So basically, my game likes to crash - a LOT. It mostly happens after I disconnect and try to log back in. On entering my secondary password, the game becomes unresponsive and I have to force it to close via task manager. Just as I was logging out, my game said 'Saving character data' then froze, and then closed itself and I was back at my desktop. I'd just like to know why this is happening and if there's anything I can do for it. My computer is more than capable of running Mabi, I even have a compatible graphics card. Any help would be appreciated.

Edit for clarification: my problem isn't regarding the disconnections themselves, it's regarding my client crashing upon attempting to log in after a disconnect and sometimes it even crashes when trying to log out. It isn't my end, as I have high speed internet connected via an Ethernet cable and I have priority one on my network.

You have a crappy wifi connection, either that or someone's streaming stuff off of twitch, or browsing tumblr a lot.

Thank you for replying, but it doesn't exactly relate to my problem - not to mention I'm connecting via Ethernet and have priority access to my network. My problem is that I crash upon trying to log back into Mabinogi, or sometimes trying to log out. My problem is the game crashing, not the disconnections. I could live with those if the game wouldn't crash as soon as I entered my secondary password.

It never happens if it's the first time I've run Mabi and I can log in normally, but if I do disconnect, upon attempting to log back in my client crashes. Earlier today I also experienced a crash upon 'saving character data' and I'd just like to know if I can do anything to rid myself of the annoyance.

In the start menu type "msconfig" with no quotes and hit enter, in the new window go to the startup tab and disable everything, then restart and see if mabi behaves better.

The only thing I have enabled at startup is my anti-virus, which has never caused me any problems before. I think I'll just try a reinstall and if things don't improve I'll do as suggested. I'd just like to say thank you to you for helping me since nobody else has really replied to my thread so thanks!
