Feature Additions
BattlEye
PlanetSide 2 now runs with BattlEye, a service aimed at preventing cheating. The BattlEye service runs in addition to our existing suite of anti-cheat measures, and reports generated from this system will be reviewed and acted upon by the Customer Support team. For more information about this software please see their FAQ: https://www.battleye.com/support/faq/
Continent Locking
Continent Lock bonuses now persist until the continent is locked by another faction
Vehicle Direct Deploy
Players may now summon and spawn directly into a vehicle from the redeploy screen, as if they had used the vehicle terminal in person. If the base is contested, or if the vehicle terminals are hacked or destroyed, this option will be disabled. Only the player’s first vehicle loadout will be used for this method of vehicle spawning.
Construction System
Construction purchases made with Daybreak Cash will now unlock across ALL FACTIONS. Anyone who has already purchased construction items from one faction with DBC will be granted the same item on any missing factions. If you purchased construction items of the same type for multiple factions, we'll be refunding the DBC for those extra purchases.
We will run these grants and refunds as soon as possible, and it will require some server downtime to do so. Keep an eye out for more info over the next few days.
In addition, bypassing construction object Cortium costs will now require certifications, instead of Daybreak Cash.
New Construction Objects
Light Vehicle Terminal: The Light Vehicle Terminal can be used to spawn Flash, Harasser, Sunderer, and Lightning tanks at the cost of both Cortium and Nanites.
Light Air Terminal: The Light Air Terminal can be used to spawn Empire Specific Fighters and Valkyrie at the cost of both Cortium and Nanites.
Elysium Spawn Tube: When powered by an adjacent Silo, the Elysium Spawn Tube will provide a spawn point for nearby allies at the cost of a small amount of Cortium for each spawn. Additionally, it includes a matrixing option, allowing linked players to spawn there from anywhere on the continent.
Pillbox: A small fortified structure that can provide cover for both infantry and deployed equipment.
Vehicle Gate: Large walls with an opening wide enough for vehicles to pass through. When combined with a Structure Shield Module, the opening will be sealed with an energy shield that blocks enemy vehicles and large projectiles.
Glaive IPC: The Glaive Ionized Particle Cannon is an unmanned mid-range artillery piece that disrupts defensive shield systems, but inflicts only minor damage to personnel and equipment. The IPC requires AI module support to function.
Alarm Module: This module will alert the owner and their squad when an enemy is detected or a construct is attacked within 100 meters of it.
Ammo Dispenser:When powered by a nearby silo, this small tower will resupply the ammunition of ground vehicles in its vicinity.
Gameplay Additions
Nanite Systems Export series
A new lineup of weaponry is currently in development by the talented engineers at Nanite Systems. These weapons are designed with the skillful soldiers of Auraxis in mind, and will prove both difficult and rewarding to use. A new directive line dedicated to this series may be found in the Weapons directive tree, and the reward for completing the tree will be revealed at a later date. The first weapon available for nano-printing in this new lineup is the NSX Naginata.
NSX Naginata
This light machine gun bases its design on the ergonomics of entrenched heavy soldiers who defend critical firing lanes with suppressive fire. The weapon’s aggressive rate of fire and high caliber rounds can generate challenging vertical recoil, but the Naginata's tailored grip and molded stock allow for minimal side to side shake, and remains comfortable to use even in the most heated situations. A new magazine well with custom fitted drum magazine allows for quicker reloads and high ammunition counts, a crucial component to stymieing enemy offensives.
Havoc, Sigma, and Darkstar Armor Sets
New faction composite armors have been introduced for the Infiltrator, Light Assault, Combat Medic, Engineer, and Heavy Assault classes. You can find these new armor bundles in the depot.
Freedom Fighter Helmet
By community request, the New Conglomerate helmet from the original PlanetSide 2 promotional material has made its way into the game.

Wooow !!
Valk buff and ARs nerfs on hold ! A good day to play!
-
A lot of amazing new additions and a lot of useful tweaks. Really good job! I am looking forward to the new enforcer - less gravity and a new crosshair. I`ll give it a new try as a dedicated gunner, for sure.
Also, BattleEye should make things better - but, I will taunt noobs by claiming I do not care about BE, as a pro cheater.
So much fun ... this game.

Now we have all Notes on one site :P

Lets hope that the new anticheat system will not block recursion tracker.

It doesn't. The BattleEye devs already confirmed that it is "whitelisted". Same for other commonly used tools like Overwolf and the teamspeak overlays.
-
well the new update completely broke the game for me some how now it says my pc doesnt meet the minimum specs wich is strange as i have been playing it since it came out
-
Validate game files? Do you have malware in your PC? Re-install PS2? Contact support?
Don't give up.
-
Maybe you just need to update a part of your PC, I guess you are tech wiz enough to know which could be trouble. Or it's not related to performance issue but just some hardware driver being in conflict with the new update.
But you should contact support anyway and ask what's new from this update that could impact on hardware setting.

From that BattlEye message it looks like for some reason it blocked your graphics card driver's DLL atiumd64.dll.
Are your drivers up-to-date? Try updating them, if that doesn't help send a costumer support ticket with the battleeye log and hope the they can fix it.
-
cant update my grafix drivers as the card is so old they dont support it any more i will have to wait and see if they patch the game with some fix for it
-
what graphic cards ya have, man?
-
my grafix card is an atihd4870 i know its old but has worked fine for the past 4 years of playing planetside 2
-
i just tried to login to daybreak support to check if they had responded to my ticket thingy i sent and now it says my ip is blocked ??? wth
-
you are right, the drivers for that series is no more, I absolutely recommend you to buy a new GPU, it is imperative if you want to keep playing, man... Now if the problem you say is only with BE, then try to get help from their support staff, even if you get to fix that issue, I still think you need a new gpu, no drivers since 2013 and no support for them is negative sign.

Minimum specs are here (updated 26 September 2016):

-
im thinking the minimum specs have changed for some reason with the latest update im waiting for dbg to get back to me and see what if anything can be done other than me buying a new graphics card wich i cant afford to do at the moment or may be ever :( :'(
-
i just found a solution to my problem if only a temporary one but i can now get into the game at least i just uninstalled the grafix drivers and didnt reinstall them it seems that the default windows drivers work ok for now :)

Nice !
