I WANT to run as administrator. I play Aion more than 10 years, i always had problems with the client because of this.
-
The client does not (and should not) need access to administrative functions. It reads files from its local folder and does only write to config files within the same folder.
If you tell us the exact problem we can find a solution for it. You're not the only one who has played since the open beta and there was never any version of Aion that required to be run with administrative privileges, including our current version which we're on since 2016. -
Yes, for example, i cannot take a screenshot in game. Its a typical non-administrator running problem for the client. What can I do with it?
-
Does the chat print an error when you take a screenshot?
-
No, it doesn't. Another example: graphics settings saved but resets after restarting client. It seems that the client does not able to write into config files.
-
Screenshots sometimes are saved to a folder called VirtualStore. It's an annoying Windows thing.
Open explorer and enter%APPDATA%\..\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Beyond Aion
to open it. There should be a screenshot folder.
The issue where your graphics settings do not save are a different problem and can be fixed by creating two empty files calledsystem.cfg
andSystemOptionGraphics.cfg
inside your Aion main directory. -
Checked that folder in AppData, there's nothing inside it.

Its obviously a r/w permission problem... When i ran the original client (Korean) i was able to change my graphics and also i could take a screenshot... And of course i ran it as administrator.The post was edited 1 time, last by dasler ().
