Can't launch the game on Steam

I'm just another person who can't play the game, wants to, but keeps getting a white, frozen maplestory window on launch.

I've tried everything here http://forums.maplestory.nexon.net/discussion/21466/possible-solutions-maplestory-not-launching but nothing seems to work in a concrete manner. Over the past week, I did manage to play the game maybe 3 or 4 times, but it took a long time and by doing random things from the link above to get it to work those times.

Today however, nothings working and I've tried for about 8 hours on and off now (pretty 'great' way to spend a weekend /s). And as someone who tried to get back into the game for years now, I remember this still being a problem years back, and googling for answers has shown me that I'm very much not alone with this problem.

My question is, why is there no fix for this? I know the games old, but I hope to god that it's seriously not running on Windows XP servers/code or some sort of nightmare web of code using cascades of if statements only relevant on older hardware. Please someone tell me that there is in fact an 11th solution to this problem that works 100% of the time so I can play the game again.

    Maybe ask Nexon to unlink your account from steam and attach an new email to the account so you can play through regular nexon launcher instead ? I did this when still played MS2 and had issues seen the promo from Premium Twitch and could not receive it due to have used a Steam Account to play Maple .
