Team Flibble

If you have never experienced FSOD then you may be wandering what this is all about. FSOD or Frozen Screen Of Death is most often suffered online, it is caused by someone breaking into the game code or sometimes evan just a glitch in the game (though I don't recall any glitches that cause this.)

What does FSOD look like?

As you may of gathered the main effect of FSOD is that your screen is frozen so nothing changes from the time you got FSOD, to the time you turn off your system power (most the time). There is also alow pitched buzzing noise most players of PSO have come to know and hate, which starts the second you get FSOD.

Most of us have been there at some stage. Your playing a game of PSO with some friends, when some idiot decides to join your game and thinks it's funny to crash the game.

Or maybe you or someone else in game was trying to dupe or use a coding device to "enhance the playing experiance" and you screwed up the game.

Whatever actually happened the results are usualy the same. The screen freezes, the buzzing starts and all your items just evaperated out of existance

But there is hope! Just follow these instructions...

1. Disconnect your system(DC, PC, GC or XB) from the internet by removing the ethernet cable or phoneline from your system and then reconnect the cable
2. Turn the system Off then On again (using the main power switch and not the reset button or a soft reset Button. (On PC just exit the program and shut down normally). This is to ensure the system RAM is refreshed and has no bad code running.
3. Start a new game either Offline (preferred) or Online in either episode. If you need to go online I recommend Passwording the game and starting in a different Ship / Block to the one you were in before.
4. Check What Items You have lost. If this process has worked correctly then the loss should be minimal and you can breath a sigh of relief.
5. If you have lost anything important please continue to read this page, or spend hours trying to get them again.

So now you know what Items you are missing there are 3 main things you can choose to do:

1. You could sit around in the Lobbies letting every passing gamer know how you spent weeks hunting the items you lost;
2. You could spend further hours, days or weeks looking for a replacement;
3. Or you can search out someone to replace what you lost.

Well because I know what it's like and because one of my friends happens to be have played this game almost since it's release on dreamcast (and hence knows many of the tricks associated with it), I am happy to say you don't have to bother to look any further.
