SB Error Trapping and Logs are 100% useless to determine anything sadly. Start where suggested above... Make sure SB.exe is running compatibility mode for Windows 8 or 7. I prefer to tell people to use 8 since 8 is compatible with 7 but has better kernel core features. Next make sure you have Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Make sure it is the 2010 and you need the x86 version but getting both is not going to hurt and usually advised to have the 64 bit too. You should already have DirectX if you are windows 10+ but check this too. I doubt it is your anti-virus but what you can do to make sure you have all the proper files is look in the Scarlet Blade installation folder and locate this file (client.version). Delete this file and then run SBLauncher.exe it will force a full file integrity scan. Should eliminate if you have bad or missing files. If you think your anti-virus is quarantining a file you can whitelist your entire SB folder and stop it from scanning these files.

Nah it is straight foward it just installs... just follow default paths and such kind of just click next next etc let it do its thing

I do not advise in grabbing 3rd party sourced DLL's they can contain malware and viruses... Do so at your own risk... You are better off with other options.. You can try a command in Admin Mode and see if it just needs to be re-registered or reinstall the Package. This is safer than trusting an outside source for code files... You can also try in Command Prompt sfc /scannow Run the Command Prompt as administrator and type the following commands takeown /f ATL100.dll regsvr32 ATL100.dll Reinstalling the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package. This is safer than trusting an outside source for code files... You can also try in Command Prompt sfc /scannow

Please do not necro super old threads like these.

You could probably do a search on the internet and find it...

That crap Radeon RX 7800xt is the issue, it is known to have problems running some games, especially some older ones. Sadly, to say it is something happening to a lot of ppl. If you was to swap to a Nvidia 3080 or 40 series you would have no issues and it would run better/cooler the whole works... Nvidia just does a better job with directx is mainly the thing.

Ok after reading this again, I think you are trying to say will the persons VOID still reduce it even if zero DEF. The answer is yes.... As it is figured as a reduction in damage in the formula. Reduced Physical Damage = (Physical Damage) * (100 - %VOID) / 100 - DEF Person receives less damage cause the attack sent in is lowered by X amount first by VOID and then Y amount by DEF It will not be though affected by your DEF or VOID it is their DEF n VOID that matters on incoming attacks.

I am not even remotely sure what you are saying here. Nether will reduce the attack they both increase it, because they both lower the targets def or void by piercing thru a certain percentage of it. Think of them as lowering a DEF stat or VOID by that much.. Look over the formulas I shown it will explain in math what happens. It does not affect your def or void unless the player or mob uses it against you... Now if we were to give a Boss VOID or DEF Pierce or something yes it would lower your DEF or VOID. Just like a straight debuff for a AOE would lower it, think like Tartatrus there is a EVA debuff in the boss rooms.

Well technically mobs can have pretty much any stat that players can have, thus this really depends on each mob. I would though say that most mobs are more def-based. However, I have not done an extensive test on this and not 100% sure that piercing even works on them. Those jewels and stats were introduced later on and were all meant to be more PvP based. You have to take into consideration how the stats are applied and what affects what. There is a forum post that goes into great detail to explain them. Including formulas, like this.. Reduced Physical Damage = (Physical Damage) * (100 - %VOID) / 100 - DEF It will essentially tell you what your reduced damage is based on your stats and that of the incoming damage. However it does not then take into account the piercing which is also figured like these. Reduced DEF = DEF * (100 - %DEF Pierce) / 100 Reduced %VOID = %VOID * (100 - %VOID Pierce) / 100 Reduced %Chakra Resistance = %Chakra Resistance * (100 - %CH Pierce) / 100 So depending what the starting value of DEF or VOID is on a player or mob and how much you can lower it before the calculations are done to find actual damage applied.

Yes it is the same, what you can also do is when you get the red download button, do not click it but right click and copy the link from there and paste it directly into your browser. This usually helps as it passes it over differently and then the browser does not stupidly block it. But Nostale is not on Vendetta... So if you are trying to get Nostale we do not run that game, it is a different person or entity, or someone spam/scamming... We only run Eden Eternel and Scarlet Blade.

Honestly I do not see Vivi agreeing to add or change anything like this atm anyhow.. Not to hmmm squash your creativity or squash you putting in suggestions entirely. Just things like this I do not think would be all that wise for the server, nor do I think Vivi or Bash would see this that way either.

You need to install the Microsoft Visual Runtimes for 2010, install the x86 32 bit and the 64 bit.

