MapleStory won't launch

Describe the problem. Be as specific as possible!:
When I press the start button on the website or try to launch it with the launcher HackShield never updates properly and after a couple of minutes it gives me an error and crashes. This is happening to my brother as well, so it's not just my problem.

POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS FOR HACKSHIELD UPDATE ERROR: 0x30000030(805306416):

1st possible solution: first of all, try playing maplestory on the administrater account of the computer to see if this update error goes away

2nd possible solution: the second solution would be to keep on trying, it might take alot of tries before maplestory starts working again

3rd possible solution: Aviran has stated that this solution fixes this problem:

Step 1: Delete the HShield folder located inside your MapleStory folder

Step 2: Download the following HShield folder from the following link: http://maplestory.nexon.net/download/hac...Shield.zip

Step 3: Unzip all the files into a folder called HShield, exactly the way I spelled it, with the “h” and “s” capitalized , and only have the files in ONE folder, not two...it must be ONE or else it will give you error 515
(in the correct file path, it would be C:/Nexon/MapleStory/HShield <---and the files will be in that folder...don't make the mistake of doing the following C:/Nexon/MapleStory/HShield/HShield <---with all the files in the second HShield folder)

Step 4: Put the new HShield folder inside the MapleStory folder
4th possible solution:

TIMMOTEO:
I was getting this error message on my windows XP machine running Panda AntiVirus and none of the posted fixes worked. Here is what I did to remedy the problem.

1. Navigate to "System Restore" by clicking: "Start", "All Programs", "Accessories", "System Tools", "System Restore"

2. Select "Restore Computer to an Earlier Time"

3. Choose to restore your computer to a date prior to September 16th ( I chose Sept 14th )

4. Let the restore process complete. ( It will reboot your system and then give you a message that the restore was successful upon completion)

5. Once your system has successfully restored and you have closed the "successfully restored" message box, Navigate to system "Services" by clicking: "Control Panel", "Administrative Tools", and then "Services"

6. (This is where you will have to use investigative skills) Look through the entire list of services. What you are looking for are services associated with your particular antivirus.

7. Once you have located the services associated with your antivirus, right-click on the service, and select "stop" Make sure to "Stop" every service that is associated with your antivirus.

8. After, ALL of the antivirus services are stopped, navigate to the Maplestory Folder and launch "Maplestory"

9. The hackshield patch should now successfully run and you should now be able to play Maplestory! Woot!



I would suggest logging into the game then, logging out and rebooting your computer. This will turn the antivirus services back on and your system will be protected once again. Otherwise, if you do not reboot, you will not be protected from viruses. I hope this is helpful for some of you.

I don't have Windows XP and that link doesn't work.

Pretty sure those are false positives, since my virus scanner hasn't found any.

Thanks a lot Locked, but I'm still having problems. I downloaded it and put it in my folder but I still have the same problem, although sometimes the error doesn't come up, it just loads for a long time and nothing happens.

Shift + Ctrl + Esc
End Maplestory.exe process.
Try again?

Blah, I've been doing that for a bit.
I guess I'll have to just try again tomorrow. This is annoying because I already have problems with MapleStory because of Windows 7. Also I updated my first post with one more image to show what the updating looks like.

I just had that problem.. Fortunately i saved my copy of MSSetup so i redownloaded it then i let it be for a bit and now its patching itself to v90 ill tell you the results


Edit: Works

Yeah, somehow I fixed it. Thanks Greg and Locked for your inputs.
