BBA setup but screen freezes before ship select...

Post by Brodie_Man »

Hello friends.

I'm glad to have found this community. I'm an old school PSO player from the old days!

I was having the "NO ISP found" issue first, but after using XDP I successfully got it working.

I'm using the NA version of PSOv2. Now after the serial information, it takes me to that portal screen and normally I expect to see the "select a ship" option after the wait, but it just freezes for a couple minutes and said something about not being able to connect before taking me back to the main screen.

Am I missing anything else?

Are you using the Sylverant PSO Patcher disc before booting the game (every time, of course)? Honestly, to me that sounds like it's failing to verify your Hunter's License with Sega's (long defunct) server, which is one of the things that the PSO Patcher takes care of for you.

Hi BlueCrab! That for the quick response.

I'm def using the patcher. The latest one. when I put the GD in after it tells me to, it loads some stuff and then says "inserted disc is unknown......press start to load anyway".

That might be the problem? I downloaded the latest patcher on the site.

Any ideas?

Should I try a different patcher?

It does have a PSO logo in the background right? Just making sure you didn't accidentally burn the Planet Ring one.

That said, if it says the disc is unknown, that's the problem there. It doesn't know how to patch your disc, so it doesn't even try.

Heh, well, I'm glad it's (hopefully) that easy of a fix. :mrgreen:

That was it!! Woohoo!!!

I'm on with my DC. Oh man. You guys. Thanks so much for putting this together. Truly amazing!

Are there usually more on DC or is it just random? Looks like a lot of GC players in the first ship. I'm at altimira now.

Players tend to come in clumps, in general. We did have more DC/PC players than GC ones for a long time -- I suspect we still do. That said, most DC/PC players tend to be around on the weekends. :wink:

And, you're welcome. I wrote Sylverant because it was fun to do. I keep it up because it is still fun to do and it gives other people enjoyment too. :mrgreen:

There are usually GC players online on weeknights, but we often hit double digits for DC/PC players on Saturday afternoons.
