Running AION on VirtualBox on Mint 18 T400

Greetings;

I am attempting to run Aion via VirtualBox (IE11Win7) on a Thinkpad T400 with Mint 18. I get launch start-up that on first splash image pops up:

Aion 1023
Failed to set the graphic accelerator preferences - the system cannot find the path specified.

Some Linux game sites claim that deleting the L10N folder or a system.ovr file remedies the situation, or to even totally reinstall with Mint 17 since Mint 18 is supposed to be radically different from prior versions from what VirtualBox expects in subtle ways, but I want to double check with the mavens here before this non-techie tries any surgery.

I previously had CrossOver 15.1.3 installed and when I installed Aion on it it actually got to the main log-in screen but the graphics were scrambled as were totally corrupted text/fonts. Hence I'm trying VirtualBox.

Any tips much appreciated!!

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
