cant play

resubbed for a month, patched etc.

But PS wont run on my system now. Crashes every time it tries to get in-game. Loads sanctuary etc, but when it gets to 100%, it crashes.

Maybe a display/graphics card problem. Any ideas?

couldnt get anything that seemed to help on the tech forums.
Solved it by playing around.

Seems to be a vista issue. I ran it using compatability mode. Didnt work running as XP compatible, but Windows 95 does... Weird.

From what I hear Vista is a steaming Pile of sh*&.

I can play in Vista all day long but I have to run a batch file to stop some services that take up too many resources first.
First:
Run the program compatability wizard and select "Planetside" to run with the following settings:
Use Windows 95 Settings and Disable the last three visual components
Turn off the Side Bar

Second:
Copy and paste this into a text file then save it but in the name of the text file change the .txt to .bat to create a batch file.

@echo off
Echo Stopping services ready for planetside... Press any key...
pause
Net Stop "Function Discovery Resource Publication"
Net Stop "IP Helper"
Net Stop "Offline Files"
Net Stop "Portable Device Enumerator Service"
Net Stop "Print Spooler"
Net Stop "ReadyBoost"
Net Stop "Secondary Logon"
Net Stop "Security Center"
Net Stop "Superfetch"
Net Stop "Tablet PC Input Service"
Net Stop "Terminal Services"
Net Stop "Windows Defender"
Net Stop "Windows Search"
Net Stop "Windows Update"
echo Completed... Press any key to go back to windows
pause

Then run the batch file before playing PS. just by double clicking the saved .bat file
Make sure to reboot after playing PS to enable all services or create another batch file with net start instead of net stop
