About Aion Help

Troubleshooting for Aion server owners across 5.8, 3.9, 4.5, 4.7.5, 2.7, 3.0, 4.0, 4.7, 4.9, 4.8, 1.9 and 4.6 - connection errors, database problems, client crashes and configuration mistakes.

Most problems posted here come down to a handful of causes: the client pointing at the wrong address, a database the server cannot reach, a missing runtime library, or a port that was never opened. Search before posting - the same Aion errors come up often and usually already have an answer.

Aion private server files, emulators, sources and setup guides run from 2008 onward, covering 2.7, 3.0, 3.5, 3.9, 4.0, 4.6, 4.7.5, 5.1, 5.8, 7.7 and Aion Classic. Named sets include Aion-Lightning 1-Click Servers, Aion-Core 4.7.5.x, AionGermany 5.8 repack, Encom, Beyond Aion 4.8 open source and leaked PTS 5.8 servers; AionCMS and PowerWeb cover the website, UniServerZero bundles Apache and MySQL. Java emulators need JDK 7, MySQL and geodata; the database starts before LoginServer, GameServer and ChatServer. 4.6 PTS files add Server64.exe; 7.7 has C++ files and PTS setup on SQL Server 2017. Setup stalls on NA/EU client mismatch, Win7-Win10 localhost, NoIP and d3d8thk.dll fixes; ports 80, 2106, 7777, 10241.

Common questions

Why will my Aion client not connect to the server?
Nearly always the address the client is pointed at. On many builds the server address sits inside a packed client file rather than a plain text config, so it has to be edited there. Check as well that the server is listening and the port is actually open.
Why will my Aion server not start?
Usually a database it cannot log in to, a missing runtime, or a port already in use by something else. The server console or log normally names the cause on the first failure, and the processes often have to be started in a particular order.
How do I get a useful answer about Aion here?
Post the Aion build you are running, the file set you used, the exact error text and what you have already tried. Threads with that detail get answered; vague ones usually do not.
