@Ragnawind said in steam unlock time:

you shouldn't need two installs to tranfer.

Except for the part where you need the M$ store version installed to transfer your account... Unless the transfer takes less than 15 minutes that's not a good option

@Aida-Enna How exactly is it going to work?

You will, once you link Steam to Tweaker (more will be explained on Steam release once I do some quick final testing), be able to "hotswap" between launching the MS Store version and the Steam version in seconds using one singular install. So, once this is complete, you just change to the MS store version, launch it and get your code, close it and swap to the Steam version, launch it and put in your code.

Easy peasy!

@Aida-Enna Thank you for the response. I was just a tad worried seeing as in the article concerning this that I read stated

"ATTENTION: Do not start Phantasy Star Online 2 on a new platform until you fully understand this account-linking process. Creating a character/setting up a Player ID on a new platform is irreversible and you will not be able to link your account after the fact."

But, just to make sure I've understood it. I would use the tweaker, log into the windows version as I used to in the past. And proceed with the directions given( launch second pso via steam/tweaker steam.) Grab the code from the original and put it into the steam version

Correct! The warning means that if you log into the steam version and make a new account without linking the old one first, that steam account will forever be a new one and your progess won't carry over.

I have a massive question concerning this as I'm in an awkward position tech wise. My GPU bit the dust as its been so hot inside my house the heat sink and fans couldnt keep it from over heating and frying. Having a prebuilt rig that has specific parts I cant really upgrade it as I intend to. So. As a result I'm building a new machine. I was wanting to just use Steam. BUT it appears even if I install the tweaker I may not be able to recover my saves, much less link it to my Steam account? Lord knows I hope I'm wrong. Any and all suggestions/help etc is welcome as I would like to maintain my character and items that I've spent time and money on.

Items are saved server-side, so just install the Windows version via Tweaker when you're able, get the code, then put it into the steam version to set up your save data on the steam version.

Hey all - The official steam linking information page is now live! https://pso2.com/news/announcements/steamlinkaccounts

The major thing to take away from it that I didn't mention above in my write-up is:

ATTENTION: Do not start Phantasy Star Online 2 on a new platform until you fully understand this account-linking process. Creating a character/setting up a Player ID on a new platform is irreversible and you will not be able to link your account after the fact.

To begin using your Windows Store/Xbox One account on Steam:

1) From the Support Menu within the Start Menu of the Windows 10 or Xbox One version of PSO2, select the option to issue an account-linking code. This code will expire after 15 minutes.

2) After launching PSO2 on the Steam platform, select your Ship and then enter the code from the previous step. Please be careful: you can only use this code when setting up your account on a new platform for the first time. Do not create a new character/set up a Player ID before linking your account.

3) Success! The operative can now play using the same PSO2 save data on either their Xbox Live or Steam Account ID.

OMG!!!! I had another pso2_bin file under modifiablewindowsapps. I just put the file in that one and it worked!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

\ o / Glad to hear it! Enjoy the game!

It works on my side, maybe you're launching from another PSO2 install? Try doing a search on your computer for a "pso2_bin" folder and see if there's more than one.

@KamikazeElite59 Hm, the fix has worked for everyone else. And you're sure the bd9386c699f92874978ecf0e8937b907 file is in the win32 folder? Try closing PSO2, putting it in there (it should ask to overwrite), then opening PSO2 and going to your room.

If that doesn't work, can you post your ship and player info so I can try it?

@KamikazeElite59 Sorry, I guess the forum ate my post? Which mat do you mean? Does the mat not work too?

@Pulptenks said in So now that PSO2 is coming out on steam, what happens to the PSO 2 Tweaker?:

Does it track hours and achievements? That's all Steam is about! Because let's be honest this has been working quite well.

The store page does say it has Steam achievements

If you mean your XBL achievements, then jury's still out on that one.

I meant if it was launched externally and not through the steam store.

So I tried this fix and it didn't work for me. @Aida-Enna

You put the file into the data/win32 folder, right? Not data/win32_na?
