ATI Driver Hotfix:
Quote from: [REB]Trigger on Feb 25, 2010, 11:30:40 PM
A hotfix driver has been released for ATI cards and is available here (http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/ATICatalyst102Hotfix.aspx).
We advise players to follow the recommendation of ATI and only install this if you are experiencing hangs/freezes (i.e. the game becomes unresponsive but does not crash) when attempting to run AVP in DX11/10 mode.
Update:Nvidia Latest Drivers fix various issues:Quote from: perfect organism on Mar 02, 2010, 04:21:36 PM
I cant believe it, but i just installed the new NVIDIA Drivers 196.75 and i still cant believe it...
- No stuttering anymore when i start and play the game under directX11 ;D
- Overall performance seems to be improved and everything is a lot smoother ;)
I didnt try out the DirectX9 mode, but im just happy that the stuttering is gone now.

------------------------------------------------
1. System Requirements
------------------------------------------------
Your computer must meet the following system requirements to run this game.
The game may not run, or you may experience decreased performance on
computers that do not fulfil these requirements.
Minimum Spec.
Operating System: Windows XP / Vista / 7
Processor: 3.4 GHz Intel® Pentium 4 or equivalent processor
Memory: 1 GB System RAM (XP) / 2 GB System RAM (Vista / 7)
Graphics: DirectX 9.0c compliant video card with 256 MB RAM (NVIDIA 7900 or better, ATI X1800 or better)
Sound: DirectX Compatible
Hard Drive: 16 GB free space
Recommended Spec.
Operating System: Windows XP / Vista / 7
Processor: Intel® Core 2 Duo E6400 or equivalent processor
Memory: 2 GB System RAM (XP) / 3 GB System RAM (Vista / 7)
Graphics: DirectX 9.0c compliant video card with 512 MB RAM (NVIDIA 8800 series or better, ATI HD2900 PRO or better)
Sound: DirectX Compatible
Hard Drive: 16 GB free space
Note: The game's performance and/or graphical quality may differ according
to your computer's hardware and/or video card. Computers with high-performance
hardware will provide the best game performance.
------------------------------------------------
2. Installing This Software
------------------------------------------------
To install the game, insert Aliens vs Predator DVD 1 into your CD/DVD drive.
If you have auto-run enabled on your computer the installation program will
automatically open and prompt you to install Aliens vs Predator to your hard
drive. If auto-run is not enabled, browse to the DVD in Windows Explorer and
double-click on the setup.exe file. Follow the on-screen prompts to install
the game and its components to your computer.
Once Steam is installed and the game has completed its installation, you are
ready to begin playing. Under Windows XP you should double-click the Steam
icon on your desktop or in your Start Menu and double-click the Aliens vs
Predator entry in your "My games" tab in Steam. Under Windows Vista / 7 you
can directly launch the game by double-clicking on the Aliens vs Predator
icon in the Games Explorer window or you can follow the same steps as in
Windows XP.
Under Windows Vista / 7 you have the option of using either the DirectX 9 or
the DirectX 11 version of Aliens vs Predator. You can use the DX11 version
even on DX10 hardware but the additional DX11-specific video options will be
disabled. Provided drivers are up to date, any Vista / 7 users with DX10
hardware or better should therefore be able to run the DX11 version.
Generally the DX11 version should provide superior performance over the DX9
version.
If necessary you can explicitly launch either the DX9 or DX11 version via the
right-click menu in Steam. However, the default launch option should
automatically detect which version your computer can support. Please note
that launching via Games Explorer will always use the automatic detection.
The version of DirectX being used by the game will be displayed in the video
options menu, just underneath the Aliens vs Predator logo.
------------------------------------------------

