  • Screen resolution problem

    I use a Surface Book 2 15" (Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060) and whenever I am in full screen mode, the resolution is very blurry even with graphics set on highest settings.

  • [Possible Solutions] MapleStory Not Launching

    Once again, I'm unable to launch Maplestory.
    After seeing the abundance of threads regarding the Game Launcher failing, I've decided to take it upon myself and look for a proper solution the problem since there isn't a proper thread for this.

    Solution #0
    1. Restart you computer.

    Solution #1
    1. Uninstall
    2. Reinstall the game.

    Solution #2
    1. Repair /Installation.
    If that doesn't work
    2. Disable "Enable automatic updates".
    3. Run the repair installation once more.

    Solution #3
    1. Windows Key + R
    2. Type in "Regedit" without the quotes. Click OK.
    3. Computer > HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE >SOFTWARE >WOW6432Node > Wizet >MapleStory
    4. Find soScreenMode and change number from 0 (or whatever value it is on) to 3.
    Alternative:
    If you can't find it in the folder, make a new one.
    5. Right click on the folder. New > DWORD 32bit
    6. Type in soScreenMode and change number from 0 to 3.

    Solution #4
    1. Refer to Solution #3 Step 1 and 2.
    2. HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Microsoft > Windows NT > CurrentVersion > AppCompatFlags > Layers
    3. Find the file that contains the Maplestory.exe path and delete "$~ IgnoreFreeLibrary<nmconew.dll>". The dll can vary.
    Optional:
    4. Type in value data: ~ RUNASADMIN HIGHDPIAWARE

    Solution #5
    1. Go to your games install folder. If you chose the default settings when installing that's going to be C:\Nexon\Library or press the little gear icon in the Launcher to bring up the game settings and click the "Open game location link"
    2. Go the games folder
    3. Rename the maplestory folder something else like maplestory1
    4. Press Play on the launcher
    5. The launcher should no longer see the game and begin to redownload the game. Press cancel, not pause.
    6. Open the game settings in the launcher and click uninstall
    7. If you kept the file explorer window open go back to it and change the name of the game install folder to something else like Games1
    8. Now open the Nexon launcher settings by clicking the arrow next to your profile picture.
    9. Scroll down to "Game installation location"
    10. Click on "Change Folder"
    11. Select your newly renamed games folder. You will probably see an empty folder with the old name, this was created by the launcher, and you can delete it later.
    12. Go back to the maplestory folder and rename it back to just maplestory
    13. Press download on the Nexon launcher, it should verify that everything is in its proper place and switch to a "Play" button again
    14. Press play and if everything worked all the pathways will have been reassociated in the launcher and allow your to play again.

    Solution #6
    1. Instead of clicking on Nexon Game Launcher
    2. Type Maplestory (Desktop App) in search bar
    3. Run as administrator, this will launch the game automatically without having to click the 'Play' button
    or
    4. Open file location > Compatibility > Run this program as administrator
    If that doesn't work
    5. Under properties check to see Target: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Nexon\Nexon Launcher\nexon_launcher.exe" nxl://launch/10100"
    and Start in: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Nexon\Nexon Launcher" if not change it to that but without the quotes.

    Solution #7
    1. Type CMD.exe in search bar.
    2. Right click CMD and run as Administrator.
    3. Type in "ipconfig/flushdns" without the quotes and hit enter.
    4. Next type "netsh winsock reset" without the quotes and hit enter.
    Afterwards you will need to restart computer.

    Solution #8
    1. Go to Control Panel > System and Security > Windows Defender Firewall > Allowed Apps
    2. Click change settings
    3. Allow MapleStory to communicate through firewall
    If this doesn't work
    4. Click Allow another app, the path is usually "C:\Nexon\Library\maplestory\appdata" without the quotes
    5. Repeat again with your anti-virus program

    Solution #9
    1. Press CTRL+Alt+Del.
    2. Click on Task Manager
    3. Click on more details.
    4. Scroll down in background processes.
    5. Look for Nexon Launcher (32 bit).
    6. Right click it and click on "End Process".
    If there is more than one, click on "End Process" for all of them. Wait a few seconds.

