Okay so I'm trying to play Gunbound and I ran into a problem that perplexed me for quite a while, but after some time it dawned on me that this issue used to happened to me when I tried to play Maple on a foreign machine before, and it was resolved by adjusting my scanning frequency via the file Setup.exe included in the MapleStory folder.
At the very least, I believe that is the problem.
Issue description
- Pitchblack screen
- BMG playing normally
- When tabbing out, you can catch a slight glimpse of whatever should be showing

So the question is, how do I find out what frequency is suitable for GB gameplay and how do I change mine to that? I tried googling but as expected I couldn't squeeze any bit of info out of it; probably poor skills.
