[My friend can't get his game to start up, error 908]

I had a similar issue.  The cause was Data Execution Prevention.  Here's a link for how to add a program to the whitelist.  Hopefully that helps!

[TTF Guides with working photos?]

Both of the SS rank guides are filled with photobucket links that have 3rd party hosting disabled and the photos aren't showing up when I click through.  Any guides that still have working photos hosted on imgur or something?

[What do I do now?]

Hey, I had a few follow up questions!

 

• My mag is 11 DEF, 175 POW, 14 DEX, 0 MIND.  Should I level a DEX focused one for the ATA?
• I used a GREENNIL character to grind out a bunch of power mats, and can't consume anymore.  Is there a hard cap to the amount of mats you can consume?
• Can the backpack be expanded beyond 30 slots? If so, how?
• I've seen videos where someone appeared to be carrying 100+ trimates.  Is it possible to raise your consumable cap beyond 10, or was that a thing done on other servers?

[What do I do now?]

Hi all, I'm pretty new to the server.  I played PSO on Dreamcast & Gamecube back in the day. When I found the server I figured I'd give it a shot, and I'm having a blast.  I don't know what content I should be doing to improve my character at this point.

• I'm level 99 on my RACast (Redria).  I'm sure I could grind out more levels and there'd be improvement there.  Should I still be doing TTF Ultima, or other content at this point?
• I've got some decent low-mid range weapons (Crush Bullet for aoe, Rianov 303SNR-2 for single target).  What weapons should I be targeting from here?
• My mag is 200, but it's a Kama.  Is it worth pursuing the rare mags with special evolution requirements?
• For my armor slots I'm using 4x Master/Ability.  Should I stick with the ability upgrades or start targeting /Power units?

Thanks!

Is steam controller supported?  If so, does anyone have a key layout set up already that's working for them?

Firing a gun causing a crash sounds like it is a DEP(data execution prevention) error, you'll have to add the game to the windows DEP exceptions.
Here is a short explanation of how to add the game to the exceptions : http://www.dell.com/support/article/uk/en/ukbsdt1/sln288643/what-is-data-execution-prevention--dep--?lang=en

I followed the advice earlier in the thread and added the game to the exception list.  I'll try disabling DEP entirely and see if that resolves the issue.  Thanks!

That worked!  Thank you for the help!  Now I can play some PSO after at least a decade of missing this game!!!

Got the game working! sort of!

I can get it to launch do character creation, enter lobbies, and perform unarmed combat on my new RACast.  However, when I equipped my starting gun and went to fire, the game keeps crashing.  I can use my traps without issue, but I'm unable to fire.  I have the option for crash dump file checked, but the file isn't being generated.  When the crash happens, it's accompanied by a Windows pop-up stating "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."

 

I've got it set to run as administrator (launcher and psobb.exe) already.  Would launching in compatibility mode with a previous version of windows help the problem?

google "dep exception list windows 10"  then first link about ---   online-tech-tips.com/windows.../disable-turn-off-dep  --- it says how to turn it off step by step with images.

I saw that, but didn't want to disable entirely if it can be done via exceptions.  After more research, it's looking like windows 10 is all or nothing for DEP.  I'll give it a shot!

[I cant launch the game :(]

I just found this server and tried to start up, but I'm experiencing the same issue as Blackheart.  I'm on Windows 10, Antivirus has been disabled, launcher is set to run in Administrator mode.  I've also cycled through all of the available resolutions (with 32 bit color, haven't tried altering that or other graphic options yet).  Graphics card is NVidia GTX 960.  I've been trying to figure out how to add PSOBB to the DEP exception list, but can't seem to figure it out for windows 10.  Any help would be appreciated!
