A lot of my Japanese friends that I used to go on Horntail runs and Future Tokyo boss runs with quit MapleStory due to the 7/Vista errors. They've quit really recently as well (within the past two months).
Maybe it's all hardware? Some graphics cards may not work well enough with MapleStory on other operating systems to keep up with the newest stuff.
I'm pretty sure a good portion of it has to do with what people have on their computers, how updated their drivers are and how well the Maple client can correspond with what's on those computers.
This. I posted here about how there's a lot you could do on your end to improve the gaming experience. Latest service pack, latest drivers, latest runtime, etc. Not everyone who uses Vista/7 runs on the same spec computer so some people might get lucky and end up with no problems. I use XP and I have chronic issues with compatibility with other programs (RealPlayer
) and the same just happens a lot more to Vista/7 users.
Spoiler
eyes; other programs that use it tend to crash or lose the picture when I run Maple like RealPlayer and Livestation)Just pointing out that if there was no IP checks for KMST, wouldn't Vista/7 users who played KMST be able to tell us if it worked for them?
