pso2 tweaker

[CoffeeBoyKiri]

hello everyone! , sorry if this isn't the right place to post all this , but i'm desperate , this is gonna be confusing so strap in , pso2 is not available on steam in my country , so my only option was the tweaker , i downloaded the steam version from the tweaker , thinking it'd run normally (dumb i know) , the only reason i chose the steam one cuz i heard so many bad things about the MS store one , but what's done is done , now i downloaded the entire game , 70 something gb's , i pressed start pso2 , it opened steam but nothing happened , nada , nothing at all , is there a way to run the MS store version using the steam one's files? , right now i'm in the process of ''checking local files'' on the tweaker , as it detects the files i already downloaded , i'm waiting for it to finish in hopes that this will make it work , and in the mean time i'll post this thread to see if anyone replies , and yes i already did the powershell thing before checking the local files , now all i'm waiting for is to see what will happen after it's done checking , will it work out , or will it tell me to download the whole game again , sorry for the confusion , i'm really frustrated , i've been trying to make this work for a full day now , i'm not good with these coding/computer things at all , so i know nothing and i'm so confused , thanks for reading all this , and sadly i don't have the luxury of redownloading the game from scratch , cuz i have a limited monthly internet quota , and taking 70 gb's out of it already destroyed it hard , i can't take another 70

TLDR: downloaded steam version from tweaker cuz i can't download it normally cuz region restriction, didn't work (literally nothing happened when i pressed start pso2) , now i wanna know how to run the MS store version without having to re-download the whole game

This is the guide that is used to convert the Microsoft Store version to Steam but I do not know if you can apply these steps to the Microsoft Store version instead (point it to your Steam version).

I would hope this works because the Microsoft Store version uses identical files. If it "fails" to find the rest of the files I would hope that instead of redownloading a whole 70+ GB worth of files it can still pick up what you have from the Steam version downloaded and use those.

You can't, need a steam account id which is controlled by valve and tweaker has no access to and you are region blocked. Otherwise any hacker or bad person can use your id and login, having the game files mean nothing for an online game.

Either wait for regional release, or play with windows version via xbox account. Windows version is also console version, so you can look at console like Xbox Series S...

Honestly, the windows store version isn't so bad as long as you do it through the tweaker. It takes a few steps but it's all outlined on the arks-layer website. I haven't had any more trouble with the win store version once I switched to using the tweaker launcher. (I will note if you do use the win store version you will need to have a Microsoft account to use as your login.)

Like I said, at that point, it takes so much extra work to play that you might as well play the Japanese version. Global is already dying anyway. During Deus EQ today, only 4 people showed up and I was there from a minute into the EQ. The port was completely botched, with several bizarre changes that make no sense. Reall,y just get a Sega ID and play the real PSO2, this one is probably not worth it. I will say the same in my official review when I've prepared it.

Deus UQ have two version, one is Multiplayer (12), other is Team solo (4), you might have join the team version
On either version, got no problem with finding a group to join, problem is people joining and fill up the room too fast (♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥). I'm on ship 1 btw

I'm on Ship 2 (same as my Japanese character, did it for simplicity). I'm not max level yet, so I didn't do the 4-man version. It was regular Deus, after Quna's concert, 12 limit. Mind you we still won while not having enough people, but the fact that after waiting at the teleporter for nearly 10 minutes, no one else showed up at all, and I got a room from the start. Beyond those 4, no one else showed up, and in prime time playing hours at that. Maybe it's just Ship 2 dying, then, but I absolutely will not make a new character on a separate ship. If Ship 2 dies on Global, I just go back to playing the Japanese version exclusively.

Well depend on the difficulty, people also not joining in UQs, any lower than Super hard tend to not have a lot of people since the reward isn't worth it for a long run
Though that said, what I said above about not having problem finding UQs room, I only do Extreme now so it might be the case for not have that sort of trouble

Ship 2 is mostly "elites" that are playing for at least 6 months since console launch. You won't see many lower difficulty UQ runs.

Especially Deus, as it will block the 2nd phase UQ if you run anything lower than the highest difficulty due to the matching difficulty needed for a lv 80/80 character.
