I've tried every solution I can think of and I'm still at square one.
I'm running Windows 7, clean install. Updated all the necessary .NET, and VC++, DirectX, and drivers.
I've tried using the Steam launcher but the problem persists.
No current antivirus installed. Firewall exception already created.
Have already edited SoScreenMode.
Tried the solutions by kennyabsilli and yashua here forums.maplestory.nexon.net/discussion/12170/blank-error-message/p3.
A "full shutdown" by creating a shortcut.
Run in Selective Startup.
Even the official Nexon Support "exhausted all of their trouble shooting steps" and closed my ticket.

Please, if anyone can help I would very much appreciate it!!


Side note, but also possibly relevant: I get this blank banner every time I open the Nexon Launcher: SWmPUI0.png. It overlays on every window and the desktop and won't go away unless I open the Launcher Settings and tick the "Don't show dismissed 'What's New' Pop-ups" box. However, that setting doesn't actually save and it resets every time I close the launcher. Not only that, but every time I bring up the settings before I close the launcher, it brings that banner up again. Any help for that would also be greatly appreciated!
