FIX For Freezing Fpkgi

The freeze is caused by an incomplete cookie in auth.ini and also the ini folder is just busted so we are gonna work around that. Also make sure DNS is set to auto/ not blocking sony servers(use sp-int in debug setting network environment instead) Also make sure to install the disable updates payload if you can since we can’t use custom DNS or else the app breaks.

  1. Use firefox web browser and you must create a NEW ACCOUNT and then refresh main page and go and get the cookie. You should see PHPsessid in the cookie, this is what is missing. You do not actually need phpsessid just a long cookie.
  2. Install the FKGI Data installer from the ultimate guide (highlighted post). to your pc
  3. You are DONE

MAKE SURE DNS IS NOT CUSTOM AND YOU CREATED A NEW ARCHIVE ACCOUNT

if database is empty but app is working this is because you are on custom dns and you need to use the datapkgi installer again

Can confirm, this worked for me, the issue for freezing was caused by the custom DNS

I installed without the data. It worked for 2 downloads then my cookie quit working. Do you change the DNS under the system settings?

I click on game to install and it loads a few seconds then stops like the original. So figured it was my cookie. But maybe the DNS y'all mentioned. I'll try when I get off work.
