Safe troubleshooting order

Restart after applying graphics changes, update the GPU driver, disable external overlays for one test and compare native resolution against upscaling. If the problem began after an update, reset the game’s settings before editing text files.

  • Change one setting at a time
  • Record current values
  • Back up configuration files
  • Remove unsupported tweaks before reporting a bug

Treat player-render distance separately

A low distance for other characters may be a client or server performance rule rather than a terrain LOD setting. Raising a scenery value may not change player visibility in large battles.

Frequently asked questions

Is there an official Aion 2 Engine.ini fix?

No universal official global fix is documented. Use only commands verified for your current client version and restore the backup if behavior worsens.

Why can I see terrain but not distant players?

Terrain LOD and player-render distance can use different controls. Large-battle visibility may be limited for performance.
