Can't start game with Nexon and Steam launchers

I've been able to run Mabinogi fine on 4/28/17 through Steam but when I tried to launch the game yesterday, Steam gives me:

followed by the disappearance of client.exe after attempting to relaunch the game:

So, I switched to the Nexon launcher and the play button does not launch the game either. The problem is that when I click play, the loading wheel appears and then the currently in game message appears and disappears as quickly as it shows up. I've noticed that the Client.exe file is missing in the Nexon version even with the re-installation of the game in the launcher.

Here's what I've done so far:

Verified/ Re-installed files for both launchers. (I am running as an admin)
Un/Reinstalled the game + restarted computer
Renamed Mabinogi.exe to Client.exe in the Nexon library. (Turns out that redirects to the direct launcher instead)

Anyone have other suggestions?

    And the files are in that directory as well? Usually even the launcher has problems if it's not in the default directory. I know they have the option to re-direct it but it usually causes problems down the line. Quite sad for those who don't want it in the main drive should something happen to it.

    Yes. I re-installed the game today again.
    This is before I launched the game:

    The files are in their place, yet Client.exe disappears as I launch the game from steam.

    It may sound like an odd question, but are you an Administrator on the computer that you're using? If you are, have you tried choosing to run Steam or Nexon Launcher as Administrator (Right Click > Run As Administrator)?

    Yes, I am running as the administrator. I just tried the "right click> run as admin" right now and it still gave me the permissions error code/ loop w/o launch. I have submitted a support ticket and am currently looking into my anti-virus/ any programs that might be interfering with the launch.
