My friend invited me to come on a Zakum run today so I could get a helm on my White Knight, besides his own DCing issues that left me with just his 5 other party members, everything was going great. When we reached 3rd body, it completely vanished, which obviously is a bad sign. Then the other 5 avatars were flickering in and out. I was able to pot and everything fine. And then my pet got hungry so I tried feeding it and that's when I dced. I run on Vista, and I've never had this problem before, anything I can do to fix it?

I know two people IRL who were never able to finish their entire zakum run. For one of them, graphics on the screen sometimes go nuts; disappearing/flickering zakum. Then 2nd body or 3rd body he always DCs. Used vista and windows7. For the other person, he just always DCs when zakum dies or a little before that. Windows vista. I on the other hand use XP so I never had these problems. I don't know how you could fix this, it's some graphics problem/coding thing going on. I believe it was because Maple is not compatible with windows vista and 7 since it was scripted for XP. Some people say if you reduce your maple graphics to low or change to window mode you won't dc.

This problem can happen on Windows XP too. I had this problem on Vista when I first got my comp, so I dual booted XP SP2. For about 7 or 8 months I had no trouble with Zakum or Horntail, then this summer for some reason things started happening again and I always DCed at Horntail. I read about players with similar issues and some common fixes were to delete hsupdate folder and run hsupdate.exe and to uninstall and reinstall all of the .NET framework v1-4 and Visual C++ Redistributable. I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling MapleStory. After all of those solutions failed to work for me, I finally reinstalled Windows XP SP3 and the problem is still there on a fresh install. I have no idea how to fix it or why it does it.

I can't even attack it without dcing It gets summoned, my screen freezes for like 8 seconds, I try to attack once, and maple closes like nobody's business. I've tried playing with my in game graphics, updating my graphics card, running game booster, etc. I give up.

Start at 3rd highest for graphic settings, then as you start to kill the zakum bodies, lower it as you go.

Well at least I'm not alone I spose. Though this does little to help get my White Knight a helm >_<

Try lowering graphics, also look for pending windows on your desktop, ik that when I open my comp there is allways a pending window about Java updates and if I dont close it, I lag. Other then that my comp works fine even with high graphics, if these don't help you and you keep on having lags I sujest you check your CPU, and look for any bad internet connections.

Islander20 Grats on Lv.200 I have the same problem too in Zak run and Balrog PQ. What I do to solve it is that I keep changing the picture quality to low, high or in between every five or ten minutes. This way if the body disappears it will reappear, and d/c is prevented. Hope this helps. Edit: here is a reference on the same problem
