Bugs and quirks of the 2004 client
2026-9-30
Hard runs the client of October 2004 exactly as it was. What follows was already there in 2004: it lives inside the client, so it cannot be fixed from the server and we leave it as it is.
Bugs of the client
Things that are plainly broken in the 2004 client.
- Fury without effect
- The warrior who casts Fury does not see its effect on himself; the players around him do.
- Fifth warrior armour
- The fifth warrior armour is drawn like the fourth.
- Metin stones
- The Metin stones use a generic animation instead of their own.
- Refined weapons
- Refined weapons do not sparkle, whatever their grade.
- One skill, two names
- A skill is called 碎魂指 in the skill list and 碎灵指 in the name of its first grade.
- Icons that do not show
- Eight items have their icon among the client files but point to it wrongly, and 91 items, 70 shields among them, have no icon at all.
- «Enum & Detect failed»
- On modern computers the game may stop at start with this error. The launcher takes care of it: start the game from Prime-Yitian2.exe.
Left unfinished in 2004
Things that the client already shows but that were not ready yet.
- Guild skills in Korean
- The twelve guild skills are in the Chinese client with their names and descriptions still in Korean.
- Expressions
- The character window has an Expressions tab, but its button is switched off and the page behind it is an empty placeholder in Korean.
- Fury bar
- The help window points to a fury gauge and adds, in its own words, «not open yet» (未开放).
- Auction house
- The files of an auction window are in the client, but the game never creates that window.
- Guild base
- The guild window draws a page for a base with buildings and resources, and the client lists the guild buildings without having their models.
- Items with empty values
- 56 entries of the item lists, 21 weapons among them, still have all their values at zero.
- Items without words
- Four items have no name, only a number, and one item description is still in Korean.
- Options
- The options window has two sliders and nothing else: music volume and sound volume.
Quirks
Not broken and not unfinished: simply how the game was in 2004.
- Monsters speak in the chat
- What the monsters say appears in the chat window too, among the lines of the players.
- Stones without monsters
- The Metin stones call no monsters when you hit them: in the data of October 2004 they have no group of monsters. The groups appear in the client of 2005.
- No horse
- There is no horse in the 2004 client: no key, no window, no skill.
- No combat mode
- There is no combat mode to choose and no alignment rank under the name.
- Fixed starting attributes
- Each class starts with fixed attributes: when you create a character there are no free points to spend.
- Twin names
- 21 items carry the same name as another item.
- Skill masters
- The skill masters have no model of their own: they look like guards.
- Deleting a character
- To delete a character the client asks for the last seven digits of an identity card, as on the Chinese servers of 2004.
- Screenshots
- Print Screen saves the picture in a folder called METIN2.
- Borrowed icons
- Nine items borrow the icon of another item and four use a quest icon.
- Start from Prime-Yitian2.exe
- Metin2.exe is the updater of 2004 and looks for a server that no longer exists.
