Black Screen Win 8 to 8.1 upgrade

Question: I just upgraded my Windows 8 computer to 8.1, and now when I log into Mabinogi I have a black screen, like the ones shown here:


How do I fix this?


Answer: Roll back your video driver.
More information found here: http://mabinogi.nexon.net/Community/forums#%2Fshowthread.php%3F1096656-Black-Screen-when-loged-into-Mabi%26highlight%3Dblack%2Bscreen%26nxid%3D10

Can't change hair color (Hatsune Miku+)

Question: I have a Hatsune Miku, Kagamine Rin/Len, and/or Kaito hairstyle and I can't change just the color of my hair. Is there a way to do it?




As of the recent change in the dressing room, the new faces, scars, etc being added, the old answer below is not tested and if you have the Maid or Butler hairs, if you rebirth you will lose them. If you have the Miku/Rin/Len/Kaito hairstlyes with colors, you should be ok to rebirth. If you only have the colors and not the hairstyles, your hair color may be lost and defaulted to black. Be WARNED.


Answer: Yes. "If you click on a hairstyle, then click the Dressing Room, then click back to the Appearance Change thing, it'll let you change your hair color." Original Post from forum

Can't find my pet / partner

Question: I created a pet / Maid / Butler / Commerce Partner, and now I can't find it in the list of pets/partners?


Answer: Make sure you check which server you created it on. (You can check on the character selection screen) This usually caused by a pet or partner being made on a different server than the one your characters are on. You can send a ticket and hope they transfer it for you, but this is usually just something you have to live with, and be careful about next time. If you're checking here some day in the future, check the forum to see if many people had the same problem and if it was a glitch. They're more likely to respond if many people had the same problem, versus one person having an accident.

Monster Server is Down

Question: I tried to enter a Shadow Mission or Dungeon and received the message "Monster Server is Down", what's wrong?


Answer: When the monster server goes down, they won't let you enter missions or dungeons, because if you are able to get into a mission like Tailteann Defensive Battle Elite, and nothing shows up to fight you, you win. If you enter a dungeon and the monsters don't show up, keys drop. Makes things pretty easy, right?


You can change channels if you want to dungeon or mission, as this usually only affects a few channels. Or you can choose to commerce (no bandits to fight) or mine in Hilwen, or collect in Shylienn.


Question: Where is Madoc? or any other roaming NPC? Where are the chickens, roosters, foxes, lions, tigers, and bears, oh my? Everything that has to spawn to be there, any moving NPCs all disappear when the monster server goes down. Same answer as above.

Hackshield Error w Razer Game Booster

Question: Whenever I run Mabinogi with Razer Game Booster, I get a hackshield error, (0xe9040019) why?


Answer: Mabinogi's hackshield is thinking Game Booster is a malicious program of some sort. Try running Mabinogi without Game Booster loaded, if that doesn't work, uninstall it.

Oops that wasn't supposed to happen DEP fix

Question: Mabinogi closed on me with the following error "Oops that wasn't supposed to happen", what do I do?


Answer: In the past, people got this error for 1 reason pretty much. Now people are receiving it for multiple errors, so there isn't a global fix for it. But the original fix is:


Add Mabinogi.exe, Client.exe to the DEP exception list. You can also try adding HSUpdate.exe.


"control panel -> system -> advance system settings -> click settings under performance -> Data execution prevention, and simply add the client.exe to the list." Original Post on Forums

You cannot login(3)

Question: I tried to log into my account, and it told me I needed to create a secondary password (even though I already have one) and then I put in my regular secondary password and it said "you cannot login(3)", how do I get back in?


Answer: This happens if your account is already logged in, like on a laptop, and now you're attempting to log into the desktop. Or if you just got kicked from the game by disconnecting or some other error, and the game doesn't realize you're not still connected. You have to wait for about 5 minutes before being able to get in. If the error lasts longer than 15 minutes, and you're absolutely sure you're not logged in another computer, feel free to write about it on the forum.


