Nexonguard keeps downloading then crashing without error message.

• ironwoman wrote on 2014-08-11 00:25
  Making the thread about this, because people don't seem to look at Ferghus Repair Shop here.
  
  The NexonGuard will download bunch of stuff, and when finished, the game won't start, without any sort of error message.
  
  Client will stop working while NexonGuard is downloading, without any warning or error message.
  
  Anyone experience anything similar, or have a solution?
  
  Edit: Now after some downloading, it keeps showing me 0x00000102 error and that I have to get NGGate.bin file bullshit. That doesn't fix anything either.
  
  Edit 2: I just replaced the NexonGuard folder with a new NexonGuard folder from the Mabinogi site. Now NexonGuard doesn't even start.
  
  Edit 3: One useful info for this might be that when I try to unzip the folders or files to Mabi folder, error 0x80004005 will show up. I can't get the .bin files to properly get downloaded.

  Are you playing through steam? If so try to check game files from the steam interface. Fixes everything for me.
• ironwoman wrote on 2014-08-11 01:59
  Steam doesn't allow me to access Mabi where I am right now, so that won't work until I come back to the states.

  Only thing I can suggest without steam is to delete the nexonguard folder (maybe back it up first) and see if it properly redownloads it. Similar concept to when hackshield used to fuck up and the usual fix was doing the same.

  if you're using the game through the nexon folder, go and update nexonguard manually in it's folder
• ironwoman wrote on 2014-08-12 01:30
  When I delete, it just repeats the process of redownloading.
  
  I'd assume it's something wrong with the NGPatcher, since I see the NGPatcher.bin and a NGPatcher.bin.n, which I'm pretty sure isn't supposed to be there.
  Or maybe the upate file, not really sure.
  
  Edit:

  How would I go about this? I see a file called update, but I don't know how to approach it or what I use to update it.

  Bump, now I'm getting the 0x000001f4 error.
  
  God dammit Nexon, why do you make the game so hard to play?

  Copy all this text, save it as .vbs, put it in your mabi folder and run it.

  If there's no file association set for it, you should be able to run it from the command prompt.

  Did it as told, same thing happens.
  
  To clarify, this is not a hackshield error apparently. This screenshot should give you more insight.

  ... I can't even find a record of that error code.
  
  Make a new user account on your computer, log out (do not "switch user", actually "log off") and then log into the new one, can that one run mabi?
• ironwoman wrote on 2014-08-13 11:24
  Tried it, and nope.
  
  I don't get it, the error code doesn't even seem to be listed by Nexon.
• ironwoman wrote on 2014-08-14 06:31
  Bump, just uninstalled Mabi, removed the folder itself, then installed again.
  
  Now when the launcher is trying to patch, it will just go to 27% then just back and repeat.

  Open version.dat with a hex editor, what does it say?
  And which package files exist so far in that install?
