[Ayase]

I am well aware that not everyone roaming these boards have been fortunate enough to acquire a beta key for Aion's upcoming beta, but the ones who have are scattered enough to warrant information presented in the form of this elegant new thread. Our Beta forums will open in due time, before the actual event takes off, and in the long run serve to inform beta testers of similar matters.

This thread is for those of you who have been unable to patch Aion with the region set to "Europe" in your NCsoft Launcher. You need only to follow these two steps to remedy the situation:

1) Exit the launcher.
2) Re-run the 'aion.exe' installer which you were provided with along with your Beta event key. It should automagically and fairly seamlessly fix the launcher's settings and allow for patching of the 'EU' version.

If you have already installed "Aion (US)" it will work perfectly fine and there is no reason re-download the client even if you are European and/or have access to the EU Beta events - the clients are the same and will work for both. Just make sure that your launcher's regional setting is switched to "Europe" before starting the game if your key is for the EU event, and to "North America" if your key is for the NA event.

If you find that this still doesn't help you with your problem - a fresh install is most definitely a good idea.

Keep in mind that you will not be able to log in before the first Beta event starts on the 5th of June.
