[September 3, 2023]Abyss Patcher

[blankerer]

If you want to use the features of Abyss then yes you need crackshield on.
Reduced CPU Usage win.

Otherwise you can just data pack the normal stuff and run it normally.

dang, there wasn't an update but my mabi instantly crashes when I try to run it....... time to suffer lame lag for a while.

Bypassing the patcher should stop HShield/NexonGuard from running right? I'm just not sure if crackshield is still necessary even after that so I presented my query here.

I have no qualms with using crackshield when I'm actively playing, but I was just going to leave my character to fish and play other games while waiting for friends to go online. The problem is that I can't play some games due to crackshield being detected.

I'm just going to rephrase my query.
If I bypass the patcher so HShield and NexonGuard don't activate, is it safe to not run crackshield?

Thanks in advance everyone. <3~

bypassing the patcher/launcher with a direct client.exe launch still launches nexonguard and hackshield, to use abyss crackshield is required.

I appreciate the reply, but I just checked again after reading your reply.
After bypassing the patcher, NGAuth.bin which I assume is NexonGuard didn't run at all.
Both HShield and NexonGuard splash images didn't show up either so the client just loaded right away.

I already noticed this when I tried, but wasn't sure if it was safe. This is why I came here to ask my query. Thanks again~

even when using crackshield nexonguard is launched, you just don't see the splash screen http://puu.sh/7gpew.png
notice NGCore.bin and NGGate.bin so again when using abyss, crackshield (hslaunch.exe) is required.

Check your task bar, crackshield stays running until you kill it so if you've already run it once it's still running and stopping hackshield from working properly.

Oh I see...
Guess no multi gaming with modded mabi on then

You can still use data folder mods just fine, you'll just need to pack and unpack/repack them instead of abyss doing it on the fly.

I'm having an issue with my Abyss. I was having a bit of lag issues earlier with my client so I checked for an update with Abyss, downloaded the latest version. After that my client wouldn't launch, so I reinstalled mabinogi entirely and abyss as well as restarted my computer. My client finally decided to launch but now another issue came up that every time I launch the red hackshield, it closes a while later, about 20 seconds. Because of this my client loses connection with hackshield, causing it to freeze with the window informing that connection to hackshield has been lost at random times. This has caused problems in the middle of fights seeing as I have to relaunch hackshield. Is there a fix for this?

Change your AV's settings to not kill your crap without even telling you what it's doing?

Problem: Client doesn't start, or shows up briefly.
Solution: Make sure you aren't using pake, then PM me your in-game name and server.

It was working fine a few days ago, however when I run hackshield and then the mabi client and hit (game start) nothing happens afterwards. No windows pop up. If this is related to what I typed above plz help me. Thanks

You could be getting a Hackshield error, and you're just not getting the popup window with the callstack, make sure you have your Hackshield updated, its in the Nexon\Mabinogi folder.

Look around see if you can find how to update it, I have written a guide, so there is a start.

I tried to update hack shield before i posted here. I will try to update it again to confirm it and then I will reply again. Thanks

I tried updating it with the current hack shield I have . When I click (Game Start) nothing pops up afterwards.

What happens if you try to run the client with HSlaunch not running?

Also screenshot your mabi folder.

when I launch without the hack shield on when I click (game start) the exact same thing happens. Nothing pops up after XDDD

here is two screen shots showing my mabinogi folder

Take all the msvc crap out of the folder and actually download and install the thing from the first post (don't just find DLLs and put them in folders manually).

Quick status report... Abyss' version of the chat filter mod only mods chat on your end?
Or is that a gameplay/cleint change they did to make the filter filter incoming chat too?

Pretty sure Nexon changed it at some point so everyone has an outgoing and incoming filter. So both parties need to have either the Tiara or Abyss mod to see what would be said. Unless you're saying the edit in Abyss only mods it so the person using it can see it, regardless if the other person mods or not.

[ShaggyZE]

people without mods typically use the & symbol also so filtered words will display correctly.

[blackinfernos1]

It worked! I recall only downloading one msvp due to a error that told me I was missing a msv file that prompt me to download the c++ file. When this incident happened. I started to delete and re download which probably ended up accidentally downloading multiple content. Thanks anyways.

Last I checked, the incoming filter is only applied to in-channel chat systems: All, Party, Whisper...

If I need to say, the chat systems that aren't in-channel are the Guild chat and the Friends List messaging.

When trying to run the game with Abyss it crashes with the following error as soon as I click "Game Start"
I've updated the HSLauch.vbs and installed the linked Microsoft files. If I remove Abyss and just use tiara, it does not crash. I've searched for IMM32.dll to try to find the solution myself, but have not been successful in my endeavors. I even reinstalled the game to a fresh install and still get the same error.
Any help or advice would be appreciated.

I pretty much get the same thing and there wasn't any patch when it happened.
Was still using the older 180 stuff before replacing and no change.
Just went back to the original ijl and data pack... so sad.

Did any of you run crackshield? I didn't read if you guys have run it, if so, was it blocked by firewall?
That happens, it'll run, safe mode, which doesn't give it the power needed.

[imKrazy]

Hi, sorry if there's already a solution posted somewhere, but after installing mods and launching crackshield my client won't start. I didn't get any error messages either. Is there something I'm doing wrong? I have tried some of the solutions on the forum already.
