The PlanetSide 2 Public Test Server will be coming down this evening (Pacific time) for another large game update.
DX11 progress and a more secure futureWe've made numerous bug and crash fixes to DX11, as well as some substantial underlying changes to the way our file packing system works.
Our new file packing system offers better encryption of assets, which means a more secure game overall.
In addition, this updated system dramatically reduces the file size of the game... but there's a catch.
All players will be required to re-download the game once this update goes Live. This includes the update going PTS right now.
It was important that we time this structural upgrade with a large, very desirable feature that we could use as a call to arms to incentivize players to re-download the game.
Rest assured that we will be pushing for the return of lapsed players through various campaigns surrounding the release of DX11.
In the coming week, we'll be sharing our livestream and playtest schedule, and maybe a bit more.
Please download this PTS update and continue to help us test the game's stability as well as keep using that /bug command to help us track down all the smaller bugs as well.
