You can get into Pioneer 2, but you crash every time you enter Forest 1? That doesn't make much sense, since your ISO appears to be valid. The only thing I can suggest is to try an older GPU driver. Maybe the latest one has a bug that's causing this, since it happens in 3.0, 4.0, and 5.0 Dolphin builds. You should also probably post pictures of all of your Dolphin configuration windows.

That is correct. I can get into Pioneer 2, but not Forest 1. I agree that it doesn't make any sense, you can imagine my frustration. When I get a chance I will try an older GPU driver.

I will also post pictures of my Dolphin configuration when I have a chance. The configuration should be default, except for controller settings.

Another thought: is it possible that I'm missing some kind of DirectX or C++ library, or some other update? Windows Update says everything is up to date, but is there any thing else that comes to mind like that that I might check for?

Thank you for the advice Aleron Ives.

If that had been the case, you would've been getting problems when starting Dolphin or starting the game, not when reaching a certain point in the game.

Sorry for not replying sooner.

I tried the last GeForce driver, from June 5th (most current is June 26). That did not change anything. I downloaded earlier drivers, but for some reason my system does not recognize them as valid drivers, and doesn't give me the option to install them. Not sure how to force the system to install them. All the drivers are from the same page: https://www.geforce.com/drivers (using my system information to specify which drivers).

I also tried the 'cached interpreter' option, and unchecked the 'enable dual core (speedup)' box, neither of which worked. I will experiment with different combinations of these settings more letter and report back if anything works. I'm guessing these settings probably aren't related to my mystery problem, but I figure it can't hurt to experiment.

I've attached a screenshot of my general configuration settings and my graphics configuration settings. Please let me know if anyone would like me to create other screenshots.

Hi I was wondering how to find the episode 3 dlc quests. I know this is an old post but any help would be appreciated!

I think I messed up somewhere. I had a PSO save state that had my character at around Lv 40 but the save file on the memory card is only at Lv 33. However when I try to save the Lv 40 file it says it can't find the original save file and won't let me save?

(Admittedly I overwrote the save state mistakenly so went into Windows to restore the old version so maybe that hecked it up...) Is there anyway I can get the files re-synced so that I can save my most up-to-date progress to the memory card?

Not really, no.

That sucks. I might have to do it the hard way then XD

Or if there is a really convoluted workaround that might do it, I'm all ears. I like a challenge. Even if it might be easier just to reload the Lv 33 save file and redo my progress. (Since I just realised that even if I finish the Dark Falz fight and go through to the epilogue it might not save even then...)

You would need to reverse engineer the game and see if you can patch out the saving check. I wouldn't recommend it.

Hello! I've been experiencing issues playing PSO Quests offline. Often, when I finish up a quest and telepipe back to the hub world, I cannot speak with NPCs. This has happened multiple times on multiples quests (Additive Foods and Secret Delivery to name a few) and even once while just out and about when exploring the Caves. I am using patches via the ISO (pretty much everything available at psopalace) and a HP Bar code to display monster health, but I've been told that this shouldn't affect quests. Does anyone have any tips for what may be causing this?
