So I went back to Windows 7...

OK, so I went back to Windows 7 today, to many issues with Windows 10 as well as the weekly BSOD which are more frequent than with XP.

So PSO2 is updating via the tweaker right now, not sure if I'll get to play tonight since there's been many patches since that setup file was made. This brings me to my question, is there anyway to know which files to backup (that are part of the updates) so that I won't have to this again next time?

Win32 folder in the data folder of pso2bin is important. Try making backup of that (or, the whole game is actually able to copy paste without major problem.)

The tweaker should autobackup though.

Seriously, I could backup the entire folder and just paste it back after a clean format without having the game crapping out because it can't find some DLL files or something?

That's why I did to my copy of pso2, mine was from a harddisk (and the pso2 is taken from a long gone laptop lol). All you have to do is letting the tweaker know where's the pso2_bin folder and it'll do the rest.

Oh the hours wasted -_-

Things have changed since the early days of Windows XP (ya, my PC gaming years date from that far back, been mostly a console gamer since then).

Well, live and learn I guess, thanks

Lol np

Also, you can make backup of SEGA folder in my document, so that you can have the same setup/configuration as your previous pso2, such as game resolution and graphic setting.

In general, when you move stuff between PCs, it'll go something like this:
- Either have the original installer or copy paste the files.
- In both cases, there'll sometimes be other stuff the computer relies on (eg. Direct X, .NET framework, etc).
- You should always have stuff like drivers, Direct X, etc. handy in a separate folder, and just install them all whenever you get a new PC.
- Some programs store their settings or extra stuff in weird places. There's Windows registry, My Documents/, AppData/Roaming, AppData/Local, Common Files/, etc.

So... if you're lazy, try copy paste first. If the stuff doesn't work, and you still can't get it running, make a note and write it down somewhere for next time.

Im personally not a fan of a public "ignore_list" type of thing. Just ignore their posts by entering in their name on the "ignore list" you got on the User CP page (where you edit your info and such) its more peacekeepy.

Having x users names to me is the same as calling out someone in a thread as a bad so and so and we don't allow that either. So if you would be so kind. Get rid of it and use the ignore list (http://www.pso-world.com/forums/profile.php?do=ignorelist) function.

People who complain about PSO2 not running on Windows 10 probably have fried potatoes for PCs or something among those. I'm running it just fine without any problems whatsoever.

Everyone's PCs are all different. It's extremely difficult to get consistent results when computers vary so much.
It's not just the hardware, but how the software handles the hardware, and how combinations of hardware and software affect each other.
So there's absolutely no meaning in anyone saying "it works for me so it should work for everybody else".
It's like saying "I live in a house on Earth, so there must be an identical alien just like myself on Pluto doing the exact same thing right now."
I'm pretty certain that's an extremely low possibility.

Instead of a PC, if it was a console, that would make more sense, because consoles are built to be basically the same.
It's why people like consoles - more simple, less hassle. Plug in and play. Or at least it used to be that way.

I'm actually a nice guy
I wouldn't trust people who said that to themselves. Always find out that people who said that are almost the worst scum on eath, as in, liars, constant backstabbers, attention whores, and even delictive/conflicting individuals such as drug sellers, rapists and thugs.

Not saying you're any of those, but the thing with displaying an ignore list won't help you mitigate your clearly obvious attention deficit, due to making a topic to ask a question that would be easily asked here http://www.pso-world.com/forums/showthread.php?t=213385 and we would have saved the drama of your signature in the first place.

Makes me really think you love this kind of stuff.

And now with the topic in hand, you just could move entire pso2 folder and just redownload tweaker and english patches.

I guess I did not explain myself properly. I do use the actual ignore list feature of PSOW, it's just that I put that list in my signature as well because I don't want people to waste their time replying to me when I can't see their replies. If I was on someone's ignore list, I wouldn't want to waste my time replying when they can't see my posts.

I guess I could specify this in my signature.

[Sayara]

I would still rather you don't have it there at all personally.

and by "rather" i mean to go ahead and remove it.

i backup th4e entire pso2 folder monthly.

you can dump install it and it will run perfectly fine.

Oh that's right, we have a tech support forum :p

[RibbonSoft]

I'm gonna have to side with the_importer on this one Sayara. I don't care if you are a mod. I think the_importer is doing a courtesy by letting those blisted know that they are blisted and not waste their time typing a response that will never be seen. I know that if I was blisted (and I am certain people have blisted me here) I would like to know so I don't waste my time typing to them instead of thinking I'm getting the silent treatment.

Thanks for the support, but I don't think many people are going to see this now. Mind you, Sayara was right to put this in Tech support since this has more to do with a technical issue, but if I forgot about this forums existence, others probably did too :(

Aside from silly decisions about black listing people, I'm trying to do the copy/paste thing, and it's continually just reinstalling PSO2, it seems. Even though I've pointed it to the right folder. Any suggestions?
