MapleStory is the iconic 2D MMORPG that has stood the test of time and has been going strong for almost 2 decades. But like with any game, successful or not, errors are not completely avoidable and so some players have faced issues in the game. More specifically, we are talking about the “Not enough memory” issues that have been disrupting the experience for many gamers like yourself. So, how do you go about fixing this? Well, here we are with all the answers.
Talking about the issue, it is a reoccurring one with no exact causes. And even if you have enough RAM and plenty of disk space on your system, you can still run into this error. This can be due to virtual memory settings, which combine your RAM and hard drive space for better performance. The next thing to look for is a fix. But are there any? Continue reading to find out.
MapleStory not enough memory issue: How to fix it
Unfortunately, there is no official fix for this issue, but we do have some potential workarounds that may or may not solve the problem for you. So, try these:
First things first
The first workaround is to restart both the game and your system. Start by closing MapleStory and then open the Task Manager to make sure all related processes are also closed. This helps clear any residual memory usage that might be causing the error. After ensuring everything is properly closed, restart your PC and try launching the game again. Again, make sure that the RAM is free from any heavy load and kill any other apps running in the background before launching the game after a restart.
GPU updates
Another workaround is to update the drivers for your GPU. If you are someone who does not regularly check for updates, your outdated or corrupted graphics drivers may be causing these performance issues. To update your GPU drivers, visit the official website of your graphics card manufacturer (NVIDIA, AMD, or Intel), download the latest drivers for your model, and install them.
Dedicate GPU
After updating your drivers, make sure that the game is utilizing all of the available power from your system’s dedicated graphics card. To do this, just type “Graphics” in the Windows search box to open the Graphics Settings menu. You will see a long list of installed programs. From here, all you have to do is scroll, select MapleStory, and then set it to “High Performance”.
Increase Vram
Tweaking with the values of Vram can also help. To do this, search for “View Advanced System Settings” in the Windows search box and click on it. Under the Advanced tab, click “Settings” in the Performance section. In the Performance Options window, go to the Advanced tab again and click “Change” under Virtual Memory. Uncheck “Automatically manage paging file size for all drives”, select the drive where the game is installed, and set the custom size for virtual memory. The initial size should be 1.5 times your total RAM, and the maximum size should be 3 times your total RAM. Click “OK” to apply the changes. After all this, launch the game and see if this fixes the memory issues.
Reinstall
The last workaround is to reinstall MapleStory. To reinstall, first uninstall the game from your system through the Steam Client. Once uninstalled, restart your PC to clear any lingering data. Then, download the latest version of MapleStory from the official website or your game launcher and install it, preferably on a different and faster drive (SSD). This fresh installation could help resolve memory errors and let you play the game without any further issues. Some players reported that it took them more than 2 reinstallations to get the game working, so you can try the same.
