If you have some difficulties running the game, try the following:

1. Make sure the Visual C++ 2015 Redistributables are installed on your system.
We've included
them in a subfolder called "redist" after installation. Install both of them.

2. Be sure you have the latest .NET Framework installed for your operating system.
You can
download it directly from Microsoft at:
[Link]

3. Run the game as an Administrator with Windows XP Compatibility Mode enabled. To


do this,
right click your Ephinea PSOBB Desktop and Start Menu shortcuts, select
"Properties", and then
click on the "Compatibility" tab.

In this window, check the "Run this program in compatibility mode for" check box
and select
"Windows XP (Service Pack 2)". Also check the box that says "Run this program as
an administrator".
Finally, click "OK".

To see an example of what these options should look like, view the "[Link]"
file that is
installed with Ephinea.

Setting these options should also fix the problem of not being able to customize
your resolution
in the Options menu.

Also, when setting a resolution for Ephinea PSOBB, make sure to set a resolution
that fits within
your monitor's maximum resolution and one that is defined in your video card's
control panel.
If the set resolution exceeds what your monitor is capable or if the resolution
selected is not
present in your video card's control panel, Ephinea PSOBB will fail to start.

We also recommend changing the high DPI settings of the application, under
"Compatibility", and
overriding the behavior to have scaling performed by the application. This will
prevent
graphics from looking too pixelated and aspect ratios of things looking off.

4. Add an exception for the entire Ephinea PSOBB folder into your Antivirus
program.

5. Turn on Data Execution Prevention for essential Windows programs only or add an
exception
for Ephinea.

6. If you can't type, turn off the IME option in the launcher. IME is only
required if you're
going to type with East Asian characters and have IME installed on your operating
system.

7. If you are running the game with a different Windows user account than the one
you installed
the game with, install the included registry file "[Link]" on the Windows user
account.

If you're using Windows 10, after logging in under full screen mode, and you are
frozen with the
lobby music playing, go into the Option menu and uncheck "Advanced Effect" under
the "Advanced"
section of "Graphics". Save your new settings and try again.

If you continue to have difficulties, read the FAQ at


[Link] or
post on the forums at [Link]

There is an optional font to install in the "font" folder. You can install this on
your
Windows system and change the font inside of the Ephinea Options program to "Dotum"
to have the
text in-game appear with the PSO Gamecube font.

Please enjoy playing PSO on Ephinea!

Common questions

Running Ephinea PSOBB in Windows XP Compatibility Mode is advisable to address compatibility issues with modern operating systems, ensuring better game stability and functionality. Additionally, the program should be set to run as an Administrator, which provides necessary privileges for executing certain processes. It is also important to properly adjust high DPI settings to prevent pixelation and maintain the correct aspect ratio .

Proper DPI scaling ensures that graphics in Ephinea PSOBB do not appear pixelated and maintains consistent aspect ratios. By setting the scaling behavior to be performed by the application, the resolution and image quality are optimized for the game's specific graphical demands, enhancing the visual experience .

If typing in Ephinea PSOBB does not work, it is recommended to disable the IME option in the game launcher. This step is necessary unless you're intending to type with East Asian characters and have IME installed on your system .

Adding an antivirus exception for Ephinea PSOBB ensures that the game's files are not mistakenly quarantined or blocked, which could prevent the game from running. Adjusting Data Execution Prevention to include only essential Windows programs, or specifically allowing Ephinea, prevents DEP from interfering with the game's execution. These adjustments balance maintaining system security while allowing the game to operate without hindrance .

To adjust the font settings to reflect the PSO Gamecube font in Ephinea PSOBB, install the optional font from the "font" folder on your Windows system. Then, in the Ephinea Options program, change the font to "Dotum" .

Consulting the Ephinea FAQ or forums is recommended when common troubleshooting steps do not resolve issues. These resources can provide solutions for complex problems, updates on known issues, and advice from other users, covering a wide spectrum of potential technical, configuration, and gameplay challenges .

Selecting an unsupported resolution causes Ephinea PSOBB to fail to start, as it needs to match both the monitor's maximum resolution and the resolutions available in the video card's control panel. To avoid this, ensure that the game's resolution settings are within the capabilities of both the monitor and video card .

The "install.reg" file is used to add necessary registry entries for Ephinea PSOBB when running the game with a Windows user account different from the one used during installation. This ensures the game has the required configuration data to operate correctly under that account .

To troubleshoot issues with Ephinea PSOBB not starting, ensure that the Visual C++ 2015 Redistributables are installed, and have the latest .NET Framework for your operating system . Run the game as an Administrator with Windows XP Compatibility Mode enabled by adjusting the properties of the game shortcut. Set a resolution that fits within your monitor's and video card's capabilities . Add an exception for the Ephinea PSOBB folder in your Antivirus, and manage Data Execution Prevention settings accordingly. Disable the IME option if typing issues persist . If freezes occur in full screen mode on Windows 10, adjust graphics options by turning off "Advanced Effect" .

Disabling the "Advanced Effect" option on Windows 10 may improve gameplay by reducing graphical demands that could otherwise cause freezing, especially when entering full screen mode. This adjustment stabilizes the experience by preventing lags linked to demanding visual effects .
