Screen glitch and d/cing in cwkpq and zakum

I'm not sure if this is a common glitch, but during cwkpq and zakum while fighting the bosses in both, I can try to pull up anything on my screen, such as character stat, equipment, key setup, etc, and it's cut off at a certain point to where I can only see a portion of what I just pulled up.

Also lately I've been getting weird graphic glitches where things disappear/reappear, such as zakum would completely whole body just disappear/reappear continuously. In cwkpq while fighting mage I got the screen glitch mentioned above, the mage boss itself, her hp bar, and my character would disappear/reappear simutaneously too.

I have vista, and the only thing I can think of for the disappearing/reappearing would be my graphcis card? or some weird unknown glitch? My card is only a month old.

Also the screen glitch happens while fighting Targa too along with the disappearing/reappearing.

So these issues really only seem to occur during bosses .

What does this mean, anybody else have these problems?

Makes me kinda sad when a lot of us maplers have gaming computers meant for hardcore gaming right, but can't play a 2D game. -sad face-

EDIT*: I also forgot to mention the screen flashing after alt+tabbing out and only able to stop it by alt+f4ing until it closes.
And the glitch where, idk if this is only me, when you alt+tab out and click to open maplestory again but all you see is this small blue toolbar with maplestory written on it at the top left of my screen and you can hear all the audio, but can't see maplestory; just your desktop.

[quote=profiremage7]THIS IS THE EXACT PROBLEM I HAVE. Not just with bosses but monsters too.[/quote]

I've never had it with monsters before, I only get the music glitch that you get after fighting bosses, where you here the boss music even after you leave the boss area.

[quote=Nashinro]@boramodi: DAM. I lost the game
My computer has this graphics gitch too, and I haven't found any permanent fix so far. Just this one :[/quote]

WHen you say "This one:" did you forget to type it or one of the fixes you saw on this thread?

[quote=mrhung]Yeah I can hardly play at all anymore. I tried the alt tabbing trick at Zak and my screen went into this weird flashing thing where I couldn't do anything.[/quote]

The glitches just keep adding up eh?
This is also a glitch I've had since before I got the other ones.
This glitch used to annoy me so much cause I thought you could only force shut off your PC to stop it, but just keep pressing alt+f4 at the same time and it'll close maple.

[quote=Nashinro]I've had this too. All you have to do to fix it is change your quality setting, even if it's on lowest to begin with. If you can't see the system options window to change the quality, just use the keyboard. Esc>press down twice>enter>left arrow key for lower quality or right arrow key for higher quality>enter[/quote]

Yea changing graphics everytime in zakum worked, I just did cwkpq and when I got in boss stage I kept it at same graphics and was going to change it until after 1st boss was dead, but I got the glitches and when I alt+tabbed out so the screen glitch would go way and allow me to change my gfx; I couldn't open maple back open cause of yet ANOTHER GLITCH where all you see is a little bar at the top left of your screen saying "maplestory" that's blue with a small x on it and you can hear all the audio from the game (lol you just lost the game).

Well I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one and not glad at the same time if that makes sense...x3.

I know how to fix the screen glitch sorta but idk if it stats fixed.
You can alt+tab and then open maple back up and you'll have no mroe screen glitch unless it happens again.
Thought this doesn't really work since, some people d/c from alt+tabbing while bossing and as for me, I've also had a problem where I can't open maple back up when alt+tab out.

[quote=Etherealize]Before this sc, my entire keyboard in game would freeze during CWKPQ bosses; I use Win7. I've never gotten the disappear/reappearing glitch during Zak or SL/Targa. I don't think my graphic card is a problem; it's probably the OS. I don't have any trouble whatsoever using WinXP.[/quote

I'm hoping it's not my graphics card, I just bought it a month ago after using one for 2 years ish finally started to give out after over-usage.
I can deal with some glitches or d/cing...but not an everytime occurance :'(.

[quote=jmankhan]well this seems to be happening to mostly vista and 7 users so the majority of people conclude it as something to do with Maple being slightly incompatible with the newer windows. However, Nexon said they were working on this, so there is hope.[/quote]

I've been playing maplestory on vista for 4-5 years, not 1 single problem on any of the Hundreds of games and software I've used, not once have I been stopped from using them cause of vista, not even maplestory has had any glitches or d/cing problems. Until 2 months ago nexon did a patch that caused me to get numerous glitches and d/cing problems. So who knows what to think.

[quote=poll9999]Sometimes when I pull up character stat,guild,etc. I can only see a portion of it too,and sometimes after I use the taxi cab,the background of the town I go to becomes blue or black.[/quote]

Sounds like graphics problems for both of us T-T.
