Some graphic settings are locked on high resolution(above 1080p)

[Alleria 3]

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!

PS. I am not a native English speaker if any expression were confusing please let me know.

Hello!

Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do to help you in this situation. Aion is quite an old game and problems with new monitors cannot be solved. Also, the Administration does not recommend making any modifications to the game client. 

We hope for your understanding.

Thank you for your reply. But can you please tell these information to the administrators? There do be a solution that just need the adminstrators do a few changes for the launcher or even just some configrations. I am not requiring an instant fix but why can't the administrators take a glance at the potential solution and just tell players the technical reason why they won't fix it? As I googled the problem, I found some other private server(click here) faced the same problem but in contrast that admin accepted the player's advice and fixed the problem. I really like euroaion server and hope it be better, so please tell these information to the administrator. I am looking forward to a technical feedback, thank you!

This problem was reported for 2 years now and was always ignored, compare to adding proxies, solve ping problem or any different problem that admins had with server over the years this problem can be easily fixed in one wednesday technical break. There may be few people that reported this problem on forum, but a lot more have it. Game may be old but every year, now in 2023, high resolution gaming becomes more and more popular, and I don't think that people play only Aion, so in time this problem will become more common, so if admins can just repair it from open souce code from Git Hub I think they should consider doing it.

Was this ever solved? I read through topics but it was ignored most of the part. Soon most of the gamers will switch to 1440p at least, and seems like only .dll-s or parameters need to be replaced.

Hello! Thanks for coming back on this issue. Aion is indeed an old game, but the solution for fixing this is provided in the thread. The real problem is the misconfigured launcher and Easy Anti-cheat that does not accept the fix.

If the problem is money related, for example Easy Anti-cheat requires a fee to fulfill the requests / modifications for EuroAion I would say some people would happily donate to help you in this.

As a workaround for the others who stuck with 1080p: Try setting supersampling in your GPU driver, it helps quite a bit. But make sure you understand what is supersampling first.

March 2026, I wanted to bring this topic back for consideration.

Aion still has beautiful visuals! ♥️, and with more players now using 1440p or higher resolutions, it would be great to know if there is any possibility to revisit the graphic settings limitation in a safe and official way.

I understand this was discussed before and that Aion is an old game, so I am not asking for an immediate fix or encouraging any unofficial client modifications. I just wonder if, with current tools and AI-assisted development/debugging, this issue could be reviewed again from a fresh technical perspective 🙌

Maybe there is still no viable solution. But if there is any safe way to improve this through the launcher, client parameters, or official adjustments, I think many players would really appreciate it 👊.

Thank you for your work keeping EuroAion alive and for considering it.

It's impossible to change the graphics on a project without the source code. The way the Koreans designed the game that year will remain the same.

I agree that changing the game’s core graphics would not be possible without the source code. But I was referring more to the existing graphic options that seem to be locked at higher resolutions.

From what was shared earlier in this topic, it looks like the limitation might be related to launcher/client parameters or anti-cheat compatibility, not necessarily to redesigning or redeveloping the graphics engine.

So my only request is whether this specific limitation could be reviewed again from the official side, in a safe way.

Maybe it is still not possible, and that is understandable. But I think it would be worth a fresh technical look.
