hey guys i need help..i tried launching the game and all it does it get stuck here...

any suggestions? just let it go or what?

Yes, you let it sit there until it gets done. Its a patch that's downloading, it may take awhile. When that finally gets done, nProtect gamegaurd will download, which only takes a few minutes, and then, relaunch the pso2.exe, click on the big blue square and it will work.

Has anyone been able to find out what problem #602 is? Or any of the status problems? I just want to be prepared to fix this problem before tomorrow. People say reseting your password should helps and such, and I hope that helps. The other thing that REALLY concerns me is the DNS problem. Anyone hear anything?

when will the English patch work or is there going to be a now one

About 4 more hours until round two of the pre-open beta starts. For me however, it will be the first round as i have been occupied with daily life. For anyone who would like to be playing with other people whom speaks/talk english, a friend and i will be joining into ship 2 as psublog has stated they are also going into. Currently we are unaware of any known compatible english patches so we will attempt to play in jp and refer to others' screen shots + guides/notes. We will attempt the run to obtain the Bouquet Rifle.
My character name (class/race undecided) will be Pokemon Crayons so feel free to send a friend request or party up with us if we aren't already full. I will be playing for the full amount of time that the pre-open beta is up although it is kinda akward timing as i live in California running on pacific time (3am-8am). (Attempting to run using gamepad instead of keyboard. PS3 controller at the moment since i don't have an adapter for my 360 controllers)
Once i have successfully completed the mission i will try to party up with others who may need help with the run or just the game in general. Hope to see you all in game!

thanks!! i guess i just got impatient and thought it froze or something haha.

only 19 mins left

i have read some of the peoples forums who created the English patch for first beta. They are not going to bother working with it for these two few hour Pre-beta runs till official open beta starts. When that occurs they will work on getting a new one out for us to enjoy the game.

If you already played once before then you sega id and pass should still work. I played a little of the open beta and the new area looks great. but the time aloted this time around was just too short. Still no english option unfortunately. They are still looking to release it by the end of the year so maybe they'll consider adding a little english by then. I am a little tired of playing hard and getting my stuff and character erased so i think i'll play again when it releases. To all you testers out there have fun and i'll see you on there again when it releases.

Just to notify anyone who reads this, it appears that extended Saturday's time by two hours, to end 1 pm EST/10 am PST. At least that's what the launcher appears to say.
Maybe I was impatient in the patch process, but I just scrapped it and began redownloading... Taking some precious PSO time up...

so everything finished downloading and the patch started, not very far in the patch I got SOME KIND of error obviously I can't read it but does anyone know what it is?

i noticed that while playing, at 11:00 i was liike, um, why is it not shutting down? But i only got to play +30 mins cause im goin to lunch =[. Cant wait for open beta =P

So it ended fellas.
Those extra 2 hours were sweet. The game is just awesome, although an english patch would help a lot.

Btw, during the time i was playing, the bar that stays at the top of the screen, said something about June 21th...could it possibly be the open beta?

Boy, I sure had a blast! It was the best morning ever. At first I was confused, lots of Japanese people, but I met one nice Canadian girl or boy, it really didnt matter cus we had a good time conversating and leveling up. This beta is just the beginning.

i know what u mean but i played by myself and i was completely satisfied and fascinated by the game

oh yeah, even when I was alone before I met my new friend, i had a great time. The combat system is so enjoyable! But you can chill with me, and if I can find my friend. I was on ship 1.

According to the homepage the official OB starts on 21th of June, so yeah, looking forward to that. The gameplay really was enjoyable and although it lacked the depth of e.g Guild Wars 2, it brought up so much nostalgia from the original PSO. Definitely going to stick around.

Yeah, i had the same problem just now, My Update was close to finifhing & got a error :/ i dont know what to do, if this keeps happening, i might have to drop Pso2 ;_;

Indeed, the combat is so vibrant and fluid + the nostalgia factor. GW2 is another game i'm looking up to.
Btw, does anyone got a MAG? i know they will be in the game, but, i didn't manage to get one.

When I was downloading th Patch, i recived some sort of error & had to close the patch & when i re opened the patch, it started from the beginning -.- I dont know what to do, im lookiung up sto see if anyone has the problem as i do & nothing. Can ANYONE in any sort help me please, i really want to play this game atleast on the Open beta since i couldnt get this done for Pre-open beta
