That crash is from returning to lobby when the game was processing the lobby_billboard.prc file located in the data folder. We don't use this file so you could just rename it to anything else to workaround the issue. I've been meaning to disable that code and also investigate if it's a bug in...

By default, PSOBB recognizes only the first controller returned by Direct Input, and the device must be connected before the game starts. In the launcher's options, you can enable the AUTO DETECT ACTIVE GAMEPAD option to check all available devices that the game recognizes. So just make sure...

Anything in the game's log/dllerror.log file? Is the game crashing when you fire a photon weapon? Is it crashing when you're loading into the area (before you actually see Forest 1 for example)? If it's crashing when you're firing a photon weapon offscreen, it's likely a DEP crash. Check the...

It sounds like the first issue you should resolve is why the launcher cannot update ephinea.dll. Maybe you installed the game somewhere that needs Admin privileges? If so, first try deleting or renaming ephinea.dll. Then try running online.exe as admin and make sure the game is closed when you...

What have you tried changing? Are you using a completely base install? No custom textures for example. Any other crash info? This is an actual crash, whereas the original post talked about an issue where the game isn't crashing but is having issues rendering.

(Thread is a bit late this year, sorry) Easter Event 2025 Mar 23rd - April 20th The Easter Event on Ephinea has begun! During the Event, you will be able to find Event Eggs dropping from all enemies which can be used in the event shop. The Easter lobby theme is active for the duration of the...

Sorry for the long wait. Server maintenance has completed. We've updated ephinea.dll to improve some of the code protection, as well as a couple small bug fixes for the Present and Saraswati mags rendering under specific conditions. The Easter event is still active and The Egg Shop has...

All of the donation money goes to pay for the server. All excess money (based on the monthly + yearly costs) is put towards future payments. We're never going to pay anyone for working on this server. The work isn't necessarily difficult for us (for most things, some dev tasks are actually...

So the only issues I can think of (specific to PSOBB)... 1. You have more than 4 gamepad type devices that DInput8 is seeing, so PSOBB isn't actually checking your device. If you have other controllers/bluetooth stuff connected that's not your mouse or keyboard, might be worth unplugging them...

Did you try the USE XINPUT option with and without steam input?

Didn't see this reply. This is also a DEP crash (assuming the fault module path is psobb.exe). There are two options for DEP's settings. The one where you specify the exception should work, but it's probably a good idea to test with the other option just to verify that it is indeed a DEP crash.

Try enabling the AUTO DETECT ACTIVE GAMEPAD option in the launcher's options. It's on the third page or so. The game is old and uses whatever is seen as the first controller from DInput. That option allows using any of the four that the game sees and switches to one that's active based on...

Events are usually planned at the last minute. Why? Because we're people doing this in our free time. There are only two developers for Ephinea at the moment: Sodaboy and myself. Not everyone on staff is a developer. As an anticheat measure, every event shop and quest exchange has server...

Are you playing on Direct3D 11 or 12? If so, try lowering or disabling the anti-aliasing the launcher options. If you're using HSAA or SSAA, this is sometimes caused by that mix of settings.

That's a DEP crash. The first thing in the technical section should address it. You will probably also crash if you fire a photon bullet weapon off screen. Spread Needle fires a different projectile that is rendered differently and doesn't have this problem.
