Key points
- Offers a strong level of graphical customisation.
- Regularly updated and to be officially supported until 2025.[1]
- Players are reporting extremely poor CPU optimization [2][3][4]. A response by the development team acknowledges these claims [5].
- EU players are unable to use the Steam version without a fix.
General information
- Official website
- Official forum
- PlanetSide 2 Wiki - a good place to get gameplay-related information.
Availability
- The game is available for free on all of the platforms above.
Game data
Game folder location
Save game location and cloud syncing
- Player level and unlocks are automatically synced and stored in the cloud.
- This does not include bindings and video settings, which are stored locally (and often reset during game updates).
Video settings
Field of view (FOV)
- Options menu features an FoV slider with values of 55 up to 74.
- The adjustable Field of view (FOV) setting in this game is vertical FoV (like in Battlefield: Bad Company 2) rather than horizontal FoV like in most other games.
- Vertical field of view calculator http://www.rjdown.co.uk/projects/bfbc2/fovcalculator.php
- FoV can be tweaked to values higher than in-game maximum or lower than the in-game minimum.
Instructions |
---|
- Horizontal FoV is fixed at 80 inside vehicles and limited to 110 when on foot. This presents a significant problem for multi-monitor setups, even with a low vertical FoV set in the game.
- This can be remedied with a tool called PS2FOV.
Instructions |
---|
Input settings
- Input options only configurable after entering a server.
Input devices
Logitech 3D Pro POV pad
If you only use the ingame key bindings, the pad will just stop working after a few seconds. In order to use the POV pad of the joystick for the cockpit view, follow these steps[6]

All ground and units dissapear