Also, you don't have to (and shouldn't) continually enter a secondary password while this is happening. Just click the back button, and then every so often click the login button. If you get the message that you have to create a new secondary password, you know it isn't ready, and you can click cancel again. When the new secondary password message stops popping up, you should be able to get in fine.


On 2/15/2014, channel 7 of Ruairi went down and anyone switching to channel 7 is now in a state of Limbo, unable to access their accounts. They will have to wait to have the channel re-set by someone at Nexon. Most likely on the 18th, as the 17th is a federal holiday.


During the weekend of March 15/16th, Tarlach is having the same issue. Hopefully fixed by Nexon on Monday (but it is St. Patty's Day).


Edit: Tarlach may have been fixed. Try logging in again.

I want less Lag, D/Cs, & easier movability.

Question: I want to have less lag, smoother game play, and less D/Cs. How do I do that?


Answer: Go into the Options Section and...
1) Color Depth should be low
2) "Expand Zoom" & "Range of Vision" should both be all the way to the left. (so you're not seeing things far off, which may be annoying, but decreases the chance you're going to crash)
3) Turn off all the effects, under the effects tab. Change to "Not Used" for the pull down settings.
4) Go to the Performance Tab.
~Minimize Characters will turn the other players clothes into robes, so there's less detail being shown. This setting annoys some people, but is very effective in speeding the game up in more laggy situations. If it's on the left, more people will be in robes, than if it's to the right.
~Simplify Demigod effects
~Check "Mini Effects" (This one helps to decrease lag, but causes annoyance. You will not see bard effects. metallurgy spots, or shylienn spots) You can turn it on and off, and go to your homestead or leave your HS to see the effects change.
5) Go to Game, Etc Tab and make sure "Hide Quest Info" is checked. You can also check "Hide Talent Title Icon" while you're there if you don't care to see them (they can also increase lag).


When you're in the game, if you click enter, you can speak in the section at the bottom (sure you know this). But if you click on a tab, like Whisper, nothing from the other tabs will show up. You may dislike not seeing other people speak in many situations, but this can help if you don't care, and in a really laggy situation.


Hit Alt & 'n', and/or Alt & 'p' : These hide the n = names, and p = party ads over people's heads. You can hit Alt & n/p to get them to show up again.


Lowering Lag outside of Game Options:
1) Disabling Nagle's Algorithm
2) Lowering your MTU

D/Cing in Tara while Commercing

Question: I often disconnect while commercing through the town of Tara. It's a safe zone, but I still end up losing ducats. What can I do?


Answer: I have noticed I used to D/C a lot in the center of Tara's town around the fountain or fashion show stage. Now I commerce on the East of Tara, as far East as you can go, follow the castle East, and then go South on the East side of town. I haven't D/Ced in Tara since.

Stuck in Convo w/ Commerce Trade Helper

Question: I'm commercing and I can't mount my commerce load and I can't get out of a conversation with the trade helper.


Answer: I think this happens due to lag; the server thinking you're not close enough to mount, when you're done with the conversation, you get forced back to the person who you were talking to. Once you're stuck, I haven't come across a solution except to force-close the game, and lose the ducats.


But, there is a trick you can use for the future. When you go to talk to anyone while you have a commerce load, dismount yourself (using a hotkey or right clicking on your commerce transportation) from the load, then talk. If you dismount, and there's any issues with the conversation, you won't get auto-remounted when you're done, which is when the glitch happens.

Crashed, now Commercing in Rebirth Area

Question: I crashed while I was commercing, (usually on the boat from or to Belvast), and now when I logged in, I'm in the rebirth area? Humans: Next to Tin, Giants: Vales, Elves: Filia


Answer: Yup. Major bug from Nexon, hasn't been fixed as of yet. You can either continue, or quit. I'd suggest quitting if you're an elf or giant, even though you're losing ducats. The time you lose trying to get to the boat in Qilla to make it back to trade it anywhere is not worth losing the ducats you're losing by not commercing right now.

