Nexon account link broken?

[AstralSaiyan]

So I link my Nexon account with my PS5 and Steam in hopes my PS5 progress would cross over to PC since I was about 4 hours in. But once I linked it seemed to remove all my progress and start me from the beginning even on PS5. I unlink and everything is back to normal. Why advertise as Cross Save if that is not true? Or is it something they just need to fix?

Did I maybe make this confusing?

Basically, I linked my PS5 account. Then I go onto The First Descendant on steam with that also linked. But it doesn't have my PS5 progress. My PS5 progress is also reset. But once I unlink everything is back to normal. So I am wondering, is this how Nexon intended it to be or is something wrong?

I'm in the same situation but on the contrary, I'm well advanced in the game with steam, and as soon as I link the nexon account for the PS5 and start again at the beginning

If you unlink and everything is still there then that means you played on a guest account that Nexon created for you when you first launched TFD(yes beta versions too). Please make sure you are using the correct nexon account (like your actual account that uses an email and password) before actually playing and buying items.


I recommend you to login on nexon and check if steam and PSN are linked. If they are that's good. Now launch the game and check if there's progress (make sure you go to account settings and check that it says nexon account linked). Now if there's no progress then unlink your steam and PSN from nexon and check if there's progress on steam and on PSN, if they have different progress then that means Nexon created 2 guest accounts for you, one for PSN and one for Steam. If that's the case then there's nothing you can do but start over. Cross progression only works when you have progress on a real nexon account. Hope this explains it a bit.

I had the exact same issue and here is how I “dixed” it:
1. Unlink account for the PS5 ver
2. Close the PS5 ver
3. Log into the game on PC
3. Save and log out
4. Run the PS5 ver once more, link account.
And boom I am in. No idea wtf happened.

There should have been a message saying that the only way for cross save to work and progress be saved, is to link to Nexon. Because I started playing without linking an account. I was hoping it would be similar to Warframes cross save feature, no need to start over for that.

Also why when I go to Nexon is there no The First Descendant in the list of games? And why on The First Descendant site is there no option to link account or even log in?

So you didn't have to start from the beginning? All your progress was carried over after linking?

Because I've done it twice now and it always starts me from the beginning, I just want my non linked progress to carry over when I link.

Yep when I first linked my account on PS5 and logged in it took me to the “select a starting descendant” screen.

I knew something was wrong so I did not proceed from there. Then I did the above and I have my PC progression data. (= linked successfully)

Sorry if I misunderstood your purpose.

Yes it's very unclear and they still need to add TFD to the nexon website.

[3all*****]

Nexon website lists kart racing and all their other games... right? Not The First Descendant! Firstly, that's spooky. Second, aside from not even claiming their game, I have to say cross progress, save, cross anything is a lie. Yes, I have a Nexon account. No, they don't have their **** together. Great game tho

Nexon went a total dumbass on implementing this link. Reason is by default the moment you launch the game dear STEAM and Nexon link to eachother automatically, but the neither of them fails to mention that the "Nexon account" which your steam gets linked to is basically what you call a placeholder. It is there, it exists there yet it doesnt.

For 2 days now I have been trying to link my damn steam to my ONE AND ONLY Nexon account that I have had for damn forever now, but I cant simply because this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game refuses to unlink the nexon acc from my steam acc. Which in turn prevents me from linking the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ steam account to my old nexon account which I made myself.

unless you made a nexon account separately and manually linked it
nexon seems to auto link to your Steam account email by default
so either try same password as your steam
otherwise well..
atleast now you should know the exact mail it is using
otherwise
if you ever played vindictus, combatarms or maple years ago
then try to remember if you might of been using a different email for your steam
If So try one of those if you hopefully remember them
