PSO2 JP: Patch (8/15/2012)
In order to continue playing Phantasy Star Online 2, you are required to update your game. When you open the launcher, press the “ファイルチェック” file check button to begin the patching process. You can also just start the game and it will begin patching automatically.
Launcher is currently:
- Version 01.02.07
Client Update
- ver.1.0005.2
- Dark SuN’s Windows Administrator Permissions Fix
You can confirm these version numbers at the lower left corner of the Launcher, and lower right corner of the Game Client.
Patch Size
- 30MBs
Patch Notes
- Corrected a bug where the Quartz Dragon was invisible.
- Corrected a bug where you float in the air after getting caught up in the tornado in F. Continent.
- Corrected a bug where the Code Rescue event would continuously repeat and the dome would not show up.
- Countermeasures for malicious exploits that would hinder others’ gameplay.
- Countermeasures against cheat tools.
- Changed the block names on all ships.
- Adjusted the item drop rate on F. Continent.
- Adjusted the balance of the entire quest of the floating continent to increase the number of enemies that appear and increase the enemy appearance rate. Made small adjustments to the size of the area in order to increase the enemy density in the Caterdransa and Free-F.Continent Exploration quests.
- Eased the clear conditions of the “Egg Collection” Emergency Trial.
- For the F. Continent, the placement conditions of the rare containers you could destroy only if you met a certain requirement was changed.
- Prevented the NPC “Aki” from being absent due to your progress through the matter board.
(If you are downloading the game for the first time, you will have to download an update which requires 3.6GBs of free space.)

As per usual, here's the PSO2.exe for those who have permission issues after the update: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/2280026/pso2exe.zip

I had to do the update of course, but didnt get any permission errors. Is there a reason why some are affected and some arent?

Is it still safe to use the english patch after the ToS announcement? If ever this will just be my first time to use that patch

@Mark – What OS are you using?

Thanks for the response! I'm using Win7 64-bit
Game works great! I'm still level one but I'm excited! Waiting for the maintenance to finish

@Meka: Since everything in the English patch is client sided, it is therefore undetectable by GameGaurd's CRC. It's safe.

@Mark: It's apparently related with how the launcher updates the game and then assigns permissions to the executable when copying it from the temporary folder into the normal game folder, for some people it keeps assigning "system" permissions first, but then due to lack of user permissions it can't set the user permissions so that users can use them. The weird part is that this didn't happen before, but now it does.
This is more or less the gist of the permissions bug that plagues some people and not others, which depends on their default user windows user rights when updating PSO2.

Yeah I use windows 7 64-bit as well and have had no problems either. it appears the majority of the issues with the game stem from unforeseen issues with windows XP.

Fixing the PSO2.exe yourself is actually fairly easy:
right click the PSO2.exe (or any other PSO2 executable that has access issues) and select . In the new window,g o to the tab and click continue. Another window comes up where you can see the users and grouos that have access to the file. Click add and enter the windows username where you want run PSO2. Alternatively, if that user has administrator rights, just add " administrators ". click ok and the window closes. In the list of allowed users should now be the entry you just added. click on it. in the lower half of the window is a list of access rights for that user/group. Check allow on the first one, this should check all other entries as well. Close all windows with ok and you are done.

the previous post is for windows 7 and mos likely also vista. XP should be similar in most ways

When I start the launcher, it appears a box, and the launcher closes, after this, the pso2updater launchs and it corrupts the pso2launcher.exe. WHAT CAN I DO NAO? D:

the item drop rate on F. continent doesn't seem fixed.
I've killed about 30 caterdransas with S-rank on the quest, trying for an item for a client order (unlocking Guts Drink EX)
Bosses aside, mobs barely even drop shit for me, dammit!

@Roast Beef Maybe u could try breaking its head and tail's crystal this will increase it drop rate i think.

@roast beef
I might be wrong, but AFAIK ingredients for guts drink EX are not drops from caterdransa, but from caterdran (volcano map)…
