In an effort to save my neurons and hair, I finally made an account to ask a question about this issue, instead of hoping of finding a thread like what I'm able to ask. To start everything off, I've been having this issue for the past three weeks, of constantly crashes within first minute of logging into my account. This crashing issue progressively got worse as time went by. Before, I would just crash the minute I log in, but now, I crash instantaneously after black cipher finishes loading, after the hackscreen.
From my research, I've done almost everything that people on the web posted. Stuff from:
-Updating HSUpdate.exe (nope doesn't either)
- No, I don't mod, nor have I ever in the past.
- Uninstalling, reinstalling (did all three variables of downloading and redownloading from steam, website, and Nexon Launcher)
- GPU's drivers are updated
- My Computer specs are MORE than capable of handling this game (not to sound condescending or anything)
- I've added Mabinogi and it's associated programs to my Firewall bypasses
- I've added Mabinogi and it's associated programs to my Computer's Data Prevention Execution
-> even went as far as to completely turning off my DPE for my entire computer, but no avail.
- Reinstalled my OS (had a cracked version of Windows 8 prior to this and thought that my the client probably wasn't working due to my un- actived OS, so I found an old copy of Windows 7 Premium and reinstalled my OS. Nope, still doesn't work.)
- I've done all the "compatibility" stuff that most people tell other people who have similar issues like mine, but that honestly don't do anything since my UAC (User Account Control) settings are OFF.
- I've probably done almost everything that google has provided me with, and yet no avail.
*Might I add that, my computer's CPU and GPU are overclocked, but honestly that doesn't affect my ability to not crash from the game. (I've switched back to the UEFI or factory settings, but no avail- the game still crashes within load up.)

-> GTX 660 TI

(I can play Combat Arms, just fine by the way)
Is there someone here who can assist or remedy this issue for me? I do want to send a ticket to Nexon about this issue but the chances of any of the lackluster employees from Nexon responding, is insanely unlikely. Trust me, I know. I remember playing Maplestory in 2008 and was wrongfully banned, tried appealing- nope, didn't work. Digressing from my tangent, if anyone needs me to make a short little video of what's going on my desktop, when I launch the client, I'll be more than glad to record and upload it.
Just to give my brief history with the game, I've been playing off and on since Beta. I have the Beta Tester Title. The last time I played Mabinogi was probably in 2011 or so, WAY WAY before the game got so much easier to play, in retrospect, easier to play as well, and before the whole Back Cipher update.
Thank You,
Henry
