All that said, I wish you luck with resolving your issue, I'll leave the crashing side of things to the experts here

lol thanks. As long as I'm able to get SOMETHING to work, I'm good. It was looking pretty dismal for the last week though. I'm glad I managed to get Kanan up and running. xD

Direct Launcher has stopped working you can no longer login through it.

Me and another are currently experiencing an issue with MabiDirectLaunch, or rather the client itself when its launched, we enter our proper username/pw and get an "this account doesnt exist message" If we use the normal Launcher method it seems to work fine. I dont know if this is the right place for this, but its Blades creation so it was my first thought to post it here.

Edit: Dawbie beat me to it </3

Are you logging in with your account name, or email?  I believe today's maint made it so you have to log in with email, account names no longer work.

Even after doing that I was unable to login through direct launcher

Using my email as usual

You guys know the game was still under maintenance right?

EDIT: I just checked and apparently they completed prior to the rescheduled 7pm completion time. lol Also, the system has been changed where you won't be able to use a username to log in anymore. We're going to have to use verified email accounts now. All explained here:

i beg to differ..

[destindfate2]

i beg to differ..

LOL! I literally just checked about 10 minutes ago and I was directed to an update page where they said they extended maintenance to 7pm EST. Then when I went to get the link for the email login explanation, I went directly to the mabi home page. xD

As someone who has always used an email address on my nexon account, directlaunch does indeed seem to be broken atm and quite a few people are noticing it. Hoping its just a case of server ip change or something though. We'll have to see

[bitbucket999]

Same thing here, trying to log in after using direct launch won't recognize my login and I'm using my email address, which worked fine yesterday.

I won't be surprised if it ends up being something on the back end that Nexon did specifically to screw over people bypassing their launcher. They've been really gung-ho lately about throwing people under the bus who try to get around their gatekeepers. Nexon really can't afford to be pushing people away when their player base is shrinking. 

I'm stuck on an old potato of a computer and direct launch was my last lifeline to the game. If it's gone too, I guess it's time for an extended vacation until I save up for a less antiquated system.

[Fl0rn]

Yeah, from the number of complaints, i'll believe direct launch to be broken.
Have people checked to see if Batch Launch still works?  I don't know that it'd make a difference, as i've not actually looked into direct launch, so they may basically be the same thing. 

[Lexeon]

Yep, mabidirectlaunch is failing for all my alts, using email.

Hey, i just noticed that they updated abyss, so i tried to download the newest update, but it won't let me, says Virus detected and can't download it, but i didn't think it'd have one so i went to virustotal and scanned it there, this is what i got.


If anyone can show me proof of the files that are being detected are not a threat, and tell me what exactly they do i'll use a different browser and try to re-download it, but i feel worried because it's never been a problem before.

Side note: i have read this part "Your Antivirus may detect Abyss, this is because it's packed to avoid detection by NGS. Add an exclusion to your Antivirus if this happens." but since it has never actually picked it up in the past and just suddenly picks it up it got me worried is all.

Not sure if it helps at all but I've been running this version all day and avast hasn't picked up on anything, nor has my computer blown up.

alright, that atleast helps, i'll go ahead and try it, but i still would like some info on exactly what the things being detected are doing now, would just put me at ease

Oh look, more people not capable of reading the first post.

[dahpromichael]

i tried reading everywhere in this abyss post, and i can't find where it tells exactly what the dll does, other than a bland thing such as "it allows the ngs to not detect abyss" but i want to know how it goes about doing that, if it does say this anywhere i'd like to be directed to it because i really can't find it, this is my first time trying to search for things on a forums so i'm not sure how to really go about it.

Edit: if you mean this:

Q. Why is my Antivirus saying ijl11.dll is a threat?
A. I have packed them to make it harder for NGS to detect it. Antivirus tend to assume that anything packed is malicious, and rightfully so.

than that's not what i'm asking lol, i don't want to know why it's being counted as antivirus anymore, i just want to know what the dll does to mabi, i want to know the back end of it when it runs.

[Blade3575]

Maybe some elaboration would explain it better? The Q&A you posted was what explains it though. It's packed, so it can't read what it actually does in order to verify that it does nothing malicious, so it assumes it is malicious.

Might be easier to think of it like a present. An antivirus would scan the wrapping, because that's all it can see. However, when it's loaded into memory, or "opened", then it becomes more clear what it does. This was only done as an easy way to avoid detection by NGS, and to try and stop more people from trying to easily steal the work of myself and others who have collaborated.

I really wanna apologize if I missed out on a post, but doing the exact thing I've always done (Copy pasting all of the Abyss.rar contains directly into the Mabinogi folder) doesn't seem to be working.

I start the game (usually via NX launcher since the update, else I can't run the game) and Abyss itself does not seem to be working at all. The files are in fine.  Again, sorry if I missed on a post.

Not questioning your intelligence here, merely bringing this suggestion up as a surprising amount of people keep making the same slip up. If you previously used DirectLaunch, is your nexon launcher pointing to the same folder you are putting your abyss files into, or did you let Nexon launcher download an entirely fresh installation. A surprising amount of my friends didn't realise nexon launcher did a full redownload, and were still dropping files into the older folder.

[Drakelegion]

Put the abyss files into the appdata folder inside of your Mabinogi folder. Nexon thinks they're being funny.

I honestly have no idea. as far as I know, I only have one Mabinogi folder where I've always previously dropped abyss in, happened to still work ever since this Abyss update (20th of April).
Unless there was directory change very recently?  I always launched Mabinogi via the nexon Launcher(ever since there was no way around anymore.) , I only use MabiDirectLaucher if I want to multiclient.

I don't have an actual "Appdata" folder in my Mabinogi folder as far as I can see.
Unless you mean I have to drop the abyss files in  C:/>Users>Name>AppData>roaming>NexonLauncher ?
