PlanetSide 2 PlanetSide 2 is a free-to-play massively multiplayer online first person shooter (MMOFPS) published by Sony Online Entertainment and released on November 20, 2012. It is the sequel to PlanetSide which originally released in 2003. Officially announced on July 7, 2011 at the Sony Fan Fair, the second installment uses a new game engine and supports hundreds of players in continuous large scale conflict. As in the first PlanetSide, PlanetSide 2 chronicles the efforts of three factions as they fight for territorial control of the planet Auraxis. PlanetSide 2 is a re-imagining of PlanetSide, featuring the same world, factions and taking place at roughly the same time period. As in the previous game, it features territory control in an open-world, large battles featuring up to 2000 players per continent on foot or in land/air vehicles. The territory system differs greatly from that of the original, being more free-form and based on a hexagonal territory control system. SOE has been taking into account balance issues from the first game. As stated by creative director Matthew Higby, they reward combatants on lower population empires through mechanics such as proportionally increased advancement rates and resources to aid the balance of overall empire saturation on each server as much as possible without force-restricting players from being able to play with their friends.

Solutions & Issues Baseline (Widescreen) Solution & Issues Vehicle FoV fixed to 80 HFoV so will likely be vertical minus on most peoples systems.



Ultra/Super-Wide (21:9/32:9) Specific Solution & Issues



Eyefinity / Surround Specific Solution & Issues The menu system is completely broken in multi-monitor setups. Some items will not show up at all and others will show up if moused over. The settings button is rendered completely off the bottom of the screen which is a bit odd since the actual game is Hor+. SOE has been aware of this since beta and have chosen not to fix it. The game has a max FoV of 110, this make it vertical minus and unplayable on most setups. A fix for the FOV issues can be found here, be aware that it does technically violate the ToS even if SOE has turned a blind eye to it up till now.
