[Update Mar 15] MapleStory Updating to 64-bit Client with v.231

MapleStory - ColonelPanic

[Update Mar 15] The Memory Map Input/Output and Max Memory Usage Limit options were originally planned for release with the v.231 update, however they are still under development and their release has been delayed to a future update. We will update with additional information on when these options will be released as soon as the release schedule is determined.

Additionally, we highly recommend that you do a full re-install of the game to avoid any stability issues when upgrading to the 64-bit Client. Thank you!

Attention Maplers,

With the v.231 update, currently scheduled for Wednesday, March 16, 2022, MapleStory's game client will be upgraded to 64-bit, enabling improved performance on modern systems and to help us support MapleStory long into the future. As part of this update, MapleStory will no longer be playable on 32-bit (x86) operating systems.

Why Upgrade to a 64-bit Game Client?

MapleStory on 32-bit was limited in its memory to ~2 GB in usage, depending on the needs of the operating system. With the change to 64-bit, it will allow the MapleStory client to use more memory and improve client performance in various memory-intensive situations. While the 64-bit client will improve some client performance issues, please keep in mind that it will not resolve every issue you may have encountered previously.

How Can I Learn What Operating System I Have?

If you are unsure of what sort of operating system you have running on your PC, you can find out in the "About Your PC" System Setting page:

Use the Windows key to bring up the Start Menu, and click on the Gear icon to open up the settings.
Under "System" menu, select "About" at the bottom of the sidebar.
Look under "System type", which will tell you which type of operating system and processor you have.

It should show one of three possible options:

64-bit operating system, x64-based processor: No changes required, your computer is already set-up and good to go!
32-bit operating system, x64-based processor: Your computer's operating system is still 32-bit, however your system's processor is able to support a 64-bit operating system. In order to play MapleStory after the update, you will need to upgrade your operating system to a 64-bit version.
32-bit operating system, x86-based processor: Unfortunately, your computer is not able to support a 64-bit operating system, and will not be able to run MapleStory after this update.

System Requirements

Additionally, with this update to the MapleStory client, we will be increasing the Minimum and Recommended System Requirements for MapleStory to the below.

System

Minimum Requirements

Recommended Requirements

Updated Windows 7 (64 bit) with Security Update KB3033929 *

Windows 10 (64 bit) and above

CPU

Intel Core 2 Duo 3.0Ghz / AMD Athlon 64 x2 3.0Ghz

Intel Core i3 4.0 Ghz / AMD Ryzen 3 3.5 Ghz and above

RAM (Memory)

4 GB

8 GB or more

Storage

20 GB or more

40 GB or more ^

Graphics Card

GeForce 9600 GT / ATI Radeon HD 3870

Nvidia GTX 1050 / AMD RX 570 and above

Direct X

9.0c

9.0c or later

Network

Broadband Internet Connection

Fibre Internet Connection

* While these are the minimum requirements to run MapleStory, you may encounter unforseen scenarios and errors while running on Windows 7.
^ For a smooth installation, we recommend having at least 40 GB of hard drive space available.

Additional Options

[Update Mar 15] These options were originally planned for release with the v.231 update, however they are still under development and their release has been delayed to a future update. We will update with additional information on when these options will be released as soon as the release schedule is determined.

Finally, in a future update, two additional options will be made available in-game in a new 64-bit option menu:

Memory Map Input/Output (Default: Off): When enabled, this will allocate additional memory to MapleStory in order to improve data access speeds, improving overall performance.
Max Memory Usage Limit (Default: 50% of system RAM): Restricts how much memory that MapleStory can use. A higher cap will improve performance and loading times. When the cap is reached, the system will attempt to release unused memory, which may cause performance issues.

Thank you,

- The MapleStory Team

[Updated] Pink Bean Bulletin: Update #3 on Lag and Server Instability Issues

MapleStory - Ghiblee

[Updated February 22 at 3:52 PM PST] As mentioned in this post, we are asking our Maplers to fill out this brief survey about your experience with the performance of specific NA Reboot world channels after the February 17 maintenance. Please fill out this survey by Thursday, February 24th at 7:00 PM PT. Thank you!

Greetings Maplers,

Here’s a little update on what we observed after the February 4th NA Reboot world maintenance.

February 4 NA Reboot World Maintenance
After the NA Reboot world maintenance on February 4, we saw that channels 4, 11, 14, and 18 showed the improvements that we observed when we changed the hardware specs for Reboot world channel 6. However, channels 26, 27, and 28 didn’t seem to improve even when using the same type of hardware spec. The difference between these 2 sets of channels is that we completely rebuilt new machines for channels 4, 11, 14, 18. For channel 26 - 28, since they were already using similar generation hardware, the provider allowed the option to switch to the new type rather than rebuild them. There hasn’t been any information from our service provider on why the channels with the same hardware specs perform differently. Channels 29 and 30 have new setting changes, but these still did not improve even with this different method. As a result, we will focus on rebuilding channels.

February 17 Maintenance
During this Thursday's maintenance, we rebuilt Reboot world channels 1, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, and 30 using the new hardware type that we used for Reboot world channels 4, 6, 11, 14, and 18.
We will again post another survey to gather information after this weekend, when the channels have had some time to be played on for a few days. The survey link will be provided here in this post as well as posted in our community platforms. We’d appreciate your active participation and feedback on these surveys.

Thank you for your continued patience.

Sincerely,
Mjollnir64 Bean
