Cabal Error Fix Guide

I would advise you all to simply press Ctrl+F and enter a keyword to search this thread since reading through it may be rather tedious when looking for something specific!



Graphical glitches (odd colours, stripy screens etc.):

Common problems:

1. Incorrectly displayed interface
* Update graphics card drivers
* Reinstall and ensure successful updating
2. Incorrectly displayed interactional features (mobs/NPCs)
* Update graphics card drivers
* Reinstall and ensure successful updating

* Please double check your PSU either by temporarily replacing it or using it on another rig.
* If system is overclocked please also revert back to the factory default.

Updating issues:

Common problems:

1. Failed to download server information. Please restart Launcher.
* Delete cookies & temp files then restart PC
* Disable any firewall/AV software you have running
* Allow update.exe in firewall/AV exceptions list
* Allow torrents through your router
2. Update 379_1 downloading...
* Urlinfo.ini has now been updated. This paticular error should no longer appear.
3. The game will be closed to recieve the update.
* Delete update files completely and let it download all updates from scratch
* Download a pre-updated copy
* Re-install current copy and auto-update
* Re-install current copy and manually update
4. The game fails to reach the login screen before I get a CTD (crash to desktop) with no error message
* Reinstall game client and ensure successful updating, your client has corrupted files essential for start-up




Restarting PC:

Common problems:

1. Graphical glitches followed by black screen
2. Graphical glitches followed by PC restart
3. Any errors followed by black screen and/or restart
4. Any combination of the above
* Check the following are in working order:
o
o PSU or UPS (Power Supply Unit or Uninterruptable Power Supply)
o Network Card or Network Cable
o Graphics Card and temperature
o Motherboard
* Remove and hardware/software you may have installed in-between the last successful playing and first reboot.
o
o Or remove all non-essential hardware connected and attempt to run Cabal.
* Remove all hardware and peripheral device drivers and install them one at a time (check to see if Cabal runs after each installation)
* Make sure you have disabled all software that you're not using at the moment (including all hacks), some software might conflict with gameguard and cause a PC restart.
Lockups and hangs in the operating system can be attributed to out-of-date or missing chipset drivers for the motherboard, missing Windows updates, or corrupted/outdated video card drivers. In most cases, loading updated chipset drivers, updating video card drivers, and installing available Windows updates will resolve these issues.

In rare cases, these types of issues can be related to underpowered or poor quality power supplies in the computer. Please make sure that the power supply in your computer meets the requirements of the graphics card you have installed. If you are adding a new video card to your system, sometimes it is neccessary to upgrade that power supply for your computer as well.

- See post 6 for further details



Account-related issues:

Common problems:

1. Account is banned.
* Submit a support ticket - account related cases are not for the Technical Support Forum!
* A few likely causes are, however:
o Your account has been blocked for using automated programs (bots)
o Your account has been blocked for using offensive language towards another individual
o You failed to update correctly and were caught in the ban script using a "speedhack" (Error Code 6: Type 174)
2. Wrong ID and Pass.
* Ensure the correct password is being changed via the correct part of the site, i.e forum password in the User CP and the game password on the main page.
o Someone has gained access to your account or you have forgotten your details. Please refer to:
+ Magic thread no.1
+ Magic thread no.2
+ Magic thread no.3



Disconnections and Connection Issues:

Common problems:

1. Disconnecting at login
* Ensure the correct password is being changed via the correct part of the site, i.e forum password in the User CP and the game password on the main page.
2. Disconnecting entering dungeons
3. Disconnecting changing map
* Reinstall the game client and ensure successful updating
Sometimes during an installation some of the non-essential files are corrupted and not detected. If you experience a DC every time you do something specific then you most likely have a corrupt file in you game folder.
* See below
4. Disconnecting at random intervals
* Please ensure a stable internet connection; re-check cables in and out of router/modem and PC.
* Kill all processes that could be using any bandwidth and re-check Cabal's connection stability.
I would also like to point out that the longer you have Cabal running the more sluggish your machine will become. You can therefore also try simply restarting your machine.
* If you're using a PPPoA connection type:
o Check all your hardware connected (router/cables/lines in & out etc.) and ensure all are in working order.
o If you experience random DC's in your internet connection (not just in Cabal) contact your ISP's support desk and ask for further instructions on how to identify the cause.
5. Disconnecting after X amount of time
6. Disconnecting after leaving shop open
* If you're using a PPPoE connection type:
o Using a "keep-alive" program such as ConKeep. (Keep-alive software stops your ISP shutting down your session through inactivity - though has no effect on packets sent/recieved)



