Strange, following the first three pictures you posted but clicking on "Steam" instead of "Xbox Live" takes me to a 'steamcommunity.com' page to enter my Steam username and password. Even if you didn't have a valid Steam account, I'd still think it would take you to this page...

It seems to work fine for me in both Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome. I've seen others report the same issues, however. Have you tried clearing your browser's temporary files (cache, cookies)? *Note that clearing cookies will log you out of everything you're currently logged into, so be sure you either know your passwords or have them saved in said browser before attempting.

If that doesn't fix it for you though, I'm honestly not really sure what the issue could be, myself...

@Moofey said in [PC - Steam] Rare, random crashes:

Just an update since people are still posting in here:

After catching up on updates with Win10 (including upgrading from 2004 to 21H1) I found that I haven't had an issue with the game crashing since then. Since my fix included upgrading to 21H1 my suggestion would be if you're still on an earlier version of Windows 10 (2004, 2011, etc..) to upgrade, and then update it.

@Moofey Apologies for reviving a week-old topic, but has this still been your experience? I updated to version 21H1 and for about two days it seemed as though the crashing had stopped entirely. It's back to occurring at least once per play session though.

I did the same.

You'd need to follow this guide to use your pre-existing data on the Steam version: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1056640/view/2744333355093860744

But i if you've already fully logged in on Steam, I don't think you can transfer your Microsoft Store progress over to said Steam account, unfortunately, according to the guide above, anyway

@SuperXTornado It's part of the NGS installation. You can select to log directly into the base game's lobby from the character selection screen upon logging into the game, but first you'll have to do the NGS prologue story line on at least one character on the account, which doesn't take too long. Once you've done that though you can switch between NGS and the base game from either the character select screen or by changing blocks in-game (using any ryuker teleport device in NGS, one being in the city you end up in after the prologue).

I'm having the same issues with random crashing (also using the Steam client), but it's sort of been on and off since the game launched.

The first few times happened during the opening story line, just as I made it to the city, was told about mags and was sent to the fountain area to trigger another cutscene. Crashed there twice, disconnected once, and each time I had to restart a bit further back in the story, just after waking up outside of the ruined village.

I've already reported the crashes mentioned above, and can understand that the launch server lag likely contributed to the problems at the time.

It seems lately though that it's been happening much more than usual. Just last night I crashed three times, twice with the game just freezing and Windows prompting me to close it, and once with the game just stopping and closing itself.

I also can't really pinpoint the supposed issue, unfortunately, due to just how random it seems. All I can really confirm is that I was in Central Aelio on ship 1, not far from the city, and I'm certain at least two of the times I was running when it occurred, either playing my level 20 Force or level 16 Gunner. No noticeable lag to speak of.

I checked my game logs but I'm unable to find any sort of beneficial crash log of any kind.

Posting my specs as well in the off-hand event they'll be found beneficial (I'm running the game in the recommended settings, which were also verified by the official NGS benchmark tool):

I figured this would be the next response. I'm glad I wasn't disappointed.

I've been investing in this game via premium subscription since it's NA launch. Clearly, Sega would have little to no interest releasing NGS without the temptation of profit. Thus, all profits made from the base game were without a doubt a driving motivation.

Now let's be real here. What we've received here isn't a complete product, nor was it properly tested prior to release. I'm not going to write an essay, but if you were to say you're pleased with the way things have been going, I don't know that I'd believe you.

Also, don't be afraid to support a project you invest heavily in time-wise. But when problem after problem occurs, it's difficult to justify continuation of funding. I don't believe in any way I'm in the wrong for my less than pleasant experience thus far.

Problem after problem? A weather issue that was fixed in 2 days? Besides the launch lag, everything else has been great. Gigantics even with the weather were great. Countless 32 man groups. Good gear. Easy to farm. Can grind all day or an hour. If it’s not that pleasant for you then take a break. Play Genshin. Play FFXIV. Play anything else. You’re not forced to buy premium. You’re not forced to do any of that. It’s a new game. You knew well in advance how it would be. Content wise it’s exactly what they said it would. Down to the cap. The scratches. The announcements. Gignantics update.

Shit happens. Base PSO 2 had far worse issues than this has had so far minus that first week. Nothing that severe has happened besides the first week. They didn’t wait til next week to do this maintenance like they could have either. They’re fixing it now. Shit takes times. It’s also GLOBAL. Things have to come out all at once. Between 2 countries blah blah blah. It’s not even to say the fault is with the NA side either.

PSO 2 lasted 10 years. They’re doing something right.

Launch lag that apparently didn't occur on the JP servers (admittedly can't confirm, as I don't play on JP).

PSO2 -> NGS models appearing incorrectly upon initial load. In other words, my character doesn't load properly for others, and theirs don't load properly for myself. The issue corrects itself, but is still present.

That's what I meant by problem after problem.

I'm not going to argue with you. I encourage them to fix the problems, and add everything to the menus that remains grayed out upon finishing the current quests. I enjoy the game itself, but there's no need to act like it's okay.

5+ hours to address a specific problem that occurred after the weekly 5 hour scheduled maintenance because they clearly didn't beta test the implementation. That's gold.

I've had this happen before, and honestly I'm not 100% sure what fixed it. It's working fine for me currently, however.

If it keeps happening, try deleting your web browser's cache/temporary files (make sure you don't delete your saved passwords, Autofill form data, etc. Resetting your cookies may be a good idea, but note it'll automatically sign you out of all websites you're currently signed into).

Also try using another web browser, if you have one. Google Chrome is what I'm currently using, but honestly any modern browser shouldn't have any issues...

You may have to allow pop-up windows for the website, also, seeing as how the Microsoft option opens a new window entirely.

Good luck!

I renewed my premium status on December 27, at which time I realized the trading function was down.

I consider myself fairly patient. But here it is, January 6, and I'm still unable to trade with others who have premium. When I try, I receive the following:

"There is currently a problem with the selected function. Use is restricted for investigation. Please check the player's site for details."

The servers just came out of maintenance earlier today, along with a patch.

1/3 the duration of my premium subscription being active, and I'm still unable to trade.

I don't really want the free triboost for the inconvenience, I'd simply like to know what's going on and when the trade function will be back? The game is over eight years old now, I find it a little difficult to believe it's still riddled with this many issues... it seems to be a constant thing, honestly.

Thanks for any info.
