They ban and they come back. It's a never ending war on MMO's with these type of things.

Only solution I can think of is don't allow chat/trading until level 20. Would die down quite a bit.

@GamerKillance If they had to re-download it, it was because that is their go-to solution. The problem Gears 5 had (and many other MS store games had) was related to the MS sign-in system preventing games from being able to launch due to something, somewhere being logged in with another MS account of some type. It is an issue that still exists with some programs, but that issue has never led to a game wiping itself, cloning itself, and getting locked as an inaccessible container because the owner didn't exist anymore.

Those behaviors are a result of the program's designer, not the operating system that allows it to run.

So can we be in agreement that it was badly put out on both sides for launcher and store?

Who knows the Episode 4 patch might fix the issues.

I can see it now, people blaming Microsoft for SEGA's launcher on Steam just cause.

Even if you use the Tweaker to install it you still need to make sure you turn off automatic updates on both the Microsoft Store and your Windows Updater. Until things on the SEGA side are fixed it is gonna get nuked anytime there is a significant system change.

Hopefully they are applying the fixes with the newer platform and audience, else the ratings are gonna tank some more.

MS store would say I had the game installed, but then I couldn't play it. Tried to locate the file to access it, but then to be stopped saying "Not authorized" due to MS store files. Tried play game from MS store and it wouldn't launch. Game was literally inaccessible.

It really is the MS store causing issues. This isn't the only game that has had issues with it either. Been an ongoing problem with plenty of MS programs SPECIFICALLY from the MS store. Great example is Gears 5 where it works just fine on steam yet so damn buggy on the MS store. Few of my friends had to redownload it 3 times from that damn store.

It ain't good.

Did any of you guys use the tweaker?

It helps, but doesn't solve the update issue that deletes the game from the PC while keeping the 100GB files in it. Many people suffered from this which is why it fell off SOOOOOOOO hard after only one month after release.

You made it out as you need to have the PSO2 MS store version installed to play steams version which will be VERY unlikely.

The current assumption is that the MS store version of the game is what generates the code used by the steam version. So, if you only have 15 minutes to input the generated code, you would need both installs simultaneously (until you linked the accounts, at which point you can trash the MS store version), because you can't uninstall+reinstall in 15 minutes. The Tweaker devs mentioned they were working on a way to let the MS and Steam versions work off of the same install though, so you wouldn't actually need two installs simultaneously for it.

I see that as unlikely. Most likely it will be an email confirmation between accounts. Steam and Microsoft will give a do-how the day before(my bet) release. Assumptions don't do much for anyone.

They ban a good many, but since it's a F2P game it's easy to make a new account to sell once again. Never ending battle on all MMO's with this.

They both ban a good amount of bots. Issue being is that players keep buying from them so they'll keep making accounts after the original has been banned. A never ending battle.

Ya I gave up on the PSO2 MS store version. It's just so damn buggy.

@GamerKillance Yes, that is how it is currently described by the tweaker devs:

--Q: How do I link my Steam account to my already-existing PSO2 Microsoft account?--

A: This is probably the most important thing in this post - You need to keep your Microsoft version of PSO2 installed if you want to link it to steam.

The steam version of PSO2 currently (in the code) requires an authorization code from whatever version of PSO2 you previously played if you want to continue progress on that account.

As in, do not delete your Windows Store/XB1 copy of PSO2 yet (or ever, if that's your thing!). The code indicates that you will need a key from a previous copy of PSO2 and have 15 minutes to enter it on the steam copy to link accounts. This is likely done instead of a login in order to prevent needing to support the Xbox Live API.

So the game itself won't be needed, but rather authorization that the account is your with some kind of playtime on it.

@Archetype-Luna said in Windows store is not installing the game to my :

@GamerKillance They are trying to set it up so that they can link their account to their steam account when the steam version comes out as you need an existing installation in addition to the steam installation to link accounts. You can uninstall the non-steam version once you linked accounts.

You made it out as you need to have the PSO2 MS store version installed to play steams version which will be VERY unlikely.

@metafalica1 said in So who is taking bets on the Steam Release?:

Considering how botched the PC release was, I'm not keeping my hopes up for anything. Heck, they might not ever open up Ships 4-6

Remember that it was just NA on PSO2 release with the MS store. Steam will be opening with 33 more countries. If anything it will blow up bigger than MS store launch.
