Tired of struggling with the Nexon Launcher

Post has been cleaned up. Please do not use profanity on the forum.

Mabinogi has been constantly unable to start, due to the "product in use" bug, when the program has not been started, nor has the program opened any processes for mabinogi. It is unable to be repaired because it says it is in use, can not be removed because it is "in use", and no matter how many times I restart my computer, or nexon launcher, or attempt to reinstall Mabinogi, the thing still will not start. Nexon launcher is a joke in comparison to the simpler old launcher that actually worked in comparison to the current nexon launcher. I've had to re-install the entire launcher as well as mabinogi many times just to get it to work even once. This is infuriating to deal with the nexon launcher not working, and I can't run the account that I want on steam. I'm so tired of struggling with this launcher over and over.

    I recommend you use the steam launcher then. A friend of mine was having issue with the launcher so I made them a steam account and downloaded the game from there and it launched fine. The only downside is that you have to download the entire game again, but it should let you get around the Nexon Launcher. If that fails, you may have to look for fan developed launchers. I don't recommend the last option since its against the ToS, but the option is there if you really want to get in.

    Have you tried killing it + the hackshield via Task Manager?

    Have you tried to uninstall the launcher and re-installing it without restarting the computer?
