Aion: The Tower Of Eternity

Europe. BTW just changed my game from german to english and E VOILA, the game is back in Korean again! :lol Can t change the language options again (doesn t change anything). So I am back on my Korean client which I can t change to any other language. NC Launcher still says I have the north american version, even though all my OS and Aion settings are set to english/german.

This game just wants to mock me now I think.

Have you tried uninstalling the NCsoft launcher and reinstalling it instead of just the aion client?
 
I don't think they will have enough servers for launch. I hope this doesn't turn into a scenario like WoW when it first launched and they had to add like 20 new servers because they didn't expect the demand. With 400,000 preorders already and the amount of servers right now, seems like they will get blasted on launch date when people who didn't preorder get the game.

Yes, already did that, nothing changed unfortunally.

Funny fact: Now that my game is now Korean again I can login. When I reinstall to get the US/EU language version I can t log in with the very same id/pass.

Same thing here and same feeling. Downloaded and ran the launcher again (thanks Khrno) and still no way to update to 1.5.0.6. Dammit.
 
Wow, I got like 3-4 problems at same time lol

First it wants to update to 1.0.0.0 patch which turns your game to Korean, then when I force start it I get 1024 error, and when I try repair at last stages it gives me error 38 or something like that and says I can repair it but does same thing all over again lol...
Not a good start, I don't think this will be fixed by tomorrow night...
And can't reinstall game due to slow conection and it taking like 2 days to download without patches lol

All worked well through CB and OB

Now error 5 when repairing.. awesome lol

So who's stacking their canned foods for the upcoming week, or preparing otherwise to manic leveling?
For once this is one MMO I will not rush, I always find that I burn myself out way too quickly if I dedicate too much time to the game, I want this to last me more then a few months.

Not even forcing the update manually? Right-click on Aion and select Check for Updates.

If that didn't work either, then you might want to look for a mirror of the update, I can't tell you where, but pretty sure it has to be on a few legion websites, just make sure to scan it with an AV that doesn't gives false positives.


Edit: There seems to be a mirror for 1.5.0.6 in AionSource

I have work until wednesday so I'm just gonna try to get past lv10 these days, I don't really like to play after work, but then I'll have the rest of the week and the weekend free so I'm going to stay home grinding and get as close as 30 as I can.

"Aion (1024) failed to initialize the game"

any chance this will be resolved before the head start?

If updating to 1.5.0.6 or redownloading the launcher doesn't help, all the people having random problems should contact NCsoft support (look for the US site if you aren't EU) directly.

Devs are recommending that since they seem to be particular cases, although many people are having problems, it's not a global issue and they need the feedback to be able to issue a fix.
 
I'm an idiot. I read that patch 0.0.5.0 to 1.0.0.0 will turn your game to korean and stuff, but after I installed that all erros went away, including 1024 one >.<
Could have avoided lot of anger and time spent on researching this lol, oh well...
Got my name anyway :)
 
Just reinstalled the game and made sure everything in my OS etc. is set to german. I still get the Korean client. Have tried about every workaround there is in the internet but every single one of them fails me. When I can t play tomorrow on a English/German/(hell even French I would be fine with even though I don t speak it well) server, I will be angry ...
 
I'm very happy to say that my Legion decided to roll on Triniel so I look forward to helping out or grouping with any fellow GAFers in the future. Feel free to add me to your buddy list. I'll be under the name Hiphop.

Talk to the NCsoft support http://uk.support.ncsoft.com/cgi-bin/nceurope_eng.cfg/php/enduser/ask.php
 
FINALLY:

1) Closed NCSoft launcher and renamed Aion into something else, like AionTest
2) Ran NCSoft launcher and clicked on Aion (which doesn't have North America) and chose the directory as AionTest.
3) NCSoft Launcher downloaded a 300MB patch and patched the game, I checked it, it works.
4) Closed NCsoft Launcher and Steam and renamed the AionTest back to Aion, with this, Aion shows as north america again on Launcher
5) Double clicked on "normal" Aion again and selected the Aion folder as install directory. Now it only shows "normal" Aion on launcher.


Taken from the Steam forum.
Works for me! :lol
What a ********* hassle.
English client and I can login with my usual login informations.
 
I just bought the regular version from steam a few hours ago and everything was smooth. I'm now ready to play whenever this shit goes live.

Jebus, it finally worked. But guess what ? Time to learn korean...

Any member her having solved the korean language problem ?

At least my time spent on Crysis would prove fruitful...

I got it fixed, thanks. The easiest way to do so has been mentionned earlier. But very briefly :

1) right-cilck your Aion (North America) icon in the lanucher and select properties
2) change the language setup from french or whatever you chose by default in english
3) game runs in english, better than nothing

Personally, I feel comfrotable with it. Didn't try to put it back on french though...

Awesome. Nice to hear that its fixed. Wished the Headstart was 8AM (GMT) instead of 8PM (GMT)! :lol

I'm glad it wasn't at 8AM because I'm currently at work and won't be back until 7PM :p

any word on trial accounts?
i could not find any information about those :(

You typically won't see trial accounts for several months after launch at a minimum. Developers count on impulse buyers a lot to fuel an initial surge.
 
we're almost there! although if it's like the other MMO's I've played at launch (actually FFXI was successful and it had similar conditions to Aion) it'll be another hour or more after the servers come up
