Error initializing game

When I try running the game launcher, I get this error:

Code:

moose@debian:~/aion$ mono GamezAion.exe

I have a 'feeling' this isn't compatible with mono.

 

well this is not a problem with the game itself but with the way the gamez launcher was coded. as far as i know it requires .net framework 4.0 so u should get that here
Download Microsoft .NET Framework 4 (Web Installer) from Official Microsoft Download Center

a little surprised though since the wiki mentions the system windows forms in relation with earlier versions of .net framework. anyways u might have to restart ur pc after installing it. it will also run the .net framework optimization after restart to recompile the libraries which is processor intensive so don't be surprised if ur fans get louder and processor usage jumps (takes a few minutes).

if its not this version, i can link the earlier ones too. the bat launcher could run the game on its own and bypass the gamez launcher and its errors but alente doesnt want me giving people that one since we will be pushing client side fixes through the gamez launcher updater xd

good luck

edit: oops this might be more relevant, didnt notice ur not on windows

Alright, installed libmono-winforms2.0-cil package, but now if I try running it, it says "Please reinstall aion, aion.bin not found!", and then I get this error.

I think it's trying to create the file 'aion.bin', but mono has known issues with writing to files which don't exist. In .NET, it would automatically create the file which doesn't exist, but it wont work on linux.
