While we just got a PlanetSide 2 update last week, Daybreak Games has released the  PlanetSide 2 update 2.18 August 13 patch and it’s for PC and PS4. Note that the PC patch and PS4 patch notes are posted separately below.

PlanetSide 2 Update 2.18 August 13 patch notes:

PS4:

Misc. Changes, Fixes, and Additions

  • Fixed an issue where the Colossus Shield could be activated indefinitely.
  • Fixed two memory leaks in the VFX and Physics systems which could cause frame rate degradation over time.

Correction: Initial patch notes listed a fix for floating debris around destroyed Colossus Tanks that hasn’t yet made it to live. We’ve also added the memory leak fixes above.

PC:

Misc. Changes, Fixes, and Additions

  • Fixed an issue where the Colossus Shield could be activated indefinitely.
  • Fixed a map bug where the Bastion indicators would not orient correctly.
  • Javelin cockpits are now faction specific.

Unrelated to this patch, we wanted to share that the 451.85 Nvidia driver hotfix appears to have corrected the seconds-long freezing issues a lot of players have been experiencing (props to GroundTrooper for sharing in the PS2 Discord):

As far as we’re aware, that’s the only change in today’s PlanetSide 2 patch rolled out during each platform’s maintenance period.

Stay tuned here on MP1st as we have more PlanetSide 2 news to share.

In other Daybreak news, the company acquired a new studio and it’s working on a game based on the Alien franchise.