Hmmm interesting but here is the issue I see with this. Currently VGN/AP bikes are 115-120 and 180 once they have been upgraded with Vehicle Keys & enhanced... Bikes are a more premium service and while granted I do see your point of these suggestions. I feel that it would detract too much from players needing or wanting the VGN/AP bikes at all If a 110 were enchantable like a 115-120 then it would be a 170 only 10 less speed and not as much of a jump or big reason to want or need the 180. Perhaps if they were limited to +8 I could see this working more or if they were a straight 140-150 bike with no ability to enchant. Just saying you would be limiting the reason to buy them from the Item Mall or Boxes unless you for sure wanted a certain look or was that worried to get a 180. As far as it would carry them til they could get the 2500 ones well they would have better and would not need them. This would essentially give them for a tiny portion of gold a better bike than what is on Davidson. So with all this said good idea in principle but I think it is asking a little too much at those proposed rates.

Well not sure what you tell you it is a false positive and it is 100% safe.

There is a location up in the top left corner of Dragon Valley with some named Nastral Mystic I think these count towards that quest too, been a while would need to verify though.

LMAO, I have said many times if I weren't a lazy ass and had the money, and personnel to do such that I would re-write SB.... lol or at least a inspired by.

All GS and GM Vivi and I for sure wish we had more ability to make larger scale changes to the game, if we had this the game would not have so many limits as it does now. We could then easily add in and change the premise thus making PvE and PvP changes that would greatly improve both sides to the game. Sadly it is super proprietary in design and it makes changes so much more difficult.

Many things in SB are server side so I am not sure if you could even alter that for your client alone. Plus sorry to say we will be unable to help you with that, as we do not condone making changes to the client side. The risk of corruption is too high, and we would not be responsible for anything on that side, thus we would not help in the process. Sorry to again burst your bubble. Remember SB is not a super high PvE game. it was never really intended as such to be super PvE-based. Game premise was a small story to show the separation of 2 rising factions during and after the war with the Narak. A falling from mother caused each faction to fight one another. IE setup for a PvP game between the factions lol

It is possible to alter the text and storyline, but it is a super lot of work and would not be of a lot of benefit to the over all good or health of the game, thus would be more work than it is worth. We would most likely never take on that venture of altering every quest storyline interaction for this reason.

I run it currently on Windows 11 it is not an issue of the OS. Try finding this file and delete it, (client.version). Re-run your SbLauncher.exe and this will force a full file scan. Just to see if any files are missing or corrupted. Mark SB.Exe for Compatibility Mode Windows 8 or 7 I prefer 8 due to the kernel. Depending on your AV you might wish to mark the entire SB folder as a whitelist exception.

Sadly, this is something we cannot fix or control. The game is not programmed that well, all we can do is add or take away percentages of the items and or class of items ie General, Magic, Rare, or Unique. We cannot somehow make it drop your class based on who enters.

Exactly we are getting too much of an entitlement and instant gratification world. People are getting too wanty, too needy, and too lazy to be completely honest. They do not want to earn anything anymore just to be handed it on a silver platter. This does not help society to have any respect for things or what they have or get, which also leads to them not respecting one another, it is a super vicious cycle. Thank you for addressing that you agree with some things and at least validating my points. Some people would just ignore that means a lot to me. As for newer players I agree some things should be easier but I would not focus my time on TT. It would be in other maps cause like Nemesis and not having anyone there to help them thru certain quests or dungeons etc. TT would be the very last thing I modified given the time to do so and the effort involved. Changes to SB are much much more difficult than most people will ever know. It isn't a quick down and dirty click this and click that. Also still disagree if you make too many of the changes you suggest the dungeon would be a breeze and ppl would skip 90% of it as it is there are ppl who run it in like 15 mins up to 25-30. You would have people doing 5-8 min runs all the time. Nerfing it too much would superbreak the dungeon and its purpose. I do say and have said it needs a "little nerf" or a boost in drop rates at the very least. This is something I have said before, just that I mean a lot smaller of a nerf than you intend.

Visual C++ can be installed for all versions new and old you can have multiple on there You need to 2010 specifically. Yes, it will run in 11 but you do need to run Windows 8 or 7 Compatible. As Vivi said SB.exe is the one you need to mark.

Actually, all levels will drop mech shards just that the lowest will drop 1. However yes it was intended to be an increasingly difficult dungeon for each tier as most all so far there is more or less no challenge to dungeons, it was more a farm for things with no consequence. Removing all stuns and such and doing a lot of what you are suggesting would diminish the value of said items. As it is people will farm Mech Shards and sell for 1k-2k. Making it too easy would make it so those items are worthless like the Slivers Shards and Gems are as of now. Currently, I could give everyone here who has posted 5-6 stacks of every sliver shard and gem and still have plenty for my own uses... I literally have that many stored up in reserve. Mech shards and Unique Jewels and Blueprints and such would be the next on the list to be worthless items for sale/trade. We do appreciate your feedback, but I believe you are asking way too much to make this dungeon a walk-in-the-park type thing. Granted I could see a small, tiny nerf potentially possible and not diminish the experience and value of said items, but to the level it seems you are suggesting that is just far too much of a nerf.

It would be a false positive, if you DL'd from sb.vendettagn.com there is no issue with the program. Just mark the SB.exe and SBLauncher in your whitelist for your AV.
