Easy way to launch Aion Online

Locate your "Aion.bin" file at C:/Program Files/NCsoft/Aion/Bin32/aion.bin and rename it to "Aion.exe" from there the game will launch. However you may need to add arguments for it to connect to the correct IP Address. You can do so by terminal or using q4wine.

hi, do you have an idea on how to actually launch Aion through the Launcher? In my case I get this error:

@Kodama

Can you give your command launching Aion?

well this error message is what I get if I start the Launcher:

Code: Select all

wine .wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Gameforge/NCLauncher/NCLauncher.exe

That's not the correct way to run a program from the command line. http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#run_from_terminal

cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Gameforge/NCLauncher/
wine NCLauncher.exe

Simply install dotnet20 to get the launcher to work correctly. I'd do this with a fresh prefix because I've noticed if I do it with a "not so fresh" prefix it doesn't want to work. DO NOT INSTALL IE6, IE7, or IE8 it'll mess it all up

Oh, and for the error, simply delete Panda Download Manager along with following these instructions.

"I just edited:

drive_c/Program Files/NCsoft/Launcher/Config/Default/Games.xml

and changed all iterations of:

true

To:

false

Then started the Launcher...patch is downloading now (didn't have to manually download

Regardless you can always launch the game with this....assuming you are using the EU version of the game. If you are using the USA version the Ip would be 206.127.147.28.

cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Gameforge/Aion/Bin32/
wine Aion.bin -ip:79.110.83.80 -port:2106 -lang:enu -cc:2 -noauthgg -noweb

Would your program work if you install mono tricks instead of dotnet?
I'm just curious.

1. dotnet20 is installed along with a fresh prefix (but ie8 also)

2. the Launcher works only the first time during download and installtion. Starting it a second time gives me the error you can see in the sreenshot.

3. I'm on Gameforge's free2play version so the path you mentioned:

Code: Select all

drive_c/Program Files/NCsoft/Launcher/Config/Default/Games.xml

doesn't exist in this version.

Mono on Ubuntu 12.04 doesn't want to work at all..it works on Ubuntu 11.10, but somewhere between a alpha and now the final release it lost compatibility. As for other distros, probably.

NCsoft and Gameforge are just different hosts..switch what I put with "NCsoft" to the Gameforge folder that aion is installed to. Since you installed IE8 I'm guessing you get a lot of random "Download popups". At least that is what happens when I install Internet Explore, it tried to download page elements instead of loading them in the browser
