I finally started PSO, and goddamn it's great. I've been playing EP1 and the memories come pouring in from when I first started the original on DC. Being a newb is great, I especially liked actually having a bit of difficulty in the room with 3 goboomas and 1 gigobooma.

You'll be over-coming that hurdle and get smacked down by things much worse. o_o

Glad you're having fun though!

Hell yea. Had to use 3 monomates on a single hildebear. It's hard playing without any god/battles. It's going to be even harder to find some.

I'm thinking of going online, but I'm not sure if I want to risk my character before SEGA fixes the save patch. But I've been wondering, does the FSODx happen when you JOIN or LEAVE a game?

[Klakalou]

i only fsoded in the lobby. i dont think sega will ever fix the double save.

[Dime]

They said they were working on it, in emails to numerous people. Someone has also sent them a petition with about 500 signatures to erase the double save.

[MadCowChuck_]

All that aside...I seriously doubt SEGA is going to eliminate the double save. In their minds, they'd rather prevent one method of duping than erase another chance to corrupt in one game.

On a related note...I believe FSODx can occur any time an FSOD occurs...but I believe it's happening when you enter a game...I wouldn't know, though...20+ FSODs and still no FSODx, fortunately.

I see, so I'm guessing you're one of us unfortunate GCN users then. I would have bought the XBox but it has no good games other than PSO and Mech Assault.

Either way, I guess corrupting rates can be decreased with a good ISP and a good memory card. Or so I hope.

so far i understand things, FSOD isn't caused by your ISP but by SEGAs server and by the Cube and the program it runs itself.
so far i had several lobby FSODs - they are no problem, when you havent entered a game yet, they are no problem, when you always put precious items in the bank even ingame.

i had also 3 ingame Lobby FSODs - one was all of a sudden when i entered a game on Antares (i'm from europe by the way, maybe its because of that... dunno), one was after leaving a pipe back to pioneer 2 from seabed (right after saving, screen got black, whew, i has happy i "only" lost 2 weapons...) and the other one was happening after saying bye to a shops owner and saving...

FSODX is an FSOD that happens during a saving and hopefully i'll never have to experience one.

there are many rumors about the memcards, 59, or 251, only for pso or full with other savegames... well, we'll see... with an original card you're on the 99.99% save side, i'd say...

so, online, when you follow certain rules, you'll be save from fsods or when one happen, can keep the damage minimal:
-never join games from lobby 1. FSODchances are high when leaving the game.
-use 'meet user' option carefully.
-never carry unequipped precious items with you, not even ingame - especially when you use any kind of warp/teleport (except the warps between pioneer and the directors office or the lab).

well... snappuru had a 'guide (http://www.pso-world.com/viewtopic.php?topic=48443&forum=1&2)' for this ^-^

[EsperJ]

Refrain from entering Vega games at peak times ^ ^

[DeLiRiUmTrIgGeR]

I've only FSODed while first entering the lobbies, also

[Dime]

Well if it happened due to over population, I'd guess Antares 8 would always be in constant FSOD.

That's pretty good advice, thanks but I got a Q:

So you're saying FSOD during save can happen more freqeuntly if you leave the game and get loaded into a full lobby?