Cash Shop:

*
* I get an error when opening the cash shop
o Right click "Local Area Connection" icon in your system tray and select "Repair".
o Clear temp files & cookies
o Use Windows Update to update to the latest version of IE 7.
o Google the downloads for Adobe Flash 10 and Java Runtime Environment.
o This is not the case as incorrect MTU gives the "error" message and not an infinite loop (in 99% of the cases)
o You need to inquire your ISP whether they set up such a proxy for your connection. You will need to convince them to remove the transparent proxy from your connection.
* No text when viewing the cash shop
o Ensure all language packs have been installed on your machine
o Use Windows Update to update to the latest version of IE 7.
o Google the downloads for Adobe Flash 10 and Java Runtime Environment.
o This is not the case as incorrect MTU gives the "error" message and not an infinite loop (in 99% of the cases)
o You need to inquire your ISP whether they set up such a proxy for your connection. You will need to convince them to remove the transparent proxy from your connection.
* I wait and wait but the cash shop won't load
o Right click "Local Area Connection" icon in your system tray and select "Repair".
o Clear temp files & cookies
o Use Windows Update to update to the latest version of IE 7.
o Google the downloads for Adobe Flash 10 and Java Runtime Environment.
o This is not the case as incorrect MTU gives the "error" message and not an infinite loop (in 99% of the cases)
o You need to inquire your ISP whether they set up such a proxy for your connection. You will need to convince them to remove the transparent proxy from your connection.
* I know the Cash Shop was updated but I still see an older version of the page
o Open IExplorer and delete temp files/ cookies
o Use Windows Update to update to the latest version of IE 7.
o Google the downloads for Adobe Flash 10 and Java Runtime Environment.
o This is not the case as incorrect MTU gives the "error" message and not an infinite loop (in 99% of the cases)
o You need to inquire your ISP whether they set up such a proxy for your connection. You will need to convince them to remove the transparent proxy from your connection.

-- Common causes:
o Corrupt Game Files
o Non-updated Internet Explorer
o Missing Adobe Flash Player and Java Runtime Environment
o Incorrect MTU size
o Transparent Proxy set by the ISP



Corrupt files:

(See Corrupt files replacement list as an alternative solution) - Post no.2 (Below)

Common problems:

1. Incorrectly displayed skills
* Reinstall the game client and ensure successful updating
2. Completer skills can be used in conjunction with another
* Reinstall the game client and ensure successful updating - failure to do so could result in a permanent ban (see Account-related issues)
3. Missing skill textures

Why does my PC restart when I run Cabal?

That’s an awfully difficult question to answer, because there are so many possible reasons for the behaviour.

A format/fresh install is really the only absolute answer if software causes are suspected. If you’ve already attended to uninstalling and reinstalling the motherboard chipset and the display card device drivers, and to uninstalling/reinstalling Cabal (or any other offending games), and ensured that the system is free of viruses or other malware, then a format/fresh install is perhaps the most straightforward and simple approach to adopt. It’s what I’d do in the situation anyway, to be truthful!

Be sure you’ve had the most relevant and up to date device drivers available correctly installed first, though! And don’t forget to attend to the audio device drivers as well. Those interact with DirectX, and can sometimes cause problems as well.

If the system continues to restart after a format/fresh install has been properly performed then you can safely assume it is a hardware fault. Some of the more commonly encountered causes would include:

* Overheating. Check that the fans on your CPU and graphics card are functioning correctly. Perhaps the heatsinks need to be removed, cleaned up and then refitted using a new application of thermal paste?
* Inadequate or failing power supply unit. If the graphics card isn’t receiving enough ‘grunt’ then the system restarting would be understandable.
* RAM mismatch. If you have a ‘mix and match’ of RAM modules installed in the system then incompatibility errors could be generating the restarts.

