can anyone confirm if this is working with r204?

[vnp3]

Same for me, just crashes on start-up every time.

To elaborate on this, upon pasting the 6 files included in Abyss.rar into the main Mabinogi directory (and overwriting the default ijl15.dll), I run the HSLaunch.exe, open Mabinogi.exe, and press "Start Game'. Upon which, Client.exe momentarily appears in Task Manager -> Details, but the HShield logo doesn't appear in the bottom right corner, and Client.exe is gone from Task Manager. Have I missed any steps in properly accommodating Abyss into the clean Mabinogi?

There is a separate thread with a R203 to R204 data folder patch, which I've already included, and I've also changed Debug=0 within Abyss.ini.

EDIT: I am running Windows 8.1. Also, running the game via the modified client launcher included in this thread does make the HShield logo appear in the bottom right corner, but Client.exe still disappears from Task Manager within a few seconds.

Same here.
Only differences are: It won't launch with any of the 3 (direct, mabilauncher, default). Instant crashing. As well as I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate, not Windows 8.

try deleting your entire data folder if you crash when logging in from character selection

[Lady Playtime]

Or you could do the smart thing and only delete the files that are causing the actual issue...

[blookvoodow]

Deleting the entire data folder will let you know for sure if outdated data folder mods are causing the issue. Then you can narrow down to the specific files that are causing the issue.

and then you lose your entire compilation of mods. just go into the data folder and rename them one by one and narrow down the problem child and kill it!

[blookvoodow]

By delete I mean move it out of the mabi folder, don't actually delete them from your hard drive =.=

Can confirm that client isn't locking up on Windows 8 anymore when closing mailbox. Will check if it's happening with dungeon cutscenes still (shouldn't, but figure I should check).

Or you know... You could just quickly move the files that cause the issue by knowing exactly what they are.

It's really not hard to figure out if the problem is the skill/race xmls, the anievents, or etc, that are causing the problems.


Even easier to figure out if the problem is Abyss or not.



The problem files are literally the same ones every time, anyways...

Closing down cutscenes was related to it. So it should be fixed

I've confirmed that it's only abyss causing my issues. Running mabi with only a data folder and no abyss works fine. But.. the moment I toss in abyss I can't even launch the game. Just abyss by itself with no data folder doesn't work either.

Not that I'm complaining. Just hoping I might be able to help in some way with finding the cause / common ground.

Just to chime in, I'm having the same problem. I can launch the game with data folder, but even with a clean installation of Abyss, I can't even start the game.

[trashy]

Ive tried about everything i know which i mean isnt alot but!

i keep getting BEX error <--- has no clue what that even means.

Yup, it doesn't seem to be happening anymore. Thanks, Step!

Now, I can duplicate the framerate issue with scooters in Tara/Tail, though. It's not consistent, though. One time I summoned my scooter, my framerate dropped immensely. Another time, it didn't. It also seems to be caused by others' scooters. Doesn't occur with just data folder mods. Will need to investigate further.

Besides just moving things back and forth in the data folder you could also rename the files though you would need data folder reading in Abyss active or data pack it manually everytime. I just crash from data folder then rename my db folder stuff and pretty much alright now. No crashing.

It's no different than commenting out an entire block of code at a time when you're trying to find a bug. And there is no guarantee the problem files are the same ones, for everyone.

Sometimes, you want to watch the world to burn down.

Was never a task I had to accomplish. Works fine for me anyway.

[Zemedelphos]

I can confirm.

Removed my abyss files, updated, re-added abyss, and I've been running fine.

When I have data folder issues, I just put an underscore in front of the folder name, one folder at a time in the data folder, and then un rename them all and go into the problem folder and repeat the process till i'm down to only the problem files.

Removing all versions of Abyss, running clean Mabinogi till login screen, and then re-installing the updated Frontend + Abyss R203.2 has fixed all issues for me.

Any idea why my zoom hooks are undoing themselves as soon as I load a new map? I'm getting tired of having to fix it. Also happens whenever I change load distance.

Still not fixed yet, it only functions if you keep reloading.
