rocket Pods:
- Decrease to the inner explosion radius: 3m to 1.5m. This is the center of the rocket explosion where the maximum damage occurs, so this will not affect direct hits. Effectively this makes the damage falloff at the center of the rocket pod explosion start closer to the center.

Flak Armor:
- Increase maximum explosion resistance for certed Flak armor from 25% to 50%. This makes Flak armor a more viable choice over Nanoweave for soldiers being attacked with explosives.

Decimator:
- New Heavy Assault common pool rocket launcher. High-damage anti-vehicle weapon, has a slow projectile speed and no lock on, but does massive damage to vehicles and other armored targets.

As I mentioned earlier, this is a very complex balance touch point, and we expect that balance changes will continue to occur to this area of the game until it feels great. We think these changes should help a lot to keep infantry and ground vehicles feeling competitive with their colleagues and enemies in the sky and will be a good first step in the journey of balance.

As always, we are eager to hear your feedback, questions and concerns.

Hello everyone,

As you may have heard this weekend we are running a double xp weekend to say thanks for your patience during our launch. Our stability is in good shape now. Client crashes are down 95%. We have a patch coming next week to address a bunch more bugs and make some balance changes Matt Higby mentioned in another post. In addition we will be making big improvements in the infantry render distance issue. We get that it isn't good sometimes so this will be a big improvement. We also have a new anti vehicle weapon coming.

We continue to work on bugs and optimizations. We have something we hope will be a big improvement coming in January. It's significant and needs real QA time before we can put it out. That's only one optimization. The team continues to improve this and won't stop.

In early January we will be putting up our plan for the next 6 months and open that plan up to your comments and change requests. It's not written in stone and you're going to have the opportunity to weigh in and have us change it based on your collective feedback. We are hard at work on a lot of cool stuff like orbital strikes... Vehicle transport.. And other fun things.

One other important issue I wanted to address - cheating. We are all aware of the cheaters who us aimbots and other tools. We are tracking and banning these people. I don't want to pretend there is a magic answer to this. We have a great deal of tools at our disposal and people who fight this every day. I assure you this is a top priority and with each patch you'll see us address more of the things we see and a lot of stuff that you may not. Please continue to report using the /report function. You may not see the drone strike but when the idiot disappears quietly and without fanfare just know our anti hacking team has no mercy and enjoys the job. Please help us fight the good fight and understand that this is a war and its one we won't stop fighting.

Thanks for playing

Piccola nota di cronaca per chi ha problemi con il gioco. Anche se ufficialmente supporta i sistemi 32bit, gira molto meglio sui sistemi 64bit. Quasi tutti quelli che conosco che hanno problemi a PS2 hanno un SO a 32bit.

Ciao,
confermo quanto detto da Kayato.
Avevo installato PS2 su un Win7 Ultimate 32 bit, e dopo pochi minuti il gioco rallentava tantissimo fino a bloccarsi.
Avevo notato che, da solo, il gioco occupava circa 1,8 Gb di RAM e ho deciso di passara a 64bit. La cosa è immediatamente migliorata e adesso riesco ad avere mediamente 25-30 fps, avendo i dettagli grafici medio-bassi e rendering 70%.

Trailer tamarri are the way:

Quello TR dovreste metterlo da qualche parte sul sito! Personalmente quello fatto meglio penso che sia quello NC.

Ma ci sono ancora i lanciafiamme per il MAX?

[ziogianus]

come già detto in game ci sono molte armi che ancora non hanno messo in gioco a breve (non hanno detto quando ) probabilmente metteranno il Decimator un lancia missili dedicato ai corazzati (utile contro i MAX) probabilmente anche il lanciafiamme che è discretamente dannoso contro la fanteria
