I'm willing to provide a temp fix until their ftp server is freed up. This works (Jah can support me on this).
Use it if you like. This should fix the client.exe infinite loop ftp thing you guys may have. This uses a patcher bypass pretty much to get around the stuck patcher window due to their ftp being locked up.
Warning:
-
BACKUP the original files, because a good number of files will be replaced. Just in case it doesn't work, you can roll back to the original data.
-The patcher bypass uses a shortcut that skips over the whole Mabinogi patcher window, which is handy, but it'll only work if your game is patched to the right version, else you'll just get a 'Server cannot be reached' error.
Steps:
-Download Mabinogi_R74_Fix.zip (
http://www.mediafire.com/?15bukdac241af1v) contains all the data that was updated as of Patch74, download it, backup the original files, and replace all the files in your main mabi folder (should be C:/Nexon/Mabinogi). Most of them go into the main nexon folder. Don't override your version folder just move the version file to your version folder. Yes, you will be replacing your client.exe.
-Time to make the bypass. I provided a shortcut.txt that contains a line of code. Go to your main mabinogi folder (should be C:/Nexon/Mabinogi) and create a shortcut of client.exe.
-Open the properties of the shortcut, and under the Target: field, copy and paste the line of code in the shortcut.txt into that area. You may need to edit this line of code if your mabinogi game is not installed in C:/Nexon/Mabinogi, just change it to point to your client.exe, wherever it is.
-Now you can start mabinogi using this bypass, it'll boot up the game and you should be able to login. If you get a Server Cannot Be Found error, then you didn't override all the files correctly. If you get some other crazy error, use your backup files and just replace the ones I gave you.
(This works for XP and Windows7, Vista users I can't confirm sorry)
(Edit: Crap I named the zip folder mabinogi_R64_fix, it's suppose to be R74 I typoed T-T)
