[Possible Solutions] MapleStory Not Launching

Once again, I'm unable to launch Maplestory.
After seeing the abundance of threads regarding the Game Launcher failing, I've decided to take it upon myself and look for a proper solution the problem since there isn't a proper thread for this.

Solution #0
1. Restart you computer.

Solution #1
1. Uninstall
2. Reinstall the game.

Solution #2
1. Repair /Installation.
If that doesn't work
2. Disable "Enable automatic updates".
3. Run the repair installation once more.

Solution #3
1. Windows Key + R
2. Type in "Regedit" without the quotes. Click OK.
3. Computer > HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE >SOFTWARE >WOW6432Node > Wizet >MapleStory
4. Find soScreenMode and change number from 0 (or whatever value it is on) to 3.
Alternative:
If you can't find it in the folder, make a new one.
5. Right click on the folder. New > DWORD 32bit
6. Type in soScreenMode and change number from 0 to 3.

Solution #4
1. Refer to Solution #3 Step 1 and 2.
2. HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Microsoft > Windows NT > CurrentVersion > AppCompatFlags > Layers
3. Find the file that contains the Maplestory.exe path and delete "$~ IgnoreFreeLibrary<nmconew.dll>". The dll can vary.
Optional:
4. Type in value data: ~ RUNASADMIN HIGHDPIAWARE

Solution #5
1. Go to your games install folder. If you chose the default settings when installing that's going to be C:\Nexon\Library or press the little gear icon in the Launcher to bring up the game settings and click the "Open game location link"
2. Go the games folder
3. Rename the maplestory folder something else like maplestory1
4. Press Play on the launcher
5. The launcher should no longer see the game and begin to redownload the game. Press cancel, not pause.
6. Open the game settings in the launcher and click uninstall
7. If you kept the file explorer window open go back to it and change the name of the game install folder to something else like Games1
8. Now open the Nexon launcher settings by clicking the arrow next to your profile picture.
9. Scroll down to "Game installation location"
10. Click on "Change Folder"
11. Select your newly renamed games folder. You will probably see an empty folder with the old name, this was created by the launcher, and you can delete it later.
12. Go back to the maplestory folder and rename it back to just maplestory
13. Press download on the Nexon launcher, it should verify that everything is in its proper place and switch to a "Play" button again
14. Press play and if everything worked all the pathways will have been reassociated in the launcher and allow your to play again.

Solution #6
1. Instead of clicking on Nexon Game Launcher
2. Type Maplestory (Desktop App) in search bar
3. Run as administrator, this will launch the game automatically without having to click the 'Play' button
or
4. Open file location > Compatibility > Run this program as administrator
If that doesn't work
5. Under properties check to see Target: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Nexon\Nexon Launcher\nexon_launcher.exe" nxl://launch/10100"
and Start in: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Nexon\Nexon Launcher" if not change it to that but without the quotes.

Solution #7
1. Type CMD.exe in search bar.
2. Right click CMD and run as Administrator.
3. Type in "ipconfig/flushdns" without the quotes and hit enter.
4. Next type "netsh winsock reset" without the quotes and hit enter.
Afterwards you will need to restart computer.

Solution #8
1. Go to Control Panel > System and Security > Windows Defender Firewall > Allowed Apps
2. Click change settings
3. Allow MapleStory to communicate through firewall
If this doesn't work
4. Click Allow another app, the path is usually "C:\Nexon\Library\maplestory\appdata" without the quotes
5. Repeat again with your anti-virus program

Solution #9
1. Press CTRL+Alt+Del.
2. Click on Task Manager
3. Click on more details.
4. Scroll down in background processes.
5. Look for Nexon Launcher (32 bit).
6. Right click it and click on "End Process".
If there is more than one, click on "End Process" for all of them. Wait a few seconds.

Solution #10
Skip step 1-3 if you already have a steam account.
1. Go to: http://store.steampowered.com/
2. In the top right corner, hit “install steam”
3. While it’s loading, create a steam account here: https://store.steampowered.com/join/
4. Now open up file explorer and go to “C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam”
5. Create a new folder and call it “Steamapps”.
6. Create a new folder in Steamapps and call it “Common”.
7. Then go to “C:\Nexon”
8. Copy the “MapleStory” folder and paste it in “C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steamapps\Common”
9. Launch Steam and go to “Library”
10. In the bottom left corner, click “Add A Game”
11. Click on MapleStory and then Add it.
12. Right click MapleStory (in your taskbar) and click “Properties”
13. Change the Target to this: “C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steamapps\Common\MapleStory\nxsteam.exe”
14. Now just launch MapleStory from your taskbar. It requires you are logged into Steam. You can only link one Nexon account to one Steam account so if you wanna switch Maple accounts, relog via Steam.

The success rate of getting the game to start for me is still quite low, but sometimes (not always) it works after 3-7 attempts of fiddling around. If I'm lucky, after restarting, solution #6 works straight away. After repair/reinstalling/updates soScreenMode sometimes reverts back to 1, so changing that back sometimes works too.
I hope this helps, if you know of any other solutions let us know down in the comments. :)


Best of luck everyone~

    great list! i personally went through hell to get it to work. Turns out that it was due to my display settings (being a newer computer and all), i wasnt able to start maplestory in fullscreen mode. Solution 3 worked for me. Altough it was a bit annoying to do so ;)
    Just wanted to upvote the list.

