Howto: Fix Borderlands Co-Op Timeout

I know, I know. This fix is all over the web right now, but I decided that this deserved a quality post. (+ will drive me a lot of traffic!)
What is the issue?
When you host a server, other players can’t join. After 15 seconds they will just timeout. Even inviting friends into a singleplayer champagne won’t work, [...]

Howto: Aion + Steam

NOTE: Modifying your client may lead to suspension of your account, please be careful.
Few weeks ago I wrote a guide how to make XFire detect Aion and enable the ingame feature. Seems like it helped pretty many people out, so I decided to write the same for Steam. This will work even for people who [...]

Howto: Launch Aion Without The NCLauncher

Today I’m going to teach how to launch Aion without the NCLauncher. There are be 2 options. One is a little bit easier than the another one. More below.
What’s the point of this?

Aion will launch even if the patch server is down
It will start the client immediately without going to the NCLauncher first => a [...]

Weekly Aion Theory Injection #2

One week has passed since I posted my first weekly aion theory injection. Here’s your next fix.
#1 [Assassin] Killer’s Eye and Devotion buffs do NOT stack

If you use both of these skills at the same time, they won’t stack. So while both are active and you use a skill, you will only get the damage [...]

Howto: Extract Aion .pak files

.pak?
It’s the extension for compressed files found in the Aion directory. Without compressions, the game size would be over ~40GB instead ~15GB. However, inside the .pak files, stuff like images, soundtracks, BGM, etc. the game needs to run is located. In this guide I will teach you how to extract and open them.

Waysto: Reduce Your Aion Ping

So many people were QQ’ing about their super-high pings lately, so I decided to share some tweaks with you! My average ping in Aion is 25ms btw. (to check your ping ingame, type /ping in the chat)
Let’s start with my two favourite tweaks
TPCAckFrequency and TCP NoDelay are disabled by default. Enabling them may lower your [...]

Howto: Reset Aion Video Settings Outside The Client

During the beta I’ve met few people that couldn’t launch their game, because they changed some video settings that weren’t supported by their video card w/e. Once you can’t start up the game, changing back the settings is not possible within the client. One possible solution would be reinstalling Aion, but it takes long and [...]

Howto: Aion.bin to Aion.exe

NOTE: Modifying your client may lead to suspension of your account, please be careful.
What for?
Some applications like nHancer require a .exe file of a game in order to create profiles. Even the official NVidia control panel can only detect .exe files. (I’m an NVidia fanboy, so I won’t mention ATI. :P) This is bad, since [...]
