– Start of list : Aion Errors and solutions –

Problem #1 : Aion Crashes on or after User Agreement
Solution A : Try disabling your firewall. Especially Norton users

Problem #2 : Aion Crashes on Server select screen
Solution A: Try Solution for problem #1 (disabling firewall)

Problem #3 : Aion randomly Crashes in-game. Usually accompanied by error messages regarding aion.bin
Solution  A: (as posted by Jatorious)

I was playing around with settings – and if you COPY(!) paste a backup to your desktop..then delete the Aion.bin from your directory. you can go into the NClauncher – right click on aion – and press ‘repair-consistency check’.

It will then proceed to ensure your aion folder has all the right files in it to function correctly.
Start the game after it’s finished and this should create a new Aion.Bin

Solution B : (as posted by xerious)
If you are running AION on Windows Vista and AION randomly crashes, update your Vista copy to SP2 and update your Directx copy to AT LEAST June2008 build (meaning any directx version not earlier  than June2008). These options should be available in your Windows update menu if you still dont have them. Also, update your Video card drivers to the latest.

Solution C : (as posted by honesty)
Uninstall AION, and reinstall ONLY AFTER doing a FULL uninstall via Safe mode, and running RM afterwards.

Solution D : (as posted by Zarenthar)
I was able to fix my crashing by lowering my texture detail in graphic options to the lowest setting. Not really ideal but at least I can play until the issue gets resolved.

Solution E : (as posted by Lisanta)
If you bought the NCsoft version,
1: Open NCSOFT launcher
2: Right-CLick AION
3: go to repair(consistancy check)

Problem #3 : Steam/NCsoft version of Aion Crashes
Solution A : (as posted by Lisanta)

1: If you bought the game through steam follow these steps!
2: right click AION; click properties;
3. Click the LOCAL FILES Top Tab, and click “verify integrity of game cache”

Problem #4 :  Drop rate is significantly low compared to what your system is capable of
Try Solution B and D of Problem #3

Problem #5 : Aion Freezes at logon screen
Solution A : try Solution A of Problem #1
Solution B : (as posted by deathdwellshere)

delete the whole bin32 file located in the aion file.

then go to nc launcher and right click aion and repair.

this normally works. hope it does for all of you.

Solution C : (as posted by Gonlaren)

If you are using a laptop that uses Conextant Lan Cards

It appears to be laptops with Conexant sound cards. It appears this card has a problem initializing for use with Aion.

Please try going into the Windows Device Manager (Press the Windows Key and ‘Pause” on the keyboard – this will load the system properties. Then on the hardware tab click Device Manager)

Once there click the plus next to “Sound, video and game controllers”. Then right-click on the Conexant sound card and choose disable.

This should allow you to load and play the game.

In order to try to get sound to work for the game however you will need to contact your laptop manufacturer for information on updating your sound card drivers. Otherwise you may want to consider a USB sound device such as USB headphones.

Problem #6 : aion.bin and CrySystem.dll – Loading failed errors (Crysystem.dll Invalid acess to memory / an Access Violation in module CrySystem.dll at …)
Solution A:

Gameguard can cause aion.bin errors on exit and during in-game, try to disable GG (Gameguard)

Solution B : (as posted by Kbo)

Disable your anti-virus. Every startup issue I’ve had with Aion has been due to anti-virus software mistaking Aion (or GameGuard when it was used, but that’s a different issue) programs as viruses. Just this morning my Aion decided to stop loading. That’s when I noticed McAfee had “detected” an Artemis Trojan as Aion.bin and removed the file completely. To fix this, I had to disable McAfee Live Protection, then Repair my Aion client. After that I was able to start up without an issue.

Problem #7 : Aion Install errors
Solution A : If you bought the physical copy of the game, The CDs may be corrupted. Try to copy the contets the CD/DVD to your hard drive to check if the disks are unreadable on some sectors
Solution B : If you downloaded the game via steam or other digital download methods, try to delete all the install files on your HD and restart the download

Problem #8 : Aion Crashes on Startup / Aion error “Failed to connect… try again…)
Solution A : Disable your Anti-virus, or Firewall
Solution B: Try to disable Gameguard

Problem #9 : Aion Error message : “NSIS Error. The installer you are trying to use is corrupted or incomplete. This could be result of a damaged disk, a failed download or a virus” or “Installer integrity check has failed. Common causes include incomplete download and damaged media. Contact the installer’s author to obtain a new copy.”

   When loading up Aion, it gets to the splash screen with the man with the wings and the game freezes my pc. Unable to regain control of pc and have to do hard reset in order to get back into windows. This only ocurs for aion, no trouble with Age of conan, Lord of the Rings Online and other MMos that I have played. The game works on my laptop, and using the same copy of aion that works on the laptop on my pc still causes the game to freeze my pc.

   I just bought AION today and im having troubles running it on my Windows 7 computer. Installation went fine, my computer can handle the game (i7, 4gb ram, ATI 4870) but it specifically wont work with windows 7 . Aion just crashes back to desktop after the splash image appears, screen turns black then boom… nothing. Good thing i can dual boot to Vista and play the game from there with no problems but i dont really want to boot to Vista anymore since i’ll be getting rid of it soon to get more space and get rid of the loader phase at startup.

   aion randomly freezes on me when i play the game. it doesnt seem to have any specific action or place that makes it freeze. the music continues and the game stays frozen for 30 seconds up to 1 min 20 seconds at a time (it’s frozen so much that i actually got a stop watch out to see how long they lasted) then after the freeze the game seems to “catch up” and run fine for another couple minutes. I know it’s not net connection becuase i have a person playing off same connection as me with a different comp and they arent getting any issues…. if anyone has any insight to this plz help!
   My specs are
   AMD Athalon 4850e dual core 2.5 GHz
   4 gigs RAM
   Windows Vista SP2
   Nvidia Geforce 9200 (with latest drivers installed, tried updating them to new ones still didnt work)

   I am running W7 64 bit, and my client has worked fine. Try to repair the game via the ncsoft client(right click on aion-repair), I started crashing after the new patch, repairing it seemed to work. Next thing to try is making sure Aion is allowed through the firewall. If that still doesn’t work, I would try for NCsoft support and Google.

   I just bought Aion today. i checked if my computer had the requirements and it did. i’m alright with the fact it wouldn’t be the greatest to run on my computer but anyway. After i hit Play, and the box with the man w/ his wings comes up, this pops up “Aion Client – Aion Client has encountered a problem and needs to close. we are sorry for the inconvenience”. i truthfully do not want to spend the hours downloading it again.

   Any Suggestions?

    i get this message when i try to start the game “cannot creat file c\windows\exe.bat aion no access”
    enny solution?

13. Jeko — December 7, 2009 @ 4:29 pm
    

    I have a weird one I haven’t managed to figure out yet. Randomly, every 15-45 minutes Aion will alt-tab itself to the desktop. This will happen in the middle of battles, harvesting, crafting, or even when I’m idling around not clicking on or typing anything at all. Suddenly *BAM* staring at the desktop and Aion is minimized. It doesn’t crash, I can click on it and resume, but it’s VERY annoying. Any suggestions?
