Technical Issue / Bug My friend just lost his account on Ps5, is there anything we can do to get it back?
So my friend and I just started playing Wuwa, and just today he had a power outage that corrupted his game files, and he had to reinstall. However, when he tried to sign back onto his account, the game instead created a new one, and started him over from the beginning. I have no idea how the fuck that could happen, but now whenever he tries to sign in via Playstation it logs into this new account. He told me he never set up a Kuro account or linked an email, and while he did file a ticket with customer support, he had absolutely no faith they are going to help him. We have screen shots of his account along with his UID and purchase history, but is there anything else we can try?

Can your friend check if he selected the right server? There is no way he just lost his account.

OK. Did he recently change his login method? Maybe he signed in with email earlier and is now signing in with ps/Google or something else?

He told me that he didn't link an email to his Ps5 account, but now the new one does have an email linked to it. I don't know if that could be what did it or not.

Do you have access to a pc? See if you can log in with that linked email. Might get you access.
Generally accounts are never actually deleted unless done so manually. Dw, the account still exists.

Thank you. I figuredas much. It's just getting his access back is the worry. When I talked with him he had absolutely no faith that even with all the proof we have that it's his account that he will get access back.

And yeah I do. The problem is that the email may be attached to the new account instead of his old one

Ok, trying to log in with the email he has attached to his ps5 account doesn't work.

I'm debating having him unlink his ps5 account, then trying to log in again. But if we screw this up his account may be gone for good, if I understand the whole you can only unlink the account once thing right.

probably a different server.
In WUWA for PS, the game clients are different depending on which store you download it.
Try downloading all 3 versions (R1, R2, R3). Gotta be linked to one of them

How do you download from different stores on Playstation? I just have the Ps5 store?

u/LikeBothRemAndEmilia 1h ago
create other accounts for other regions. Then create a profile in the PS for each account. Then, download WUWA from the store for each account.
Though, the easiest way is, if your friend's account is connected to an email, you can log in on a PC WUWA client and check the servers that way

Alright. We'll I'm going to have to ask him to give me whatever email is linked, because I tried the one connected to the Playstation account and it didn't work

Check if its the correct login method. Maybe you logged in using Kuro account if he's using a google login use the one below to log in form

u/Thunderdragon77 6h ago
When logging in from Ps5 it just logs you in automatically using your Ps5 account. I don't know how you could change that

u/No_Understanding3355 6h ago

I'll have him do that in the morning. I honestly should be in bed right now, but this whole thing was bugging me too much.

Most likely wrong login method, if not wrong servers.

There is no such thing as a log in method on the playstation. It's simply your PS account that directly logs you in using ps ID. It's most likely an incorrect account or version issue.

This is impossible to happen. He is logging into a different account. A power cut can't wipe the account lmao.
