Hi all,
Thanks to the cybersleuthing skills of Blst, the final official PSO PC update has been recovered and is no longer lost media! As such, Ragol.org now provides the executables and files for this version, instead of just the ones from the release disc.
The normal set up process will provide any new players with the files, but if you already have PSO PC installed, simply download the files and extract them to your PhantasyStarOnline folder: https://ragol.org/files/pc/PSO_PC_Ragol_Executables.zip.
The differences between this and the installation executable are:
- The slime splitting bug is fixed! More than 12 Pouilly slimes will no longer crash the client.
- It is possible this may also fix the offline box crash issue players were having - let us know!
- Performance improvements (for those still playing on their PCs from 1999)
- The New Year's decoration on Pioneer 2 has been changed from the 21st century decoration to a Kadomatsu New Year's decoration
- The camera can be controlled with a second controller, just like the Dreamcast version.
And possibly many other minor things that SEGA did - they mainly did bug fixes but who knows what was fixed!
