Thank you for the information. Already starting to see some better repro steps that we should try right away.

Can you open a ticket with CS please and/or submit a /bug report? Our initial attempt to repro this bug failed. The issue seems to be specific to certain characters.

Fixing art usually requires an artist to clean up and re-export individual pieces of in-game art. Sometimes it gets more technical with a shader being broken under certain conditions or just doesn't get used that much. That requires a graphics engineer to fix. We are focusing our efforts on issues that effect the most players and working down to ones that effect specific individuals.

We have pretty good handle on what is going on with Cobalt and Miller server configuration. Turns out the changes we need to make will take a lot more work than expected, but we are working on it right now.

Connery has a different issue and we are still working on it. Its related to how the servers are configured on not with the actual hardware.

The encryption is actual encryption. Like all other forms of protection, with enough time, there are ways of beating it. What I'm talking about in the last post is, we need to keep modifying and/or adding layers of protection or we will lose the anti-cheat war.

I can confirm we are already seeing new efforts to use asset modification despite the encrypted asset packs. The good news is we have a much better system for detection than before. Anti-cheat is a war that never ends, we always have to stay vigilant and make adjustments. There is no perfect answer.

There will be NSO MAX's someday. But yeah ... Doh!

Its higher spec server blades. The existing hardware was running many services on the same hosts and now will have dedicated nodes running specific high CPU load services.

Sounds like a couple issues that should be solved in the big PS4 PS2.0 update. Thanks.

We will be keeping an eye on /bug reports on PTS this weekend just in case there are any last 2nd gotchas. We are also continuing to do our own release testing pass internally.

We have various engineer types that focus on graphics, gameplay, server performance, etc... Some engineers can shift roles depending on our needs, but its best to task things to the experts in those systems. There are many gameplay level bugs, those tends to get solved in groups, but progress on that front has been slow. We are hoping to pick up the pace in the coming weeks now that many of the critical issues are starting to get solved.

I'm sorry to hear you are not getting more frames from the DX11 update. Would you mind opening a ticket with Daybreak customer service and providing your hardware specs? https://help.daybreakgames.com

Once we are done fixing the obvious graphics bugs affecting everyone we are going to start processing the hardware specific issues.

We have a fully upgraded PS4 version of PS2 running and the framerate boost is a bit better than we expected. Lots more work to be done to get it stable though. Please stay patient, we have not forgotten PS4.

That hardware is now provisioned but will not come online for Miller and Colbalt until our next downtime just in case anyone was expecteing to see the server latency drop over the weekend.

In an effort to maintain of transparency with the community, I wanted to give an update on our next hotfix. We have been working all week to prep another hotfix for PlanetSide 2. We are processing the thousands of /bug reports as they come in on a daily basis and they have been incredibly helpful to track down new issues. We also are getting the message loud and clear on the well known issues that are causing the most pain.

Other than continued improvements to general stability and other graphics issues such as fullscreen modes and particle effects, our focus has been on fixing issues with our new spawn system, which includes beacons, malfunctioning priorities, and more. Unfortunately many of these fixes came in just a little too late this week for proper testing, and combined with other issues we are currently resolving with our build pipeline, it would be incredibly risky for us to put out this update to Live before the weekend.

We are incredibly excited to see so...
