POSSIBLE FIX

[Wholemilk]

Disclaimer: I'm not responsible for what happens for using this fix! It works for me, and I'm not one to sit around and wait for others to fix it for me.

If you were shafted like me, this is how you fix it if you don't want to wait for NCSoft.

Get the pre-patch client.exe from a trusted friend OR Download it here. I take no responsibility for this fix.

Next up, go to your Client.exe which should be under \BnS\bin

and rename it to Client.bak incase you need that again.

Now move the old Client.exe into that folder.

Now you'll need a batch file to launch the client.exe without going through the launcher. make a batch file and type/copy paste the following snippet in bold.

start Client.exe /launchbylauncher /sesskey /CompanyID: "12" /ChannelGroupIndex: "-1" /LoginMode 2 -lang:English -region:0

region:0 --- for NA

region:1 --- for EU

edit: For those too lazy to make their own .bat

EU: https://www.dropbox.com/s/jf3w26ump6taqrr/startEUClient.bat?dl=0

NA: https://www.dropbox.com/s/9jou4m6yb56fvh4/startNAClient.bat?dl=0

Again, you're free to take a pre-patch Client.exe from a fellow clanmate.
