That's what I do normally, I run the launcher to let it patch, press 'game start' to let HS and NG do their first-run/updating, log in once to an account.

What I haven't tried is not updating the game, or updating the game while crackshield is running.

Edit: Does anyone know where I can get MabinogiSetup173R.exe, or any older version of the installer? Using Google got me nowhere. It would probably be helpful if someone was archiving these. The following link returns a response telling me the file is not found: http://download2.nexon.net/Game/Mabinogi/FullVersion/MabinogiSetup173R.exe

Edit #2: I have apparently fixed the problem on one of my PCs by downloading and installing Mabinogi Frontend and using the Download Clean DLLs option under Tools. Installing Frontend alone did not fix the problem because I was still getting the same problem launching the game, but the troubleshooting download of clean DLLs was just what I needed. Major thanks to The Proffessor for having the insight to make this troubleshooting tool. I will post more information on what DLL needed to be changed or added after I do more testing.

Okay, I have used Mabinogi Frontend to fix my problem of being unable to launch Mabinogi while Abyss Patcher is installed.

When I press the button to "Download Clean DLLs", I am given a checkmark list of DLLs which I can download. I tried to individually download and check the game with each item, but no individual download would fix the game. The game did not work until I pressed the "Select All" button and download all of them at once. The only difference I could see is that using the "Select All" button is the only way checkmark "ijl15.dll". I don't understand if "ijl15.dll" was really re-downloaded or if the "Select All" button triggers something extra from what I see on the list. As far as I know, Abyss patcher already comes with it's own "ijl15.dll" and "ijl15.dat", so redownloading it should not have fixed anything, yet here it is.

I wish I could provide further insights on what the problem was and how it was fixed, but using that tool with "Select All" is the only thing that worked for me on two separate computers both with fresh installs of Windows 7 and Mabinogi. Maybe someone else can figure what happened and have the fix included in the Abyss and/or Tiara packages.

For anyone that needs help getting Abyss Patcher to work, and all else has failed, I recommend using Mabinogi Frontend's "Download Clean DLL's" tool. I hope Blade3575 adds this troubleshooting step to the opening post. Thanks everyone, I'm out.

frontend and power patcher had the 'clean dll's' option for years, we do not add these to trouble shooting because it's something you made a mistake with and isn't a common issue that reinstalling wouldn't fix for most users (just not you).

[e265626]

Oh darn it. Cancel everything I said about the "Download Clean DLLs" option helping me out. It turns out that all I did was restore ijl15.dll back to what it was before installing anything, and that's the reason why the game seemed to work.

I thought Abyss patcher was working because I had the fortune of getting a pop up about CrackShield not running when I logged in. But that's just the effect I get when dinput8.dll is successfully working. Funny how code is successfully inserted with dinput8.dll, but when I try to use ijl15.dll, the client refuses to run.

[ShaggyZE]

try disabling some/all mods in abyss.ini to see if you can get abyss working, dinpu8 is crackshield which is what abyss needs (ilj15.dll) to get past hackshield with it's mods, so no it's not funny at all.

[e265626]

I've tried that. I disabled all mods (such that applying patches in abyss_log.txt should have an empty list), and I disabled ExtraThreads.

The patched client still doesn't work, I'm back at square one and all I've learned is that dinput8.dll works.

I still think I might be missing a DLL file or library. But since I've already installed all of the VC++ Redistributables (2005, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2013), then I don't know what is missing so that I can go install it. My current OS on my old hard drive must have it, but my new OS on my new hard drive does not have what I need. I don't know how I am at fault as all I've done is  install Windows 7, all it's updates, and Mabinogi. I'm not doing this just to be a tech support nightmare: I really don't know what prerequisite(s) I'm missing. Looking into the Unofficial Tiara thread, I'd tried downloading dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe and KB2600211, but it tells me I already have those installed,

Got a skype? Maybe you can PM me and see if I can fix it for you

I also have this problem.

I've read through all your posts and have the exact same problem as you. I just have this "Runtime Error!" popup open in the background currently. But outside of that, I'm constantly going back and forth between Mabinogi working and it not working. I also installed it both clean and with mods on another computer. It ran fine before restarting that PC and then after a restart, none of the installs work (clean or not).

I had Mabinogi running before, but I had to reinstall because all of a sudden my OS was completely freezing. I reformatted and since then have been having random problems like this crop up. But just earlier today I ran fine no problems for hours, and then I shutdown the PC, leave the cafe and come home and bam here we are and I have this runtime error.

I'm not sure what the hell's going on with this game but it's like work just to get it to be playable..

Does anyone know what causes HSUpdate.vbs to create the message "Error Caused when replacing files. (10503)"?

My Crackshield doesn't start up, which I believe is because HSUpdate.vbs doesn't run successfully.

I've run into this issue into the past, however I don't remember how I fixed it, nor can I find any information on how to fix this error.

Thanks to anyone who can help out.

Uhhh try running the file in safe mode with networking, might help.
If it still says that, you might need to play Mabi vanillia first with NG and everything, then try to install the mods.

I'll try running the updater in safe mode when I get on my computer.

However, I know that vanilla Mabi works with NG, but I always run into a problem with updating Crackshield.

Edit: Thanks, running the updater in Safe mode with networking seemed to work. I can now start Crackshield and play the game.

Now to figure out what's causing the error...

[howhurl]

I'm not sure if this issue's been brought up, but pleione engine won't load completely for me. It will get stuck and the client won't respond and just crash.

[Brandonnib]

Same, and another friend of mine is getting it, but everyone else seems to be fine. I can't really pinpoint the problem...

[KeenWit]

Yeah, I'm starting to get the same issue with Pleione myself... For me it seems to be something to do with mods, but I don't think it narrows down to Abyss -- It actually allowed the engine to load up after I rid my game of the other mods.

Doesn't seem to be limited to abyss, getting the same thing with tiara as well. i'll just wait for updates lol

[kuroshisuji]

Turn off CP viewer and Pleione Engine should fully load. I have no idea what's actually wrong with it but since CP viewer is always acting up, it stands to reason that that's what's making Pleione complain.

[KeenWit]

Well, thanks for helping me out with that problem.
Now I have to figure out what this stupid issue is involving loading up the world...
It seems to suffer a freeze and the game itself still plays sound, yet, I can't interact with anything. Trying to see which mod's doing this.

[mechageno]

So my friend installed abyss and for some reason has to run mabinogi multiple times, he had to do it 8 times for it to work. Then he has to terminate all the extra client.exe running in the background. Without abyss installed it runs normally. He doesn't have any anti-virus installed, he's running it all as admin. I got him to install a fresh install of mab, update hack shield, turn off extra threads. I don't know why he's having this issue what so ever...

[NovaDracon28]

Just a question about the second colors for the race is that for the background of the text for the names

[shanachan]

Is it just me or HShield keeps getting shut down by itself after today's patch...?

[Ririchiyo]

I'm getting the same issue.

Edit: All it took was a restart of my client, fixed~

[Chocobubba]

I think so, though I didn't have any luck changing the alpha. Play around with it and see what sticks.

[shanachan]

Nexon actually made a block or something...?

[Chocobubba]

I just updated to R192, Abyss is giving me no issues. Well, aside from the normal.

Dungeon fog
View NPC Equipment
Window Position
Reload INI
Ping (May be conflicting with Tiara's version)

But none of those are really a big deal, and two of those can be enabled in sharker. Other than that, it's smooth sailing.
