Everything seems to work perfectly fine for me now. Thanks Blade.

RE: Crashing with revival balloons,

I tested with other balloons, and it seems that the crashing is not limited to the lantern revival balloons. Picking up Starlet or Ferghus balloons also causes a crash.

Maybe it's related to the feature that was added to indicate equipments' repair locations.?

removed abyss and it still happen but like 30 min up to 2 hour now instead lol, only got tiara with data packer xD guess nexon really screwed it up this update lol

Abyss works with the latest update, as does Tiara. Make sure you unblock Abyss and Tiara in their respective file properties panels before you extract or install to Mabinogi. I had the same issue until I redownloaded Abyss and unblocked it.

^This, is a legit issue.  I'll pass this on, but I'm pretty sure that he's likely aware of this already.

^This is not--rather, this isn't a mod at all, it was added by Nexon when they did the update to the client and files.

With all due respect...  Please make sure that you're aware of what exactly it is that you're using, you save yourself a lot of trouble.  It wouldn't hurt anyone to crack open that ini, or readme every now and then and use conscious awareness when installing.  Then again, if people are up for a challenge...  by all means.

^This, is what we like to see on the forums.  People communicating what they've actually tried and performed as far as troubleshooting steps, etc. then sharing this knowledge with others.  We'd love to see more of this out of everyone.  Seriously, thank you!

On another note, since less is more... You really want to help Blade out?  Provide him with what he needs to be able to fix things more quickly other than.  "It doesn't work".  Details are the bread and butter.

INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH.
This recent update actually fixed the crashing problem with my boyfriend's laptop, but now I'm the one with the crashing problem, in my own inventory or from shops.
I'm working on disabling inventory related things, such as True Dura, Colour, Price etc.
I am aware that Colour and Price only appear of True Dura is on anyway, but I shut them all off for the time being.
Edit: Literally just logged in after turning off these, and it solved the problem. I also turned off ItemHotkey just to be safe but I feel it's probably unrelated.

Code: [Select]

;Shows purchase and sell price of items.
; Patch found in JinsuNogi.
ShowItemPrice=0

;Show item durability with 1000x precision.
; The formatting string works by replacing values as follows:
; {0} => Current dura        i.e. 14
; {1} => Current dura x1000       13560
; {2} => Maximum dura             15
; {3} => Maximum dura x1000       15000
; For example: "{1}/{3} ({0}/{2})" => "13560/15000 (14/15)"
; Patch found in Fantasia.
; Updated to work by Step29 and Blade3575.
ShowTrueDurability=0
ShowTrueDurability_str="Durability {1}/{3} ({0}/{2})"

;Show item color codes.
; Must have ShowTrueDurability enabled to work.
; Patch by found in Fantasia.
; Updated to work by Step29 and Blade3575.
ShowItemColor=0
Also, having Extra Threads enabled crashes him before the Secondary Password appears, so I shut that off and he's fine!

Something I noticed with the latest update...

The CP reader seems to function a bit differently. I know it doesn't show the decimals, as that's been brought up and I'm fine with that, however it also doesn't show the "level" anymore (Weak, Weakest, etc.). Instead it just says "CP". Was this by intent?

[Reddawn46]

Fresh client, newest update from abyss, turned off extra threads and cant get past the "start" button, nothing failed in the log, turned every 1 to a 0 on the .ini and same results. Still looking for suggestions...

[kudfs]

setting "ExtraThreads=0" is what got me past the crash.

[Blade3575]

I need to look into ExtraThreads, yet again. Sorry about that everyone.

Yes. It should still work with enemies though, so there shouldn't be any real issue with it other than preference I hope.

[Blade3575]

Update Log:
October 21, 2017: Abyss has been updated on October 21, 2017 at 8:44PM ET. Finally fixed ExtraThreads for those it worked with previously. Again, I am sorry about the trouble.

Three people, excluding myself, tested and it worked for them. I hope this will work as intended for everyone now, possibly even those it didn't before.

[Chacha]

Ah, so it does! I had been a bit busy this week, so hadn't done any combat. I suppose that makes sense for it to only appear on enemies. Very cool.


So, I can confirm what theanomaly has said: looks like ShowTrueDurability and ShowItemColor are causing client crashes again. Though, I'm finding it behaves a bit differently depending if Mabi is launched via Steam or via Nexon Launcher.

With ShowTrueDurability, right-clicking Accessories (rings, pendants, etc.) on Steam-Mabinogi, but this doesn't affect NLauncher-Mabinogi. Any sort of Revival Balloon crashes both Steam and NLauncher version.

ShowItemColor seems to cause a crash by hovering over any type of Phoenix Feather. Possibly other types of items that have a fixed color, too?

[Blade3575]

Is there any specific balloon or is it any of them?

[theanomaly]

It seems to be any at least for me.

[Chacha]

Same here. I've had it happen from multiple balloons (Pan, Ferghus, etc.).

[Blade3575]

I don't remember what I did about that before, if I even did anything.. as you can see it works for me so it's hard for me to narrow it down at all.

