Finally online!!!

I did come close to FSOD several times in the way you describe, but it never got to an actual FSOD in those situations. I just log off before either automatically or by myself.<p>To check how FSOD or disconnection is lurking:<br>-drop a box on the floor, doesn't matter what type<br>-try to pick it up<p>If you can't pick it up (bear in mind that usually there's slight lag), it's lurking. Log off.

Also if whatever you type doesn't appear in a speech bubble. That's what happened to me. <br>I have a new problem now; whenever I log in it tells me that there's a problem with my serial number and access code. There isn't, though, because I've played several times and haven't changed any settings. The Broadband Adapter still works fine, as I can browse the Sega website using it.<p>After the first message telling me that there's something wrong with my numbers, every new time I try to play online it just says "Line disconnected" every single time as soon as the lobby appears. I've tried to re-register with those numbers in case the servers "forgot" my registration but they said that there was already an account with those numbers (i.e. my account.)<p>Arghh! What's going on? I can't play PSO online at the moment because of this, and I ordered the Broadband Adapter from Canada just for PSO! >:(

<blockquote>Also if whatever you type doesn't appear in a speech bubble.</blockquote><br>That's not a good way to notice FSOD. Sometimes there's lag on just the speech bubbles, the rest of the game runs fine.<br> <blockquote>I have a new problem now; whenever I log in it tells me that there's a problem with my serial number and access code.</blockquote><br>Call Sega.

I rang Sega Europe's helpline and it said "This service is currently under development". Hah! Nice to know they care. >,<<p>I've emailed them now - hopefully they've "developed" an email account and someone to operate it.

Their e-mail customer service is pretty good. They may not know everything, but they will always, and quickly reply to you.
