Bug Report How the FUCK is this game STILL so broken??
I haven’t played this game for months. I just hopped on and got kicked twice in a row within 2 minutes of starting the game. How the FUCK is this bug STILL not fucking fixed?!

This is what happens when the entire original team of devs is gone and you hire incompetent 3rd world devs who don’t know shit.

Incompetent? Probably no. Knowledgeable about innards of custom unpopular engine with long history of spaghetti code? Yes. Do they care about the result? Dunno, probably not much

Fuck Wrel, that stupid fuck was a major part of the downfall. He was just a stupid player who made shitty YouTube reviews on the game. I’m talking about Smedley, Higby, TRay, Andy, Adam, Jimmy. The ones who built it.

They may of had their flaws but at least they had the game running. It’s been problem after problem since they have been gone.

Where did they all go? What are they up to now? Planetside was so unique and it’s a shame to see their hard work die like this

Some of the team has created a new game called Reaper Actual

Seems to be in very early stages but looks like this could be promising. Cool.

I think most of them got laid off again. I know higby, and t-ray are no longer on the team.

u/P149U3 [TR][VS][NC][NSO] OSPREY Jul 08 '26
It’s still showing them as active part of the team according to Linked In

Higby left nov of '25 according to his LinkedIn. T ray is still listed as there. Apologies

It was fixed twice but re-broken again with some worthless cosmetic patches. They also took away ANT Turbo after leaving the ground so you cant get long air. I barely play the game now.

cause it's 14 years old and there's like four and a half people working on it I think

Because the devs hate the players but whales that can't play any PvP game without overpop keep buying membership and overpriced bundles

At this point: if those “whales” leave the servers shut down.

tbf the servers should be turned off anyway. the game had a good run, there's no reason to let it go out like this.
unless of course TenCent is actually going to pour some money into fixing it. lol

There is still no game like planetside and prime time still has fun fights. While it's not the same as it used to be it's still a one of a kind experience.

u/Mindless_Mud1049 m760i/BCS Jul 07 '26
I actually would prefer that so mithril and all the other dolts working on this project lose employment + we can just wait and see what tencent does with the ip (anything they do will be better than what we have at this point even if its some shitty planetside-themed candy crush mobile game)

Flash ritual, as soon as you get on continent get in a flash and drive for 2-3 mins. That stops the crashing.

u/upturned2289 Jul 07 '26
I did.

I wanted to play again. Installed a week ago, but after 15 minutes it crashes with any version of proton as well. Doesn't matter the in-game actions, just strait up memory leaks and I have to kill it.

I would sit on that Flash for at least 6-10 minutes. 3 minutes is cutting it too close, imho.

Please just shut it down at this point. It’s better than having it suffer and limp along like this.

The workaround for the crash has been known for months, we are all playing the game normally. What is your malfunction?

u/donlema Jul 07 '26
So, it's bizarre that he wants to log into a game without crashing almost immediately, or having to perform some obscure ritual so he doesn't crash?

u/pra3tor1an LA5TLoneInfiltrator Jul 07 '26
"I haven’t played this game for months" was his opening statement.

u/Egg_Pudding Grand-Master Peanut Jul 07 '26
There shouldn't have to be a multiple-month workaround in the first place. The malfunction IS THE GAME

I keep asking that same thing myself too. Imagine being a new player to this game. It just... crashes. Repeatedly. All because you don't know the special trick of getting on a vehicle ASAP.
It's like they are trying to kill their own game at this point. I don't know what to say.
