Template:Infobox 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.
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.

- 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.

Enabling "Ultra High" Graphics
To use these, locate the UserOptions.ini file in your PlanetSide 2 folder. (If you downloaded it through Steam, for example, it will be found under %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Steam\steamapps\common\PlanetSide 2). Open the file in Notepad, and modify the following values under [Rendering].
Instructions |

Enabling PhysX
To enable PhysX, you currently need a Nvidia Graphics Card capable of PhysX on the latest Beta Drivers located at Geforce.com.
If you meet the requirements, locate the UserOptions.ini file in your PlanetSide 2 folder. (If you downloaded it through Steam, for example, it will be found under %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Steam\steamapps\common\PlanetSide 2). Open the file in Notepad, and add the following lines to the bottom of the [Rendering] list.

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 theses steps[6]

Issues unresolved
Cannot use Steam version in the EU
- It is currently impossible to use the Steam version with an EU account, unless the player's account dates from the Beta testing period.[7][8]
- EU players must download the ProSiebenSat.1 Games launcher from the European Planetside 2 website.
- This is because the Steam launcher requires a US-based or Beta account.
All ground and units dissapear
- Often during morning and midday, all foreground objects dissapear. This includes the units, world and building. Icons remain and the map etc. stays available. This bug fixes itself after about 30 seconds.
Issues fixed
Cannot install game (Steam)
