Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. MapleStory private server clients are commonly flagged by antivirus software because they are not digitally signed and modify game files. This is a false positive. Add the game folder as an exception in your antivirus to prevent it from quarantining the files.
Try these steps in order:
- Run the launcher as Administrator (right-click, Run as administrator).
- Make sure your antivirus is not blocking or quarantining game files.
- Use the auto-retry launcher (
LaunchMapleClassic.exe) included in the client folder. - Extract the client outside of
C:\Program Files(e.g.C:\MapleStory\).
Yes! The client uses native DirectX 8 and works on Windows 7, 10, and 11. No additional graphics wrappers or compatibility layers are needed. Just download, extract, and play.
The client launches in windowed mode by default. You can press Alt+Enter in-game to toggle fullscreen mode.
Make sure the server is online (check the status in the sidebar). If the server is online but you cannot connect, check your firewall settings and ensure ports 8484 and 7575 are not blocked. Restart the launcher and try again.
cosmic.ini is included with the client and should already be configured. It should not show an internal GameHost value; if you see one, you are using an old build and should reinstall the latest client from this page.
Yes! MapleClassic supports macOS via Wine. The game runs on both Intel Macs and Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4) through Rosetta 2. You need Wine installed (CrossOver for best compatibility, or free alternatives like Homebrew Wine). See the macOS section above for download and setup instructions.
