If it is the region settings, that is in the File tab of your NCSoft Lancher.

Goto File, select Settings, then the Advanced Tab, you will find the region here, make sure that it is Europe.

If it is already set to Europe there may be an issue where you have purchased the NA version in which case you will be on the American servers, so you will need to change accordingly.

Hope this has some results for ya.

Hey dude,

I live in Doornpoort Pretoria, If you are willing to drive and have an External HDD you are more than welcome to come copy the client from me Smile

We have quite a few members in the Jozi area that Im sure will be more than happy to meet up with you and get this sorted out Smile

I just find it weird that it will try to download the NA version if you bought the EU version... I think its something else.

Does your box say EU or NA? (Cant remember if it is even stated on the box).
If it does say EU then it shouldnt download the NA patch. I cant see how that can happen as the EU version is EU specific and the moment you install the EU AION client it installs the EU NCSoft Launcher...

(Soz I am just rambling)

But yes the best would be to get the client from someone, like I said, if you willing to drive. You can gladly come copy it from me Smile

Tim

Hi

The issue is with the launcher, it's reading your region settings from XP which is set to English US version and then installing the US aion conversion. Same happened to me when I first installed.

But after the launcher update this shouldn't happen anymore but since you experiencing this problem still I made a wall of text for you to go through Suspect

First solution is to change your PC to english UK but I doubt that you have the cab files to complete the change. If this isn't working for you read the workaround solution below

Workaround: Reinstall everything but do not launch the game. Once the install is complete create a copy of the installation folder and call it something like aion2

Once you have two copies on your pc launch the game, it will try and update immediately just cancel the update and delete the game from your launcher. Will pop up something about that you need to uninstall the game, ignore that you can do it later. What you need to do is add a Aion(UK) game manually with your launcher, direct that new game to the Aion2 folder and launch it. It will download all the uk patches.

Please note that while you doing updates, if the update contains "NA" in the filename it means you are busy downloading the wrong patch. If you follow the above workaround it will download the "UK" patches and you'll be playing in no time

Also you need to do a proper uninstall of the first installation you made so you are only left with the UK version in that Aion2 directory

cool stuff! Glad you finally got sorted.

My PC went boo-boo and trying to play on my spare (read dinosaur) is just too frustrating atm. Look out for Sinnerfury or Cayli for an inv when you're online Smile
