On October 23, 2013, the highly anticipated performance update will be released, which aims to improve the frame rate (FPS) in the F2P shooter MMO Planetside 2 by up to 30% in some cases.
Creative Director Matthew Higby from Sony Online Entertainment commented on this in the forum and even promised further improvements regarding performance. He also emphasizes that a performance boost was observed generally across all tested hardware configurations.
If this change is really as significant as it sounds, many shooter and MMO fans can look forward to mostly smooth large-scale battles soon. At least those who have had their issues so far.
The free-to-play MMOFPS Planetside 2 is very popular, but not all players enjoy a fluid game – the hardware requirements for Planetside 2 are anything but low. Especially in this genre, delays are extremely bothersome, as every second, even millisecond, counts in determining victory or defeat.
Since October 8, 2013, it has been possible to test the patch on the test server already.
