Hi all, long time player, I've recently got an oldies x86 PC using XP and am installing all my favs on it.

When I run it I get the error online.exe is not a valid Win32 application, I can still launch the game via PsoBB.exe, however it says its missing bcrypt.dll and only says "Server full" when I try to connect.

For starters I have disabled windows firewall before installing and during launch, I've reinstalled twice using a fresh installer from the website, and I've installed the VS 2015 - 2019 redistributable (the last one compatible with XP) and .NET 4.0, but the issue persists.

If I go download bcrypt.dll and place it in the folder then run psobb.exe it gives the error bcrypt is not a valid windows image, still launches the game window but still says server is full.

Any advice is valued as I've read that ephinea is supposed to be XP compatible, and I'm assuming it would be 32bit compatible as well.
Thank you!
 
Windows XP is NOT supported here.

You should do yourself a favor and not go online with a Windows XP machine in 2023.
