Planetside Dev Tracker

PTS has been updated and bounced for the 2pm performance playtest (10 mins from now). Any existing OS crafted before the bounce will be available, but new OS's cannot be crafted. Again, our goal is to focus populations (infantry, vehicles, etc) and observe frame rates.

Thanks to all who participated in the first PTS playtest this morning. We're in the process of disabling the ability to craft new Orbital Strikes for the playtest at 2pm (Pacific). Making the changes now and will bounce the PTS server within the next hour to complete the change.

Location doesn’t matter. Keeping the players concentrated in an area and fighting (infantry, ground/air vehicles, etc) is what is needed to test this.

FYI - the Connery, Genudine and Emerald servers have not crashed, but there are issues within the data centers where they are located are causing disconnects. Which is why some are able to immediately login again. The Ops team is continuing to troubleshoot.

ALERT: Were aware of reports of disconnects on Emerald and are working on a resolution now. Players should be able to immediately reconnect.

@AndySites Servers are still up. Many players did experience disconnects, but they should be able to immediately re-connect.

We see the reports about Emerald - Daybreak Ops is working to resolve now.

@AndySites We believe this issue has been resolved, but please report back if you’re experiencing any issues on Connery.

The Daybreak Ops team is investigating an issue in the North American data center where #planetside2 Connery and Genudine are located. Hope to have more details soon. Apologies for the disruption.

🚨 CALL TO ARMS 🚨

Soldiers, join us on PTS tomorrow (Sat, Aug 22) at 8am or 2pm PDT and help ready our new performance update for LIVE!

Simple objective: one big, messy firefight 💥💥💥

PTS download:

Patch notes:

ALERT: A new update is up on the Test Server (PTS) that includes significant performance improvements that should help with hitching in large fights (60+ players in an area). We plan on bringing to Live after a weekend of testing.

Patch Notes:

Keep an eye on the @planetside2 account for more details. The PTS publish is ready for download if you would like to patch up/login.

So we would like to see some concentrated pops on PTS with the changes over the weekend to ensure that there aren't any major issues at scale. There are still further optimizations needed, but we believe this round of changes should help (cont)...

While the #planetside2 team continues to reestablish our comms uplink, we've prepared a small PTS publish that includes optimizations related to physics processing in order help with hitches in large fights (60+ in a region). The code changes were fairly significant (cont)...

we want to get them onto PTS for more testing at scale. Once they are ready, we will message the #planetside2 community. ETA is likely later this afternoon (Pacific).

Our Tech Director has been working on a round fairly significant performance improvements over the past week+ and we're preparing to publish to PTS later today. That said, they are fairly extensive, which means potentially volatile. Which is why (cont)...

@STrumpetboy @planetside2 but seriously, we will hook them up. Have them DM me

What dangers lie over the horizon? Best to buff your ride while you have the chance, soldier! 🚍
