Back in the day on the Dreamcast version, everytime you played the game there was a fear at the back of your mind. A fear of character death, a fear of losing items or just general crashing that ruined the experience. Will my character get corrupted today, or will I be ok?
Thats the risk you always took when playing the game. That was back then, and this is now.
I am quite honestly disgusted with PSO on Xbox. A game that is obviously approved by MS for Xbox as far as online gaming and security goes, and it has problems with it.
Last night during a Heat Sword download quest my Xbox locked up. The screen went black on the little FMV sequence, although the music was still playing, and for a short time I could still talk to my mate online. He said I was just standing there. This bug has been in since the ORIGINAL Dreamcast V1 release, and I just cannot believe that its still around now, on Microsofts console. This problem is server side apparently, and nothing to do with my stock PAL unmodded Xbox and 600k NTL broadband connection (which by the way is perfect, and never EVER has any problems on web serving on my computer or any other online games on XB Live).
The second crash last night was at the end of a HS quest later in the eveing. I think its known as Freeze Screen Of Death, or FSOD. Again, this is server side apparently, and nothing to do with me.
From the first crash I lost two VERY high level mags I was carrying for my other characters (obviously unequipped), and money I was caryying. I don't care about the money, but the time I put into the mags and the work involved is really very annoying indeed. To make matters worse I started with 2 more mags later in the evening, to then lose them AGAIN in the 2nd crash.
After this occurance, I really dont know if I want to play this clearly bugged and very unreliable game anymore. Its just not worth the pain if it happens again.
Anyone suffered from this on XB?
Thanks for reading.
