Aion 2

Aion 2 runs on Unreal Engine 5, so the first launch compiles shaders and can stutter for a few minutes. This guide covers the settings to lower, how to keep the frame rate steady without an in-game cap, and how to fix lag on a weak PC.

Can you run Aion 2 on a low end PC?

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600 or Intel Core i5-10500
• GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti
• RAM: 8 GB
• VRAM: 4 GB
• Storage: 100 GB
• OS: Windows 10 or 11, with DirectX 12

Hardware at or below these specs will need the lowest graphics options, and you may still see drops in busy scenes.

Best Aion 2 settings for low end PCs

Start by setting the graphics options to their lowest values. Then raise only the ones your PC handles well.

• Upscaler: Pick TSR first. It works on any GPU and draws the game at a lower resolution, which saves GPU work. DLSS needs an Nvidia RTX card, and FSR 4 needs a recent AMD card. The game doesn’t let you force DLSS 4.
• Frame rate cap: Aion 2 has no in-game frame cap, so skip this step and use V-Sync instead.
• V-Sync: Turn it on. It locks frames to your monitor’s refresh rate, which steadies the picture and stops screen tearing.
• Window mode: Set it to borderless windowed.

Change one setting at a time and play for a few minutes after each change. That way you can see which change helped and which one didn’t.

How to fix Aion 2 stuttering and FPS drops

Aion 2 is an Unreal Engine 5 game, so the first launch compiles shaders. Let that finish, and expect hitches for the first few minutes.

• Install the game on an SSD if you can. It needs 100 GB of storage, and an SSD loads it faster than a hard drive.
• Close background apps, such as browsers and overlays from launchers.
• Update your GPU driver from the official site: Nvidia, AMD or Intel.
• On a laptop, plug in the power cable and set the power mode to best performance.

After you update a GPU driver, restart the PC before you test the game. That makes sure the new driver is fully loaded.

How to fix Aion 2 lag

Lag from low frame rate and lag from a slow connection feel alike. Your character reacts late in both cases, so watch the picture to tell them apart. If it stutters at the same moment, the PC is the cause, so go back to the graphics settings above. If the picture stays smooth and only your actions lag, the connection is the cause.

For the connection:

• Use a wired Ethernet cable instead of Wi-Fi.
• Close large downloads, game updates and streams on your network, including on other devices.
• Restart your router.

If the lag stays after all of this, the cause is the connection to the game’s servers. No graphics setting on your PC can fix that, so give the router and the wired connection a fair test first.

Aion 2 FAQ

Can Aion 2 run on a low end PC?

Aion 2 lists an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti with 4 GB of VRAM as its minimum graphics card, plus 8 GB of RAM and a Ryzen 5 2600 or Core i5-10500. Anything near those specs will need the lowest graphics options to hold a steady frame rate.

Does Aion 2 have an FPS cap?

No. Aion 2 has no in-game frame cap. Turn on V-Sync instead. It locks frames to your monitor's refresh rate, which steadies the picture and stops screen tearing.

Which upscaler should I use for Aion 2 on a low end PC?

Use TSR. It works on any GPU. DLSS needs an Nvidia RTX card and FSR 4 needs a recent AMD card. Upscalers draw the game at a lower resolution and rebuild the image, which saves GPU work.

How do I fix Aion 2 lag?

Lag from low frame rate and lag from a slow connection feel alike. If the picture stutters at the same moment, lower your graphics settings. If only your actions lag, use a wired connection, close large downloads and streams, and restart your router.
