"Can this PC run Maplestory and Zakum?" - Find out here.
Maple story Forums : Maple Story Tech Help & Patches : Talk about problems with Maple Story and Patches Thread starter
Okay, this has been a fairly common question in this section lately so here are the basics:Note: This thread is primarily for if you want to know if a PC you wish to purchase or are getting can run it. If you already have the PC, why ask? Either select maple from the drop down list here and let it scan and tell you: link or install maple and just try it yourself. If you still aren't sure with something, then yeah, feel free to ask. Maplestory's minimum/recommended requirements: Processor: Pentium 3 1Ghz processor. Basically, any processor with over 1 Ghz should be able to run maple according to Nexon. You may lag though, so think of a *1.8+ Ghz processor as recommended Ram: 256MB ram does work for some people, but to avoid lag, I wouldn't recommend anything less than 512MB. If you're using vista, *1GB ram would be a bare minimum. Graphics card: Most graphics cards should be fine, even on-board ones often work fine with maple too, so if you have a Geforce or Radeon graphics card, consider it a bonus. Hard Drive: Maple only uses about 1.5gb space once installed. However, in order for your PC to be running properly, you should never really go below 3-5gb space free. Internet speed: This is the most important thing when it comes to lagging such as when monsters freeze, skills lock up, pickup lag. That type of thing. A 128Kbps connection would be a minimum, *1Mbps (1024Kbps) and faster would be ideal. Distance from the servers in California can also be a factor. Locations outside the US may get some lag regardless as to how fast your connection is. How do I find out what my Computer specifications are?: To find out what Ghz your processor is as well as how much RAM you have, right click "My computer">Properties>General tab. They should both be listed there. To double check your hard drive space, right click the hard drive icon in "my computer" and select properties. Used space and free space should be shown. To find out what graphics card you have, hold down the Windows key on your keyboard and press R. In the window that pops up, type in "Dxdiag"(without quotes) and click "OK"In the window that opens, go to the display tab. Your graphics card should be listed in the top left module of the window by "Name:" To check your internet speed, these sites will be able to tell you: link or link After all that, If you're still not sure whether your PC or a PC that you wish to purchase will be able to run Maple, please just reply with the computer's specifications here rather than create a new topic asking and I (or someone else who knows) will reply.  I have Windows Vista, will Zakum glitch up if I go on a run? Some people claim that Vista Service Pack 1 has fixed this, however, I haven't seen any such trend. (Confirmation on this would be welcomed though). What I have noticed is that people with a good graphics card usually don't get it on vista at all. This has been confirmed for several Geforce 7 and 8 series cards. In general, I'd bet that most proper graphics cards will prevent the glitch. If you have a different graphics card and have participated in runs while running vista, please do confirm if you are able to kill zakum without it glitching up. See the previous (above) section to find out how to check which graphics card you have. People who just have a basic built-in onboard graphics in their motherboard are usually affected by the glitch. Commonly known ways I've heard of to avoid it if you do not have a proper graphics card are to either alt+tab out at each body change or to change your graphics settings during the run. *= Should be enough for zakum.

Hey I'm soon to go on a Zrun and my system RAM turns out to be 510 MB according to the site that you suggested. Would this be a serious problem? New Pic: AHHHHHHHHHHHHH

How come at Orbis i only get like 5 frames per second instead of 15+?My computer stats are Windows Vista Home Premium AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processer 4000+ 960 MB RAM NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 o_o and will that also be able to zrun or must i buy a new graphics card ._.
Question:I have 936 MHz (=0.937GHz) and 640 MB of RAM and I'm not sure about the graphics card but under computer it says Intel Pentium lll Processor (old computer), would my computer be able to run Zakum? O_O
Yay Mindstormer! Now I don't have to worry about this crappy Geforce 7300 lagging me out.
I'm not sure i never heard of a computer that can't run Maplestory. 0_o
[quote=Mindstormer]Hmm, nah, I don't think that's integrated, in any event it's better than a default integrated one. I haven't had confirmation as to whether that one is capable of running without glitching, but I suspect it may be just fine. Just be prepared to alt tab or whatever should the glitch occur. Actually, the Xpress 1250 is an integrated chip. My laptop has the Xpress 1150, and let me tell you, it's definitely integrated lol. I sure was angry when I found that out xD New Pic: lame
My display thingie is a Intel(R) G965 Express Chipset Family.Is this on-board? Can I Zakum? Should I get a different one? Which one if yes? xP Sorry for all the the questions, but j00 R liek g0d. PM me with the post if you can Thanks in advance,
oh sweet gg mine can run Zakum with absolute no lagintel quad q6600 geforce 9800gtx 2gb ram

(depends on luck, cos even cable internet goes down sometimes) EDIT: i forgot and also depends on nexon's servers if they are working right at that time or not. (that kinda depends on luck mainly)

That should be more than enough to run maple. I'd check and see what other programs you have running in the background and just try cutting down on them to see if maple will run a bit better. __________________________________________________ Skynana said: "Question: I have 936 MHz (=0.937GHz) and 640 MB of RAM and I'm not sure about the graphics card but under computer it says Intel Pentium lll Processor (old computer), would my computer be able to run Zakum? O_O" With that processor, I would say it is unlikely. Especially if you have windows XP. You might have a low chance of it if you have an earlier operating system that uses less memory. __________________________________________________ leprickon said: "[quote=Mindstormer] Hmm, nah, I don't think that's integrated, in any event it's better than a default integrated one.

Hey Mstormer, well the last time i went to zak during the third body his body kept dissapearing but i still heard the attack.( iwas using vista with 1gb of ram). PS: i dced right before he died T_TSo i was going to go zak tomorrow and i just added 2gb more of ram. So i know i am wondering will i still experience the same problem?

Okay.Well, I have 2gb ram, 1.86Ghz Core Duo processor, ATI Radeon X1400 mobility video card. I'm on vista. My download is 10899 kb/s and my upload is 1294kb/s. I have SP1. Think I can pull it off? :P Register / login
