Hello everyone,

Just a quick note on status of the new Russian and Chinese translations. We heard your feedback in the post I made this past Saturday about the proper-name translations (weapons, vehicles, etc) .

Based on this feedback, we are working with the translation company to provide an updated pass to update all of the various weapons, vehicles, locations, etc back to their proper naming. This should go relatively quickly once it begins, but it will definitely not be ready to publish to live tomorrow as we had hoped.

We will provide more information once we have an updated timeline.

Thanks,

Andy

Hey everyone,

With this weeks dev stream wrapped up, there were a few topics I wanted to discuss that we didn’t mention during the broadcast, as well as some things that have just recently surfaced.

Chinese and Russian Translations

As announced back in March, we began the effort to formally translate PS2 to Chinese and Russian languages. As you can imagine, after nearly 8 years live, there was quite a bit of work required to get all of the text translations updated. The global situation also caused delays to the translation company’s delivery schedule. However, I’m happy to say that we finally published the full CN and RU translations to the public test server for you to check out and provide feedback. Our goal is to get these published to the Live servers as early as mid-next week. We are aware of a few bugs and are in the process of addressing them before next week’s publish, but we would appreciate any additional feedback and /bu...

I call it the “Boyz of Planetside”

Yes

Ah, yes, forgot to mention that part. He is a programmer.

As I mentioned a few weeks ago, due to the resurgence of PS2 over the past couple months, we've been able to begin slowly ramping the team back up. In this case, and fortunately for us, Garrett Brush (Game Programmer) has rejoined the Planetside 2 team at Rogue Planet. His first day back on the job was yesterday.

That's all. We're just excited and wanted to share with you all :)

Corrected the dev stream timing to the week of April 27th.

Hey everyone,

Well, let me begin by apologizing for the absolute sh*t show today. The initial publish this morning should not have taken anywhere near as long as it did (we were over our estimate by 1.5 hours), then immediately realizing that anyone who logged in after the servers came back up were losing their accrued A7.

We decided to lock login after a bug surfaced which was causing continents with mid/high-populations to exhibit severe lag, followed by crashing and disconnecting everyone. While the A7 bug was bad, we knew we could restore any that was lost. But the stability issue was ultimately the reason we decided to keep the servers locked all afternoon, until we had a fix in place. Looking back through PTS server logs at how we could have missed the cause of this crash; the change was definitely there, but it wouldn’t have caused the server performance issues/crash until the continents had high enough populations. Going forward, we are trying to devise way...

Hey everyone,

Now that we’ve wrapped up the final matches of the weekend, we would like to hear your feedback on what you liked about it, what you didn’t like and what you think we should incorporate next time.

Thank you all again for participating and/or watching one of the many amazing streams for each region. We had a great time and took lots of notes about changes we’d like to make for the next Outfit War.

Let us know what you thought.

Thanks

Andy

PTS wasn't finished publishing when u/wrel posted these notes. Its being unlocked now and you should be able to login shortly.

First off, thank you all that you both supporting us financially or just continuing to play each day/week/month.

Because of this, we're in the process of to posting new job openings soon for Rogue Planet Games to further support PS2

Seriously, I can't begin to thank you all enough.

It's not April 1st local time for us, so I can assure you that this is for realz

Ok, because I'm on Cobalt right now and my Network Ping is 152ms and my Server Latency is 162ms in game. I'm connecting from US West Coast, which is roughly 4x farther from the data center than you are located.

I'm the last person to blame internet congestion, but if the problem you were encountering was a server issue, it would likely be a universal problem for everyone. Including me.

Where are you connecting from?

Good morning/afternoon/evening everyone,

The game update publish is currently in progress, but it looks like we're on track to unlock at or a bit before 10am (Pacific) / 5pm (GMT).

As I mentioned in my post last night, in addition to the prep work for Outfit Wars, we've made several bug fixes to War Asset crafting and server performance. Though we identified several individual server-related optimizations that should improve performance, there might still be additional optimizations needed.

Once the servers are back up and unlocked, please post any feedback here - ...

Hey everyone,

Its been a few days since the last time we discussed the general state of PS2 and what the Rogue Planet Games team is focused on this week, so I wanted to provide a brief update…

To say that this past weekend was pretty rough in terms of server performance issues would be an understatement. A lot of the feedback with regard to when the server performance tanked was centered around the Friday morning game update. We spent all weekend, yesterday and today combing through the various changes that went into the Friday update to determine what could have caused this. While there was no smoking gun, we’ve identified several smaller issues that are likely contributing to the reduced performance. There is also the possibility of the increased number of people currently confined to their homes that has resulted in a noticeable hit on overall internet connectively around the world. Over the weekend, our TechOps team noted that the EU region was seeing a 20-40%+ ...

What server are you trying to connect to and where are you connecting from? You connection quality indicator in the top left is bad the entire video.

It's scheduled for next Wednesday the 25th at 6am (Pacific).
