after the launcher is launch, then i click start game but nothing come out but the game is running
any solutions?
i really love the pso series and wanna play this game but when i try to go to pso2.jp to download the jp client the page just wont load for me. is it a region thing (i live in the US) or is the site not working anymore? thanks!
Did you try setting it to Wumbo? No but seriously try downloading it off the playpark website,. It’s going to take a while but it might be worth. Last time I heard the pso2.jp site was under ddos attacks
