    Unable to mine or digging up herb (in addition to this entire list of bugs here http://forums.maplestory.nexon.net/discussion/151/memory-dll-corruption/p1) is caused by your computer being on for more than 24 days without doing a full shutdown.

    To do a full shutdown, follow this instruction https://www.howtogeek.com/129021/how-to-do-a-full-shutdown-in-windows-8-without-disabling-hybrid-boot/ (same process for window 10).
    (only a full shutdown will reset the day count, normal restart and normal shutdown will not reset the day count due to window 8/10 hybrid boot saving the day count and allowing the bugs to persist until something else fully shut down your computer without saving the memory).

    Hi Rexaar,

    Thank you for reviewing my post and poll.

    While many folks leave there systems on, I shut mine down every night and do a clean boot every day so I do appreciate your feedback, but not readily applicable to my situation. do you have any other suggestion for a Win8.1 system with all the latest MS updates installed and no other competing games on it.

    I am a tech geek so can try to quantify the issue if you have suggested tools.

    Hi ruolav, if you're a tech geek then you can read the howtogeek article that Rexaar linked, to understand the difference between shutting your computer down and doing a full shutdown.

    You must do a FULL SHUTDOWN https://www.howtogeek.com/129021/how-to-do-a-full-shutdown-in-windows-8-without-disabling-hybrid-boot/ , it is completely different from normal shutdown (pressing the power button on the desktop/laptop, using the shutdown button from the window start menu)

    Window 8/10 save a copy of everything currently in the RAM (within the RAM is a variable that is making Maple Story buggy) when you normal shutdown. If you normal shutdown your computer, a feature called hybrid boot in window 8/10 will load the copy of the RAM with the offending variable which will continue to cause Maple Story to be in a constant buggy state. Full shutdown forces window to boot up without touching the RAM that it had backed up, which will fix all the bugs you are experiencing.

    If you do not understand the difference, google how to turn off hybrid boot or fast start up and restart your computer.
