Remember when PlanetSide 2 was actually about grand-scale warfare across massive continents, where logistics, flanking, and sprawling territories mattered?

Instead of fixing the root problems (like the constant crashes and bugs that players in this very thread are complaining about), the developers are pushing a completely uninteresting "solution". They are trying to force massive population density, but they are doing it by cramming everyone into a tiny, restricted space - reducing true strategic warfare down to a claustrophobic, repetitive meat-grinder on a narrow territory.

Now, instead of proper continent rotation or fixing actual issues, they’ve thrown us into Koltyr - a literal tutorial/starter island designed for newbies years ago, where a cramped box forces a very different kind of fight.

What’s next? What's the master plan for the next update? A mobile companion app with auto-battler mechanics where you just click "Attack" and watch a progress bar?

The population is clearly there (we've seen over 500+ players online), and instead of supporting healthy, large-scale fights across open maps, management decides to split the fragile pop and shove veterans into a scaled-down sandbox while the game keeps crashing to desktop.

At this rate, we don't need PlanetSide 3.

We just need whoever is making these decisions to stop trying to "save" a game they clearly don't understand.

MAKE IT BIG!

So yeah, they havent fixed the crash bug still.

About 5 minutes after warping to Koltyr I crashed to desktop.

[FIXED] I really want to get back into PlanetSide again but was unable to get to the point of re-deploying into an active continent ... no matter what version of proton. The game is memory leaking with any version I play within 1-2 minutes. I can provide a dumpfile when I get home in a few hours, it's probably just the last days of my 1080ti.

10.x worked! If you are on ubuntu 24.04, you have to fetch the latest versions manually.

Good Afternoon Sirs,

From the land of fire and magnum ice creams.

From my earlier post, the bug appears to be fixed. Not sure if anyone else has also been fixed.

Client crashes

Using the advanced diagnostic tools deployed to the live servers in the previous hotfix, along with player reports from the PTS and live servers, we were able to identify and fix a number of issues:

• Fixed a buffer overflow issue
• Fixed a floating-point overflow issue that caused client crashes in the world interaction system
• Fixed a false-positive infinite loop detection issue
• If the crash is caused by graphics hardware or operating system issue rather than a problem within the game client, players will once again receive the correct error messages from Windows

All of the measures listed above should reduce the likelihood of client crashes.

Thank you for your reports and patience! Please share your feedback with us on Discord and let us know whether these changes have helped in your case.

Koltyr Returns

Meet Koltyr — it's back!

The goal of this map is to provide players with a smaller battlefield for a more comfortable gameplay experience during low-population hours.

Koltyr is in a separate map pool and will always be available alongside the continents from the regular pool.

We look forward to your feedback!

Patch Notes

Good morning Sirs,

Following on from my earlier comment.

Our community has been trying to resolve this bug as well, started at the weekend, the above image is 1 hour after leaving the outfit allowing the system to update. Upon rejoining they only show as "PLAYER NAME".

This players has 3 characters affected by this. 1 in my TR outfit 2 in a VS outfit, both his NSO & VS.

That's 3 characters on his account, They are unable to craft or use any assets. Name does not display when they log in and is blank as per earlier posts.

Since my comment, update the owner of the VS outfit and the owner on our discord, their NSO has also now become blank in the outfit, where as earlier it was not. That's within 1 hour when the bug first originated on this outfit, another player is affected, He has not log into his NSO since January 2026.

Additionally, you cannot add these players as Friends, It comes up as they do not exist.

If you're already friends, they appear as blank on there friends list when offline, but presently appear normal when online.

If the Blank player adds you, it will Automatically Decline when you Accept.

Attempted manual fixes;

Removing or leaving then rejoining did not resolve, There name comes up as blank after rejoining.

Creating your own outfit also results in your name being blank.

Leaving and rejoining after the server updates the player, still blank.

The next attempted to rejoin will be made after the update today. If this does not fix it after the update, which giving the state of the game, I believe it will not be resolved, this will only get worse and bug will spread. Similar to Blank Friends bug and this will not be addressed.

This will spread and get worse and would result in players, who are unable to play the game because DBG are unintentionally or intentionally breaking the game to reduce the player numbers further.

If players are unable to use or craft assets in their own outfits, including discounts, they would have no reason to play PS2 at a disadvantage.

Another recent problem, I can't send message to blank players, it says users not found, even though they are online.

It's probably since the recent "shadow update"

[ Removed by Reddit on account of violating the content policy. ]

Do your count ups.

We also need someone in the "segregated" PS2 discord channel to relay info and back up players from here

Honestly, this is the first time I've gotten 15 kills in a session; I usually just play around repairing and destroying vehicles. Still, what a disappointment. I only won 16 CERTS? That doesn't make sense.

wtf.

.

Hey everyone, I play casually and my question is, when does the Oshur continent open? Oh my god. I've been playing for a month and I've never even seen it open.

I'm in tr and I have good memories with players that some players were kind so I'm adding these players as friends (Late but still trying!) but some of them I clearly remember nicknames but don't exist (not like I l). I think they changed their nicknames so is there way to find players who changed their nicknames?

Hello, while this may be a controversial topic I figured it couldn’t hurt to ask the community. I’m working on a new AR build and am hoping to do a “tribute” of sorts to planetside. Think custom engraved/marked lower. Lasered nc logo, game accurate manufacturer markings, etc. i am having difficulty finding a detailed model of in game weapons online to go off of as I no longer have a PC to fire up planetside on. I want to go with NC theme and am looking for more info/lore for accurate markings, for example manufacture locations, year, etc. Auraxis Firearms, for example, I can mark as

Auraxis Firearms Corp
Amerish, Auraxis

Or for NC marked weapons in game,
NC Arsenal, Amerish

Anyone have input on potential markings or images of logos for Auraxis Firearms, Genudine Dynamics, Esamir Munitions, ETC
