About the unlimited party time mod, I was curious about the (BANNABLE) thing beside it. Can somebody explain to me how you would get banned for it?

Pretty much just if a GM notices your party has been up for 8 hours over night. Or something excessive like that.

The problem is, it has never happened to me so I haven't been able to debug the process to find out where it's crashing. More debug messages wouldn't really help all that much. I could add some saying when it's entering and exiting certain portions of the program but it wouldn't do much good if I can't debug it to begin with. Sorry.

Has the issue of mabi absolutely not launching fixed? I'm using the latest version, and after launching abyss and launching from launch client exe, nothing happens.

[Rydian]

Try adding client.exe to the windows DEP exception list?

I have, and it's still doesn't work sadly

[blankerer]

OP needs to be put the disabling Windows Defender/Security Essentials and running Mabi may fix the problem of it crashing (or maybe I just see that cause I have crash reports and stuff enabled?)

can enable it again and it doesn't seem to be crashing it again yet.

and that post was back on 114

Just wondering if there is gonna be an update to this for v189 since it's not posted

[shanachan]

I am crashing every time I turn on the client. I don't know what is causing this...

Was fine till today's update o_o;

What patch says it failed?

[bladefury]

What patch says it failed?

Everything says it succeeded but alot of people are getting crashed right when the Engine loads to full where you should be able to click start Mabinogi but instead it just closes itself

[shanachan]

Yeah, just tried.

Clean client, it works.

After I patch tiara and set abyss, I crash.

[asians1000]

If you have patched tiara/abyss, just go to abyss.ini and change the ";Forces the Client read from the data folder before the pack files.
DataFolder=1 to 0" and mabi should work again

I'm having the same crashing error as well. I had to play around a bit due to Exploding Kunai causing my game to crash. So I deleted propdb.xml as I was instructed and that's when everything started.

Upon launching the game, either from the bypass shortcut or the launcher, the Client.exe process reaches 27,000 K before just vanishing from the list.
I managed to have one successful run with Abyss by itself, but I can't replicate the result.

Clean client: functions fine
Tiara (DataPacker run): functions fine
Abyss (solo): Process auto-terminates
Abyss + Tiara: Process auto-terminates

Disabling the data folder read within Abyss.ini yielded no results, both with and without Tiara (I manually installed mods to test as well). Using Datapacker in place of this option does not change this result.
I also tried re-downloading language.pack on several occasions, as this caused a similar issue in the past. On the attempts that it did redownload (and the Mabi launcher didn't go Not Responding within seconds) it didn't cause any change.

Upon removing ijl15.dll and renaming ijl15.dat, it functions normally. My latest Abyss_patchlog.txt reads the following:

It's more than just abyss+exploding kunai to crash you.  I'm saying this having the most recent version and actually using the skill.  I think it's my data folder and not abyss, but the targeting circle for the kunai is just a solid white square, instead of a circle.  But anyways, it still works and a mob can trigger it without crashing me.

That said, my game is crashing more frequently than normal.  I have my data folder mods up to date.  I have just turned abyss off and i'm using something else for data folder mods.  So, don't know if it's abyss for certain yet.  Normally i would side towards abyss, just due to the number of people claiming it is abyss, but with all the people saying you can't use kunai cuz of abyss, i don't think that's a premature assumption at this point.

It's more than just abyss+exploding kunai to crash you.

I'm not even blaming the crash from that on Abyss. It was an outdated file on my end (I would assume). As soon as the kunai hit the ground, the game just closed without warning.

As it is though, I've redownloaded both Abyss and Tiara and put them back into clean clients a few dozen times at this point. Tiara with Datapacker will run perfectly fine (I haven't tested Exploding Kunai with this), but for whatever reason for myself and others it seems, something isn't working properly. I've got plenty of friends running Abyss perfectly fine. I was slightly relieved to see I wasn't the only one having this problem. Spent about 3 hours trying to fix it myself before I came here to see if Blade had any insight on it.


EDIT: Decided to try launching with Abyss alone again. Used the updated files, but last version's abyss.ini file and the process doesn't auto-terminate. It also doesn't do anything but sit there consuming CPU either.

Lol.. a friend of mine that was on mabi said his client works and he's running tiara.. but idk if he was telling the truth.. and this was literally like.. an hour ago when he told me lol.

My reaction to just about every post made today:

[Rydian]

I swear to god we need to have a sticky that says something like "TIARA IS NOT MAGIC THAT AUTOMATICALLY UPDATES, THERE IS A HUMAN THAT UPDATES IT AND HE CANNOT ALWAYS UPDATE IT THE MOMENT THAT AN UPDATE COMES OUT, AND OUTDATED XMLS CAN AND WILL CAUSE CRASHING, THIS IS NORMAL, JUST RENAME YOUR DATA FOLDER TO SOMETHING ELSE TO PLAY WITHOUT TIARA UNTIL IT'S UPDATED IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT BECAUSE THAT IS THE PROBLEM 95% OF THE TIME WHEN YOU CRASH AFTER AN UPDATE, NOT THE PATCHER"

I'm not entirely sure what brought this on, and I also cannot guarantee it was targeted at anything I said, but:
Tiara is not my issue. I've gotten that aspect working a dozen times since the maintenance yesterday. Something is causing Abyss itself not to function for me, without the involvement of Tiara at all. Instinct is to say that it needs updated, but since I know a bunch of people who can still manage to run it without issue, I don't think that's the case. And of course I know that if it is the case, that it will take time for it to be updated. I don't expect that to be a magic fix.
In the meantime, I'll keep chipping away at the issue and see if I can find a solution that works for me.

EDIT: Some perseverance and a lot of playing around with options I messed with yesterday (running HSUpdate and HSUpdate.vbs, disabling extra threads and data folder read even though I don't have one), plus some auto-terminated processes later and I managed to get the game to run with only Abyss once more. I've gotten it to launch a couple times now both with the Mabinogi launcher and with the shortcut that bypasses the client. Whatever issue was causing Abyss not to function properly has gone to sleep for now at least.

Blade, thank you for Abyss and taking the time to keep it updated. I imagine you don't hear that nearly as much as you should.

It's in reaction to all the posts in the various threads this section was filled with in the past 24 hours or so.

Abyss does need an update (Game crashes when initializing pleione engine) (don't know where to get the log)

Abyss does not need an update.

Here is my mabi folder:


Here is me in game:


So no, abyss does not need an update.

[aznboi61]

Is there a way to have the new stuff translated? Or do we have to wait until Abyss is updated? Sorry for asking a dumb question.
