    This is a performance improvement patch that fixes disconnecting (GFX-ing) at Cake, Zakum, Horntail, when a lot of things are going on, etc. If you do not face any disconnect issues you are not required to get this patch yet until a new one gets released at anniversary end

    This does NOT fix disconnecting while CCing, exiting the Cash Shop, etc and is something we are still working on to fix!

    Dear Maplers,

    After testing the new prototype client for past week with numerous users that signed up we are very happy to announce the results are very positive. As such, we believe the GFX (black screen) during bossing/cake is fixed for about 95% if not everyone resolved (Windows), or at least incredible heavily improved (MAC), that you either have to GFX zero times through the whole run (Zak/Horntail), or a few times if you are a MAC user or a Windows user that does not have many ram/memory available

    As such, we are happy to release the client now to public, which would mean one of the most annoying aspects of pre-big bang (GFXING while bossing, getting a VMware XP setup just for bossing) is pretty much resolved and done for.

    Changes and updates:
    -Completely remove the .wz format and have .img files inside a DATA folder
    -Fixing GFX/Black screen while bossing for 95%~ of the users on Windows
    -Heavily improve GFX/Black screen while bossing for MAC users (MAC users were able to handle a complete zak run!)
    -Minor text fixes

    Early state:
    - LiliLili is still looking behind scene if she can improve the client even more!

    Credits:
    Special thanks to anonymous KMS friend that reverse engineered the GMS client functions to re-enable .img support last year
    Thanks to LiliLili who recently managed to find the last clue why the client didn't boot by debugging the client
    All the prototype testers! Thank you so much for the testing :heart::heart::heart:

    Download the new client (full installer):

    *The date on MAC drive is a typo and will be corrected soon

    While the client is public now, we are still open to receive feedback! If you know how much you DC at Cake/Zakum/Horntail and want leave your feedback on the new client, feel free to do so: Click

    Enjoy and thank you for playing MapleLegends :heart:

    To get back to this, it seems to only be an issue on all my Windows 10 machines while my older Vista PC runs the new client completely flawless.

    For people that notice more lag/loading when there's a lot of sprites, can they tell me their OS and 32/64 bit?

    After some testing, the new client seems to work a lot better on an SSD.

    I've tested on a slow HDD, Hybrid Drive, and a SSD.

    I'm also using Windows 10, Nividia GTX 1060, 16GB RAM

I mean if iam once bored of grinding at snails i can exchange their picture with coke snails or something like this? XD I mean i dont want to risk an autoban message like " got autobanned for exchanging snail sprites" XD

    Yes, we allow cosmetic edits, which are edits that are purely visual and do not affect the game play or give you an unfair advantage.

    That's a known server side issue, it has nothing to do with the client.
