FIXED! Aion requires the DirectX version released after June, 2008

For those of you having the same issue I had with the

Aion requires the DirectX version released after June, 2008
when trying to run the 64 bit client.

After days of trying to figure out what the issue was and replying to over 16 emails from Aion's tech department. I took it upon myself to figure the problem out.

Keep in mind that I shouldn't have had to go through all this trouble to start. Seems that the install has 2 Clients both located conveniently in their bin32 and bin64 folders. To start I was unable to play the game at all until I forced it to play in 32 bit mode by deleting or renaming the bin64 folder. Keeping this in mind I figured something in the bin64 folder was causing the issue.

After installing 5 different directx updates. I found that the d3dx9_38.dll file located in the bin64 folder was way smaller (less than 400k) than the one supplied by the directx web update (more than 4mb). I simply replaced the d3dx9_38.dll in the bin64 folder with the new d3dx9_38.dll. And now 64bit client is working.

I noticed there are numerous people with the same issue and I hope this fix works for you!

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
