[September 3, 2023]Abyss Patcher

[Tanoak]

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 ?

Abyss should be dropped into the following default directory:

C:\Nexon\Library\mabinogi\appdata

Nexon decided to stuff all their games into a Library folder to keep it "organized"

[dahpromichael]

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.

thank you lol, that's alot better. it just felt so bland to me and i wasn't seeing the full reason.

[skylaar727]

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.

If its previously been working on April 20th abyss then its not directory, hasn't changed since then. Repair Installation will replace the file if you've done that recently, but a standard autoupdate for a game patch doesn't do that. Dunno what to tell you then tbh.

It's unlikely to be this latest version's sudden issues with antivirus, as when ij11.dll is removed the launcher doesnt automatically replace it, rather just tells you it cant be found.

It hasn't been working on April 20th (since Abyss update) it has been working *before* the latest NGS via the same directory.  (February 17 if I can recall, which was the abyss update before April?)
Right, I forgot to say did a repair recently to remove abyss because of the NGS. Mabinogi worked again, and I decided to put abyss in my files again. Since then it didn't work. Maybe it's because of Repair Intallation then?

[SpyxedDemon]

So I replaced all of the files in my directory with a new backed-up set of files which were freshly downloaded a while ago (so nothing, nada adjusted from those files)
I also put appdata folder inside.

I dropped abyss files in appdata folder, abyss no work.
then I dropped abyss files in the regular folder (where I have always have put my abyss) Abyss no work.

I'm really lost on what to do now...


EDIT: I fixed it.
Right, so here's the story: Yesterday I checked it's direct directory where I've *always* put the Abyss files inside which always had it working, assuming that is the directory I use (considering it puts me there when I click the files directory button) today when I do the same thing again, it directs me to a whole different directory () I put abyss there (and yes, the files are in an appdata folder here) but at first it did not work.

I replaced all of these files with the new batch of files (the untouched ones, freshly downloaded), put abyss in it again: it worked!
the odd thing is that it suddenly TODAY directs me to another directory while it's always been my old folder..... Maybe the repair tool made an additional folder in another directory? Weird.

This is the part where you go fix your registry files so that crap actually works.
I forget the path for the reg though, sadly.

Not sure the specific path you'd want, but there are several that reference mabinogi.  At worst, search the registry and replace them.  I suggest backing up the registry before messing with it at all.  You may regret it otherwise.

[Porkey]

I'm getting the same issue as Rorin and destindfate2 a few pages back. Did we find a solution for that?

I've checked my registry, and made sure the data paths point to where I actually have mabi installed (C:\Nexon\Mabinogi\appdata).
Just tried a version of kanan that I downloaded on January 25th, and it wasn't accepting my username/PW, although this may (?) be due to Nexon screwing direct launchers and login usernames recently.
The game launches fine with my data folder, but without Abyss.
As soon as I put Abyss in, the game crashes with exception 0xc0000005.

For what it's worth. I just attempted to install abyss into my mabi folder again after today's update. I've been running this last week with a clean client. Prior to loading abyss, mabi runs just fine. Dropped abyss in the folder and I'm getting app crash error again, just like the previous two weeks. I still can't even get the game to load once abyss is placed in the folder. I'm running straight abyss, using MabiDirectLaunch, and nothing else. I still feel like it has something to do with ijl11.dll, but I'm definitely no expert on the matter.

Thanks for all the work you guys have been putting into this every week for all these years!

EDIT: Here's the error I'm receiving, for convenience. NOTE, my client is updated, however when I load abyss it acts like it isn't:

EDIT 2: I've just run Blade's File Integrity Checker and attached the results.

UPDATE: After multiple attempts to get abyss to run on its own to no avail, I decided to try installing it using Frontend. Ended up with the same result. Use Frontend with abyss installed - appcrash error. Remove abyss using Frontend - game runs just fine. After all this, I opted to just install Kanan. Incidentally, I attempted to use Playtime's Kanan standalone and couldn't get that to run either. Ended up having to get Kanan from the github link.

and it wasn't accepting my username/PW, although this may (?) be due to Nexon screwing direct launchers and login usernames recently.

I won't share details as to how we've fixed this, but we have a solution soon hit the public. 

[Kiwidream]

Not sure what i've done wrong if anything, but NGS is detecting a threat after extracting the files directly to my Mabi folder and replacing the one file with a duplicate name. Anybody have any ideas or help they can give me? My friend plays just fine with it, but I don't... I don't understand it.

[Porkey]

You must be new to using Abyss. Ever since Nexon patched in their troglodytic NGS system, this is how it has been. Blade packs Abyss, making it harder to detect (also alarming lesser antivirus software), but every few weeks, Nexon updates NGS to recognize the latest version of Abyss, and it starts getting detected.
The only thing that we can do is wait to see if Blade wants to update Abyss again for all of us, if he gets the time for it.

Chances are, your friend isn't using Abyss anymore either. If they are, tell them to relog and they'll soon be pulled "out of the Abyss" until Blade reminds Nexon of their place.

[destindfate2]

"...pulled "out of the Abyss" until Blade reminds Nexon of their place."

LOL! 😂 I'll drink to that!

On a more helpful level, NGS seems to be picking and choosing who it effects, some of us are kicked to the login in screen after a few minutes, if that's the case all you have to do is reenter your password on the login screen you get kicked too, and press login, then enter your secondary password.

Edit: Also for future reference there is a whole thread dedicated to NGS and its kickings, please use that to its full extent.

Still getting application error c0000005.

[mabinogiplayers]

Abbys not working with this last update or some of the mod arent, just to let know

[Lost]

Abyss is straight up broken, I cant really determine the full extent, mostly because I don't know how to log what patches are running and what aren't. For sure the CP scouter is not working though.

Edit: The game runs fine with Abyss and all, its just that some mods work, like the Text one and others do not like the CP scouter.

Edit2: oh, i figured out how to check which patches are running and which aren't..I'll leave the patchlog below..

After new abyss update it just closes the process automatically after I click play. I changed my IPv4 and IPv6 DNS to google's and still same results. I'm on windows 10 pro x64. If I use the previous abyss version it will load. Not using a data folder just abyss.

Make sure your net is stable and the Abyss isn't being blocked by an antivirus or anything.

Edit: Got it working. Thanks.

[Porkey]

Wow, it's not even giving a delay before crashing the client now.
Google has been my DNS the whole time; I tried changing back to my ISP's DNS to find there was still no difference.
I've tried disabling extra threads.
I've tried with and without my data folder stuff.
I've specifically added my whole Mabinogi directory to the exceptions list in my antivirus.
I've tried with my antivirus disabled.
I did a quick hackjob of "clearing" my game cache by trying to start the game with the Cache folder renamed.
I'm not believing that anyone else has had Abyss running since February.

Now was there anything I was forgetting?

Abyss is all I use aside from a couple data folder mods and CE, so I can assure you Abyss is working for most of those who use it.

Well I fixed my problem by doing a few things (if you're getting the same DNS to google error thingy). I was using DD-WRT on my router and that was half of the issue. I reverted back to my TP-Link official firmware and I still was having issues. What I did next was disable the IPV6 on the router and then reset it. After that setting to any DNS (Google, OpenDNS, etc.) the game would run with abyss. Not sure if you have any of that but that is how I got mine to work.

[Equipping]

Hmmm just a simple question, when I try to multiclient it opens up the new mabi window and I try to log in, but it gives me the message that my pass or user is wrong. Is there something I am suppose to do besides patch mabinogi or w/e?

EDIT: lel nvm I read around. Still strange I see some people still multiclient though rip.