4. Troubleshooting Tips
------------------------------------------------
i) Please ensure that you are using the latest driver versions available for
your computer, particularly for your graphics and sound cards. You may
experience graphical artifacts or instability if you are using earlier
drivers.
ii) If you are not achieving acceptable performance you should try adjusting
some of the video options downwards. The default settings may not be
appropriate for your computer. The single largest performance gain should
come from decreasing the resolution used. Beyond that, turning down the other
video options - for example, disabling Ambient Occlusion - will also help.
You may need to experiment to find the best trade-off for your computer.
iii) If you wish to play the DX11 version of Aliens vs Predator and use the
additional DX11-specific features then you must ensure that your graphics
card and graphics card drivers are DX11 compatible. If your graphics card
and drivers are only DX10 compatible then you can still run the DX11 version
but you will not be able to use the additional DX11-specific features. It
is particularly important that your video card drivers are up to date when
running the DX11 version; users have reported just getting a black screen
with the audio continuing in the background when running with out of date
drivers.
iv) When playing the DX9 version on computers with relatively low amounts of
system RAM, turning down the texture detail setting may improve performance
even if you have a good video card.
v) There is a known issue with the light from the Marine flare not working
on Nvidia cards if the "low" shadow detail option is selected. This may be
addressed in a later Nvidia driver revision but if you experience this issue
then please select a different shadow detail option. Note that turning the
shadow detail option up above "low" will decrease performance on lower end
video cards so you may need to choose the "off" setting instead.
vi) In the DX11 version you may experience a low framerate for a limited
period of time when starting a level or after modifying graphics options.
This is more likely to be seen on computers running Windows Vista rather than
Windows 7. Reducing your resolution, AA setting, or texture detail will help
to alleviate this issue. This may also be addressed in future driver updates.
vii) If you experience hangs or freezes while playing Aliens vs Predator with
an ATI video card, especially if a dialog appears reporting that "ATIKMDAG
has stopped responding but was successfully recovered" then please see KB
article 737-27116 on the AMD support website for solutions.
viii) If you experience graphical artifacts such as random polygons or colours
being drawn on the screen while playing Aliens vs Predator, please check that
your video card is not overheating. You should also check that your video
card drivers are up to date. Some users have reported that this issue can be
caused by a corrupt video card driver installation. This can be corrected by
uninstalling old drivers and optionally using a 3rd party utility such as
Driver Sweeper, then installing the latest available drivers.
ix) If you find that the Predator vision modes are not correctly
highlighting enemies of the relevant species then please check that you are
not forcing anti-aliasing on via your video card drivers. This primarily
affects Nvidia video cards when running the DX9 version of Aliens vs
Predator. This issue may be addressed in a future driver release.
x) Currently in the DX11 version the gamma video option is not compatible
with Nvidia video cards. This may be addressed in a future driver release.
You should leave the gamma at its default setting (0.5) in these
circumstances.
xi) Users have reported that on certain sound hardware, primarily Sound
Blaster X-Fi cards, that audio may be missing or corrupted. If you experience
this issue then you may be able to address it by turning off Sound Blaster
enhancements. For example, on Windows Vista / 7 you may be able do this by
going to Control Panel -> Sound -> Playback -> [active playback device] ->
Properties -> Sound Blaster and ticking the Disable Enhancements box, then
clicking Ok. The active playback device will depend on your setup but will
probably be called Speakers or Headphones. You may find this option
elsewhere, depending on your OS or drivers. This issue may be addressed in a
future driver release or Aliens vs Predator patch.
xii) Users with multiple video cards in an ATI CrossFire or Nvidia SLI setup
may find that their framerate will improve if they disable the Reduce Mouse
Lag option in the Controls menu. Note that this may introduce greater latency
on the mouse input and this option should left enabled unless necessary.
xiii) At the time of writing, Steam does not currently support the Players
list in conjunction with player lobbies. Your list of players that you've
recently played with, etc., will not be populated with players from Aliens vs
Predator until Steam is updated to support this.
xiv) Users with Nvidia video cards and certain driver / operating system
combinations may find that if they use the DX11 version and have both the
V-Sync and Reduce Mouse Lag options enabled that the game will hang on the
loading screen when starting a level. You can workaround this by disabling
one of those options or by using the DX9 version instead. This issue may be
addressed in a future driver release or Aliens vs Predator patch.
Quote from: [REB]Trigger on Feb 19, 2010, 01:47:38 PM
We are currently investigating the PC "stuttering" issue, which unfortunately wasn't found during extensive compatibility testing. We believe a few things may be contributing to this:
1) A combination of driver issues and the video memory manager that's used in Vista and Windows 7 under DX10 and 11. We're talking to Nvidia and ATI about this. This may also be responsible for the extreme memory usage that some people are seeing.
2) People using settings that are too high for the amount of VRAM in their video cards. Please note that if you adjust the texture detail settings then you must restart the game for this to take effect. There should be a dialog that advises you of this. Please try using the default Normal setting and seeing if that solves or reduces the problem.
3) The V-Sync and/or Reduce Mouse Lag options. The latter is found under the Controls options menu, not Video. Turning both of these off may help on Nvidia cards. This may be related to the problem described in point 4.xiv in the ReadMe.
As has been noted in this thread, playing the DX9 version instead should also solve this stuttering.
With regards to the low process priority that some people have noticed, this is intentional when you Alt-Tab out of the game, unless you are playing multiplayer. When you Alt-Tab back in, the process priority should return to normal.
I got a C++ runtime error after hitting reload checkpoint in Refinery after being sucked into a fan, now the game won't open. Going to try restarting my PC now, and will post what happens here when I do.
EDIT: no luck. the game still won't open anymore.
EDIT: Fixed it. The runtime error apparently deleted AvP.exe, I did the validate option under properties on steam, and it redownloaded a file, then the game works. I know it was AvP.exe that disappeared, because I had the folder open in the background and saw the exe pop up when steam repaired it. I really hope this doesn't happen any more.
-Windows doesn't like things being labeled avp.exe because it has its own executable under that name.
-ranked skins do not unlock.
-Getting a simul kill on a couple of maps causes both players to be ejected from the current game.

