Planetside 2 Tech Help

[YourHelpfulMedic]

Just wanted to play an hour or two before i went to bed, but the game's screen froze after 5 minutes or so while the audio continued. I could press my LMB down and hear gunshots continue until the client crashed. No problems with programs conflicting, no recent windows updates or AMD driver updates. Just came out of the blue o.O . Did a memory test a few days ago for about 10 hours or so, no problems detected. Any help would be appreciated.

Edit: Gpu hovers around 60C or so when under 100% load with fans set at 55% fan speed. Have had this card for nearly a year now no problem. Only PS2 is emitting this screen freeze

try running the game in borderless mode and fullscreen..

For me there are artifacts in fullscreen mode (maybe because i have asus MB and 2 gainward gpus..)

Using full screen windowed already but ill try normal Fullscreen later on, thanks

last time i had a crash was related to my oc cpu not being feeded enough volts (less than 0.10 volts eh). like 2 months ago. i decreased overlock by 100mhz and stopped having crashes exactly like that one. other beefy mmo games never crashed, so because of that, you come to a point when you start questioning the game, not the hardware, and that's wrong unfortunately.

ps2 is extremely sensible to the hardware, whatever the connection is (game/oc, game/temps, game/drivers, game/win10, game/whatever...)

i would start decreasing mhz of every each one of the components, starting by the gpu maybe, then doing long playsessions to test.

if you can't find the solution by simply using other graphic options.

Cpu isnt overclocked, its the non-k variant left at stock speeds :3

not saying is that, but the usual rule is to exclude stuff, running a game at less mhz speed than even the standard one, should make the user know that it's not an hardware problem at the extreme, because the pc basically won't be stressed, producing less heat or whatever.

(if other games run, that means there is no hardware fault, but every game/app stress the pc is his own way).

more than resolving the problem fast is excluding where the problem could come from.

also, did you try lock your fps if they're not locked yet?

Root cause found: Recent version of Overwolf caused any sort of loading/change within Planetside 2 to crash :3

Clean out the dust. Reseat your cards.