    Solution #10
    Skip step 1-3 if you already have a steam account.
    1. Go to: http://store.steampowered.com/
    2. In the top right corner, hit “install steam”
    3. While it’s loading, create a steam account here: https://store.steampowered.com/join/
    4. Now open up file explorer and go to “C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam”
    5. Create a new folder and call it “Steamapps”.
    6. Create a new folder in Steamapps and call it “Common”.
    7. Then go to “C:\Nexon”
    8. Copy the “MapleStory” folder and paste it in “C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steamapps\Common”
    9. Launch Steam and go to “Library”
    10. In the bottom left corner, click “Add A Game”
    11. Click on MapleStory and then Add it.
    12. Right click MapleStory (in your taskbar) and click “Properties”
    13. Change the Target to this: “C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steamapps\Common\MapleStory\nxsteam.exe”
    14. Now just launch MapleStory from your taskbar. It requires you are logged into Steam. You can only link one Nexon account to one Steam account so if you wanna switch Maple accounts, relog via Steam.

    The success rate of getting the game to start for me is still quite low, but sometimes (not always) it works after 3-7 attempts of fiddling around. If I'm lucky, after restarting, solution #6 works straight away. After repair/reinstalling/updates soScreenMode sometimes reverts back to 1, so changing that back sometimes works too.
    I hope this helps, if you know of any other solutions let us know down in the comments. :)


    Best of luck everyone~

  • *NEW* Cash Shop Suggestions Thread

    With the upcoming Fox Valley themed dungeon update, I was thinking how cute would it be if we could get the same royal hair and NX cape (tail) as Sino. An NX dress would be incredible.

    Maru as well! NX versions of the leaf on his head and his green cape.
    maru.png?w=196&h=196&crop=1

    Or even a pet version of the Fox God?
    imgfox-god.gif?w=96&h=96&crop=1

    Or pet versions of Cloud Guardian, Wind Guardian, Sky Guardian.

  • What is Your Main and Why Do You Play It?

    Xenon.
    Personally, I would never even consider the idea of changing my main.
    Been looking forward to this job ever since it was released and I can say, I'm still impressed to this day. I could probably write a whole essay on why it will always be my favourite.
    • The idea of all stats, minus INT. Saves you from many re-cubing attempts. But unfortunately, you're going to have to settle for best STR, DEX, LUK as all stats is very difficult to roll.
    • Modal Shift is really intuitive. One express key to switch from a training skill to a bossing skill when using Mecha Purge.
    • Entangling Lash, a binding skill, very useful to have as some jobs do not have bind.
    • Aegis System and Pinpoint Salvo, fun to see random projectiles shooting at monsters.
    • Promessa Escape is like a free teleport rock but with a CD of 10mins, not a bad trade off.
    • Great mobility, we've got Diagonal Chase and triple jump, quad jump is possible too if you know how to use Combat Switch: Fission skill just after the last jump. Mind blowing height.
    • Beam Dance is a great training skill. It was better when the skill didn't have a time limit, but still it's cuts through all close ranged monsters easily.
    • Hypogram: Force Field, just to deal that extra bit of damage. It's like a game of bouncy balls. But deadly.
    • Omega Blaster, really nice bossing skill, not to mention it's such an overwhelming energy beam to look at. Blinding sometimes too.
    • Orbital Cataclysm. Hits 15. Decent at mobbing. But in my opinion it's aka Zakum's and Horntail's nemesis. CD is 1 minute.
    • Core Overload increases final damage by 1% per surplus energy.
    • Amazing link skill. Hybrid Logic. 10% all stats at Lv 2.
    • I major in medical radiation. I love all things chemistry and physics related. I just love the real life purpose of Xenon too, used in many light sources and it produces a beautiful blue glow when excited by an electrical discharge.
    • The perfect job for Rei (from Evangelion). Just look at those Liberty Boosters.
