I downloaded it but it's not prompting me about importing my nexon file from the storage device or computer into the nexon launcher library.

    You will have to download the complete game again. There should be an MapleStory icon on the top left, which will direct you to where it offers to download the game. At least, that was what I had to do. I have been using the gamelauncher and had the game already installed. Nonetheless I needed to re-download it.

    Did you, by any chance, have Maple stored on a secondary hard drive or a flash drive?

    It should be possible to just move the game files into the folder located at C:\Nexon\Library\maplestory\appdata, I think that's all the import is doing. You don't need to download the whole game again.

    Thanks, just understood now that I do have to have the game files in the hard drive of the computer for the nexon launcher to read them. Cant play from a storage device anymore.

    Nexon always reminds me of a a joke that has been around since the '80's. Specifically the line "'Mandatory defaults' has a nice ring to it." (Google it).
    Who, in this day and age, writes programs that only work if they're installed on the C: drive?
    Or that pop up a html page always in Internet Explorer?
    Or a game where you can set your preferred NPC chat key - but the new dialogs completely disregard it?
    Yup, Nexon.
    Is it a wonder their game won't run properly on computers that don't have the exact same hardware and ping to the servers as their testers'?

    The instruction page itself is scanning an E drive:

    Many programs tend to have a problem with secondary hard drives.

    You can adjust the launcher's file location in the settings. Click on the drop-down arrow next to your profile and select "Settings", then scroll to "Games installation location" and set it to the path of your choice.

    Copy the Maplestory game files themselves (the content of the folder) into the appdata folder.

    You had it correct, it's just weird that it doesn't detect the files. I suggest the following:
    • Cancel the download
    • Delete the files located in C:\Nexon\Library\maplestory\patchdata
    • Completely exit the launcher, and perform a full shutdown, restart
    • Start the launcher, select the gear icon, and then select "repair installation"

    Some of these may be unecessary or extra, but better safe then sorry.

    That might help. I'm not sure what might be happening specifically, the instructions I gave typically work in most cases.
    Worst case scenario you might have to complete the redownload. It wouldn't be ideal, but it would work.

    the problem is that:
    game worked fine and i dont need nexon launcher but i heard reward and some things that they will remove game launcher so i will have to get nexon launcher
    got a bit slow net and game its hugeeeeeeeee 9.7gb
    no idea why nexon force us when it works fine ;((((((((((

    Try just clicking the c file and nexon / maplestory for the import, not the app data file. I have my game on a ssd and installed in it, i have nexon launcher in there too, no problems with it. If that doesnt work just try c file and nexon, same thing the moderator said to do, but i have it just like that

    Another thing is make sure there arent two nexon files in your c drive, the one time i had it like that it didnt import it, when you start a download it creates a nexon folder in the c drive, if you already had maplestory nexon file, the launcher tries to import the recently created one, if you have two, delete the empty one and try again.