Often, when a system becomes a bit ‘scrambled’ from the wear and tear of 3D gaming the only real solution is a format and fresh install. Before going to that extent, however, try this:

* Right-click My Computer and choose ‘Properties’.
* On the ‘Advanced’ tab, under ‘Startup and Recovery’ click on ‘Settings’.
* Under ‘System failure’ uncheck ‘Restart’ and ensure the other options are ticked.

You might want to check those potential problems out before you try formatting, considering that your system has sometimes restarted straight after it has been powered up.

What makes my PC crash randomly?

A number of things exist that can cause a PC to crash and become unresponsive. As of yet there is no set fix for a crash.

One way to identify the cause is to do the following:

Right click My Computer > Manage.

In the window that appears, along the left navigate in System Tools > Event Viewer > Open "Application" in the right.

Next, sort by Source and list any that say Application Hang. After which, if you cannot identify the program PM me and I'll see what I can do about it. If you can, however, identify the program(s) then, if possible, make sure they're turned off next time you start Cabal.


Poor performance can be related to improper driver settings or insufficient system hardware or resources. To ensure that you get the best performance out of the video card, you should have the latest motherboard BIOS and motherboard and CHIPSET drivers installed. These are available from the system manufacturer’s website.

Also, make sure that your computer meets all of the recommended system requirements for the application or game that you are using. You should also have disabled all background programs and services that are not necessary to run Windows. Make sure that you have an adequate power supply.

In some cases, a clean uninstallation, followed by an installation of the latest drivers can resolve issues with poor performance.

If the problem still exists, this may be a limitation with the graphics BUS on the motherboard. It may be limiting the available bandwidth, which will reduce the performance of the graphics card. It may also be possible that the card is not performing as it should. To test further, you will need to install the card in another system (if possible).
You should also check your BIOS setting
1. Basic BIOS options

NOTE: These options may vary depending on the type/version of your system. You may or may not have all these options present.

* Video BIOS Shadow - DISABLED
* Init Primary Display - AGP (toggle this setting if your video card is PCI)
* AGP MASTER 1W/S READ/WRITE - ENABLED/DISABLED (toggle this option)
* AGP Aperture size - 128 MB
* AGP Driving Control - AUTO
* Disable AGP 8x/4x mode in the BIOS
* Disable AGP Fast Writes in the BIOS
* AGP Driving Control - AUTO
* AGP Performance Control - ENABLED/DISABLED (toggle this option)
* Assign IRQ for VGA - ENABLED
* System Bios Cacheable - DISABLED
* Video BIOS Cacheable - DISABLED
* VIDEO RAM Cacheable - DISABLED
* Read Around Write - ENABLED/DISABLED (toggle this setting)
* PnP OS installed - YES

2. BIOS Settings for ADVANCED USERS

NOTE: These options may vary depending on the type/version of your system. You may or may not have all these options.

1. Load optimized defaults in your BIOS
2. Set your memory settings to default values (i.e. DRAM Timing = SPD)
3. Lower the memory frequency to 133/166mhz (effectively DDR266/333mhz)
4. If available, increase AGP Voltage to 1.6 - 1.8 in the BIOS
5. SDRAM Cycle length - 2.5
6. Bank Interleave - ENABLE/DISABLE (toggle this setting - it will only make a difference if you have more than one memory module)
7. DRAM Burst length – 4

3. Adjust graphics hardware acceleration as follows:

1. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
2. Double-click Display.
3. On the Settings tab, click Advanced.
4. Click the Troubleshoot tab.

3. NOTE: If AGP Texture Acceleration says Not Available, the feature is unavailable on your video adapter. Not all video adapters support AGP Texture Acceleration.
4. Click Exit.

5. Ensure that all three DirectX Features are enabled

Run the available tests to ensure that each of the three components passes.

6. Restart your computer by using a clean boot procedure

NOTE: You may experience a temporary loss of some services functionality when you follow these steps. Restoring the settings restores the functionality, but it may result in the return of the original error message or behavior.

