Are you getting the Crackshield auto shut down where you have to keep rebooting it every time you get the error pop-up or are you fine? o.o

Nope, it's been smooth sailing.

[shanachan]

Hmm, I tried doing HSUpdate and I am not sure if it is working or not. So far it seems good.

[Fl0rn]

Played for a half hour so far today.  Hshield has not had any issues for me yet.

[shanachan]

Yeah. Confirmed myself. For those who are having auto shutdowns for Crackshield, just do HSUpdate and you will be fine. After I did it, I haven't had any issues at all.

The link is dead.

[Blade3575]

The link is dead.

What link? I just checked mine and it worked.

[abc33kr]

the link is down for me as well, but isup.me says the link is up.

anyone have a mirror for the link?

[Blade3575]

There is a mirror link, which is why I asked which link was down..

[chaoticoracle225]

The mirror 1 is up, your main link you posted is not loading for multiple people.

That happened before with my .co.cc extension, but that was because ISP's were starting to block it for people because apparently they had a lot of copyrighted material on it. If I got enough downloads or donations I would buy a website (~$30/year for unlimited everything from the place I was looking), but I don't get donations and hardly get downloads, so that won't be happening. I also can't connect to Shaggy's FTP to update it there so I'll have to wait for him to get back to me about that.

[Plonecakes]

Those cheap places aren't really unlimited anyway. It would be better to just buy a domain for $10/year at most and host the files on mediafire or something.

EDIT: I meant the cheap places. I didn't mean to say free. ;;

[Blade3575]

I was saying for ~$30/year I could buy a host with unlimited everything. My free host is limited and I have to worry about down time and things like this.

Abyss just keeps making mabinogi crash.  I can't run Mabinogi with Abyss, I have no idea how to fix this darn issue.  I tried so many things....

Tried
Extrathreads=0
bitmap=0
Updating visual
cleaning mabinogi documents folder/cache
reinstalling Mabinogi and deleting the mabinogi folder.
reinstalling Mods
Installing mabinogi, running it, then installing Abyss
Just using Abyss without any mods
Using default mabinogi settings
Turning off Windows defender, then Windows firewall, then I started just shutting down random processes that I thought could possibly interfere, BUT NOPE.

Crackshield or not, it still crashes before I get anywhere.  Doesn't start up at all.
Windows 8.1 64x UAC disabled, firewall disabled, Windows defender disabled.

Can anyone help me at all?

Is there anyway to add another option to the bugle to system message mod to make it so that it still displays like it would without it but also says it in the system messages?

Hi, I'm having a prolem where I can't run Mabi normally.
I use a direct launch of Client.exe and if I spam it, eventually a session of Mabi will open up (i have to spam it a looooooot). It opens up a crapton of Client.exe's tho, so I don't rly want this to be a permanent solution.

When I play Mabi though, I can login the mods work fine BUT in the background a Runtime Error popups (something something Microsoft Visual C++):



This pops up after I launch it and possibly one more time during play.
Also, it doesn't pop up for every one of the launches I do in my Mabi launch spam, only some of them have that error, others just don't have an error and just quietly close Client.exe on their own.
Pressing 'OK' will close/crash/terminate/obliterate Mabi so I just ignore it and leave it there.

Is there a solution to this here problem of mein?
I can TeamViewer, Skype, whatever. This problem is real annoy.

Thank youuuu

@Animayz
are you certain it's abyss related?  If you launch without abyss, is this still an issue?  If not, you should have posted this in tech support.  If you're not certain, the first thing you should do whenever you have problems is remove all mods and try the game again.

Following that last bit of advice, you can also make sure your computer is up to date and that your antivirus isn't blocking it.  I've had issues if my computer misses an update, with the error messages.  Once i update, it don't seem to happen again until the next missed update.  And if others feel it necessary then they can, but i won't detail on how to do any of the three mentioned steps here.

[Animayz]

yup 95% sure it's abyss.
I can run vanilla with no problemos.
I can run tiara with no problemos.
Pretty sure my computer is pretty up-to-date. Updated my Visual C++, .NET etc etc.
I closed my antivirus to make sure it wasn't messin' anything up - no dice.

But, Abyss comes with Tiara..?

Also, unless you use a data packer, nothing in Tiara works without Abyss' data folder forcing.

[Animayz]

Oh yea, I meant that as I can run Tiara without Abyss. I just uncheck Abyss from the Tiara installer and use Data packer.

Dunno if it'll help anyone else having issues with starting mabi with abyss, but I was having errors even when ExtraThreads=0. When I set Debug=0 I stopped having errors, even when ExtraThreads=1 so that's what fixed it for me.

[rscache]

anyone else getting stuck on initializing pleione engine?

+1 this really works
Thank you!

However, when talking to NPCs I still crash (Even with just Tiara).  Any known fixes?

EDIT: It's just Tiara Font that causes NPC crash. All other fonts work just fine.

[adamadkins]

That was the fix all of us needed. Debug = 0 and extra threads = 0. The debug is what did it for me after a year of failure. Thank Cichol it's working.

Hello~ I'd like to apologize in advance if I become a bit of a pain and I understand if you guys don't have patience for me.. But I'm not very good at this stuff and despite trying to follow directions to the best of my ability, I'm still experiencing problems.

I installed the most recent Frontend, enabled the mods I wanted, chose Abyss as the Patch Interface Selection, installed Abyss through Frontend, and tried to launch.. And I get an error from CrackShield  saying "Error during Initialization. [Code: 1, 0x00000001]" and then if I try to launch the game, I get a white screen and nothing happens.

First post said to make sure my data folder is up to date but I don't know how to check that. (Been looking around but keep getting confused due to mix up between new/old posts)


So I DL'ed the Abyss from first post and put it in manually. Same result.

I'm running Windows 7, btw.

I haven't got the faintest clue what the issue is, but I'm more than open to learning so that I can deal with these problems in the future, so if anyone would be kind enough to point me in the right direction or help me fix this issue, I would appreciate it very very much. Thank you so much for your time~




EDIT: I managed to get it to work, but CrackShield stops working whenever I try to login. Seems there's no current fix for this, so I guess I'll have to wait :/
