Launching Maple from chrome may break for good soon

As many of you know, the play button to start maple broke not too long ago. Just recently, nexon released their [url=http://maplestory.nexon.net/news/news/current/00ISB/google-chrome-web-launch-issue#]fix[/url] to get it working again. You might notice you have to re-enable something called "NPAPI".

[url=https://threatpost.com/google-shuts-off-npapi-in-chrome/112295]Google shuts off NPAPI in Chrome[/url]

" 'We will provide an override for advanced users (via chrome://flags/#enable-npapi) and enterprises (via Enterprise Policy) to temporarily re-enable NPAPI (via the page action UI) while they wait for mission-critical plugins to make the transition. In addition, setting any of the plugin Enterprise policies (e.g. EnabledPlugins, PluginsAllowedForUrls) will temporarily re-enable NPAPI.'

That override will disappear later this year, in Chrome 45, when Google completely removes support for the NPAPI from the browser."

It sounds like the play button may permenantly break for chrome soon and that Nexon is just using a temporary fix.

Does anyone start the game from chrome? I think I've used the game launcher since the very beginnning o.o

It's not against ToS anymore from my understanding

I only use one account anyways so it's not a big deal for me. I haven't had crashes all that often.

@KaichouShion They say to Click the Enable button, restart, and make sure it says "Disable" to indicate that its enabled.

@MystiicAran I used firefox for a while. I switched to chrome though since It makes use of multiple cores a lot better and won't crash the whole browser if one of the websites in your tabs decides to freeze up

Nexon tells you to disable it, not enable.

I never liked using the Play Button to begin with. I've always used the Game Launcher.

Your chrome is probably not up to date. You could alternatively just use older versions of chrome to keep using the 'play button' but it's a pretty bad idea
