Pso2 Tweaker
Arks-Visiphone is an English database for the North American version of Phantasy Star Online 2, an online action RPG created by Sega and published by Microsoft in North America.
Try and use the PSO Tweaker as listed below before anything else provided you can get the game to download from the windows store. Now the big one, ownership of files. Everyone seems to think deleting their backup folders means they should just delete the entire thing. This is breaking their windows. The only folder allowed to be deleted is oxyna.

- The PSO2 Tweaker is a replacement for the normal PSO2 launcher, used to update, patch, and launch the Japanese and North American versions of the game. The Tweaker adds several options to the game, such as the option to automatically download and install the unofficial English patch and any updates to it, configure your game settings, update.
- The Tweaker also allows you to download fan translation patches (for the JP version), which the Tweaker adds into the game itself. It's these things that virus heuristics wrongfully assume that the Tweaker is a virus (every once in a blue moon). Launching the Tweaker & Installing the game.

Finalizing The Setup
Registering the game with the Windows Store
Once it finishes patching, download these two files: File #1 and File #2 Put them in the same folder where you installed the PSO2 Tweaker. Double click the CMD file to start the script. Wait until it says 'Fixes complete!', then press any key.
This powershell script will check to make sure you have everything you need to run PSO2 (Required libraries, DirectX9, VCLibs, the correct files, etc), delete any leftover Windows Store files (Get that space back!), make sure everything is ready, then link the game to the Windows Store so that it knows that you have it installed.
This means that the Windows Store can see your game, but not modify it (No more file nuking!).
Launching the Tweaker
You may now play the game as is by clicking on 'Start PSO2'. o/ However, there are more features that the PSO2 Tweaker that you can enable and install. If you wish to configure your graphics settings, keep reading!
Also, if you'd like to use my friend referral code, that'd be awesome! It allows you (and me) to earn unique rewards for leveling up! My player ID is 10003082 and will work on any ship, since I have a character on all of them. Thank you!
