Graphical settings issue

Hey all,

I am having many issues with the client, most I can work with/around, but a few are driving me insane and are "show stoppers".

So here is the composition of issues that are creating the perfect storm.

1) Opening or closing, or even applying settings locks up the screen for 2 to 5 minutes. It literally just seizes up and I have to wait. The music keeps playing, and the process keeps running instructions and I see the allocated memory dynamically changing.

That wouldn't be so bad, I mean you set the settings and you are good right...?

2) Graphic settings to not persist through client restarts. I have ran as administrator, blanket set every file as writable(not read only).

So every time I start the client I have to click settings, wait up to 5 minutes for the window to show up, make changes with the screen locking up when I change the resolution and then again when I apply the other settings.

Now we are at anywhere from 6 to 15 minutes to get the client graphical settings set... but wait, there's more!

3) Some of the settings are greyed out. I understand this to be the client limiting me to settings that will keep the game in a "playable" state based on my hardware; but I have a skylake I5 processor and dual GTX980ti in SLI. I have yet to find a game I can't run in 4k resolution with all settings set to max, excluding external DSR and AA.

I can't seem to trick the game into giving me those settings. I am running the most up to date drivers for my GPU, non beta. The FIXED FPS setting is not checked, this blocks all slider function, not just the few that I am seeing. All my Windows10 dirvers are up to date.



Any help would be appreciated. I am more wanting to be able to set everything to max, than the 5 minute wait for option pane access, or the persistence through restarts.

Greetings, Daeva, We understand your frustration and appreciate you reaching out to the community for help. Not receiving a verification email is a common issue that many players have encountered across various games. We’ve checked the forums and have a few potential fixes you can try. Hopefully, one of these will help you get into the game!

Possible Fixes for Verification Email Issue

Check Your Email Folders: This may seem obvious, but it's the most common solution. Please check your spam, junk, and other filtered folders. Sometimes, a legitimate email can be mistakenly flagged and sent there. Add Aion to Your Whitelist: To prevent future emails from being blocked, add the official Aion email address (often something like `noreply@aiononline.com` or an equivalent from NCSoft/Gameforge) to your email account's contact list or whitelist. This tells your email provider that you trust the sender. Try a Different Email Provider: Some email providers, particularly those like Hotmail, Outlook, or Live, are known to be overly aggressive with their spam filters. If you used one of these, consider creating a new account with a different provider, such as Gmail, and try the registration process again. Many players report better success with services like Gmail. Wait for the Email: Depending on server load and other factors, there can sometimes be a significant delay in receiving the verification email. In some cases, it may take several hours or even a full day to arrive. If you've just created your account, we recommend waiting a while longer before assuming it's a bug. Contact Aion Support Directly: If none of the above steps work, the best course of action is to contact the official Aion support team. They have the tools to manually verify your account or provide a direct solution. You can typically find a link to their support portal on the official game website. They will likely ask for your account name and the email address you used. We hope this information helps, and we look forward to seeing you in Atreia soon! Feel free to update us if you find a solution that works for you, as it may help other players with the same problem. Best regards, The Forum Moderator Team
