I used to play PSO V2 regularly until my game broke, and while considering returning to the game I am considering downgrading to V1 to save money and because it’s more common on eBay than the upgraded version I still have.

I think my V2 disc is too broken to work because when I played it often, the game would crash and freeze and disconnect often and the gimmick is the extra content I used to play although everyone seems to play V2 more because of it.

I don’t know if V1 is worse than V2 and I have to save my money by not splurging on another copy of V2 nor if playing V1 will work completely fine.

Thoughts?

    Is the disc badly scratched or otherwise physically damaged? Usually, if your disc is the problem, you’ll be able to tell by looking at it.

    If the disc is in good condition, then the problem might lie with your console. Hopefully it’s just a dirty lens, but given how long that console was released, the motor in your optical drive could be wearing out. Do you have similar problems in any other games?

        Well, you’d know better than I would, of course!

        If it is the disc, I’d take it to my local game store and have them run it through their disc buffing machine. I guess I just want to encourage you to not blame the disc too hastily. Honestly, without visible scratches or damage, it’s very rarely the disc. Like…almost never.
