So your having the same problem? or no?

Mabinogi works for me it's just Abyss does nothing. It's a normal client except you have to enable crackshield in order to play.
I've installed .net framework and microsoft c++ and still no avail. I wonder what if I should try out Windows 32 bit... It works on my laptop and that's also a 64 bit.

[extraextra]

hmm multi clienting requires a edited launcher, can someone post a link/thread to one. I really can't find one that works

direct launch. no launcher necessary.

[Rygdea]

Hrm, I unpack it into my Mabi folder, run HSLaunch.exe and seems to be working fine, then I run Mabi and I get absolutely no changes at all.

Windows 7 64 Bit here and I do not get a Single Error message, I also run frontend but I even tried a clean install and still nothing.

Am I just missing something obvious?

Edit: I don't even get one of those patchlogs.

[Plonecakes]

Are you missing the dsound.dll?

[Rygdea]

Are you missing the dsound.dll?

No it's there, dsound.dll, dinpu8t.dll, dsound.ini.

Left the ini default currently.

Edit: I will say though in case it may be causing a issue that when I install Mabinogi it always deletes my Symbolic Link for the account currently installing the game that I create in my C:\User folder, which after recreated I have to go in Regedit and delete the "Files" entry for Mabinogi so it recreates one on Launchup else it always crashes. If perhaps it causes issues.

Edit: My game is also installed on another drive away from the default location.

Edit: Ok not sure if I'm even correct in saying this but looks like dsound.dll is not being loaded along with the game. For example with the game loaded I can delete dsound.dll and my PC does not complain about it currently being in use but dinput8.dll is infact being used.

Excuse all the edits just trying to help someone troubleshoot this problem for me, honestly I'm stumped.

Edit: Renaming dsound.dll to dinput8.dll at least loads it this time because I actually get a Abyss_patchlog.txt but the game fails to load. (No error message spat out.)

The patchlog just told me all the things failed to load.

I think I isolated the problem to dsound.dll not loading but I have no idea where to go from here to fix the issue.

[Plonecakes]

Are you running Mabi from a shortcut that sets that as the current directory? I'm not sure if that's necessary...

As for the install issue, that's just something Mabi does to everyone with a symbolic link, I am unsure as to why.

If all else fails, you can inject the DLL manually with a DLL injector. I have no idea why it wouldn't load itself.

I have no idea what i'm talking about since i didn't make these, but since something happened when you renamed dsound.dll to dinput8.dll, try renaming dsound.ini to dinput8.ini as well, then putting in another copy of the dsound dll and ini, then adding dsound.dll to the loaddll line of both .ini files.

Edit: ninja'd with a better(and sane) idea.

I can't get the dual client to work. I've tried running the client directly w/o going through the launcher, but it's not working. I have yet to see if any of the other features work. I know cp works for sure, and it makes my font tiny tiny. Other than that, bleh. Please help? lol

I'm not sure as to what you mean by a shortcut set as the current directory, but I just launch Mabinogi.exe from the install location.

Havent tested running the Client.exe directly as I don't know the parameters needed.

As for a DLL Injector, could you recommend me any?

could a firewall be preventing something somewhere?

Is there a chance this will EVER work with windows 8? Now that I'm stuck with it I see why people are preferring windows 7.

I don't know, is there a chance 67% of this community will learn patience?

I believe the problem with windows 8 is that windows 8 forces driver signing for all possible drivers.  and HSLaunch.exe is a user mode driver without a driver signature thus it can't execute.  Correct me if i'm wrong.  I think it would require using a slightly different bypassing method to make it work.  At the very least a method to make it so HSLaunch.exe isn't a driver at all.

[giggity]

So yea not sure what fixed my problem however i did
-Install all Windows Updates
-Installed Autoit
-Removed McAfee
-Removed Norton
-Installed AVG
and now its working fine

Haha funny I did not do window update but follow other steps and it works, hooray!

Yeah I'm pretty sure you're right.

Let me guess, you just tried to run Client.exe, without any parameters, yes?

[roflala]

thank you blade and plonecakes and everyone else who contributed  =3

With the 138 update, the client crashes upon reaching the char select screen, even with all options set to 0.

There's also updated files in the new pack, so, Tiara will require a new update, for whoever wants to post an updated mod status info thing.

What IS this about beads, and boards..? >___>

[OwnerMagix]

Same results for myself.
I'm worried that these beads will turn out to be something horribly stupid.

[partyboy2234]

Same, everything is fine until you get past the secondary password, right as the character screen pops up, not even getting a glance at the characters, "Sorry for the Inconvenience" pops up.

I confirm these as well; error upon character select.

Maybe those are beads that you put up your...

Oh wait wasn't it mardi gras? \o/

I'm getting the same thing as well.
