It's come to our attention that players who are using the Internet Explorer 64-bit browser may be prompted to download MapleStory even when they already have the latest version of MapleStory installed. These players are therefore unable to launch the game through the website. We're currently working on resolving the issue and will update you soon.

In the meantime, please try using another browser, such as Chrome or Firefox, to launch the game using the Play button.

• Download Chrome: www.google.com/chrome
• Download Firefox: www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/

People use IE for something other than downloading a different browser?

Webdesigners use it to make sure their site is cross browser. Also a reason why I want to burn down Microsoft.

I'd just put something in
"if IE is current browser,
redirect to http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/products/download.html
or https://www.google.com/chrome
or close browser and delete system 32"

I've never been able to launch through the website and I use Firefox.

True, you can put in "if IE..." however you need to test it anyway.

Usually I just go:

Make it > Check if crossbrowser > add in IE code to remove buggs.

Lol internet explorer.
I swear Netscape is better than IE >_>

I appreciate the anti-IE and all. But IE9 isn't that bad. Even though I don't use it.

I dislike the amount of power active-x has. For that reason, I refuse to use IE if I have the choice to.

This means I only really use it for nexon.com sites, and some homework websites that require active-x.

The employee website provided by where I work requires Internet Explorer 6. That's right, 6. Completely throws most windows vista/7 users out of luck.
Said "compatibility" found in IE7+ gives the same response as using any modern browser. The site just redirects wrong and throws up an oracle database error page -which has nothing to do with the actual site.
My sole reason for needing ANY internet explorer at all.



Wonder how they[Nexon] even caught wind of this glitch even existing. As it is, there's probably a total of 10 people that use 64-bit IE. Not saying that as a fact or anything, and most statistics tend to be inaccurate as well, but IE numbers are certainly dwindling pretty low these days.

Do it!!! Do it NAOW!!! :)

I am talking about NexonKR though ;~;

It's a pity they don't use the manual launching from the desktop as the workaround. I know it's a pain to do, but at least it will remove the PITA of browser launching.Made myself another account the other day and tried running it through the launcher with no problems. In my case, logging into MS would have come around full circle with logging in using the email address.