Is avp supposed to be in 3D it might just be not compatible ?
Tim Jones of Rebellion had been talking about it working supposedly, however this does not seem to be the case.
It's been discussed before, but i'd like a separate attack button for the alien's tail lash, it's stupid it can only be used on the sealing + it works only at a range of 3 meters and at 2 meters distance the heavy attack automatically takes over for that attack type.
Also give the tail lash a descend stun, e.g: 0.3 secs, just enough to get behind them, because we can't stun or knock down Preds (but we can on marines? the Preds already have superior melee, where's the balance in that?), which is very annoying since all their one-shot-kill-weapons can still be used in close combat, especially the disc is annoying (if you even get past the disc at long range).
I think this is a subtle change which helps the aliens in melee, but doesn't affect the game too much and doesn't make the Alien over powered.
A small and easy change, but genious.
Just saying, yes preds are more powerfull in melee, yes preds have more powerfull weaponry, yes preds are way slower than aliens.. Wait? Oh right, aliens are really fast, I think thats where the balance is. Also the alien heavy attack has a long range, I cant tell you how many times Ive heavy spammed preds to death (and Im not talking about the insta tail wall spam, its the real heavy attack)
Seems like avp has some type of memory leak. As soon as I alt tab I also lose video.
Doesn't run as good as the demo did.
Edit: Dx9 version runs fine.

Srry, but the heavy attack of preds goes just as far, and why can they knock us down and we can't on them? It's pure numbers and logic, they have more advantages over us.
But i have to say that the probs i have with them is with skilled players, but as a skilled alien player, iam no match for those discs and very heavy melee attacks, usually i get them because they unblock by accident.
And vacuum dragon punch is back in full bro-force.
Also just lost all of current playtime's XP (7 hours) due to magic mid game syncing error caused by changing graphics settings in mid game. Awesome. How about turning autosyncing off, ya know, like real games.
So I started the Marine campaign and the floor/ceilings never loaded and it lagged like crazy. I finished the Alien campaign without ever having any lag issues, and play online just fine also, so its got to be something specific to the marine campaign. I reloaded from the start and it didn't help.
Then the game crashed and deleted the avp.exe AGAIN.
Once I repair that I'm off to tinker with the graphical settings to see about getting the Rine campaign working.
Also, the sound stutters and locks up during all the movies. I only use onboard sound, so I'm not surprised, but if anyone knows a work-around, I'd be thrilled.
Predator campaign (singleplayer) on PS3 freezes!!! Alien and Marine Campaigns are fine,but whenever i play Predator it locks up randomly!
This helped the first AVP game (and other games which similar problem; I am installing now so I can't know if I have the problem or if this will help, but it is worth a try.)
Change the avp.exe to fear.exe
Let me know if it works.

When you say randomly, is it always when switching between vision modes?
Okay, why doesn't the installation setup have an option allowing me to install in another drive? I want to play but there isn't an option that tells you.
Probably because it installs to the Steam directory.
How can I fix this, moving the steam directory to the other HD?
EDIT: Moving it didn't work, this is bull shit!