1. Click Start, click Run, type Msconfig in the Open box, and then click OK.
2. On the General tab, click Selective Startup.
3. Under Selective Startup, click to clear "Load Startup Items".
4. On the Services tab, click to select the Hide All Microsoft Services check box, and then click Disable All.
5. Click OK, and then click Restart.

7. Empty the Windows temporary folder, by following these steps:

1. Click Start, click Run, type %temp% in the Open box, and then click OK.
2. On the Edit menu, click Select All.
3. On the File menu, click Delete.
4. Click yes when you receive the following message:
5. Are you sure you want to send these items to the Recycle Bin?


Based on our experience, lockups and hangs issues are usually due to improper system configuration, driver issues, faulty hardware, or a known issue between a given application, driver and hardware in use.

There are several things you can check:

Please keep in mind that you may have already done some of the following suggestions and you DO NOT need to try each one.
1. Please check with your motherboard or PC manufacturer to ensure that you have the latest Chipset driver.
2. Please check with your motherboard or PC manufacturer to ensure that you have the latest Bios flash.
3. Ensure that you have installed any patches or updates for the game or application. You will find these on the developer’s website.

4. Ensure that the latest DirectX version is correctly installed and functioning. For Microsoft’s instructions visit: www.microsoft.com/directx . To access the DirectX Diagnostic Utility do the following: Click Start > Choose Run > type “dxdiag” (without quotes) > Press OK

* Ensure all three (3) DirectX features are enabled:
1. From the Display tab, under DirectX Features, ensure that each feature (DirectDraw Acceleration, Direct3D Acceleration, and AGP Acceleration) are enabled.
2. Ensure that under Notes it states, “No Problem(s) Detected”.
* Verify that all DirectX files are installed:
* From the DirectX Files tab.
* Ensure that under Notes it states, “No Problem(s) Detected”.
* Try to force a different refresh rate:
1. From the More Help tab, click Override.
2. Enter an override value that is compatible with both your video card and your monitor.
3. Click OK, and then Exit.



5. Ensure your power supply has the required wattage output for the video card.
6. For AGP ( Accelerated Graphics Port) cards ensure:

This can be resolved by checking connection status and identifying source of weak connection, and removing said problem, I.e. > Tell other users of shared connection to limit download/uploads

(* It is my personal opinion that this has only been affecting Wireless players and therefore is PROBABLY due to the distance they are from there router.... but I cannot 100% confirm this yet I am 95% sure this is the case, I have been able to reproduce this error by simply standing where my Wifi connection is at its weakest while still being connected, Ec06 405 reproduced on 3 occasions during this experiment *)

Error: When attempting to log into the game I receive the following error - "an error has been detected by the hacking protection system"

Cause: GameGuard has identified a program or file which it believes is malicious.

Solution

* Run a full anti-virus and malware scan - if gameguard identifies any spyware it will automatically show this error message
* If your computer is clean, please check the forums (thread to be made shortly), for a list of programs which might be conflicting with GameGuard. Well known programs include Yahoo Toolbar and several anti-virus softwares
* If you cannot see any program which might conflict with GameGuard, and have scanned your computer fully for malware, please try deleting all processes with the exception of CABAL.
* Still not work? Contact CABAL Online technical support


Conflict between AVG and GameGuard
Since the latest update to AVG Anti-Virus, GameGuard has been mistakenly identified as a Trojan Horse software. This has prevented GameGuard from being able to load and has had the effect of stopping users from accessing the game.

INCA, the developers of GameGuard, have provided us with the following work around. They have also informed us that they are working closely with the developers of AVG, in order to find a solution as soon as possible.

The Solution:

1. Open the AVG Anti Virus Command Centre
2. Double click the option
3. Click the "Excludes" tab
4. Click the "Edit Excludes" tab
5. Add the path to the GAMEGUARD folder.

Please make sure no other processes are running while playing Cabal (upload process list from task manager), that your internet isn't having connection problems (run a tracert), your drivers are all up-to-date (update via provider's site), your PCs meet the minimum specs and that your clients are all cleaned of corrupt files.

Process explorer can be helpful when checking what processes are doing what, so it's advisable to download that and upload the screenshot from that if you need help.

