Maplestory stopped working after patch? Try this.

The other day, I downloaded the patch for Maplestory and was excited to sign in. Little did I expect that when I would click any shortcut or try to open GameLauncher.exe from the Maplestory folder, than nothing would happen.

I actually had the same thing happen before and I’m pretty sure I couldn’t find the solution so I stopped playing and uninstalled it for a while. I randomly re-installed it to find that it worked a couple months later.

The problem, it seems, is that Maplestory is now Windows 7 compliant. This is actually a good thing but your game won’t launch if you’ve been running it in Compatibility Mode, which you needed to before. If the game doesn’t launch after a patch, try this:

1. Open the Maplestory folder on your computer. For me, it’s located here: C:\Nexon\MapleStory
2. Right-click GameLauncher and select Properties.
3. Click the Compatibility tab and uncheck “Run this in compatibility mode for.” Make sure “Run as Administrator” is checked.
4. Click “Ok”.
5. Repeat the process for Maplestory.exe if you have been running that in Compatibility Mode.
6. Relaunch your game.
7. Give me all your mesos.

I Can’t Wait Until I’m 70

Level 70 that is. I know no one will care but my newest MapleStory character is really leveling quickly. It almost makes me angry, how easy the game is compared to when I started playing. Still, it makes it fun and this is the only character that I could realistically get to level 70 to make a job advancement and it’s exciting for me.

Wish me luck.

Imagine This

So, I sign onto Maplestory, excited to see all the changes. There was a massive update last night that lasted over 9 hours which ended all the November/Turkey Day quests and brought in a bunch of new events. All of the related items for the old quests expired, as is expected. Included in this was a belt my character was wearing which raised her stats enough to be able to wear her armour and weapon. Those items became deactivated. At first, I just noticed the armour and figured, no big deal. I could run around naked for a bit until I leveled. A little nudity never hurt anyone, right?

But then I realize that my weapon is no longer active and I have one on another character but because I’ve just started a quest which requires me to stay logged in for at least an hour, I cannot fetch it. So, now I am naked and weaponless waiting for the quest to finish so I can remedy at least one of those problems. Boo.
