  • Consider Linux/Steam Deck Support for MapleStory

    xHGSxxHGSx
    With the rise of Linux gaming—largely thanks to the Steam Deck—and Windows 10 support ending in October 2025, many of us are looking for alternatives to Windows 11 due to its performance issues and hardware restrictions.

    MapleStory currently doesn't run on Linux due to GameGuard. Only real option to play on the Deck natively is to install Windows or a VM, or a steaming service like Geforce Now which is a pain subscription

    Other major MMOs like FFXIV, Guild Wars 2, and RuneScape now work well on Linux or Steam Deck (many through Proton). Even legacy games like WoW and SWTOR are playable.

    There's a growing demand for Nexon to support Linux, or at least allow Proton compatibility by updating or replacing GameGuard. It would future-proof the game and let more players enjoy MapleStory without being locked into a single OS.
