Reguarding Mabinogi: Heroes Test Server

I have noticed some really weird behavior with the Test Client. Unfortunately I haven't really seen much of an answer on the official forums to the issue. As for the behavior....

When the client is installed you run the startup via the website. It may look like it's updating however it's not. It's installing the client AGAIN but in another section. After the installation is done it loops the file check every time you attempt to start the game. The initial install location being "C:\Nexon\Heroes-Test\ko-KR" for the first install. But when running the client to update it then reinstalls it in "C:\Nexon\ko-KR" and loops the file check after that.

Whether or not this is a Windows 10 issue for people outside of Korea or if it's simply a Windows 10 install protocol Korea took advantage of and strictly made Test Server work specifically for the Korean coded version of Windows 10 I have no idea. It may just be that I may have to re-partition for Windows 8.1 for Test Server to work. I'll re-partition my drive when this upcoming week is done. Black Friday is gonna kill me at work xD

I can't really give it a try since I lost the details of my Korean nexon account. Anyway, it's nice to see that you still keep your project up-to-date.

I'm trying to considering my job is working me more than my job description states but hey it pays bills and rent. I still haven't had the chance to test that issue but since I will be building a new PC I can test it there.

Edit: Fixed the issue. Apparently when the game makes a 2nd installation directory you have to manually update the first one to match otherwise it loops on Windows 10.

Edit 2: Nevermind that made it connect to the live server. Very interesting issue I have going on here.

How do you even connect to the test server?
I deleted my live server version and installed the test version only, but my character from the live server is still showing up on the supposed test server client.

Trying to play Dalia, crashes to the desktop when the tutorial begins.

That's how Test Server works. When you have characters on Live server it will copy your characters to test server for newer story content. It's to prevent grinding so much to test the new story content. As for the Test Server I think Korea has solved the issue it was having before. I'm waiting for it to appear again.
