    PROBLEM SOLVED

    You can go into the MapleStory installation folder, right click "GameLauncher.exe", and click the 'Run with graphics processor -> High Performance' option.
    That's the only way I have been able to run it with the 335m.


    -THANKS ZACH.

    Does a 2D side-scroller really need whitelisting?

    Open the NVIDIA Control Panel.
    Manage 3D Settings> Find MapleStory on the drop down menu.
    Select it.

    Pull down the 2nd drop down box "High Performance Nvidia Processor"
    Click apply.

    Re run the game =]

    the problem is that it won't let you. You can't even click it...it only has integrated.

    Ah, I see what you mean. I just tried manually doing it, however that is odd.

    The only reason I can think of, is as it's a 2D game, it needs very little power requirements from the GPU which the Intel graphics card can handle well over it's necessary requirements to play the game on maximum. There's no point using the Nvidia card, as there won't be no overall game improvements hence why it's not highlighted I'm afraid.

    Even bypassing it to use the Nvidia graphics card (which isn't even possible) would still provide no benefits.

    So just keep using the integrated card. It's more than enough juice to play the game on max settings :)

    Can you describe the problem in more detail? For instance, does it allow you to select the exe in the first drop down box or not? Or does the second dropdown box just not include the nvidia option? Screenshots would be helpful.

    I thought maple story uses like flash or java. which in turn i haven't seen a way to change flash for like arcade games but i know java just add it to the whitelist.

    You do not need a 335m to play maple! I played that game on a amd tf20 and x1200 on max settings! If you seriously want to play it on a 335m, look for the exe in nvidia control panel, and set it to the high-performance gpu.

    But really, just use the intel card! There is absolutely no reason to use the 335m.

    LOL this is retarded, maplestory needs little to no GPU power, a 7 year old computer can run it.

    wow, you guys do not play this game or know much about it from recent patches, do you guys? If you did, when you do boss runs or just being the the free market on the most populated server, Integrated Graphics crashes.

    And to all the people who say just select High Performance, the control panel doesn't give ANY OTHER option than Integrated, it is unclickable

    Ill add a screen shot later

    Maplestory uses direct3d, so it should benefit from hardware acceleration.

    Have you guys tried renaming the exe? (ie/to something like "stalker.exe" or "launcher.exe")? I find the problem a bit odd, seeing as how I haven't been able to find a single exe on my system for which I couldn't select the nvidia graphics card (worked on everything I threw at it, like defraggler, ccleaner, notepad, etc).

    Confirm the correct exe file is in the whitelist. Run the game and ctrl-alt-del and check what processes are running. Once you confirm the exe file(s?) the game is using, try adding the exe file to the whitelist manually, even if it is the same as the one already in the list

    Or maybe you could oc your cpu. My computer runs it perfectly fine with an oced i5, even while bossing or going on the FM.

    This does not work. I have the nvidia gpu activity monitor on...


    Also renaming the exe does not work.

    Ive tried adding every maplestory exe which also did not work.

    I downloaded MS to try this and it did work, in the sense that I was able to then add the renamed exe to the whitelist. The problem is the game would not run because whatever code they use to launch it requires the exe to be the original name.

    This is only a problem on the R2 right?

    because R2 is optimus and the R1 you have to switch it yourself?

    this does not work for me (there is no gamelauncher.exe on the european client).
    has anyone else found another way to get the m11x to use the nvidia card with maplestory?

    the intel chip puts out really poor FPS.

    This no longer works for me, although it used to, a few weeks/a month ago when I last played it... :(