Predator training level works fine. Then the first level refuses to load. The game locks up my PC every single time. >:(
May or may not have been answered, didn't see em mentioned on the first two pages.
For the PC version:
How do I mute people in game? There are some people with really cheap mics that I'd rather not hear.
I preordered the game from gamestop, how do I get my skins? I don't see a place to input a code to unlock them :( Gamestop didn't tell me (I forgot to ask)
Loving the game so far though!
I cannot play my copy for a week sooo...
In that time... fix all of this Rebellion, and start with the PS3 version first ;)
Quotethis is why I avoid console gaming, even if it supposed to focus on gaming it still fails.
Its obviously a program error buddy. The PS3 demo even had issues.
The PS3 users also have trouble with there preorder skins.
Rebellions fault...not the PS3.
I had only one big issue, and it's a spoiler for those who haven't finished the Predator campaign.
Spoiler
When you are fighting the Predalien at the end in the big chamber with the lava everywhere, as the Predalien jumps into, or falls into the lava, he is supposed to come back up.
The first time I fought him, he fell in, and never came back up. I sat and ran around for 15 minutes, waiting for him. I checked my time, I am not exaggerating.
I reset to the checkpoint.
The second time, he didn't disappear, he froze, and I was able to just use my Plasma Caster. He didn't move at all. So, I beat the game.
I don't know if anyone else had that issue, but I found it very odd.
No longer like the demo can I change my character from alien, marine, or pred in the lobby. It just randomly puts me with a species. Is this just me, or am I missing something? Thanks
I'm on PC by the way
Also, Has anyone else notice that if your on a wall (in SP) you can tail a marine like 20 times and he wont die? And if he is knocked down tailing doesnt hurt him at all.

I've heard of this...
Rebellion better not have done that on purpose thinking it was a good idea.
That will cause the game to flop in and of itself.
Simple as that, I've now been trying to play ANY match for over 2 hours, I've gotten 2 short games in, the rest of the time I've been staring at that bloody facehugger which is quickly becoming one of my most hated sights. Hosting isn't working for Bioshock 2 multiplayer which is crippled by lag, and plagued with long wait times for games, it's only passable for Modern Warfare 2 b/c there are so many people playing you have an ok shot at a decent ping and a quick load time, and worst case scenario host migration saves maybe 1 out of ever 5 games where the host disconnects.
Basically, if you can't code a multiplayer game for dedicated servers, don't F#!&ing make a multiplayer game. I'm sick and tired of seeing the same excuse for every new game saying "well we only had so many resources and we decided to go with hosting so we could focus on X more..."
I know its a new game, and there probably isn't a huge number of people playing it yet but seriously, as it stands right now I couln't give the game more than a 3.5/10
BTW I'm playing the PS3 version, maybe the 360 or Steam players are actually having fun, I hope somebody is...
In the single player, I noticed the runner had a ridged head instead of a dome one. I figured this was just a design choice but when you look at it with the Alien vision in the Predator campaign, it has the dome.
(PS3 version)
I'm playing the PC version, I got everything maxed out with 60 fps gameplay. But something strange happens, all of a sudden the game seems to stutter for about 3 seconds and then it goes back to playing 60 fps :-\
Kind of weird, doesn't happen much but when it does it almost looks like the game crashed and then recovered.
Oh and please please please patch in a damn mute button, I just had to put up with a retard who just made fart noises the entire match and my only recourse was to mute the whole game.
I have xbox 360 version but, from what i heard from a friend you right click the name and select the mute option. Correct me if i am wrng i dont have PC... But im glad youre enjoying the game... I am too :)

The Rebellion dev confirmed a mute button...you saying your not finding it?
Damn...they had better have one.
Ya there is no mute button, but there is a push to talk.
My game is crashing... A lot... Like after an hour of play it freezes and I have to end the process. It does this in both DX11 and normal mode.
My specs are:
vid: gtx 280 sli
cpu: q9550 ~ 3.85ghz
ram: 4gb ddr3
Anyone else having similar problems? Very glitchy game so far :(
Also, sometimes when I am an alien (in SP) i do a stealth kill and I dont have the pheramone lines (which makes it look awesome) but sometimes it still has the lines. :(
This game is going to HAVE to be patched majorly!

The same thing is happening to me. Except I'm on the xbox version. Oh well, there's probably just not a lot of people since the game has just been released.
Hey guys,
I'm playing the Marine campaign at the moment (PC version). Still on the first mission. However, when I try to go to listen to an audio diary, it won't play it for me! I keep clicking "Play audio diary", but I don't get anything. Am I missing something here?
Any help would be appreciated!

