The Known Issues section focuses on the major issues that have significantly impacted the game and community, and which our team is actively addressing. Please note that while we aim to cover the most impactful issues, this list will not encompass every reported issue. Check back regularly for updates on the status of these issues and information on resolved issues, or any new issues that may have been added.

Here you’ll find a list of known and resolved issues from the v.263 - Carcion Octo Fest update:

Known Issues:

• Kaiser
  • Setting Kaiser as a favorite character through the Fast Login UI will disconnect the client. The Fast Login UI has been temporarily disabled.
• Hayato
  • The skill description for Jin Quick Draw has not been updated to reflect the new skill changes.
• Cash Shop
  • When purchasing items in the Cash Shop, Reward Points and Maple Points can both be selected as a method of payment and an error will popup. Cash Shop items can only be purchased with either Reward Points or Maple Points. Please make sure to select only one option.
  • Purchasing Cash Shop items with mesos may result in a popup stating that "You don't have enough cash". However, please note that if a purchase is successful, the meso will be correctly deducted. We recommend avoiding from making meso related purchases in the Cash shop while we investigate this issue.
  • Cash Shop items purchased with NX are missing for some players after the maintenace on September 24, 2025. For affected players, all missing items will be restored in the next maintenance. Thank you for your patience and we apologize for the inconvenience.
• Common
  • Odium Familiar [Disintegrating Test Subject] is being displayed as [Laha] Familiar. 
    • This is a visual issue only and will be fixed in the next major update.
  • In the EU region, Scania is visible on the world selection screen and clicking on it would sometimes cause the client to not work as intended. If Scania was selected, we suggest to either log in through the Fast Login UI or restarting the client.
  • While in the world selection screen, the world types are sometimes not visible. We suggest changing regions then selecting your region again for the world types to appear.

Resolved Issues:

• September 25, 2025
  • Resolved an issue where exiting the game with the Enhance Before/After Stats UI open could prevent players from using enhancement materials upon logging back in. 
    • Please note that players that experienced this issue will have used enhancement materials returned to them during the next maintenance.

  • Resolved an issue where using the [MVP Benefits] Epic Dungeon Express Pass would deduct Maple Points upon use.
  • Resolved an issue where the 'Supreme' mode would not appear in the Lotus 'Boss Entry UI' despite accepting the Supreme Challenge in the 'Champion Challenge' event.
