[Wine] Re: [Phantasy Star Online: Blue Burst] gurus & advice needed

[dk]

Hi all,

I received a couple of emails from people mentioning that they couldn't create characters on Schthack's server and they had to end up forcibly terminating the client. I answered them but wanted to post my response here to help others that might be confused..


> Congratulations - you've found bug #27293. Without that typing issue fixed you won't be able to create a new character or exit out of the character creation process. :(

You can log in to Schthack's server with the same account information you already have. Create your character then exit the game. All account and character data is stored remotely on the server so it _will_ be available when you run the client again under Wine.

Thanks! Please post any problems/issues/thoughts.
