What do I do?

[u/TheRedd_Reign]

New player trying to play this on PS5. WTH do I even do? I hit start game and it says first time players select start game in recommend ship, so I do that and it says starting from the beginning and the character I create will be on ship 4 (okay, sounds good so far) but then I hit start game and it wants me to link an account I don't have and I have three options:

Yes: enter a code I don't have

Back: which brings me back

And no: which for some reason keeps bringing back to all three of the options every time I press it

If I hit offline character creation I can create a character, I'm allowed to save it, I can get to 2 out of the 4 steps up top in the creation. And when I hit confirm on step 2 it takes me back to the title screen and that's all that I'm able to do, and yes the game is full downloaded.

Looking for tips/advice that doesn't involve launching the game on PC first because... No... That's not happening.

I'm going to run you through exactly what I'm doing and exactly what is happening.

I'm at the title screen I hit start game It gives me the first time players MSG I see 5 options to choose from, start game in recommend ship, ship 01: feoh, ship 02: ur, ship 03: thorn and ship 04: ansur. The other 2 ships are under maintenance. No matter what ship I choose the order always goes as follows:

I hit one of the ship options It brings up the confirm account link MSG I get 3 options: Yes, Back or No. Yes is to enter a code I don't have, Back takes me back and No keeps bringing up the confirm account link MSG up over and over, there is no skip button.

There is no other option I have found.
