If this is out of place i apologize, but since i was troubleshooting common problems for this game initially, i thought this would be the place to ask. I've put the simplest most concise information in bold as well.
So my game stopped running as ive seen here, and long story short, i ended up deleting the contents of the MutableBackup folder from my hidden program files after giving myself administrator access, which i've seen suggested in several places to recoup the space this game ate. I thought i would delete the bloat, and try a fresh reinstall using PSO tweaker start to finish.
The only problem is, after deleting all the contents of the MutableBackup folder, my entire computer seems to be whacked out now! Icons aren't appearing in my toolbar, certain apps aren't running at all like they should... I've scoured google for anyone with any issue close to this to no avail, and now im here.
Has anyone experienced anything close to this? Maybe someone more tech savvy outright knows whats happened here?
I'd love to play and enjoy this game, as im quite passionate about it but JIMMINY CHRISTMAS what an absolute nightmare this is turning out to be.
Some other information:
-
if it matters, the entire process of finding, gaining access to, and deleting the contents of the MutableBackup folder were done without 7zip, treefile, or any other software.
-
i deleted any folders with oxyna in their titles, which happened to be everything within the mutable backup folder.
-
the initial installation was through the MS store.
-
ive tried factory resetting my PC to no avail.
-
file types now appear weirdly with mp4s in particular as "@{microsoft.zunevideo.."
-
other files will prompt me with "Windows cannt access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item."