Checking for connection issues:

# Press the Start button
# Select RUN and type CMD at the text box
# At the command Prompt (eg. C:windows), type this Tracert Tracetest.e-games.com.ph
# Wait for the test to be finished then expand the CMD window

Upload those screenshots when finished.

If you keep disconnecting can you please also perform a google ping and keep it running:

Start -> Run... -> "CMD /k ping -t www.google.com"

Leave this running while you play; when you next disconnect check the CMD window for any fluctuations in the connection (time-outs etc.).

If you receive time-outs frequently regardless of Cabal it could be a DNS issue. Instead, run the ping via IP:

Start -> Run... -> "CMD /k ping -t 216.239.59.104"

And leave that running throughout your next disconnection.

If it's not a connection issue it will be a hardware/software issue. So please make sure your drivers are all up-to-date by visiting the manufacturers website and downloading the relevant driver(s). If that still doesn't work you can also try rolling back and using a slightly older driver (no, a 3 year old driver will not do - I mean up to 12 months difference).

Please also check your PC meets the requirements for running CABAL Online (Europe). If not I'd suggest upgrading the hardware that fails to meet the standards.

Finally you can also reinstalll your client. The fail-proof solution would be:

1. Start -> Run... -> "msconfig" -> "startup" -> "disable all" -> Apply -> Reboot PC.
2. Uninstall your client
3. Delete from installation location (e.g. C:\Program Files)
4. Delete from Recycle Bin
5. Reboot PC
6. Install fresh client (do not open the launcher afterwards)
7. Apply all in one patch


NB I advised removing startup programs to reduce running processes that could interfer with the installation process. You can re-enable the processes once the installation task is complete.

Also, starting up programs in conjunction with Cabal may cause Gameguard to behave irrationally and treat any software being loaded as a hacking attempt - so take note of what you're loading incase you recieve an EC while doing so.
Starting up additional programs can also demand CPU resources that your PC doesn't have at hand because of Gameguard; in these cases the CPU refocuses its efforts on loading the program without regard for those already running - which can lead to broken uploads/downloads to and from the servers and desynchronization (which is then detected by Gameguard -> kicking you from the game).

Porta Inferno: In A Nutshell

Porta Inferno itself is a dark, gloomy map, reminiscent of the Volcanic Citadel. There is a lot of what appears to be once-grand architecture, fallen into ruin, and the map switches between rough rock and smooth walkways towards the center, before winding through narrow paths towards the last two bosses. In terms of the lore of CABAL Porta Inferno is one version of Hell itself, and the mobs reflect this. Demons, fallen souls, and other horrors lurk in shadows, while skeletal dragons soar overhead. The bosses are... interesting, especially the really big last boss. Best to take a couple of friends with you if you feel like going for a couple of rounds with Minisha.


The main attraction of the new map would, however, be the chance to get a couple of the new skillbooks. They all drop here, and there will be a lot of people aiming for 180, so the supply should not be too bad.

Chaos Arena has been revamped and improved as well. It now becomes just another dungeon, which means you can enter it at any time, and the maximum number of people is limited to 7. This also means that you can go on any channel, and you do not have to deal with guild-claimed channels any more. Some people will, of course, be rather unhappy at this, There is also no death limit in the new Chaos Arena, as you will simply resurrect at the starting point again if you die. You will, however have to break the gate again, but the gates have been modified as well so it should not take too long to destroy it. The time in Chaos Arena has been taken down to 20 minutes instead of 25, but that is not too big a change either, since you won’t waste 5 minutes breaking the gate at the start of it. The other big change is that the mobs no longer drop huge amounts of cores, but Alz only. There is one chest at the end of the dungeon, once you kill the boss (Chaotic Leth Tyrant for the level 6 CA, if anyone was curious) and this chest will drop several items, including (but not limited to) the beloved force cores.

CABAL is now also dabbling with social media, as you can use Twitter from inside the game itself. The process if fairly simply, you simply open the Twitter menu (Cabal --> Community --> Twitter) enter your Twitter account details, and post your message. We will most likely make use of this on the next update as well, so look out for that.


