Hi, after the update to v192, maplestory won't run or start up from the Nexon Launcher anymore. I tried everything like repair install or the SoScreenMode thing and it still does not work.

    One of the patch files from yesterday's patch is unfortunately detected as a virus and blocked by several anti-virus programs (for example Bitdefender).

    Unfortunately you have to add maplestory as exception (in firewall and file protection) to be able to play again, if you have the same issue.

    It depends on the antivirus program used, each has its own menu structure

    I assume that the patch file is not a virus, but some anti-virus programs just thinks it could be one. Whyever ...

    im having the same issue; after clicking play on Steam, i'll see the normal NGS message in the bottom-right corner, and then it'll give me the classic "cannot connect for 1 of 3 reasons: maintenance, banned ip, or poor connection."

    i've already tried re-downloading the game, repairing the game's files (verify game files on steam), and restarting my pc, but nothing has worked.

    its worth mentioning that it works perfectly fine through Nexon Launcher, so is the issue coming from Steam? regardless if Steam is the issue, there's definitely something wrong with the latest patch.
