MabiPro: The Authentic Old-School Mabinogi Experience

Oh, I see the problem.

Actually, the launcher is built against .NET 4.5 (which you don't have) not .NET 4.0.
This is unfortunate because .NET 4.5 cannot be ran on Windows XP.

We're unable to build it against anything lower than 4.5 due to underlying code requirements for libraries that only exist in 4.5 and above.

Yeah, however if we see a high demand for XP, we can certainly backport it to 4.0..it's just a lot of effort for a single person though.

Go into your installation directory and delete any file that looks like the following: 214_to_215.zip or a folder similar like 214_to_215.
The number will probably be 227_to_228, but the concept is the same. Delete it.

Hello Milletians!

Recently, we've noticed a lot of you have been experiencing connection issues to the game server.
These issues can be seen by looking at our 3 day historical graph for player count.

Snapshot taken 2 days ago (as of this post).
These issues have been common in the past week or so.

---

If you experience these issues, we highly recommend that you download WinMTR and then give us samples of the MTR while the issue is occuring. Typically, it will last for about 2 minutes and then your connection will resume and be perfectly fine.

Here is an example of an MTR that clearly highlights where the issue originates:


As you can see, the packet loss is originating at a router owned by one of our datacenter's ISPs: Cogent.

---

This means the packet loss is totally out of our control, and only people who use this specific router will encounter the packet loss.
East coast players and European players will typically go through Cogent.
(Sometimes those players don't, and sometimes other players do though, it depends on how congested the alternative routes are and which one is considered the fastest)

---

We've already contacted the data center about 2 days ago and the issue is being looked into. We believe that the data center has pinpointed the problem and has begun to work on fixing it, however we do not hear a lot back from them typically until they completely fix the problem.

Just thought I'd let you all know what's going on with that, and what to expect.
Have fun and enjoy your time on MabiPro!

-GM Drahan

We appreciate the kind words and it means a lot!
I'm really glad that you've been having fun on MabiPro and have enjoyed your time spent here.
It's great to see that we've a positive influence on people's lifes.

Yeah almost forgot to mention that, you can certainly manually patch the game and direct launch it as well.
The launcher is not required to play.

Delete the patch files...again.
I am unsure why it is trying to update again, but either way it failed.

The 142 error is totally different though, that means the launcher did it's job and tried to launch the game.
Read faq Frequently Asked Questions from MabiPro's Tech(..) for info about that.

Finding installation directory:

Before you can install the new launcher, you must find the installation directory. This is the directory that you installed the game to.

Shortcuts?
Did you create a shortcut or something for the old launcher?
If so, right click the shortcut and hit "Open File Location".
If you didn't create a shortcut....how are you launching it? Hopefully however you are doing that also has Open File Location. The Start Menu and Task Bar typically also have this option.

Windows Search?
If Windows Explorer search has indexed the location, it should be able to locate Client.exe quite fast. This should show you where the location of each Mabinogi installation on your system resides, including MabiPro!

Installer's default directory?
Another way to get an idea of where you might have installed it is by using the installer. If you still have the installer downloaded, that is.
Running the installer and then looking at the directory that it tries to use by default may jog your memory (maybe you just left it at default).

Worst case scenario? Reinstall..?
The worst case scenario is that your installation directory has just vanished from the face of the Earth, and you might aswell just redownload the latest package and reinstall the game. The latest package (227 installer) has the new launcher included already.

---

Installing the new launcher:

You simply have to drag & drop the new launcher's .EXE file into the installation directory that we found earlier, then run the new launcher.
You can download the new launcher by clicking here.

Just a note, we've received a response from the datacenter:

That being said, if you still experience problems please make sure to let us know and if possible give us an MTR.

This might be possible in the future.

This is because Mabinogi is packed with Themida. (This was done by Nexon, not us, so normal Mabinogi is also probably flagged)
Consider switching to a superior antivirus, there is nothing we can do.

Sorry that this maintenance was extended for so long - I was busy some situations going on in real life and I also wanted to make sure that the issue was looked into thoroughly before starting the server back up.

Now that I've dealt with the situations IRL, I was able to diagnose the problem and bring it back up.

Thanks for the patience!

2 of those are placebo effects and have not have any problems or changes.
Pet summoning and logging in (and all database operations really) are mildly delayed due to high load on our database server, but everything else is fine.

Loading maps is mostly clientside and the NPC clients were not modified (and game server is under low load) so there is no combat lag.

Do we condone it? Not really, but there is nothing we can do about it. Realistically it's not our problem.

Update: The maintenance has been completed at 03:38AM 05/26/17 EST.
All servers are running normally.
Please update your client.
Thank you for your patience.

Dear Milletians,

Mabinogi Professional will be undergoing scheduled server maintenance during the following time:
02:30AM 05/26/17 to 05:30AM 05/26/17 (EST)

Reasons:

• Aeira will sell R7 Composing book for 57,000 gold. (Content Polls #2, Question 3)
• New Shadow Mission added: Blood in the Water.
• Hardware restarts for extended stability.

We apologize for any inconvenience.

Well, you still have to delete the patch files/folders. Try running the patcher as administrator next time.

What patch is it failing on?

Try downloading the 227 installer and reinstalling the game.
Also, install it to a different directory this time (maybe a folder on your desktop would be a good idea).

I do not.

Goto the downloads page and download the 227 Client Installer.

This will bring you to version 227 which is only 2 versions behind the latest patch. Judging by where your patcher was failing, it was able to patch at least a few times, which means this should work.

We're definitely still considering ways to get character cards in the first place, and we're also thinking of ways to introduce many new items (or old items, rather, depending on your prospective!) including these clothes.
