As per the Familiar update memo, the maintenances have included something to block malicious activity that has been occurring to cause the crashes and d/cs.
I appreciate that Nexon has acknowledged the issue, at the very least, showing us that it's being worked on.
We need an overhaul on how hack program booting happens.
Following the maintenance today, I have been booted several times with such messages. I wouldn't dream of using such programs; if anything, it would be that the gameguard is detecting my window of Google Chrome running Youtube and my instance of Discord as hacking programs, but the disconnections don't stop even after I stop these programs through the control panel.
I get that staff may have been reduced for the lockdown. I would prefer having one long and productive maintenance over several maintenance periods with little to no change, which has been whittling away at the morale of players who expect significant differences to result from what should be fixing the problems at hand.
I've had a progressive increase in disconnection issues since my return, which started as a minor inconvenience, and is now making its way beyond making Maplestory unplayable. As of the last maintenance, I have had a series of disconnections with as little as a minute in between disconnections.
With how long it takes to meet daily objectives with the ongoing event, as well as daily quests, the frequency of disconnections and crashes we're collectively experiencing is unacceptable; playing games has been a major aspect of structure in my life since the lock-down for the pandemic began, and these issues are getting to be exasperating.
It would be much appreciated if these issues were resolved posthaste.
