Can't start the game.

I just got the game a few minutes ago, started it up but I can't seem to play the game. After the launcher closes itself PSO2 NG won't pop up.

I've already googled and done the %appdata% files thing, and my current Windows is 10 Home which should be able to run it just fine.

This looks like an issue with the gameguard, the reason why your game is closing. Got this information from Phanstasy Star Fleet and see if it checks out with your current opened apps.

Things that gameguard hate or might conflict :
- bluestack broken link ( file not there, but registry still there )
- Logitech WingMan Event Monitor ( either uninstall or find more updated version )
- Bonjour Service ( gameguard hate every apple app )
- easy anticheat ( don't run another game with anticheat )
- megasync -> disable for now, enable again after no longer stuck.
- Content Manager Assistant for PlayStation(R).lnk -> disable for now, enable again after no longer stuck.
- c:\program files\intel\intel(r) rapid storage technology\iastoriconlaunch.exe -> disable for now, enable again after no longer stuck.
- Elements Auto Creations 2021 -> disable for now, enable again after no longer stuck.

Check if your CPU has AVX, the game won't work without it

yeah probably a problem with gameguard. maybe your antivirus accidently block it from running i guess?

Yeah, I think I'm done with trying to get into this game. None of these solutions worked for me sadly, and I've reinstalled a total of 5 times with 3 being from steam, 1 from epic games launcher and the last from Microsoft store.

Edit: I lied, I still want to play but I for some reason can't launch...
