December 15, 2021 Update

All PC servers will be offline for the following update, Dec. 15, at 6:00am PST (4:00pm CEST), downtime is expected to last up to two hours. PS4 will receive this update Thursday, the 16th.

PlanetSide 2 on Linux

 * In November, we quietly enabled compatibility with Proton and whitelisted the game through Valve.
 * While there are no plans to natively support Linux at this time, you are free to play PlanetSide 2 from the platform at risk to your own device. We do not ban accounts for playing from a Linux operating system.

Network issues on Emerald

 * Since mid November, our east coast servers have been struggling during peak times, and on some continents more than others.
 * We continue to investigate the cause of this issue as our highest priority, and are taking steps to address and mitigate the problem where we can.
 * For the time being, the Census API output to our East Coast servers (Emerald/Jaegar) has been taken offline to remove a variable from the equation during our investigation.
