[Cannot start the game]

You don't need that the game downloads automatically.

I was just posting the way I got it to work. I did it the way I was told above and it still won't work.

[Cannot start the game]

But there is something I don't understand here. How do you get wOnline.exe and wOption.exe ?

I mean, I downloaded the game again (from the ultima site), uninstalled and deleted my previous folder. re-installed the game in another place, looked before, under and after the patch. And not only once I got those files in the folder.

What are you doing to get those files in the folder ? does they arrive everytime you start the game or you manually insert them ?

It's the "Latest Patch" in the downloads http://www.phantasystaronline.net/downloads.php

those are the files in the rar.

Ok, then, we will need to know exactly what type of pc do you have ?

Laptop ? desktop ? CPU ? RAM ? GPU ? HDD ? HDD space left ? Display Resolution ? GPU driver numbers ? any BSOD (blue screen of death) recently ? any crash or freeze ? Directx updated ?

And finally, you said:

Can you say us more about this ? windowed ? Full-screen ? what resolution used for the game and desktop ? Can you take some screenshot before reaching patching process ? (hide your guildcard/log info though)

Sorry, but since your case seems a bit complicated, we need the most information possible.

Desktop,

Intel i7 Ivy Bridge 3770

32gb of DDR3 ram

Nvidia Geforce GTX 780TI

Seagate Desktop HDD 2TB

280GB of space left

Display resolution 1920X1080

GPU driver version is 347.09

no BSOD's or crashes recently

Directx is updated.

And in the case of the PSOBw working, it was from the update on the site under the full download. It was Windowed at 1280x720 with 32bit colour depth. My desktop was still at 1920x1080. It wouldn't start from the wOnline.exe so I ran the PSOBw as an administrator and the game opened up and let me log in. Once I did it would download the first patch, then I hit enter the program ends, I open it again, a second patch, it finished and the program ends. THen the third time it tries to patch the PSOBB.pat file does it and I close the program again. Open it up log in and hit start game and it downloads a patch for the PSOBB.pat. This part happens endlessly unless I use the wOnline.exe and then start game. I get a "Failed to upload patch" error and the game won't open after that.

Here's the screenshots of the process. http://imgur.com/a/q3OG9

Ok so then:

First be sure to have downloaded this version here:

https://mega.nz/#!m1gnxbIR!Gs6pAD2zt1kRu4PO_MnMkqTbIQgIWRcm-WiUY3jBMIw

Secondly, after the download is done:

- uninstall the game

- delete the folder

- install the game

then, go into the Phantasy Star Online Blue Burst folder and delete everything that is not a folder, like this:

Finally, download this:

http://gravitrek.com/forum/junkyard/doudoudidou.zip(the link will be available for 24h)

And extract this archive into the folder. now just do this:

And see now if the game start normally by: Go to > online.exe > Start Game

Still nothing, not sure why my computer is being so difficult with this game.

Didn't work, here's a screenshot of my folder and the resolutions.

You must have either installed something or added something that screwed up the folder.

Your PSO folder contain some files that don't need to be there, like those:

Are you using or inserting files from this site ? > http://revpso.com

If so, re-download the game from Ultima site without uninstalling the actual one, then, re-install the game.

And finally, after the install is complete, go to the folder (and not in windows control panel > uninstall or any shortcut), and choose Uninstal.exe and nothing else.

After the uninstall done, delete the whole Phantasy Star Online Blue Burst folder.

Like that, you will be able to re-install again the game, and then download the update. (and don't add anything into the folder until all update is done)

To start the game you need to do only this: Phantasy Star Online Blue Burst > online.exe > Start Game. Any other things will may lead to some trouble.

Just did a fresh install and only started the online.exe. WHen I click start game nothing happens.

I know exactly what you're problem is. If you're trying to start the game by clicking on the App you have highlighted it won't work. You need to be using the 'Online' above 'Options' and run that one as Admin as Soly said before.

This is how my PSOBB folder looks so you can see what I mean:

Problem is when I do that the game won't start at all. regardless of resolution settings and running as administrator the game won't open, at all.

It's in the same folder I installed PSO in.

[Cannot start the game]

Yes I am, but the game just won't start through the launcher. but it opens if I use the PSOBBw exe.

I downloaded installed and downloaded the patch on the site. And the only way I can get the game to start is by running the PSOBBw exe. I sign in and start the game and it downloads a patch, after that open it again. download another patch, same thing again. I download a patch a third time and then it just stops opening the exe.

I've uninstalled and re-installed this thing 5 times already, it just refuses to work.