For AVP PC owners, if your having any random stuttering issues don't worry, it's not your computer. Many other users are having the same problem and they have insane rigs. Not too sure if it's just a matter of a simple patch to be released later down, heres a thread I found on the issue....

Ugh... This game really needs host migration. Good games keep ending.
Looks like Rebellion has a lot of patching to do, I hope I don't run into many PC problems when I pick it up tomorrow :/
The PC version is alittle bugy, so far the only gripe I have is the random stuttering, which a lot of other PC users are having too. I'm going to try dx9 to see if it fixes the problem.
But overall it's an awesome game, it just needs to be patched up. It's still playable though.
How do I mute people? And where do I go to put in my "gamespot preorder skins"
PC version for both of these questions.

I can't believe Rebellion would be so completely oblivious as to miss this problem. It's been plaguing people trying to get the original game to work for years now. Simply changing it to AvsP.exe would side-step any potential issues.
How well does it work for u guys?
???
Because it seems to be very slow4 me lol.
and when i do find a game its only like 5 other guys...out of 16 :/
Two things.
Matchmaking: Takes a little too long to join. And why can't I have another match with the same guys? Why am I kicked out and forced to find another random match?
Stealth Kill: This really pissed me off. I was playing as Predator in Predator hunt. I see a Marine pass under me, with his back to me. I drop down, I see the indicator for stealth kill, I hit it and nothing. The indicator came up twice and nothing. I immediately died.
I'd like to be able to play all multiplayer modes with my friends. Not just select modes.
Predator Hunt would be perfect with just my friends and I.
damn that swaping problems got me sick, damn, its unplayable for me :(((( going to try on win xp
so i played marine campaign on hard.(and beat it) then i decided to try infestation. i searched for a ranked infestation match twice. i couldnt find a match so i chose social infestation. i joined a game and i had a rank of 15. is it a glitch. by the way im on 360
you had Marine skins unlocked with it? Do you have Rookie unlocked? I'm over rank 15 and it's still locked.
no i dont have him.i have 3 pred skins,3 alien skins, 4 human skins
At least the glitch gave you the skins. It might just be because you went on unranked instead of ranked.

No, not necesseraly so. I've had it lock up after i collected the first head and when i was just walking around cloaked not doing anything in particular. vision mode switching is OK for now..

Get your mates into your group then "create custom game", set your game mode, map and off the the lobby you go.....
My alien was stuck in black and white mode for awhile. But it fixed itself after I died a few times.
Lag is the issue with most of the phantom rubber effects.
Somebody mentioned some PC specific awesomeness hand delivered,contradicted by the list of video issues in the readme, and (actual) dedicated servers are weeks away? What happened with "planned all along".
Additionally something is super wrong with Gateway, untidied portals or something.. it's a lag/leak machine on ANY settings.
MSTDM also randomly throws you in TDM lobbies.
Games also randomly sets it's priority to low.
Couple of areas on temple where the Alien will literally get stuck in transition and run in place until killed.
Can you get pics of the sticky spots?
These things are a total nightmare to test for. I've managed to get characters stuck in both Force Unleashed and Arkham Asylum. ::)
f**k that stupid bullshit host leaving OMG! cant finnisg a single game

Just saying, yes preds are more powerfull in melee, yes preds have more powerfull weaponry, yes preds are way slower than aliens.. Wait? Oh right, aliens are really fast, I think thats where the balance is. Also the alien heavy attack has a long range, I cant tell you how many times Ive heavy spammed preds to death (and Im not talking about the insta tail wall spam, its the real heavy attack)

XP/Vista/W7?
wow all this is really cramping my excitment to get the game tonight. Im sure it will still be epic and hopefully they will invest the time to fix the problems mentioned. I know rebellion did a fantastic job in the first avp's but Im just wondering with there recent track record over the last few years if the industry is starting to get ahead of there resources. With so many obvious bugs and glitches it feels like maybe the programing was a bit rushed. I understand people have deadlines and all that but you should never have to sacrifce quality.
In all honesty they could re-release pac-man and call it AVP and I would still think its good probably. lol AvP is the only game that has ever held my attention more then a few weeks

read thread, if your having this problem; rename avp.exe to fear.exe or like avsp.exe
You can add it in your profile in something like nhancer if you want to mess with it still.
PC stuttering issue has been fixed, all I had to do was which the game to dx9, it plays flawlessly now and still has all the cool graphic effects such as motion blur. I'm sure a patch will be released soon to fix the other small minor problems, but overall I'm having freakin blast now 8)
In the demo, there was no host migration, I was just wondering if it is in the full game on Xbox 360?
Nope, not yet.
It also needs a mute button and MUCH quicker matchmaking, then it will be frakkin brilliant!
thank god I'm on X360, hopefully no/few bugs there, seems PS3 has one though...