[theanomaly]

I just got the new .dll and .dat, and I'm starting up rn. I do have a collection of balloons I can check.

As far as I knew though, any balloon crashed my bf before.

Edit: Alright, so hovering over various balloons to test. It seemed to be the ones that had a red durability listed, the rest of them didn't effect me at all.

[thesun]

I don't remember what I did about that before, if I even did anything.. as you can see it works for me so it's hard for me to narrow it down at all.

I've been able to get a consistent crash using the Lorna's Stadium Horn given as a beginner. I've taken it off and put it in my main inventory, and any subsequent attempt at mouse-over on the horn crashes the game. The first time I encountered this I had a different item grabbed on the cursor while putting the cursor over the horn.

Hope this helps at getting a repro.

Sorry bout that, when I mentioned "the feature that was added", I meant the feature that Nexon has added. I'm no coder, but I do try to keep a reasonable understanding of what I'm using, and I've made a few contributions in the past.

Just don't want to come across as an ignorant leech.

Shadow crystals also caused the previously discussed crashing on hover/pickup. As suggested by someone else, I disabled the Show True Durability Patch. Afterwards, I would still crash attempting to hover or pick up revival balloons.
After disabling Show Item Color and Show NPC Value, the problem of crashing with balloons and also shadow crystals no longer occurs, perhaps this suggests those two abyss features are at fault.

Additionally, when the effect of Special High Speed Gathering Potion (Event) expires, the client crashes, but I have not tested whether this still occurs with the above two modifications disabled.

I've noticed that after the latest patch, the dialogue after the Macha battle in Iria Saga 10 causes any ingame prompt or window to stop registering input. For example, open the Quest Window, but the cursor does not change to a finger when you hover it on something clickable. It become impossible to click on any buttons on the interface, though using skills and targetting enemies and NPCs on screen is still possible. But the client must be force closed through Task Manager, since it is impossible to type /end and the dialogue for End Game requires you to click an "OK" button. This seems to be easily reproducible. I haven't noticed this occurring with any other NPC dialogue, only the two conversations after the Macha battle.

Unfortunately I'm leaving town and won't have time to investigate the dialogue issue any further.

[theanomaly]

So silly me didn't realize that all balloons infact have (0/0) Durability listed in red...
They still result in a crash.

So, I can confirm what theanomaly has said: looks like ShowTrueDurability and ShowItemColor are causing client crashes again.

Also, I don't recall specifically if I read this here or was told that TrueDura and ItemColor are linked together.
ItemColor will not work unless you have Dura enabled as well. After I was experiencing crashing, I turned off Dura, and still crashed, so I disabled Color as well because I remembered they're related.

I've never heard of the Phoenix Feather issue though! D:

I admit it was more of a general statement though it was addressed to you.  There are many who use mods but don't even know what it does.  Good example think of how user friendly Shaggy made Tiara with tooltips and descriptions.  Blade has done the same with the ini... and yet... no one that's having issues cracks these open.  Disheartening isn't it?  Anyways, thanks for the reply.

[kirbysama]

I added a lot more information to my previous post before realizing that more posts have been made, please see what I have added. Hopefully it is helpful.

Honestly, I love the tooltips and comments. I've learned a lot from just reading the commented-out lines in things from AI to patchers by various contributers here. It's a real shame that more people don't put in the small bit of effort to read them. Please keep it up, at least a few people are thankful for this documentation.

cutscene skips in Abyss... could you turn those off if you have them on please before you test next?  I don't use that feature myself because I already use data folder versions.  So that'd be double redundancies.  The other stuff balloon wise and items I'll have to see what I have to work with myself, but the dilemma is I keep things so clean and pristine that I've a hard time producing issues on either Nexonlauncher or Steam. =/

I wouldn't say it's disheartening, not everyone is going to see these features be it the custom abyss.ini proff's fontend creates without comments, people needing to actually open the abyss.ini, or a small tooltip only on hover of uotiara installer, and some people are just more oblivious so of course we only hear about it from the people that aren't using said features or don't know they are/should be there.
had i put mod descriptions in a better location like on the side of the gui like how Hyddwn Launcher's uotiara plugin will be displaying them it might have prevented more people from asking where a specific mod file is or what it does, plus i haven't fully completed them or made the descriptions dumb proof either.

[SpyxedDemon]

I'm gonna try give Abyss another go at this new update.

[destindfate2]

So, for those of you experiencing crashing when you're trying to log in, I was experiencing this also with the 10/20 abyss update. Just to double check, I went into DEP to make sure my exceptions were there, and much to my surprise, they got removed somehow, so I put them back in and the game is running fine now.

I just installed the 10/21 update to abyss, however, and noticed abyss options aren't coming up in the dropdown menu up in the upper lefthand corner when you click the celtic knot/mabinogi icon in windowed mode. lol I reinstalled the 10/21 update a couple times thinking abyss wasn't actually working, but on the third try, I went ahead and just logged in. Sure enough, abyss IS working, but that drop down menu isn't there. Note, checking for that dropdown when I log in is typically how I check to make sure abyss is present and accounted for.
