this is an updated exe.
the game uses a "ping" system. if no response within 10 seconds it will think something is broken or cheat-used.
this updated exe allow for 20 seconds instead. will give enough time to run the game.
for me it takes 2 seconds to open the game. but I got feedback from someone that it took 15 seconds.
hopefully 20 seconds it enough.

My experience with this game...
Downloaded and unzipped ver. 0.2.6.5c. Run application 'Maple' (what the hell?) Game opens in tiny window, looks like a 'Maple' game. (Did they upload the wrong game?) Before I can ponder any further, game closes and I get a window saying [Cheats Detected!] (WTF?! I don't have any cheats for this game!) Reopen Maple application game window opens again. After several seconds of nothing happening, I click on setup. I move slider to full screen. As I'm trying to figure out if there's anything else I need to adjust, game closes again. I narrow my eyes as there is no explanation of this. Open Maple App 3rd time. No issues. Reluctantly click on 'log in' (also thinking I need to log in to some kind of server), click 'Create Character' find I can't 'modify' my avatar in any way (why even do this if I can only enter a name?) and hit 'create'. For the Briefest moment I get a screen with several windows of operations running in what appeared to be a DOS-like format before flashing back to the Start Game screen. (Nope, that's it, too suspicious! Close game, delete files)

Now, maybe I'm being paranoid and all of this is a part of the "experience." My Virus software didn't so much as twitch during this whole process. And admittedly, I'm not that "computer savy." Still, it was enough to scare me off and I thought I'd mention my experience. Hope no one else is having trouble like this.
Currently experiencing the same thing. Now I have played this game before this update and it worked fine. I do not know what has happened for the game to crash but I hope it gets fixed sooner rather than later.

Seem like the game crashes around 10 secs after launching with 240 Hz monitor refresh rate.
Work fine with 60 Hz though.

Yeah, we uploaded an exe yesterday which increases the timeout to 20. It's on the previous page.

Oh, I see. Since I got the "Malformed attachment error" when I was trying to download it, I didn't have a chance to use it first. Hearing about the ping system that was mentioned, I was under the assumption that the game was sped up due to the high monitor refresh rates and timed out the ping system before I could get past the main menu screen. Glad to see that was the fixes for it. my apologies for the repetitive question.

No worries. We're hoping to do a monthly update for November to make sure this is working across the board. Older systems are not something we can always account for and it's those of them that tend to quickly get shut off by the timer. We're working on a global fix

I added a "refresh-rate" adjustment as well.
but if it will not work tell me and I will take a look again.
right now Im working on optimizing the loading part. should make it a bit faster.
we will see next update.

Still can't enter the game after pressed Log In button. Previous version seems no problem for my laptop to run it. My laptop's processor is Intel Celeron CPU N3350 1.10 GHz with 4GB RAM. I guess I will wait for a while for fixed version. Thanks for providing help Baka.

Wait, I was wrong when I said the game crash when clicked "login". After I clicked the MC character and press " Start", the screen went black for more than 20 seconds and crashed with error message "cheat detected! "

did it take 20 seconds to start the game in previous builds?
the system waits 20 seconds, if no "ping" response it will think something is broken or u are freezing the game or using a cheat-tool. if it always take 15+ seconds to start the game I will look into it. maybe I need to split the loading into 2 so it can send a "ping" response while loading.
for me it takes 1-2 seconds to load.

I don't use any cheat tool in this game. It is less than 20 seconds in previous version for me to start the game. Sometimes less than 15 seconds when teleports different locations in map.

I think the problem is .webp
we updated the engine with that and it require more cpu power to decode it.
Im working to update the engine to make it more optimized. hopefully it will load faster next build.
what u can do is create a new character and select "freemode". and tell me how fast it load to start a game.
that will help me understand if its just .webp or its also ui_story loading that takes time.

I restart the game and it took me 15 seconds to main menu. Then, made new character, selected free mode and clicked "start". Well, the game crashed after waiting for more or less 16 seconds from my stopwatch.