It seems 360 has the safest waters to be swimming in.
Is anyone else having trouble joining friends or having them join you in AvP?

(i dont know if youre doing this, but this is how youre suppose to)
You can't have someone just join your already started game. You need to do the usual -> ranked -> quick match-> and what ever page where you see the thing that says your group; and your the only person in it. Thats when you can start adding friends into your group.
Once theyre in your group they stay with you, so even after a game ends it will spit you back out with the group still together.
Hope this helped, if this is what you we're doing, then maybe try right clicking your game on the steam list, properties, and check the local cache (i think that is what it is called), to see if all the game files downloaded and installed properly.
Yeah, I've had a few instances of stealth kills not working in MP, and its not a problem on my end, as my ping was fine. Possibly the target was lagged?
I followed a Marine for about 10 seconds, with the stealth kill prompt on the screen, and me hitting E and nothing happening, then he turned around and blew me away.
I can't get past the first Alien level because no matter how long I stare at the guy's hand he just stays there. There's also no dialogue in that part.
My specs: Vista 64 SP1
Core 2 Quad Q9300
ATI Radeon HD 5770 with the latest Drivers as of todays update (10.2).
6GB Ram.
I downloaded the game on Steam and the DX9 version runs fine but I can't even get to the menu screen in DX11 mode. As soon as I click on to launch the DX 11 version I get the
"Aliens Vs. Predator Has Stopped Working" Message.

I tried verifying the integrate of the game's cache and re downloading DX 11 but so far none have worked! Please help and thank you.
If it helps I recently upgraded my videocard from an Nvidia 9800GT.
Hey guys,
I would just like to know how other people are playing the PC version of AVP? I picked up my Hunter edition this morning, I tried to install it but steam pops up and says that the game has not yet been released. All i get is a cancel installation button and thats it. ???
I checked on steam and it says that the game will be released in 1 day and 19 hours. wtf? >:(
Thats strange and annoying. My game was supposed to come out today since I live in Canada but the orders did not come in so I have have to wait 1-2 more days... I feel your pain.
Hey everyone, long time lurker, first time poster. Anways, I'm over on the XBOX 360 version and boy, it seems as if we side-stepped the majority of these problems you guys are having. However, there are quite a few that I'm surprised weren't mentioned here!
- Midway through the Marine campaign, many people are randomly awarded with the "Welcome to the Party" achievement, which is "Achieve 6000 XP in multiplayer." This would end up putting you in the 20ish level range! It happened to myself and 7 others, even though the stats board says I have a total of 1000 XP.
- The heavy attacks have an extraordinary "Lock On" range. Like autoaim. I'd say that the predator and alien heavy attacks have about a 15 foot hit radius in 70% of the cases I tried.
- Match making takes FAR, FAR too long. This should be patched IMMEDIATELY as it's almost game-breaking. The same with lobby kicking. I mean, come on...why can't we play with the same people over and over again?
- This may be atypical, but what the heck is the deal with Domination mode only being Aliens Vs. Marines? It's way unfair as the aliens can easily speed between points and capture them. Out of 7 matches I played in this mode, aliens won everytime!
By the way, my gamertag is thugnastydoom. Feel free to add me.
Edit: Fixed some typos.
How about the gaming timing out or the host leaving at the end of the game and nobody getting all the xp they earned? thats probably the most ANNOYING thing in this whole game
Ha, you can easily get it back with that XP glitch though...
My impression of the game is good, it could have been better, I'm really upset u can't system link or play multiplayer offline.
1. why do you have to look for a new group after every match?
2. wheres that hissing sound i became oh so accustomed to when the alien sprints?
3. why can i not seem to change classes in the match screen?
the only error iv found is that i havent played it yet. >:(
there comes a patch today..but the soundbug did not gone away.sometimes the voice of mr. weyland in the videos is gone away...in the laborlevel its often..and other soundbugs.thats only on ps3.and the game is bucking heavy sometimes.
Interesting the game is running smoothly for me
The only issue i got right now is with the vision mode when marines are not in red and aliens in green.

