Ok so i have read some threads and im not quite sure what to do, i went on my 1st zakum run and i thought like balrog pq i would be fine iv never had any real dc problems before with ms and dcing (besides 1 or 2 random dcs and dc hackers) im runing vista on a cruddy laptop but maple works 98% of the time. So we fought zakum arms down in a few min 1st body in another few min i used my swis cheese because my ride to work was here and i was in a hurry then about 1/4th -1/3rd the way trough the 2nd body zakum starts to dis-aper and re-aper, and their is what almost looks like matrix code flashing in and out except its more like if you smashed your screen a bit and you have a bar of broken pixels in a remote shaped rectangle going vertically on part of zakum to the right of his body. I was worried but kept attacking i wasn't lagging much maby a lag spike or 2 every once in a while but nothing i couldn't handle or wasn't used to, then i randomly dc and it completely closes maple T_T i was rather disappointed because i didn't have time to go on another run i have some ideas and hope they will work so i don't dc but i would like to know what to do to stop this problem before i go on another run any help is appreciated.

Try adjusting your quality every time a part dies starting from best. Example : all arms die, turn down quality a bit, then body, turn down quality, 2nd body, turn down quality, 3rd body, turn down quality. You should end with lowest quality and no disconnections. Works for me. Source : I've been on a zakum run.

When it turns invisible its a sign you will d/c. Also, there is a solution after all the arms die lower your quality. Start off with max (highest) then lower when all the arms die. After the first body dies lower again. etc

When the first body starts change the resolution from the highest to lowest. That always works for me.

i think the most common solution to it is when you start Zak, ahve your pic quality on ful. Once you down all the arms, and you start on 1st bodt, lower the graphics by 1 step. Repeat this when 1st body is down and 2nd starts. Repeat again when 2nd body is down and you start attacking 3rd. By the end of it, your graphics should be on the lowest possible setting. Hope this helps. Edit: Ninja's

It's a weird graphics problem with vista and maybe windows 7 too. Not really sure what causes it

Is it necessary to keep the quality at max at the start? or can one just put it at lowest from the beginning and not worry about it later?

[/quote] You just need to change the graphics setting at each point (arms down, 1st body down, 2nd body down). So you could have it at the lowest setting to start and just toggle back and forth between the 2 lowest.

Nobody here has ever experienced this before. I happen to know exactly what you're talking about; it's a sequence of black and white lines that jump in and out from the side of the screen. It happened to me in LMPQ once ages ago when someone in my party vac hacked the 30k touch damage golem onto the main platform so everyone died, and then it bugged the hell out. It's got nothing to do with vista, because it happened to me on exp. I don't know what causes it, but I've only ever experienced this once and I really doubt any other people have other than those in my party. I thought it was a one off cos nobody knew what it was.

[/quote] Windows 7 is much worse I believe. Atm, I can't go on MS for more than like 10 minutes without it randomly crashing. As of now, I've just gotten on and off Maple crashing at least 5 times in the past 5 minutes. Looks like a memory leak too. It always happens when MS is taking 400mb of RAM. Also, I can't go into window mode / alt tab without the screen starting to just go in an endless loop or the window just disappearing entirely. Not even able to see anything when this happens, which is almost all the time. Forgot to mention, I'm on 7 64bit.

[/quote] Install vcredistx86. Should fix it. Was the old fix back then, really old glitch for both Windows XP and Windows Vista. 7 is just a whole different story.
