@Damaen & Draconis

This was happening to me while I was figuring out the settings to run on Vista. Make sure you set the Planetside.exe file in the SOE folder to run compatability mode with Windows 95 (odd, right), and then make sure the SOE launcher file (the one that is put on the desktop) is set to run normally, so don't edit it at all.

If you continue to get problems, uninstall and reinstall the launcher. It has to update from that webpage once, so once it's updated, you shouldn't have to go to it anymore.

I had it working few months ago and still have PS installed. Just this stupid update is messing it up.

I dropped a few HE Mines and Spits tonight. I even went on a bombing mission or two with Cadet in his fancy Lib. Some guy named Jolium took me for a ride in his VS buggy. not sure what you call it. Yes, I DL'd the game and played this evening. I only got 2 kills. one from a Mine (/check) and one from a Lightning. With all those bombs I dropped couldn't get one damn kill. :/

We need to get everyone on at once and squad up. We'd definitely be able to fill out a squad now. :wink:

Imagine a war that wages on for more than 7 years. All the young men who are eligible to fight in said war have long gone. The kids are just too young to fight because even the 12 year olds have gone off to fight. Who's left to draw from to fight the war? Let's empty out the VA hospitals to fight the war. That's us! :P The grizzled veterans who are on their last leg anyway and haven't seen the business end of a Cycler in decades. We are gray and can't see very well; soft in the belly, but not in the head. Give us a Minichaingun and point us in the right direction. We are a weapon system not to be taken lightly! the Enforcers.

I'll try to DL it tonight and get it installed. The last time I tried I was able to get everything installed but I couldn't run the game for longer than a minute before it would crash. Could never figure out what was wrong. Some graphics error. I'll give it a shot anyway though, I really miss this game and playing it with you guys.
