Planetside Hates Me

So if you haven't heard, I've been having issues playing PS2 over the last few days. After the March 19 patch I believe, I would crash a few seconds after I spawn. I've been trying whatever I could think of: validate my game files both through launcher and through steam, re-installed through both launcher and steam, and even tried checking if it was my windows by doing a startup repair... Alas, I had no luck. I'm probably going to have to do a clean install of windows, but for that, I have to get a large enough usb/disk or an external hard drive. So basically, I won't be on very much over the next however long it takes for me to fix this... I'll probably still play other games, but I won't be on ts quite as much, or at least not in the Planetside channels. Hopefully I can get this sorted out at some point soon, hopefully by the end of the month, but most likely later than that because of RL stuff. Anyway, I guess this is sort of like my hiatus thread. Meh.
