.roll4crit Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Hey there, some of you may have seen me on the shoutbox a couple times asking for help. I figured maybe a more detailed description of what's happening would be necessary for me to play PSO.. It may bare mentioning that I use Norton for my antivirus but from the research I've done PSO has only been having problems with AVG afaik. Here is a dxdiag I ran so you could get my general laptop specs: And here is a screencap of the program (run in admin mode): The client itself states there are people online, so i'm pretty confused as to why it's not working. I know I'm the only one with this problem but if someone knows enough on how to help me and could, i'd really appreciate it, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frost506 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 You need to update to the new launcher (V1.4) and it should work after that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.roll4crit Posted July 2, 2013 Author Share Posted July 2, 2013 Hm, I downloaded the full client from the site, so i still have to update after that? I'll give it a shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larva Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 once you run the game should update it self. are you able to run the game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuk Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Hmm the host changed once again from address so it might be related to that. But most users can connect so you should check if anything on your end is blocking it. Firewall Add the PSO root folder as an exception to your antivirus so it can patch without trouble just to be sure If you're using windows 7 or vista, there might be something else that blocks your connection (windows defender or something like that, I forgot) can you try to ping ultimapsobb.com and tell us if it responds?

.roll4crit Posted July 4, 2013 Author Share Posted July 4, 2013 I could try pinging it, but i don't have the ip address to ping :s also for more info, i added exceptions to pso.exe and psobbw.exe and still the same issues. the windows UA dialog always pops up, and i always allow it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.roll4crit Posted July 6, 2013 Author Share Posted July 6, 2013 I reinstalled the full client from the site and updated it with the patch. it doesn't update itself. still no luck unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuk Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 You must add the whole PSO folder as an exception, since it will also update DATA files (like skins, music, etc.). Then launch online.exe as an administrator (not PsOBB.exe) As for pinging you can also ping a domain name without a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 wow he's port blocked hard. the old launcher uses the dns and should still show the parts online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