I Can't Renew My Style Tab

Question: So, my style tab expired the other day and I went to renew it, but the in-game window that popped up said that "the page couldn't be displayed".


Answer: You need enough pon, not just the NX on your account for it to work.


"If you are being directed to a webpage, then chances are you do not have enough pon on your account to cover the cost. Please check your pon balance. If you do not have enough to cover the cost of the style tab, you will need to purchase additional pon from the shop in order to renew it without VIP service." ~ Tasket from Nexon

Can get to Character Selection, then crash

Question: I can get into the game, and see the characters, but I crash when I click to log in.


Answer: Try choosing another character, and another channel. If you log in correctly, you should be able to log out and log into the first character without a problem, unless that character is having character - specific problems like post detailing only D/Cing on 1 channel.


Question: I get my daily VIP items, and crash very often clicking to log in on characters.


Answer: Someone posted this was an anti-bot measure. I'm not sure, but could be true. It seems if you log in quickly and log out quickly, as you would do if you're just getting daily VIP items, this happens. Nothing much you can do, unless you want to wait a couple of minutes before logging out and moving on to the next character.

Bought VIP Service a few days ago. It's gone!

Question: I just bought VIP service, and now my VIP service is gone. It's only been a couple of days, or just yesterday?


Answer: When you go to buy VIP service it lists the price as 14,900 NX for 30 days. When you click to buy it, it says "1,490 NX" for 1 day. You have to pull down and click on 30 days when you go to purchase it.


It is a dick move on Nexon's part to make it go automatically to 1 day, after showing you the price for 30 days. You can look in your previous purchase history to tell which one you bought. You can try sending in a ticket, maybe they'll do something someday.

I have Premium Service but not Guild?

Question: I have premium service and Nexon lists Guild capabilities are Premium Services, but the guild says my service has expired?


Short Answer: Nexon fucked up. Every time this is brought up on the forum, they ignore it. You can maybe get some money back if you send in a ticket.


Long Answer: The following theory states the new service (since Nexon made Free inventory free) does not include Guilds.


"People who are buying VIP/Premium Service are not able to create a guild stone or invite new members to join an existing guild.

When you attempt to join one of these guilds, the person attempting to join gets a message "you must have Mabinogi Premium Service to invite new members" whether or not the person attempting to join has VIP/Premium or not. It's really an error that the guild leader doesn't have service (even though they do).

I tested this out with a friend who has VIP and always renews it before it has ever expired. They were able to place a guild stone today. I bought VIP service yesterday and was unable to.

My theory is that the old service (that is being renewed for some people who have never let it lapse) can still invite guild members and place stones, but if you ever let your service expire for a day or more, and buy new service, the new service does not cover guilds (though you get daily items, see Nao and can do a house). "

I crash on 1 specific channel, not others

Question: I disconnected from a shadow mission, or party members did, and there was no exit button. When I log back in, I can log in on other channels but not the one I D/Ced from.


Answer: If a party member crashes or exits before the shadow mission is loaded, there will be no Exit button. You must continent warp to get out, don't force close if this happens in the future.  If this has already happened, you'll have to wait until the next maintenance from Nexon, to be able to log into that channel again.

How can I get rid of the desktop icon?

Question: Nexon keeps putting a shortcut on my desktop for Mabinogi that goes to the website, but I use a shortcut for the client to open automatically, how do I get rid of the website one?


Short Answer:
1) Right click the Icon
2) Select Hidden under General tab > Attributes
3) Press "OK"
4) Make sure your Folder Options, Hidden files and folders, has "Don't show hidden files, folders, or drives" checked.


Long Answer:
Prevent Mabinogi from re-creating that Desktop Icon with Cmd

Can't Exit Homestead, Use MTs or MGs?

