Information (Windows 8/10) Turn off compatibility mode

Hello,

Since the early days we've auto applied Windows 98/me compatibility mode on Windows 8 machines and above when you install our game.

This for long time went pretty fine, which gave the client more success rate to bootup. Eventually we fixed Parameter is Incorrect for good, but the mentioned compatibility mode still fixed from time to time errors such as GR2D errors.

Unfortunately as time went on, Windows 98/me compatibility mode has proven to cause the client to actually lag pretty horribly on some W8/10 system, most noticeable during KerningJQ and general client lag when you scroll the chat.

Last week I've learned that my machine, which is Windows 10 OS with NVIDIA has issues with it as well.

Therefor I've decided to discontinue auto applying the compatibility mode and instead troubleshoot users IF they get errors. Its been much less in general since the Parameter fix long ago, and I prefer overall client stability over boot-up success.

Using Windows 8/10?

You most likely have compatibility mode on right now, and I suggest disabling it.

How?

Right click your MapleLegends client OR MapleLegendsWindowed client and select properties

This should pop up:



Now go to compatibility:



And uncheck the box:



Check if its applied on all users by using this button:



If so, don't change anything.

Click OK. Do this for both MapleLegends and MapleLegendsWindowed.

Done? Does your client still run? Great, you don't have to do anything. Error out now? Let us know which error you're receiving.
