Okay...
So, I've been encountering this problem for a few days. Somehow I temporarily "fixed" this bug and was playing nicely until two days ago and yesterday it happened again.
Backstory (Might be necessary, might be not)
Spoiler!
Yesterday:
I had the ENG Patch, Large Files and the Story Patch installed.
I was going to run the game as usually, but it said that there was a tweaker, an ENG Patch and a Large Files update. I clicked ok and begged that wouldn't screw PSO2 again.
I launched the game. It crashed.
I ran the tweaker and it said:
Code:
Story Patch: Not installed
(dafu-)
Okay. So I said to myself that I would see what was going on pso2_bin directory for the first time. I thought that I could recover the Story Patch files from somewhere in C:\PHANTASYSTARONLINE2\pso2_bin\data\win32\backup but there was nothing there. So I thought okay maybe there's an older version of this directory from Windows backup. It had! So I recovered Story Patch directory inside of the backup directory and copied win32 and Story Patch directories to my desktop in case I lose it again (took me so long...).
So I opened Tweaker and clicked Check for old/missing files
It said:
Code:
Story patch backup found, restoring... Restoring Story Patch backup... [OK!]
I closed and reopened the Tweaker again but it continued with "Story patch: not installed"
...
Today:
I searched for some things that I could do and ran again Check for old/missing files. HOWEVER, after it was done I closed and reopened the Tweaker and it said
Code:
"Current EN Patch version is: Not Installed
Current Large Files version is: Not Installed
Current Story Patch version is: Not Installed"
(plus: I still can't run the game)
WHY
Problem
What do I do...?
Whenever I update or check the files tweaker says that the patches I've downloaded and installed are not installed anymore. And I can't run the game.
Even if I download and install it all over again (that will make the game work again, that's what I did the last time), I won't be able to update it anymore without bugging again - I will need to install ALL the files everytime.
UPDATE:
Don't know if this helps, but I opened the Tweaker again and here is the log (is causing and error):
Code:

Well, I had a response from another person from the community, but I don't know why it's gone.
Basically I learned two things:
I can't update using the new method, so I need to cancel whatever update popup that the Tweaker asks me and search for updates manually without using the new method tag
When I click Check for old/missing files the Tweaker uninstalls the english patches, so that's why they were all gone
I downloaded everything again and I'm playing normally.
As I didn't need to update anything by now, I'm going to let this thread open until I'm sure that I won't have any problems using the old method in the next update. When I do, I'll update this thread.