Question: I get these messages:


"Failed to exit Homestead"
"You cannot teleport to a different continent at this time"
"You cannot use a Mana Tunnel at this time"
"You cannot use a Moon Gate at this time"


Answer: There's a glitch with Sunbeds, and maybe fishing chairs, depending on how you stop using them. Just use the rest skill, and try again. If that doesn't work, try sitting in the chair again and getting up.

All of a sudden, Graphics not Compatible

Question: I get this message, "Sorry for the inconvenience: the graphics card installed on your system does not support critical functions required to play the game. The program will no longer proceed," and then the game closes, and won't let me play.


Answer: If you've been playing the game, and this is a recent development, and IF you just updated your video driver, you should roll back your video driver.


If this is a recent development, and you haven't done anything to your video driver, go to C:\Nexon\Mabinogi and double-click to run the default.reg file. The file resets your game options to the default settings. (You or someone else may have changed the settings in the game that causes this issue, the default values should let you in again)

Can't move Hotkeys, they overlap

Question: I can't move the hotkeys on the screen, because they're overlapping with each other.


Answer: You can make icons larger, so there's more space between them as seen in the video below.




Also for related issues, you can go into the Options, and hit Game, Etc Tab and click on "Default Window Position".

Mabi keeps having me reinstall

Question: Every time I hit the Play button on the website, it tells me I have to reinstall the game, even though I was just playing, and the game is already downloaded on my computer.


Answer: Sometimes, usually when there is a mini website (like for the Saga or Aces introductions), the coding messes up the way the Game Play button works. Some people have said using the Play button on the mini website still works.

But a better solution is just go to where Mabinogi.exe is on your computer and make a shortcut for your desktop.

Usually it's in C:/Nexon/Mabinogi/Mabinogi.exe

The path of Mabinogi installation is invalid

Question: When I try to install the game, it says "The path of Mabinogi installation is invalid".

Answer:

Quoted from the below video:


Published on Jun 17, 2013

Method suggested as a fix by CPTRainbow
I don't see it as much of a fix as it is a workaround.
Instructions from the notepad in the video:
Get 7Zip Appropriate for your version of Windows:
- Find out if you have 32 or 64 bit (If you're using XP it's 32 bit)
- Download the appropriate version from 7-zip's website (http://www.7-zip.org)

Download a copy of the most recent Mabinogi Installer. Use the alternative method from the Mabinogi Support page (http://mabinogi.nexon.net/Support/)
- For the sake of speed, I have already acquired a copy for this video ^.^... You'll just have to take my word for it, or watch the MD5 Checking Video.

Install 7-Zip

Right-click MabinogiInstaller and open with 7zip

Graphical Effects Missing?

Question: Everyone's wearing robes? My beam swords aren't showing? I can't see Metallurgy or Shyllien spots? Can't see Music Buff effects?


Answer: Sometimes when you go to a dragon raid, it asks you if you want to optimize your settings so you'll lag less. When you do that, the game "minimizes effects" (also known as mini effects in the options), and also minimizes characters (which puts them in robes).


Go to Options, and the performance tab, and make sure Minimize Characters is unchecked, and Mini Effects is unchecked.

Extreme Lag on one character, others are fine

Question: I have really bad lag every few seconds on one character, or account, but a new character or account plays fine.


Answer: Nexon implemented Quest Markers (pink text that leads to your next Quest destinations). They cause bad lag as they pile up from quests not finished, most people play without them on, and turn them on only when you need to see where you need to go next.


Go to Options -> Game Tab -> Etc Tab and make sure Hide Quest Info is checked.

UGC cannot be redeemed again

Question: I have $20 in Ultimate Game Card (UGC) money, when I put $10 dollars in, Nexon decided the card had been redeemed, and can't be used anymore.


Answer: Go to the place where you pay by cash, and click the login button on the top right  (between Choose Language and Help), you can create an Ultimate Pay account with the same email address you've used for Nexon, etc. And sign in. You can then use the points to pay.
