[September 3, 2023]Abyss Patcher

[lessthan3towon]

I was being stupid with my attempts yesterday. I'm so used to launching Mabi through the .exe. If I launch it through Nexon Launcher though Abyss does work fine, except the secondary password mod doesn't work. Any thoughts as to why? ; -;

hello hello

i think multiclient is broken (says launched successfully, but a window popped up saying mabi is already running)

[ihateyou3]

try again.

same here

Code: [Select]

;Enables you to open more than one Client.
; Patch by Plonecakes and Blade3575.
; Select the window individually, don't Alt + Tab.
; This will prevent hotkeys from not working.
; You must use an edited launcher or any other launcher that's not the official to
; launch more than one client.
EnableMultiClient=1
Does that have anything to do with it?

[nimei]

it worked after I ran the client clean and reinstalled abyss. but it won't work for my friend. Nothing shows up when he tries to launch the client as long as abyss is in his mabi folder although it says "initializing sucessful & IJL hook installation successful" in the patchlog, but it never applied any patches(the patchlog only shows the first 4 lines). Does any have any idea what's causing the problem?

As to why... launchers do NOT work well with Abyss.  This is why it's discouraged as they interfere with Abyss being able to run this part of itself. I'd say try again with:
 
MabiDirectLaunch (in Blade's Abyss thread at the end of the first post) to launch.
Make your own direct launch shortcut to launch.
Use MabiLauncherPlus by Logue to launch.
Use PowerPatcher by Xcelled194 to launch.

So you've quite a few options.  I'd say pick one or several and give it a go.
I'm going to ask that the mod move yours and my reply to the appropriate thread.  Please keep support under support or their respective threads, I wanted to reply now though so you could resolve your issue.

Check his dlls and exe time stamps (to ensure he has the latest versions) and to see if any files are missing for starters.

[ipmanv2]

Any other method to get this to work?

"Reduce the level of CPU usage, optionally only while minimized"

it doesn't seem to work for me

[Mashirosan]

try running cpu reduction 90% and uncheck only use when minimized and see if you seem to get fps lag or not.

U might be able to check if that functino works that way or not.

Thanks for the reply

Tried it at 90% with unchecked on the minimized only and cpu usage stays the same and no fps lag at all

Tried it also on other % and no changes was showing.



EDIT: reinstalled game and repatch and it worked. thanks

reinstalled and tried all kinds of launchers still the same.
it only shows that

 - Credits: kotarou3, spr33 and whoever made mod_kirisame.
 - Initialization successful.
 - IJL hook installation successful.
and the game not pop out.

Anti-Virus and Firewall are next to check...  For instance, the latest AVG doesn't like the latest Mabinogi.  You can add to exceptions (folder), and/or disable it temporarily (10mins) while Mabinogi loads.

You sure? just having Abyss.ini, Abyss_Patchlog.txt or dinput8.dll (idk which one it was) in my Mabinogi Folder seemed to trigger NGS booting me from the game due to a Security issue

Same issue. Works and logs in but after a few min ingame I get kicked

[Teto Hashiba]

i forgot to mention ijl.dll, had it in another folder when i removed them from the Mabinogi Folder XD

so yeah any of these files triggered it and i'm stuck at trying to even run Mabi again, something derped on my Computer when moving around Files so testing if it's any of them or just a specific will take a while

[Teto Hashiba]

I'm a few minutes in now on 2 Accounts

One is currently running on Abyss without dinput8.dll and some custom packages

Other one is currently running on Abyss without dinput8.dll and modified Packages.

Both seem to run so it may be that NGS started to detect dinput8.dll as a threat

Also isn't Crackshield simply making the client believe HackShield is running? doubt that would work as the Client doesn't even NEED HackShield running anymore. according to some posts it doesn't even require BlackCipher to actually run.

I'll report back again at XX:40, i think 16 more minutes without any booting should be ample time to conclude it probably was dinput8.dll (which isn't even requires for Abyss to work as it seems.)

[ShaggyZE]

true, i was just going by what it was named, so lets call it ngscrack because it really doesn't matter what it willed be called, but yea basically it will fool the client into thinking their security is running by hooking and emulating the process.

[joy0123]

I took out dinput and works fine now. I had the same problem before, but seems like taking out the dinput is the solution for now...
I've also took out the crackshield files just in case.

[Teto Hashiba]

XX:41 here now and didn't get booted.

The Solution to being kicked is to remove dinput8.dll it seems, a NGSCrack is (not yet) required.

[ShaggyZE]

i don't think i had dinput8 anyway since it was only needed with crackshield and that hasn't been needed for months, checking again. their could be many thing NGS is picking up or not at random times knowing how good nexon is at security.

[furby4537568]

Presently I'm updated and in-game without dinput8 as well.

I might speculate a bit with this, but I'm pretty sure the detection is triggering for the files that were once used to get around hackshield.

[joy0123]

If you have any other mods like package mods, you might want to consider taking that out as well.
