Just i wanted to comment that: I installed PSO2 in my secondary drive using tweaker (the new versions lets you choose in which folder to install) and I have rebooted pc and didn't autonuked (before this version game still autonuked). I hope this give hope for those who want to play.

Has Sega or Ark said anything yet? dudes, i cannot install it on C, i have to do it on D and it shouldnt autonuke itself ^^U

@Morgothryuzaki you know that there are unistall guides for this and you dont necessarily have to wipe the HDD each time, right?

the unistall bug it is said to happen because, for reason, microsoft store says there is a problem with PSO2 files and delete them "just in case".

@STAR-15 Not sure what you did, but most reports (including mine) say Tweaker really helpful. It's a shame that doesnt fix autonuke bug.

@EienRozen You still log in through the microsoft store.

Ark (tweaker creators) guys are working on bypassing the store.

Also, using tweaker does not protect you from the autonuke bug.

If its a full drive issue, there are some post that explains how to delete completely the game.

It's just a quick summary for those who want to know what is happening or are thinking on using tweaker:

Gamebreaking bugs:

• Just download PSO2, opened the launcher, download the patcha and when i press to start the game, it gives an error: Mostly is an error related to permisions on certain files. Windows store choose a delicate folder to install in and mess up the permission granting.

• I could play the game, but after exiting the game or rebooting PC, i press the game icon and nothing happens: This is know as the "autonuke" bug. Basically, the store and the files get disconected for certain reason, the store decide that are corrupted and delete them. It is said to be linked to the fact of installing the game in another drive from the one it has windows installed in. Also, there are people that installed the game in the same drive as windows and the game got autonuked anyway.

• Help, can't unistall! : This one is very tricky. What i did to unistall the game was to open "programs" press delete on PSO2 while also went to the folder c/windowsapps/mutable and c)windowsapps/mutablebackup and delete everything there, also delete X(drive where you installed PSO2)/programfiles/windowsmodifiedapp/PSO2_bin. The problem with this method is that you need the permision thing figured out.

About using tweaker:

• It avoids the permision problem and it has a lot of tools to repair the game.

• It won't avoid the autonuke bug. So if it already happened to you, forget to try again.

My opinion:

Right now, is a massive headache to try to play this game. There is a high chance of facing problems that won't allow you to play and also cause a lot of trouble trying to unistall. Some people have roughly 50-70GB occupied and cannot get that space back because they lack the proper knowledge and skills to mess with the files.

I advice to everyone that want to play this game (is a really entertaining game) to wait for a fix that fixes the problems listed above.

My friends, just to give my report:

I installed the game using tweaker (helps a lot avoiding permissions issues) and i could play a couple of hours last night but today, after booting the computer, i could check that the game wouldn't start: It had nuked itself again.

Yes, i installed it in a secondary drive (i have windows in the other drive), but i consider that i should be able to install games in my computer where i want.

Now i'm having the unistall drama but, at least, it's not my first rodeo, so i'm confident i'll be able to unistall completely.

It's 2n time i have to do this, but i think i've learned my lesson: I'll wait until a real fix appears, i really hope that ark or sega can find a way to avoid Microsoft store completely so i can install wherever i want and avoid more not asked "backups"or auto nukes.

@Muleck4694 wait, did you said that restoring the game files with Tweaker takes 2 to 3 hours? or i misread? XD
