So, I have a Mac and I recently started missing PSO. A lot (I used to play the Xbox version non-stop). So I installed windows on VirtualBox VM and have been getting some issues trying to launch the app. Let me go through some issues I have:
Running the .exe file takes several seconds if not minutes for the launcher to appear. Once the launcher appears it gives me these errors "Error while getting player count. Error while downloading news." Also the Patch Server, Logon Server, etc. buttons/boxes are red and are not selectable (not sure if they should be) I try clicking start game and a black window will appear (if I'm on windowed mode) for a fraction of a second then disappear.
I read that you need to select the right resolution for it to work on your computer but I have been through almost every configuration (wide screen, normal, windowed, etc) with multiple resolutions and am having no luck. Is there any other resources available for me or has anyone had these issues as well?
I just want to play PSO again.
Thanks.
