I've never personally attempted it. But, I've heard it working if you hook up a wired Xbox360 controller up to your system and connect the actual headset through the controller as you normally would.

As for whether it's straight plug and play or you need to download drivers from Microsoft, I'm not quite sure there.

Seems to have fixed itself for now

If only most problems would do that

Let us know if you run into any other issues (hopefully not)!

There's no denying that Vista and Planetside have no love for eachother. But we can still take a look at things if you can post your DXDIAG and MSINFO files here!

You can also send a PM my way any time if you would like to get my attention quickly - it normally gives me a quick E-Mail *ping!*.

Indeed.  The problem has definitely not been ignored - in fact, there are many discusssions that go on for that very subject.  Regrettably, I can't go into any detail as to what is discussed or decided upon until it's made public by the appropriate folks within.

I personally love the game as well and can understand how irritating such situations can be. So for now, we can still but a sock in any attempts whenever noticed. If you feel that a GM isn't around and would like a situation to be checked into - By all means, PM me with your situation and I'll be happy to help.

Ya still blank here, but not a huge issue.. there may be a few other things that take priority on peoples "fix it" list, think i saw a thread or two on them..... 

Just giving you a hard time. Anything PlanetSide related getting fixed is a great thing! I just Couldnt let you come in and think you dodged the fireing sqaud completely..  

Oh of course! I wouldn't expect it any other way.

If anyone here has any issues they believe I should be aware of ASAP. Send a PM may way! It will give me a small E-Mail 'ping' so I can take a look.

Just checking in - Is anyone still having some troubles with normal forum functions?

It's been some time since there was a response here. Is all well with that issue?

I know of a situation where an outfit was forced to split in 2  and all the members forming the new outfit got to take there outfit points with them...... this makes me wonder why you are being told that you can not get yours back.

My guess would be that this sort of situation had GM involvement from the start. But yes, that's only a guess unless I knew more about that whole case.

That's unfortunate but true - there isn't a log that actually shows how many you gained or had accumulated over any period of time.

There is currently an issue with our international billing system that was not resubscribing players who had used Global Collect to pay for their account for the month of January.  This is a known issue, and a fix for this should be implemented within the next 24 hours.  However, if you currently use our international billing system and require immediate assistance with resolving this issue, please contact the Technical and Billing Support department, and a Technical Support representative will assist you.

Opirr - I'd like to be able to work with you on this in a more active level than forums in this case. Can you send a PM my way to work out something through phone or live chat (if interested) ?

For instructions on how to obtain said DxDiag and MSInfo information - instructions are here.

While that's certainly odd that it worked just with a RAM upgrade, I'm glad to hear you're up and running.

Playing release version Planetside on a 512 stick.. painful memories.

What he said. It has been some time and we just want to make sure you're up and running.

Official word:

No.

Sorry!

I'm...slightly confused by this!

What's the workdir for your PS client?

That question. Also, are you using Windows Vista on that system?

Having played a bit more with it, a few more bits of info.

The left thumbstick is recognized as a normal stick, X- and Y-axis and combinations thereof.

Right thumbstick is the "directional hat", which I know some sticks have, but PS doesn't seem to like it. Fair number of other things I've tried don't either.

Right and left triggers are Z-axis. Can't remember which is plus and which is minus. PS also doesn't seem to like this. X-Wing Vs. TIE Fighter used it as throttle controls, with no way for me to adjust it. That game requires a controller of some sort though.

Edit: There are no ways to tweak anything with the Microsoft interface software. All it does is provide a simple screen that shows if a controller is connected and an option to check for updates.

Thanks for keeping us informed on what you've tried, Dahak.

Hmm. I don't want to think it's impossible to get it to work right, but Planetside certainly isn't really built for a controller.

I can see it being pretty nice to use once in PS though.

Who the bloody fck are you?

A friend.

Special cases? Like your cat died and u want to have ur forum name in rememberance of him?

 

Were I the one you were pleading that case to and I had the power to do it, I'd certainly take that reason.

Please let us know if you still have any troubles!

I do every day, for lots of reasons!

Edit: These forums seem pretty quiet. A shame.

Have you tried flushing your dns?

 

go into cmd and type "ipconfig /flushdns" sometimes clearing that our can help your packet loss; also while youre there do a ipconfig/release and /renew. They never hurt...

 

You might also try bypassing your router altogeather; just to rule that out...

A wise idea. Please let us know if either suggestion does anything noticible.

Indeed! I use it to play music at full blast to drown out those painful memories. 

Ah. So we meet again, DarkFate. Your wookie roar still gives me nightmares.

Just checking up in here - are you still having trouble getting into the game?

I can see if a Dev can check that information, but I'm just making sure that the way you're setting up is how I normally have folks in Live Chat get it fixed.

You're clearly familiar with the compatibility mode process. So if you can run through that and set the Station Launcher shortcut to Windows 2000, please do so.

Once that is done, you'll need to head to the actual Planetside Directory and find the only actual file in that folder named Planetside. With that file, set the compatibility mode on it to Windows 95. Now, with both the Launcher and the actual game file set to their respective compatibilities, try running the game again.

Let me know if there's any change.

True. This far into Planetside's development cycle, it likely won't have any major strides in getting along with Vista in the future. But, I do have a lot of experience with Vista's inner workings. Hopefully I can help out some folks in these boards that are having trouble.
