64-bit client stops working after today’s patch

February 8, 2012 at 12:59pm

Per an announcement on the Aion forums this morning by {CC} Nyx, those of us in NA who used the file drop method of enabling the 64-bit Aion client will not be able to run the client. Basically, we’re told that those of us who are experiencing issues after this morning’s patch will have to run a repair in order to successfully launch the game. She explained that this morning’s patch was “to fix some issues regarding glitches and exploits, and some other minor issues” and went on to explain that part of the patch would completely remove the functionality of the 64-bit client.

While I know a lot of people are going to be upset by this (myself being one of them), I can see from their point. Nyx was quite frank in her posts in that thread, and I certainly don’t envy being in that position. My hope is that somewhere down the line, we’ll get a proper 64-bit client like our Korean counterparts have.
