Windows XP/Vista/7 maplelegends on a cheap ultrabook

Are you trying to use that laptop's screen or is it connected to a different screen?
WIth that error, it's usually one of these things-
Graphics driver issue.
DirextX issue. But I'm not sure which DirectX version Legends likes. Someone else know?

 

Those specs are fine for ML.

Seems like this has been popping up quite a lot lately for people, though. The usual check list is:

-Test both fullscreen and windowed mode; fullscreen is a lot more likely to fail

-Make sure GPU drivers are up to date

-Change the desktop resolution and try again

-See if the same issue occurs with Legends+ - there seems to be some systems that don't handle DirectX8 very well any more, so running on DirectX9 might resolve it

If all else fails, with Legends+ installed, tick '640x480' compatibility on MapleLegends' properties, then drag-resize the window after it boots. The only reason you need Legends+ for this bit is because Maple otherwise ignores the 640x480/DPI compatibility settings. It's not the best method, but it seems to be working at the moment for the few other people that have had this.

Let me know if any of them help; I'm trying to figure out what causes this for people, since it happens so rarely now!
