repairing and prepairing for errors

Postby Alokae on Mon Aug 31, 2009 4:39 pm

After some post I read, I noticed most of the errors could be avoided and repaired using the following steps:

Error fixing guide for Aion online:
First: when you install the game, make a backup of the install directory (the one you installed the game in). -backup= copy-paste it to an other location on your hard-drive. I use my external drive-
Every time a patch occurs, make a new backup of that directory.
Always keep your 2 latest backups (one of the working version, one of the just-patched version)

that way when anything goes wrong(patch error, corrupted files...) follow the steps below:
  1. Delete your current Aion Online folder (the install path)
  2. Copy the backup folder to a new location (the folder you want your Aion client to be in -this can be the same folder you used to have for your original install path-)
  3. If patch is necessary, download it and apply the patch, it'll ask for the install path, pick your freshly copied folder -hint: download your patches from external locations, this way when anything goes wrong, you can use these steps to fix it-
  4. Open NCsoft launcher
  5. Right click Aion Online and click "Properties"
  6. Click "Browse" and select your new Aion folder
  7. Allow the compatibility test to apply
  8. Play
If anything goes wrong, retry, or try using your second backup (the one from the previous version)

Feel free to copy-paste or use this in your own post or even to make a sticky. It works, it's how I got it working every time. (tested 3 times so far)
Yours faithfully,