    I don't know what else to do. The game was working perfectly up until yesterday. I played for a few hours, logged out to log in with a different account and couldn't because the game wouldn't launch. I gave up trying and now I'm still unable to play, because the game simply won't launch. I've tried all the solutions, and nothing works. The launcher opens, I play PLAY, it says "currently in-game" and nothing happens. If I check the Task Admin, there's a MapleStory.exe process running, but nothing happens, the game won't open. I tried restarting my computer, and nothing. Nothing works, and I don't understand why. It was all fine until yesterday! T_T

    Anyone have any idea why it was working fine and then it stopped working? T_T

    Thank you.

    Solution #5 seems very confusing, like when I click download after making the install location inside the games folder, it just downloads the entire thing, and it created another MapleStory file, I'm not sure if I'm doing this correctly.

    Anyone know how to make it so that soscreenmode doesnt change the value? My laptop keeps modifying it and it prevents me from gettnig any further than the firewall because maple.exe forces closes.

    I may have another solution i randomly found on reddit, user ZIRUpk suggested u might have to manually look up and redownload a .dll

    In this case it was libcef.dll that had to be redownloaded and replaced, this was the only thing that worked for me out of ALL the things ive tried :<

    I dont know if i can post links here, but if i can, please let me know

    When I change from 0 to 3 (in solution 3), immediately upon starting the game, the value changes again to 0, I don't know what to do, I want to play, please help! Does this problem have a lot of time? Do you plan to correct this error?

    Mine worked fine and then I moved it to a flash drive to speed up load time and make room in my storage drive.

    The game tried to download even though it had a complete copy. I stopped that, tried to get it to verify the files, then the launcher stopped working.

    Now the launcher refuses to open. The game refuses to open. The game exe opens a browser window telling me to install the client and game. It's a mess.

    Now nothing works. I think I have to do a complete registry clean by manually tracking down every copy of nexon launcher and destroying it. I have restarted many times, reinstalled many times (even reinstalled MS on a 1.5mb dl connection twice) and even Steam cannot get it to work. I moved everything back the way it was, did rename stuff, nothing works.

    WHatever Nexon did to their launcher has pretty much wrecked the non-hacker's day. The hackers are still depleting Burning Zones quickly though with their Tubi hacks and Mapkill hacks. Nothing stops them and I don't know why they do this so often on Reboot. Yesterday on Reboot I was doing a Daily and saw more than 70 unique characters pop in then immediately out at "obvious hacker load in locations" on the map (nowhere near the default locations). I was on the map for about 20 minutes. It was near Haven.

    I think using an algorithm to look for kill rate and xp/drop pickup rate server side to alert GMs for investigation is the only solution here. As for the client not working... I used to do IT work and even I am frustrated with no success. Like I said, time to purge my rig of all traces of Nexon. We'll see what happens.

    The only log file entry was for the launcher being unable to find a file that was obviously there. The hash file.

    Oh, the only error I got was this one:
    XJMndMh

    Note: I am on a VPN due to having extremely sensitive data on my PC. The VPN for all network connections is non-negotiable and I do not have another machine. I do not have room for a Virtual Machine presently, thus trying to move the game around. My firewall is not an issue but if your servers don't like VPNs then that's part of why.

    Update: Purged using Regedit, cleaned the drives up, ran CCleaner twice, this error seems to be causing most of the trouble: [2019-09-08 22:03:38,485:WARNING: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'F:\\Nexon Launcher\\patch\\10000.manifest.hash']

    The file certainly exists but I am not about to decompile your stuff and mess with it. I have no idea what kind of encryption you have on it anyway.

    Now we have this error "right out of the box" as it were. A bit of egg on the face of the dev polishing team...
    cwyV3Nn
    I did put it right back on the flash drive though. That was the goal in the interim of moving the files.

    Visual Studio is NOT INSTALLED. The program is attempting to directly access/reference a nonexistent file in a nonexistent directory.

    I'm downloading a large file right now into my sensitive data drive. Resetting the connection (purge the cache/dns/etc) has to wait. I'll do that when I can.

    I have yet to see the Nexon Launcher appear in my System Tray even once.

    Presently I cannot install Maplestory with the launcher due to the Nexon Launcher being so buggy. Third MapleStory reinstall is proceeding now on a wiped drive portion via Steam (2nd Steam attempt). The download will run overnight.

    Nothing works.
    The storage drives I use now can never run Maplestory again due to whatever Nexon did to their background file operations.

    We need a Nexon Registry Cleaner and Complete Uninstaller. Nothing can be done to make the Nexon Launcher connect to the server ever again or make Maplestory ever open again. No form of login works. Nothing works. Steam, the Launcher, manual start... nothing works.

    So far I've tried every solution I could find here and there and I discovered that when I go to the "apps and features" window, I didn't see the game there, which it was before. I then reinstall everything but the problem is still the same. Whenever I click the 'play' the Nexon security logo will show and then disappear, but after that nothing happens. Some of my co-workers suggest me to get a new laptop, but I don''t see the necessity in that. But please I really want to play this game again.
