I hadn’t been able to play maple story for months, the game would not start after pressing the play button.
It looks like Windows Defender sees the Nexon Game Security function as a threat and removes some of the files because they are a “threat” to your PC. Without these files you cannot play MS.
First you need to turn off Windows Defender completely.
Then uninstall Maple Story. It won’t work because of those missing files.
Redownload Maple Story and install.
DO NOT turn on Windows Defender back on lol
Now press play and if that was your issue it will work.
