Maintenance Schedule

Upcoming Maintenances

  • September 18th @ 11:00 ~ 17:00

Wellbia Anti-Cheat Is Now Fully Implemented

During tonight's maintenance, Sega will completely switch over to the Wellbia Anit-Cheat system. As a result, it will no longer be possible to play the game using the nProtect GameGaurd system. For those of you using the English Patch, this does affect plugins, notably Item Translation and the Proxy, though the English Patch itself should still work.

Sometimes the game won't launch properly while a VPN is active. If this occurs, you may close the game, launch it without the VPN, and then launch the VPN after it gets to the EULA screen.

To launch the game without nProtect GameGuard, you will have to uncheck the compatibility mode through the game's launcher.

  • Click: 「環境設定」⇒「機能」Tab ⇒「ゲーム起動」 and uncheck 「互換性モード起勃する」
  • Click: [Preferences] → [Features] Tab → [Game Launch] and uncheck "Compatibility Mode"

If the game does not launch or cannot be played, you can perform the following troubleshooting steps.

  • Restart Your PC
  • Perform a [File Check] in the launcher.
  • Uninstall and Reinstall PSO2:New Genesis
  • Perform a Windows update
  • Update your Graphics, Sound, & System Drivers.
  • Uninstall, Shutdown, or temporarily uninstall any resident software.
  • Temporarily remove or disable security software.
  • Check if pso2.exe is allowed through Windows Defender Firewall.

PSO2 Day Changes

On September 1st, PSO2 Day will be expanded into a 3-day event and the [Monthly Special Login Bonus] will be integrated into PSO2 Day. In addition, Premium PSO2 Days will no longer occur, and instead become a 3-day event that everyone can benefit from. Premium Users who participate in PSO2 Day will receive additional bonuses during the sessions.

All Special Ability Transfer

With this feature, the [N-Special Ability Transfer Pass] will allow you to transfer ALL special abilities of an item (including empty slots and EX Special Abilities) to another item. You can transfer from weapon to weapon or armor to armor regardless of the series and weapon type.

The item selected as the source material must have the same number of slots or less than the base item chosen as the destination.

Please note that once the process is done, all special abilities on the source material item will be lost, but the item itself will remain.

N-特殊能力移植パス = N-Special Ability Transfer Pass
N-特殊能力移植パス補助券 = N-Ability Transfer Pass Voucher

How do you get the [N-Special Ability Transfer Pass]?

You can obtain it by collecting 100 [N-Ability Transfer Pass Vouchers] and trading them in for an [N-Special Ability Transfer Pass] which can be used for [Special Ability Transfers] at the Item Recycle.

How do you get the [N-Ability Transfer Pass Vouchers]?

The N-Ability Transfer Pass Vouchers can be obtained through Title Rewards or by campaigns/events.

EX Special Ability Transfer

EX Special Abilities are special abilities with unique effects dropped by items such as the Eredim series.

Under this feature, the [N-Special Ability Transfer Pass] will allow you to transfer only EX Special Abilities. This can be done only if the base item and material item have the same number of EX Special Ability Slots.

Please note that the EX Special Abilities of the Material item will disappear, but its normal special abilities will remain on that item.

Both [All Special Ability Transfer] and [EX Special Ability Transfer] require N-Meseta. However, some items such as the Eredim series can perform transfers without consuming the [N-Special Ability Transfer Pass].

  1. Hm, so this is the end of the Ryuker Proxy plugin. Does this mean it's dangerous to use and should someone go to using (another way) to continue going in normally? Or does it just mean it'll only be slightly difficult but the tweaker can still be used with that plugin?

    • Can't really say for sure, we'll have to wait and see after maint. But the most likely outcome is that proxy will no longer be working, and using vpns for us gaijins will be a thing again.

    • According to the ARKS-Layer Discord, the Ryuker Proxy (as well as the Item Patch) is non-functional until they can find if there is a way to re-enable Plug-In functionality.

      They recommend finding an alternate VPN solution for the time being.

    • You can thank this to an idiotic and annoying hacker that enabled PvP flags to harass other players being a Player killer. Thanks to this video, SEGA decided to ditch Game Guard completely. (Not the fault of the player that took the video to report the incident to SEGA, he did good…)

      I also still resent global players because if the global version never existed then we would never had that IP ban and the proxy would never be needed.

      I recommend everyone to back up the game on an external drive before proceeding with anything including opening the tweaker just in case.

  2. Lordkaiser i haven't seen anything about pvp flags. i already did a search upon reading your content and nothing- but i am aware that the previous LQ puts a flag on whichever player is doing the best. Maybe that is unhealthy for the game, good for short thrill

  3. Okay noticing for LordKaiser I actually am hearing this for the first time and that sounds very terrifying. That explains why the JP peeps got annoyed and called this out. That's a bit more infamous and even extreme than the introduction of bots (not the cool & cute Casts, I mean ACTUAL bots.) This is also why I treat the "Global" side the exact opposite of the real version and why I take people with a zero-tolerance policy from any interactions there. Despite being in both, I can confirm to this as while I was on the PS5 version once, I did catch someone actually doing something very abnormal around Dark Falz in his Aegis armor some time back. They were able to run through the center field causing him to get confused and misguide moves which was actually annoying for some players trying to fight him. I recorded and reported him as well as blacklisted that said player when I noticed this. That was bad enough for me to start getting more wary, but you said that someone done flat-up tried to turn PSO2NGS into "FortNite"? O_O

    Not once did I encounter something like that on the real version.
