Error code: -2005532292 (Unknown error code 0x8876017C)/Error code: 2005530585 (Unknown error code 0x88760827) 

This an error is result of your computer trying to play MapleStory. Normally, it is from incorrect Display drivers or an outdated version of DirectX. To determine the currently installed display drivers installed in your PC, right click on any empty space on your Windows Desktop, and select properties. Then click the Settings tab. Below the image of the Monitor, it will say Display: and the name of the currently installed driver. If this driver does not match the hardware you have installed, you will need to update the driver. Please contact your PC’s manufacturer or the video card’s manufacturer for information on installing an updated driver.

 

If you do not have the latest version of Microsoft DirectX, you can also download it from our website - http://maplestory.nexon.net/WZ.ASPX?PART=/Downloads/GamePatcher

I have the latest directX installed, and i never got this error before the .41 patch. 2 monitors are used, however i only play MS on the left one. On my other computer, it also works perfectly. Any chance i can get some help?

can sumone plz tell me where is self-service portal is

since i reset my pin and they send me an email telling me to go to self-service portal to go see the case but i don't know where it is

plz help me

where is it?

I have exactly the same problem-  worked great BEFORE the 041 patch, disconnects within seconds of the first game screen appearing AFTER the patch.   I used a stopwatch and timed it several times this weekend and found that approximately 50 seconds after the login screen appears, (the one where you enter your username, password and pin), I disconnect.  Screen freezes, goes black, drops back to Windows desktop with NO error messages.

If I type real fast and choose world, channel and character really fast, I might be able to move around the map a bit, even kill a monster or two, but 50 seconds after the login screen appears-  bam.  Disconnect.

I don't believe it's a problem with our computers- after all, the only thing that changed was the PATCH.  Thus drivers, monitor frequency, direct X, whatever-  should have NO bearing on the problem.  Something isn't right with the patch, and it's affecting only certain people.  I too am running 98SE, but others with XP have reported the same trouble.

The only thing I can suggest (VERY STRONGLY), is to go to the SUPPORT section of this site (click the Support link at the top of this page) and log a ticket with Nexon Customer Service,  They need to know the severity of the problem and how many paying customers are being affected by it.  Describe the problem, your computer and the Windows version. 

Ive read your post, and it doesent seem to help. Ive found simialr posts that address my problem, but they are either unhelpfull or people just dont replay to them. 

The Client installed properly and even patched. When i open the game gameguard loads and the "play" screen pops up. I click play and then it takes me to the wizet animation. The animation dissapers and is replaced by a blank white screeen, then it exits  the game and takes me back to windows and a blank box that is titled "MapleStory" appers.

heres a link to a picture of the box: http://img234.imageshack.us/my.php?image=mserrorjs8.png

 This is my 6th attempt at getting the game to work, sent in a support ticket on my 4th try, and never got a reply back.

Attemps 1-4: on instalation the area with the legal aggrement where you accept or not accept was blank.

Attenos 5-6: Installed fine but wont load past the wizet screen and brings me back to windows, also happens with attemps 1-4

 Using Windows XP,  DuoCore 2.66 Ghz, 1 GB ram, RADEON X300 SE graphics card (if thats any help...)

*edit* Also, even though i cant actually play the game, it also dissables my USB Dell Mulimedia keyboard. I have to uninstall the keyboard driver and reinstall it for it to work again, i was wondering if there is a way around this?

I got one for you, for some reason i can't change my main char it just sits there like a idiot on the main site. I keep trying to change it on both fire fox

and Internet explorer but it won't let me. I had recently deleted my sin and it was set as my main char unforuntely i thought i would be able to change it back to my main, Angelrein and it gives me this weird message.

Server Error in '/' Application.

i have been experiencing weird problem. before , like last year, i play maple story it works fine. but now, most of the time i tried to play, after the game guard connected, it says error 114. i read the faq and this forum. i tried to close every program there is that is open. inc. msn, etc. and i tried to open MS again.. it stills give me the error. then i tried to restart the computer, ive tried like more than 10 times. it still gives me that error. i don't know what to do about it anymore. i dont even have my firewall on. i have NO clue whats going on. help please.. im using windows xp home.

ps. sometimes it goes thru but gives a black screen and then just exited its own and give "connection has ended" and like 2 times, i got thru and played. i don't want to quit MS because i bought NXcash recently.. and i still have like 32k NXC.. and i dont want to waste it. 

I have the exact same problem as Angelrein. I simply can't change my main character image, nor can i apply a new character which I just created with an image at all. Both lead to the database error.

 At first I thought it was a certain computer that caused it, but i'v tried changing my character on multiple computers. On two at home and three at my dad's work, and on every single one of them I get that same error.

Is there a resolution for it ?

I opened a ticket and they simply pointed me to this forum, obviously being unable to find what the problem is.

Anyone ?

Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

mode.bib exe

...I have never ever heard of such a file, nor can I find it on Google. Maybe a virus or something..? O.o I'd do a search on your PC [Start>search>for files/folders ] and type in that filename, see if it comes up with anything. if it does, find out if it's something you need or not.