The other parts of the update are fairly self-explanatory. The Mission War levels will change, and there will now be only Bringer per war, as the whole system of Guardians is being removed. The Bringer will be the person scoring the most points, regardless of class. Your score will also change the rewards you get, and the higher you score the better. There are also several minor bug-fixes for the Mission War being applied with this patch, which will be listed with the patch notes.


The other minor change that will be obvious almost immediately is that if you click on a person’s name in the chat, you now get a small menu with three functions ‘whisper, party, buddy’.


The Philippines will enter the Gates of Hell next week, October 14. The Thursday maintenance will be extended until 6 PM in preparation for the new patch.

Journeying through Porta Inferno Map

Cabal PH only has two weeks more to go to brace themselves for the new patch, Episode IV: Porta Inferno. The latest patch features what many believe is the best addition to the game in a long time, the Porta Inferno Map.


A new map serves as every player's new playground, where their skills, armors and weapons will be tested against the brash monsters always ready to pounce on them. Now let's take a trip to the dark side of Hell.


Every man’s journey in the Porta Inferno should start from Port Lux, in front of Officer Morrison.





The introduction to the Porta Inferno is given by him. He tells you of how cowardly he has been when he first set foot on the grounds of the gate of hell. He recounts his grim experience when he once got there and then challenges you to continue what he never had the courage to do when he was young— defy the dangers of the region and discover the secrets of the Dark Clansmen. He then hands you the GPS map of PI.

If you are already level 160, you can dash your way directly to Porta Inferno via the Warp Center that branches into Lake Side, Fort Ruina and Port Lux (but you wont have the map until you get the introductory quest from Morrison).





Whichever side youre in, the portal to the map would look the same:





The first group of monsters you will encounter comes in an interesting variety:a three-headed hound (Kerberos), a purple gargoyle (Stone Gargoyle), a one-eyed monster (Beholder), and a skeleton horsey (Fallen Steed).





With decent defense you’d be able to work your way through them. With average damage, I would say they are a little hard to kill. Their spawn rate and spawn spots are also favorable. Monster levels range from 167 to 170.

Some few dashes away and you’ll meet the Dark Archers, Dark Spirits and Dark Shielders whose level range from 171-174.





At the center of the map roam the Succubus, the Hellbound and the Incubus whose levels are from 173-176.





At the center of the map you will also find the first boss you will encounter in Porta Inferno—the Manticore.







In ancient mythology, the Manticore is a legendary creature with features of a lion and a dragon. The depictions of the creature vary , but in CABAL the Manticore is more like a dragon—with dark, beautiful wings, a bulky body resembling that of a dragon, red fearsome eyes, sharp, destructive teeth and a shining, deadly scorpion tail.

The only good thing about the manticore is that it is not aggressive. It wouldnt attack a nearby character until it gets attacked. However, once damaged (directly or indirectly) it becomes enraged and starts to assault enemies close to it.

There is only one way after the Manticore boss, the more inferno like area inhabited by the Demonic Jasons, Demonic Mayotas and Demonic Alises…





Around this area you will find Dark Kimzark, the second boss in PI , a bandit/anteater-like boss who wields two daikatanas which he would swing forcefully upon you. Like the Manticore, Dark Kimzark is also not aggressive.







At this moment, you might complain about the pictures being dark and so unclear. But that’s how Porta Inferno looks like, dark and eerie (you actually need to tweak your settings so you can see more clearly).

Continuing further, you will eventually reach the end of Porta Inferno, on the north-west part of the map. Here lies the toughest monster in the map: the Keshapone Minisha.





When no one’s around he would fashionably pose like this:







But the moment an intruder steps into his territory, he starts to go wild, striking the unwelcome adventurer with his beautiful, luminous spear…







There is one fact about the bosses in PI: you cannot tackle them alone. Not only do they deal massive damage (even at bm+aura mode), they have a huge chunk of HP and above all, they have imba regen. So if you’re planning to hunt for them, make sure you have comrades at your side (unless you intend to die and go straight to hell).


Seriously, we expect them to loot better items than the earlier map bosses. The normal mobs, I assume, drop items the same way/rate monsters in PF do (plus better items since monsters here are supposed to be stronger than the others).
