    We've just released a client update. No downtime is expected, but you will need to re-log if you are currently in the game. Players may note the following changes:
    •AOE damage fixed
    •Fixed the comically large particle effect on the Magrider PPA
    •Fixed an issue where some objects weren't despawning correctly – vehicle debris, grenades, mines, etc.
    •Lock-on notifications should behave properly again

    -9/12 hotfix-

    All servers will come down for maintenance at 6:00 AM PDT (3:00 PM CEST) for a hotfix.

    Downtime Start: 6 AM
    Downtime ETA: 90 minutes

    Players can expect the following changes:
    Patch Notes
    •Recon drone removed from Infiltrator cert tree (we’ll be granting certs back to folks after the fix is live)
    •Ping column on server select now correctly named and sorted
    •Platoon member distance readings should not display an error
    •Fixed miscolored Lumifiber on Magirder
    •Removed some errant test domes from Amerish

    Why did you have to reinstall the game? Hopefully they'll have another client update by then because now it runs slightly worse then it did yesterday. Yeah SOE keep chipping those frames away from everybody. I wish they would just leave it alone until optimizations are done. The only patches they should be putting out is optimizations nothing else.

    It is highly advised by SOE that after any major patch you should delete your client, loading screen, useroptions, inputoptions, and a couple other files. And the best way I have found to alleviate Client desyncs is to completely reinstall the game versus nitpick the 5 files they suggest.

    Does it help? It just sounds like a lot of work and time for little or no result to me.

    It seems to, but it all depends on the users internet speeds. It is not a huge inconvenience for me to redownload 8 gigs of game and we have discovered that over the course of several patches you will have 4 gigs of useless data sitting in the PS2 folder.

    I'm downloading now almost 2 percent. At my speed that's about a gig an hour so might not be able to make it for ops tonight. Could this be an optimization patch?

    Since they are replacing the entire client I am sure it has something to do with it.

    This is kinda creepy now. I told them not to patch the game any more and I also said that there would be another client update.

    I'm watching the files update and some were rocks. Maybe they made them more rocky? I don't know lol.

    EDIT: ok I cancelled the launcher and relaunched it and it only updated 18 files. I really have no clue what's going on now

    Hit the wrench in your client and tell it to validate you assets, will make it skip most of this bugged patch.

    I'm trying your suggestion. Maybe I'll get better frames once it's done. It's good to flush out old files that may not be used any more which could effect the performance of the game.
