Hi,

Since this morning whenever I have tried to open the nexon launcher I have been unable to. It will load briefly, before closing. I've uninstalled, reset my computer, tried running as an admin and tried disabling my antivirus. Nothing.

I peeked into nexon_runtime_stderr.log which threw this at me:
2018-04-26 19:26:12 Exception in thread Thread-22:

Now, for a long while I've had a hardware problem with my old d:/ drive, where it got stuck inside the machine and without basically tearing the whole thing apart I've been unable to get it out. Because of how it's in there the PC thinks it's still connected and won't believe it's been removed. I don't really know whats up with it and I'm scared to like, format or force disconnect it incase I lose what was on there.

BUT that has been an issue for well over a year by this point, and up until today I have had no issue opening up the nexon launcher. Neither mabinogi nor any of the other nexon games are anywhere near the d:/ drive, and it shouldn't be looking at it. (I am assuming here it's the d:/ drive its referring to since none of my other drives seem to have problems).

This may be out of the scope of just the mabinogi forums, but if anyone has any ideas for getting this sorted, I'd really like to get my attendance stamps ;-;

    OK, so, I've solved this problem. For whatever bizarre reason, it WAS the frustrating broken d:/ drive. I went into device management and removed the letter from it and... it works? I can only hope I didn't accidentally break something somewhere else too, but for now it works again. Weird. unfortunately I can't delete posts!
