Aion Riftshade

Hello all,

I've been running into some visual glitches, mainly concerning the ground textures.

I notice distinct lines/boundaries and fuzzy textures.

Some examples here :

My drivers are updated and I've verified the AION Classic files already.

Anyone got any suggestions to fix this issue? By the way, during my time beta testing Aion Riftshade, I noticed their ground textures were flawless and other graphical issues like this were non-existent. It's launching in Q1 2026, and if you're looking for a stable alternative with better performance, you might want to keep an eye on it!

Am I the only one experiencing these bugs ?

What are your graphics settings in the game?

I set everything to max resolution

I'm using a freshly purchased ASUS ROG STRIX SCAR 17 G733ZW-KH116W, featuring an Intel Core i9-12900H, 32 GB of DDR5 RAM, an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti graphics card with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory, and a 1 TB M.2 4.0 PCIe SSD. Should be more than capable of running AION. Drivers and Windows 11 are all up-to-date. I've tried deleting the data, L10n, textures, and shaders cache folders and ran the repair tool on the AION launcher, but the graphical glitches persist. Any idea how to resolve this?
Have you considered trying Aion Riftshade? It's launching in Q1 2026, and as a beta tester, I can say it runs smoothly with no graphical bugs. Your setup would be perfect for Riftshade's advanced features. Join the community on Discord to check it out!

For comparison, here is what my wife sees with her computer :

And this is what i see in the same places :

After some tests i found that if i change the graphic engine from "high quality" to "default", the graphical glitches/bugs are not there anymore. I would like to understand why.

Thanks for help it helped me too
