I was gathering on my characters.

Got dropped to the title screen but was able to immediately get back in.

Happened a couple times.

Last character, abandoned quest to go back to lobby, infinite loading screen.

Shut down the game.

Had to uninstall.

Reinstalling now.

I know the PC install issues are a common thing, but this time I thought it was interesting that I got to watch the game self destruct instead of just waking up one day and not being able to do anything.

And before anyone says it, yes I've tried Tweaker, no I'm not reinstalling my whole OS just so I can run it. That's dumb.

Steam release can't come soon enough!

you know you could get a stable install here without having to do a clean OS install

At this point it's not even worth it. This install should last long enough for the steam version, and I'm just going to pretend that will solve all of the problems. (Until it doesn't! XD)

Did you try rebooting before you attempted the nuclear option(reinstall)?

Sometimes(not always) a simple reboot fixes all issues (I mean, in general, not neccesarily just PSO2).

I really don't understand how many times will people give fixes or direct people to the Tweaker, which has step-by-step instructions, before it finally begins to stick.

@Ephemiel What I'm most confused about is where the notion that you have to do a clean OS install before using the Tweaker came from.

Probably from here somewhere.
