It's been fixed since then. I'm on xp with read data folder turned on.

Maybe i'm on crack and don't realise it. Obviously, i'm quite adept at all things computer so I have done many things to try and rectify this problem like:

-removing mabi completely, not just deleting the folder, but removing all nexon / mabi registry strings.
-reinstalling clean version and packing files individually
-trying data folder enable with memory patcher

Nothing. Every time I pack skillleveldescription.xml and try to start mabi, it will continually try to patch itself - download a patch, then the Start Game button disappears from use. Restart client, mabi patches again, Start Game button disappears. I could do this all day but i'd rather masturbate.

Given the options, you should just go ahead and perform your plan B.

It's cool though, that you're so computer literate!

Shame you're not, you know, literate.
If you were, I'm sure you'd be aware that you could have attempted to bypass your issue (details in the next topic down), or that this topic is pre-update (2nd post in this topic).

I'd be all "OMGZ, SEARCH!?!?!?!!" but, this is frankly fking ridiculous, from someone who protests any sort of knowledge, or even common sense.


Let me explain how I came to these conclusions:


Problem: The patcher is patching.

So:
Either something is out of date. Possible solution: Stop pasting the first post into an xml file, extract your own, update it correctly.

OR:
Patcher is patching for no reason. Possible solution: Launch client directly.


I hope this clears up your understanding on basic problem solving.
Take your hand out of your pants and try ALL possible fixes, before coming back and QQing about how you'd rather fap than think.

@cythereaa If you have the Data Packer open when you start Mabinogi.exe, it's gonna try and patch itself.

@Adam_j Why the fuck did you crawl back into the modding world. I thought you ran away or some shit?

I never left?

On that note, why are you back?

I'unno, I've been off this site for like.. almost 2 years? Not living in Vegas anymore, having trouble finding a new job, you know.. life sucks all that. So I figure what better way to spend my down times goofing around on Epvp again.

I lol'd. Perhaps i'm not the one on crack after all.. lol :)


Forgive me for giving you too much credit, but I assumed that you knew I kept my shit up to date. Mybad. I am also loading the client directly. I am seriously fucked if I know what was going on, but now we've all got bigger shit to worry about- so I doubt i'll be figuring it out any time soon.



Aldeel: I'm 90% sure that I tried loading it without the data packer being open. 90%. I'd have to slap myself in the face if that were the case.... ffs, lol.

If you're loading the client directly, you never see the patcher...

Now forgive me as we may be talking about two different things, but am I correct in assuming your description of loading the client directly is running client.exe / mabinogi.exe from the mabi folder?

I never load from the website, if that's what you mean.

Oh, I've never loaded from the website, so I'll never refer to that.

Run the client.exe directly with the command line, see what happens.

Doesn't work for me. Any ideas?
