Download the HD Client

We redesigned the entire client for larger screens, and created a launcher that self-updates.

MapleFresh HD Client

One installer gets you the redesigned client, the launcher and all game data. After that, the launcher keeps you on the latest patch by itself.

Antivirus blocking it? That's a false alarm on the old game client. Add a folder exclusion before you install (step 2 below). How to do it

How to install

  1. Download the installer

    Use the orange button above. If it's slow, try one of the mirrors.

  2. Add an antivirus exclusion first

    Windows Defender may wrongly delete MS.exe. Before you install, open Windows Security → Virus & threat protection → Manage settings → Exclusions → Add an exclusion → Folder, and pick C:\Games\MapleFresh (create the folder first). Step-by-step help

  3. Run it and pick that folder

    Install into C:\Games\MapleFresh, or another folder you excluded, rather than Program Files.

  4. Open the launcher

    It checks for updates and downloads the latest patch before letting you play.

  5. Log in and pick a channel

    Use your MapleFresh account. Don't have one yet? Create it here.

On a Mac? The client is Windows-only. Some players run it through CrossOver or Whisky, but we can't officially support that.

My antivirus blocked or deleted the game (MS.exe keeps getting flagged)

This is a false positive. The v62 game client uses old-style protection and patching that antivirus programs flag as "potentially unwanted", even though there's no virus in it. Exclude your game folder once and it won't be flagged again:

  1. Open Windows Security → Virus & threat protection → Manage settings.
  2. Scroll to Exclusions → Add or remove exclusions → Add an exclusion → Folder.
  3. Pick your game folder (for example C:\Games\MapleFresh).
  4. Already deleted? Go to Virus & threat protection → Protection history, open the MS.exe entry → Actions → Restore. Or just open the launcher again: it re-downloads missing files.

Prefer a command? Open PowerShell as administrator and run (change the path to your folder):

Add-MpPreference -ExclusionPath "C:\Games\MapleFresh"

Using another antivirus (Avast, AVG, Norton, McAfee...)? Add the same folder to its "exceptions" or "exclusions" list. Only exclude the folder you installed MapleFresh into, and only download the installer from this page.

Windows SmartScreen warns about the installer
Click More info, then Run anyway. Only ever download the installer from this page, and compare the SHA-256 above if you're unsure.
The launcher is stuck updating
Close the launcher and open it again as administrator. Still stuck? Post in the Help & Support forum with a screenshot.

Install the latest DirectX End-User Runtime and the Visual C++ Redistributables from Microsoft, then restart your PC.
Can I use an old v62 client?
No. The rebuilt HD client and launcher are required to connect to MapleFresh.
