the change was done to force people to use runes more in general and also force the use of the less desired runes. it had nothing to do with bots, as bots have had a way to bypass this for a long long time.
much like how the flying mob with the debuff was released to deal with a problem of afk map hoggers in KMS and had nothing to do with trying to take down afk botters or keyweighters in GMS, this change was to deal with people not using runes if they were of a less desired rune.
Jw, can't remember from when runes first came out (Elite Bosses patch way back when I think), but wasn't the purpose of runes suppose to help people farm and get bonus exp to balance out the thing with elite mobs spawning? If that's the case shouldn't the solution to "less desired runes" be to have changed the effect of those runes instead of forcing people to use them?
Not saying it was your idea to start out with, but doesn't seem really logically in my pov (given, Nexon has done a lot of odd/stupid things to try solving problem, so hey, who knows though. o.O). (less)
I won't post link because I think the site where it originally was posted supports hacking activity, but here was the solution:
This error occurs shortly after launching the client and can be caused by a compatibility registry key for a library maplestory loads. It is fixed by removing the registry key.
The registry key is located at "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers", and contains a value with the name consisting of the path to your maplestory.exe, and the Data being something similar to "$~ IgnoreFreeLibrary<nmconew.dll>". The dll can vary. Deleting the value fixes the issue.
Thank you! Solution worked for me!
Any idea what causes this problem though? (less)
Better off putting something like this in Bug Report, even for audience. Not sure if it might be related, but my Nexon Launcher spammed "Launcher Update, restart now" for awhile yesterday (… (more)July 26) so that might have had something to do with it? (less)
