Hey!
**
Caution : Maplestory content. If you ain't a maple person, don't bother reading this. (: **
Yeah rmb that sickening stupid error code I posted before? YES. I spent like the whole day yesterday just to find the stupid solution. And I found it!!! :DDDDD Haha. Prolly most of yall that have just downloaded maple and can't play after clicking on the mushroom icon, have the stupid 'error code : -2005532292 (unknown error 0x9976017C)' thingy popping out. Yeah and you can't solve the stupid problem 'cause it stated 'unknown error'. Haha. Well it's not unknown now, I shall share the solution. (:
There are 2 possible reasons that maple can't load (ONLY with this error), and the problems don't come from maple. So by re-downloading maple again and again(prolly what most ppl would do - BIG MISTAKE) won't solve your problem - it'll prolly make you even more pissed, waste the whole afternoon downloading the game for nothing, and you won't feel like playing alr. HAHA. So yeah. The first reason's 'cause you don't have
DirectX. I shan't explain wth is that, it's just some safe software you'll need in order to play maple/let maple work. Yeah. The second reason's 'cause your com's
graphic card driver ain't good enough - it can't display the "high quality" colours and pictures that maple have. Yeah so you'll have to update it! Heehee. Normally everyone would need to download both luh. Yeahh.
Here are the links to solve your problems. (:
1. Download the latest version of DirectX(For now luh. You can always go to Microsoft.com to see if there's a later ver of DirectX) :
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=2da43d38-db71-4c1b-bc6a-9b6652cd92a3Just press
continue, then
download. YEAH. :D Then I think you'll have to run it, then should be okay alr. Yup. If you can't run it, then I think no need lor. Yeahh.
2. Update you Graphic Card Driver. Yeah, but first before downloading, you'll have to check the info of your current G.C.D.
To do so, Click
Start button > Click
Run > Type
Dxdiag > Click
OK (A window named 'DirectX Diagnostic Tool' should appear) > Click the tab
Display. Take note of : (i) The
name and series (eg. ATI Radeon X300 Series)
Yeah and then go to :
http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspxIn the
first box, click on your comp's
operating system (eg. Windows XP / Vista etc.). Then in the
second box, click on your G.C.D.'s
name (eg. Radeon, in this case). Then in the
third box, click on you G.C.D.'s
series (eg. Radeon X300, in this case). The click the
GO! button. (:
Yeah, scroll down, till you see
Option 2 - Individual Downloads. Then you'll see the first option :
Display Driver. Click on the
Download button for Display Driver. Yeah. Save it, YUP. Then after downloading it, they'll ask you to restart your com. Just restart luh, then you can play alr. :DDDDD
Yeah, brought to you by T.C.! HAHA. Take care, folks. (:
