The tweaker lets you go into game but it is actually failing internally due to their servers being down.This probably won't cause any issues but the key there is "probably". Astra was written with the idea that the arks layer API wouldn't die often so accessing their services is a required step. A fallback for this for when their servers are having issues may be added if this becomes more common, I am not too worried right now as my understanding is that they are doing some big changes at the moment so things should calm down in the future.

I would certainly appreciate a fallback. I don't think Astra should require the Arks Layer servers to function.

Has anyone else been experiencing issues with Astra lately? It doesn't seem to be patching the game properly, and I'm getting missing icons and frequent crashes.

Edit: After patching the game with PSO2 Tweaker, everything seems fine. So it seems that this would be a bug in Astra, where it's not properly updating the game files. One of the claims with Astra was that it would always keep the game in a working and stable state. I hope this can be fixed soon.

Edit 2: Broken again when I run the game with Astra...

Hey, can you give some reproduction steps once you have got into game with Astra because I can't find any immediate issues. Thanks.

I haven't been able to get large address aware to work recently. It used to work for me when astra was first released publicly. It throws the error, uploads log, then re-checks and downloads the 1 file ( i assume pso2.exe) and repeats itself.

Thanks for reporting this.

I'm unable to recreate the error myself, but hopefully I have fixed the only thing I can think of that could have caused it. Please let me know if the latest release solves it for you.

It worked, thank you very much.

Works like a charm so far! Thanks for making this. Alternatives are always nice to have.

What are the chances of separating sections of the English patch in a future update? It might be weird, but I don't like having item names or titles translated.

In the future I am thinking of implementing a more powerful plugin management system with support for more than just languages but that will take a lot of effort because of how much management astra has to do. I'll see if I can make a light version of this for just the English patch when I have some time.

I keep having to use PSO2 Tweaker to update my game. I don't understand what's causing this. PSRT Astra worked great in the past, but now it just never seems to update anything. When I click the launch process, it goes through all its steps, but at the comparing/verifying files stage it only does like 1-6 files. Then I get into the game and I'm clearly not updated, as new content is missing and the game is crashy. I open PSO2 Tweaker and the game patches fine and downloads the entire update.
