MY FRIENDS! I have your PSN workaround salvation and it's easy!

[jontheoverlord]

start the game up from "Bates-Win64-Shipping.exe" and NOT "Bates.exe" which the game launches from by defualt,
I repeat, start the game up from "Bates-Win64-Shipping.exe".

You get to it via Until Dawn/Windows/Bates/Binaries/Win64

I dont see that option.

Skip sign in is literally to the left of sign in when the game launches

If this game is anything like God of War Ragnarok, you won't be required to log in if you had already logged in on the same PC via another PlayStation game. If you haven't, then you'll be required to log in to play at all (unless, in this game's case, you use the alternate .exe). In God of War, you can skip *linking* a PSN account to your Steam account, but you can't skip *logging into* a PSN account via at least one PlayStation game, and I suspect that every PlayStation game going forward will work the same way.

do you have the solution to bypass the " region lock implemented by Sony" ?

Until I don't see any screenshots of proof, the information given here should be considered false. There literally is NO "skip sign-in" button anywhere; at least not until you've already linked your PSN to your Steam account (which many people might not have).

For me personally, the sign-in process somehow always fails with an error message and then gets stuck in an endless loop where it asks me to link my account again.

Nothing can be done to circumvent this, except running the game from the "Bates-Win64-Shipping" exe, but then almost NONE of the graphics settings will save properly and reset to completely wrong and nonsensical values upon relaunch.

my problem here is , when i close the game the Norton Anti Virus say , "beta.exe is a potecional threat" so the anti virus Block the Bates.exe .
