The test results for this version are very old, and as such they may not represent the current state of Wine. Please consider submitting a new test report.
Selected Test Results (selected in 'Test Results' table below)
What works
I can start the installer (setup_20120224.exe) and choose a language. Then I'm asked if I want to install DotNet 2.0. If I choose "no" because I have wine-mono installed the setup stops and I'm back at the console. If I choose "yes" it downloads DotNet 2.0 and I can choose a path to install Aion to. But then it won't continue and doesn't start downloading the client. After a while I get an error message and the installer stops.
What does not
I can't download and install the game so I couldn't test the game itself like character creation, gameplay, etc.
What was not tested
the game itself.
Additional Comments
I was able to download and play Aion with previous versions of wine like 1.5.3. Of course I have all the extras from winetricks installed, like: d3dx9 vcrun2005 vcrun2008 gdiplus corefonts wine-mono.
If you get Aion to work an any operating system with wine, please
submit the test and put on the additional comments how did you get the
game to work! Any operating system test it's appreciated, but please,
if there are already tests with your same operating system, same wine
version, same Aion version and same things done and doesn't work, don't
post it! We really appreciate your help and we would like to get this
game working with wine on as many OS's we can!
Regards,
Stef

If you are submitting test data or possible bug report/solution please submit also your hardware specification and installed closed drivers if any.

Does anyone knows the solution of this problem on FreeBSD?
(Sorry for my English :) )
Tried to upgrade to 3.x. The Launcher now forces the install of Pando Media Booster. For me, the PMB install failed & last I checked it doesn't work with wine. The FAQ says its required for Aion updates (at the present time).
So, 3.x is looking like garbage unless someone wanted to use a *cough* workaround like patching the game with windoze.
Seems to work mostly fine.
by Scott on Sunday April 1st 2012, 13:59
The only problem I'm having with the game is after a little bit the launcher will crash, and a bit later, the game sometimes crashes (not always).
As for all of you using some ip command and such, there is a much easier way to go about that: have wine launch the exe: /Program Files/NCsoft2/Launcher/NCLauncher.exe with the flag /LaunchGame=Aion
This will launch the launcher (which for me is just a black window) and have it auto-launch the Aion game.
Anyone got something new on the crashes?
by Sir Robin on Thursday March 15th 2012, 20:25
They seem to occur more often in highly populated areas, especially when entering them and/or all those people are cramped up at a tiny space. Playing late at night when few people are online seems to help a lot...
In the crash log the game generates, it usually says the reason was an access violation in d3dx9_38.dll, so it might to be graphics-related.
Cannot connect to authentication server
by bob on Wednesday March 14th 2012, 14:53
Ok,
so I followed every guide I could find, and eventually it is installed, but when I try to login to my account (EU), I always get "cannot connect to authentication server", whatever the options I put.
In fact it work once, but I think the parameters were the same, and now it does not work anymore.
My options are as follow :
wine bin32/aion.bin -ip:206.127.147.28 -port:2106 -lang:enu -cc:2 -noauthgg -noweb
Silver
by Feldspar on Wednesday February 8th 2012, 1:25
I thought I had rated my Jan 29 2012 submission as Silver. Maybe admin changed it, maybe not. Anyway, I made a few edits after submitting so I think it just got botched along with the formatting/engrish.
NOT a platinum rating
by Phluffy on Saturday November 19th 2011, 21:27
This game should NOT have a platinum rating. There are too many things
broken, it doesn't install from the box, and I don't believe it updates either, though I hadn't tried yet.
I'm having the following issues:
1. On occasion, my mouse will disappear and then, something (I'm not sure what yet, I believe it's mousing over a certain element) makes it come back.
2. To run the game I have to use the following:
wine /home/tag/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/NCSoft/Aion/bin32/aion.bin -noauthgg -cc:1 -lang:enu -noweb -ncg -ip:64.25.35.103 -port:2106
So I'm not sure how some others have reported just being able to run the aion.bin without args because this results in errors with Game.dll, or unable to authenticate/find the server, depending on what args are left out.
3. I see a little artifacting in waters and some other environmentals (some trees). The artifcating is usually quickly flashing, bright colors in geometrical shapes.
4. Something causes some text in the game (tracked quests on the right, quest descriptions, and zone names when entering another area) to squish on top of eachother, making them pretty much unreadable, and when it's happening you can't click links in the quest descriptions (to locate, for example), which makes questing a pain. Restarting the game fixes this for an unknown time. I've posted a picture of this that is pending review.
5. I'm getting the following in the console when the game is running, these scroll _a lot_ and often:
err:d3d_surface:surface_load Not supported on scratch surfaces.
err:gdi:alloc_gdi_handle out of GDI object handles, expect a crash
6. The last one, based on what it says, is probably related to the crashes I've been getting. They happen once every hour, or so, but in no set time frame, or during no particular events in the game, that I can tell. I've posted the full output of the crash to here (as it's quite large with the memory and traces): pastebin.com/yUMsRt09
Please comment on any of these issues below if there is a fix, or something you'd like me to try. After two weeks or so I'll start posting these as bugs on this page; I may also write my own review of my experiences. This game is playable, but silver rating AT BEST.

New graphics?
by Alex on Friday June 24th 2011, 10:36
Hi,
I just got Aion working following the 2.0 guide.
I was looking forward to the new graphics in 2.5 but even on highest settings it just looks "decent".
Does wine not support those good looking graphics? Do I have to install some additional drivers or so?
Thanks!
