Bug type: System Prompt

Brief bug summary: Every time I tried to launch Maple, the launcher tried to install Microsoft Visual C++ 2015

More details:

I have the latest Microsoft Visual (i.e. Microsoft Visual C++ 2017), but whenever I tried to launch the game, it requires me to install the 2015 version. When I tried to install, it failed because I already have the latest version. Since that is the case, I tried uninstalling the 2017 version and installed the 2015 version. After that, the annoying prompt is no longer appearing, but whenever I upgraded it back to the 2017 version, the 2015 version is automatically replaced, so the launcher would annoy me to no end regarding the installation.

Steps to reproduce:

1) Install Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 and uninstall every other version, especially Microsoft Visual C++ 2015.
2) Try to launch MapleStory.

kek, sorry to disappoint, but these things will take a really long time for Nexon to fix, since they're not of high priority.

Just like how Android is still not getting latest choices for Royal Face Coupon.

And spamming this thread certainly won't help.

LOL Nexon was like we wanna make it balanced for both people who have drop rate gear and don't have drop rate gear.

This will make it worse for people without drop rate gear I mean you thought node stones were pricey before now that they're more rare to farm it just made this prices go up.

You do know that the increase in price is not due to the lowered drop rate, but because of the absence of hackers and botters right?

I haven't seen any of them recently, except those bots that spam in Free Market.

But like the guy above said, "RnG still plays a role." And there's also the fact that people don't pay as much attention to the drop rate before as compared to after the patch. Did you know about greed detector?

The more you want the item, the harder it will be to find them. It might just be an unfounded jinx, but this jinx is so real that I dare not disbelieve it.

P.S. I don't really pay any attention to the drop rate before the patch, and I still don't really pay as much attention to the drop rate after the patch, and since I don't really pay attention, I don't really notice anything.
