PSO2 Tweaker.exe (3.77 MB) Uninstall.exe (117.00 KB) This info is about PSO2 Tweaker version 4.0.3.3 only. This project is a derivative work of the original open-sourced PSO2 plugin authored by VariantXYZ; however, it is no longer maintained and is currently incompatible with PSO2 and PSO2 Tweaker. PSO2 Tweaker independently maintains a working fork of the plugin using the same CSV file format, but it is unfortunately closed-source. If you are using PSO2 Tweaker, then all you have to do is to put the PSO2DamageDump.dll plugin, which can be found in OverParse/Resources into your pso2bin/plugins directory. During setup, you will be asked if you use PSO2 Tweaker.
If you're using an antivirus/firewall, you will need to set exceptions for the game itself.PSO2 utilizes an anti-cheat software known as GameGuard, which utilizes rootkit behavior toscan your running processes and files. You cannot disable or limit GameGuard's access in anyway or form, as PSO2 will close if it detects this.
Registering the game with the Windows Store
Once it finishes patching, download these two files: File #1 and File #2 Put them in the same folder where you installed the PSO2 Tweaker. Double click the CMD file to start the script. Wait until it says 'Fixes complete!', then press any key.
It may prompt you about changing a policy - Just hit Y to continue.
If you receive a 'permission denied' error in the red text, make sure you're logged in as an administrator.

What does this powershell script do?
This powershell script will check to make sure you have everything you need to run PSO2 (Required libraries, DirectX9, VCLibs, the correct files, etc), delete any leftover Windows Store files (Get that space back!), make sure everything is ready, then link the game to the Windows Store so that it knows that you have it installed.
This means that the Windows Store can see your game, but not modify it (No more file nuking!).
