Patch v0.60: CWK AutoBan Glitch

Would there be a size discrepency between people who used the auto-patcher and those who used the manual patcher and are lacking the map change? I'd be interested in seeing comparisons, just to see if there's a way to catch it.

I manual patched. Here's my Map.wz's properties.


And although I wasn't looking for one, I don't recall seeing a rope to go to the top left portal in Bent Tree. I probably would have used one if I'd seen it.

Don't feel so bad , I got temp banned as well. I'm sure not only you have been banned for this as well.

I noticed the rope on the tree, and I have been trying to get on it from before the last patch. But I could never reach it. o.O

I manual patched. Here's my Map.wz's properties.

I auto patched and my size is 408 MB (428,198,693 bytes). (Size on disk is the same)

Iuno if that's a way to detect it.

Well, I created my own manual patcher using the patch files on the Nexon website and my map.wz is '408 MB (428,198,693 bytes)' as well. Tell me, have you been to CWK, Phoenix? If so, do you have the rope?

If so, we may just have a way of figuring this out.

Yes, I have the rope, and all has been well so far for me in CWK, I spent quite a while there killing BF's with no issues.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Hmm.. can some others please post their map.wz sizes and whether or not they have the rope? I'd like to get some more data, just incase that it somehow manages to be a fluke.

I had to reinstall maple because it didn't autopatch properly. I'll go check for the handy dandy rope on a mule.

Edit: Rope was there, ran around whacking stuff on Bent Tree for a while, suicided, even, and no ban. Hello rope-which-saves-your-butt.

wow what fail from nexon, now i fell happy cause i download the whole game again since my autopatch was not working. =]

ty for nothing nexon =]

Does anyone know if Bellocan was affected by this? I went on a mule to CWK and was all over the maps. The worse that happened was a room with no portal to get out.

My friend told me her friend was in that room...
I told her friend to 'go die'.
She returned to town.

One of my friends just got banned 10mins ago, her maple was manual patched to 0.60.

I think we can come to a conclusion,that if your at CWK Bent Tree map and their is no rope, reinstall maple. Also if anyone manual patched they should reinstall maple.

[COLOR="DarkRed"][SIZE="1"]I tried auto-patch on my laptop and it corrupted.
However my brother managed to auto-patch on his pc, so I copied his MapleStory folder and we've been playing since with no banning issue.
He's been around the new maps. And I'm always in CWK, killing BF's, HH's.
So yea, it's most probably the manual patch.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

*Whew!* I haven't yet been able to patch until today (yes, thats right. o_o), and my auto-patcher was failing, so I was thinking of manual patching. This gave me a reason to not do so.

Another friend of mine just tested it, and his map.wz is the same size as the seemingly standard 'with rope' size.

Well, I just reinstalled Maple, and my Map.wz size is now 428,198,693 bytes. Hopefully, I won't be rebanned once I'm able to log in in about 30 minutes.

Off topic: Why does Maple require a ton of temp storage to install? After downloading the 1 GB .exe file, I have 3 GB free. (Yes, I have a ton of files on my computer, so my free space is low.) Then, once it's extracted MapleStory.msi, I have about 1.3 GB free, which I know it less than the size required by the MapleStory folder. However, InstallShield tells me I need 3 GB free to continue. (wtp?) So I move a 2.18 GB file to my external HDD, and once everything's done, I have 5 GB free plus the 1 GB folder installed and the original 1 GB .exe.

Nexon is really bad with coding and optimising. That's all I can really say about it.

Then, once it's extracted MapleStory.msi, I have about 1.3 GB free, which I know it less than the size required by the MapleStory folder.

1) Maplestory installer.exe (1GB)
2) MapleStory.msi x 2 (1.8GB)
3) MapleStory extracted to a temp folder as it installs (1.1GB) - I believe this is the point where it requires 3GB free to perform the step
4) MapleStory copied to install folder (1.1GB)

I don't know why it extracts the .msi twice but it requires both of them, so it needs 6+ GB to do an installation.

Wow, that's pineappled up. I second Dervish:

Anyway, I was logged in and was able to town scroll out of Bent Tree. Morbid curiosity made me go back to the map, and this time there was a rope on the left.

Well... I think that just about does it.


If your map.wz is anything other than '428,198,693 bytes' large, reinstall MapleStory or else you risk getting caught by the autoban.

The auto ban happens if you Manual Patch.
Or at least what Basilers said o.o
