During the alpha stage, Planetside 2 featured special particle effects powered by [[Glossary:PhysX|PhysX]].<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcJlTUgZTT8</ref> These effects were removed prior to the official launch, but an option to disable PhysX was not available in the settings menu. The following fix forces PhysX off. This won't solve having a low-end machine, but will improve frame rate by 20% to 40% in most cases.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Planetside/comments/15kw8c/a_quick_fps_fix_to_try/</ref> | During the alpha stage, Planetside 2 featured special particle effects powered by [[Glossary:PhysX|PhysX]].<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcJlTUgZTT8</ref> These effects were removed prior to the official launch, but an option to disable PhysX was not available in the settings menu.
