For the past weeks, I'm trying to make the game work, but no success. It only gives me a black screen, cursor is visible for about 10 seconds then vanishes. After awhile, the screen goes back to normal and it says. "Connection to server has ended... Please try again later."

I've been wondering if it's my graphics card, (Intel(R) 82810 Graphics Controllers) since it stopped having updates since 2002, but I was able to play Maple Story before, a couple of years ago...

So I wonder if some people here can help and know if I'm able to play the game.



-Thank you in advance.

From what I have seen with Maple Story is that the contemporary version requires a high end Graphics Card.

Your on-board chip is probably not adequate.

That being said your error is a server "Time Out" error and not the standard Graphics error.


Do you have DirectX 9.0c?

Check: start Run... dxdiag




Also:

Look in your Event viewer: rt. click My Computer then click Manage then Event Viewer.
Or: Administrative Tools/Event Viewer or Start/Run/ eventvwr
Open the system as well as the application tabs & look for red X errors. Click error line for details.
Post back the source & event id & Description especially of errors that seem to coincide with this issue.
Also check the Information lines that might coincide with this issue.
