The same problem was posted in other topics several months ago like:
The second post referred a reddit link which contains a potential fix with a patched version.dll file, it is open sourced:https://github.com/zzsort/Aion-Version-Dll
I tried putting the version.dll into bin64 and create a bat file with:
start aion.bin -unlimited-gfx -lang:ENG -cc:2 -megaphone -noweb -noauthgg -st -charnamemenu -f2p -lbox -ncping -nosatab -aiontv -nobs -60f2p -n20 -oncmsg /SessKey:"" /CompanyID:"11" /ChannelGroupIndex:"-1" -ip:XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX -port:XXXX
only "-unlimited-gfx" was added compared to the official start arguments. It worked, but I cannot login to character selecting screen. I guess the anti cheat program blocked me. So I tried another command:
start ActiveLauncher.exe -unlimited-gfx
I can successfully login this time but the settings were locked as before, so I guess the patched version.dll was not loaded because of blocked by the anti cheat program.
Could official staff please do some fixes? It is frustrated to have a high performanced grahic card but can't set the game grahic to highest level. Since the patched version.dll doesn't contain cheating code, only some little changes on the code of the launcher to allow loading that patch and add the extra start argument by default will help many of our players. Please help us thank you!
