Unable to connect to MapleLegends

Basically, whenever I launch MapleLegends.exe (under proper compatibility and admin settings), I get this error:



The weird thing is, it sometimes runs properly. If I do a full uninstall and reinstall, it will SOMETIMES work. I've already turned off all antivirus/firewall things, but it's weird because if I run it over and over sometimes it'll work. I'm on a wired Ethernet connection so I don't understand why the connection wouldn't be stable, as it usually has been for years on this computer. Halp :c

 

Thing is....I basically have nothing on. I've completely turned off real-time protection for Windows Defender (along with adding exceptions for the whole folder, just in case), and I have Malwarebytes but that isn't even running right now.

EDIT: I opened my Malwarebytes (note: it wasn't open, checked with Task Manager) and turned off real-time protection and added MapleLegends.exe to the exceptions (before it was just the folder), and it launched. If it happens again, I'll let you know. Thanks for the help Kim!

 

So...just kidding. Played for a bit and then lagged out. Tried to relaunch and got the same error... so maybe it wasn't Malwarebytes.
I restarted my router/modem and still have the same problem. It's weird how the error is so inconsistent :/

 

It's fine, I was playing for a good bit yesterday, then would disconnect, just like now. There might be a slight delay at times, but overall it's fine.

Seems like my connection just completely dies at some point....almost as if it's getting blocked .__.

I'm pretty confident it isn't my antivirus though, since if I check my processes using Task Manager I only see Malwarebytes (well, because I opened it to turn off real-time). In my Task Bar, I see Windows Defender, but that also has its real-time turned off. My router shouldn't have any weird settings either... ahh

 

Hm...I didn't do that. I just went to the download page and downloaded the Google Drive one, ran the installer etc. Looking at that thread you linked, it seems like the file name is the same (MapleLegends19012016.exe).
I only started yesterday :x like maybe 15-16 hours ago? I didn't have this problem at first, but then I dced and then it started happening.

 

I'm using Windows 10.

 

Yay it worked! Hopefully it stays this way D:

Thank you very much Dutch and Kim! If anything comes up....again....then uh, you know.

 

Uhhhh guys it's doing it again. -o- I don't know what else to do. I got home and I was on for a good maybe 30 mins, and then all the monsters started walking in place and then everything froze, the usual dc. Apparently my friend also got lag but he didn't crash. Trying to launch again, aaaand my favorite error is back. Help :/

EDIT: Mm, so restarted my computer got it to launch. Maybe it will miraculously fix.

 

So....sorry for failing to respond and sorta necroing this post a whole month ish. I didn't respond because it consistently worked and I was happy so was just playing a whole bunch~

Here's the current situation. So before (like kinda after the latest post on this thread), I could play for a super long time (I actually managed to stay online for like 24hrs+ at one time). The error just magically disappeared. It stayed away for a good week or two. Within the last week, the error came back. I was able to kind of pin it down to a pattern.

Basically, I'll play, and randomly I'll d/c (never when I'm afk though?). This d/c is the kind of lag where you can move but can't use abilities, and all the mobs walk in place, and going through doors makes noise but nothing happens. The game will do this for around a minute until everything freezes and it crashes. When I try to relaunch, it'll give me the same error (see OP), and essentially not stop with the error for maybe 15 minutes or so. After that, it'll launch properly and work again.

Here's the SS you wanted Freddychanyo:

Disabled my wi-fi, same error.

Also, to answer Dutch101, yes my internet is really stable on all other games and on web browsers.

Every time it happens I try to flush my DNS, but no luck. Tried resetting router/modem as well, still same thing. I mainly use the prototype client but I've used both and the same thing happens with both consistently. I've basically just nuked Windows Defender. Usually I'll just leave and come back, and ta-da it works...

Anyway, hope you guys can help me, this issue is suuuper annoying :c