You need to turn off forced anti-aliasing in your driver settings.
Glitch I noticed in PS3/XBOX versions..
A dead alien player's corpse will move around frantically on the ground. I've only seen this in multiplayer, it breaks the immersion. Also, when I die I can sometimes see my corpse passing through the floor or wall, looks very unprofessional from a game like this.
Sorry if i missed it but is anyone else on PS3 getting stuck in a ranked match after it has ended for about 20 second, thus missing the post game stats screen then getting booted do to host disconnection?
I'm getting this after 1:4 or 5 games and it does not give me the experience i had earned. Very frustrating.

Yeah, that game has some weird ragdollin' going on... saw this in the demo, too.
Peteysodes, yes this happened to me twice so far, very frustrating, especially after long games.
Singleplayer "Jungle" stage on both marine and predator campaign' on the PC (haven't tryed alien yet) glitch/errors.
On marines jungle stage as it loads there is no floor and so i fall into, well nothing. And thus die.. over and over again. Restart from checkpoint or restarting stage makes no difference.
On predators jungle stage the movie plays fine, then as the ship lands and cloaks i die - wtf!? And also, if i click fire while the ships are decending i fall out and goes like the marine stage, falling into nothing and then dying.
Good job rebellion.
Could people reporting issues please state what they are running (360, PS3, PC, Dx9, Dx11 etc), it's hard to point people at usefull threads etc if we don't know the full situation.
For falling through the floor, if it's the PC version try verifying the files through steam. There have been a number of cases where the download hasn't completed fully leaving players with no environment (because the file was missing).
I didnt have this issue in the demo, and i cznt show screenshots because they dont show in in screenshots, but on objects and in walls when im looking at an angle at them through the shadows jabe these dotted white lines on them.
Dunno if its a glitch or somthing but its odd and im wanting to know if anyone else has this?

This is the first time you've seen it in a game? I see them everywhere. It's a line in-between textures or meshes or something like that.
Said PC version, but am running in DX11^^ also happens in DX9 mode too
Will give steam a look now, cheers
Also getting those random stutters, but that's been mentioned a bunch already.
i7 920
5770 x2 xfire
6gb ddr3 etc
edit 2 - checked it through steam, was missing 1 file which redownloaded. checking now
edit 3 - same thing happens but now the sequence where the pods fly down looks like crap lol.. nightmare

Yes! its like that :P it looks odd wonder if they will patch it, or better yet is anyone else getting this? did u have this in the demo? because i know i didnt
Nah, I wasn't seeing it in the demo. Patch it? Highly unlikely.
Are you forcing anti-aliasing?
Fun game, but the Asura engine is really buggy. Terrible physics... aliens, marines, and predators alike all jitter around on the ground when killed... sometimes they even do ridiculous backflips. Pretty bad framerate, which should never be a problem on the 360 (which is the version I'm talking about). Often the enemies will not react to your attacks as they should. Occasionally I'll claw a marine to death, and the whole time they just stand there like a statue. At times the character movement can be really jaggy... I don't know if this is the framerate, or an innate problem with the engine.
The marine dialogue is actually embarrassing. They just quack the same old lines over and over again, with occasional variations of voice type. It's like Rebellion thought they could get away with 5 marine dialogues as long as they were all spoken in a couple different voices. It really substrates from the atmosphere. With such terrible dialogue, you don't need bad AI to feel like your foes are complete idiots. "Don't relax yet marines!"... can't tell you how many times I heard that one.
The graphics on the 360 can be very disappointing at times. The Predators are not very detailed. One scene stands out in particular, where you harvest an elite Predator as an Alien. The Preds face looked so bad that I almost couldn't bare to watch. On the contrary, the alien models look pretty good, not excellent, but respectable. Marine models are so so, pretty low res textures. The environment seemed pretty graphically weak to me, though not terrible.
This game is fun, I love it, but it's chock-full of bugs that really take away from the game. I wonder how it looks and plays in DirectX11...
Are they any Direct X 11 cards out? I dont feel like investing into Windows 7 and a new Card because im moving to USA in a few months, so the money will be wasted. But it be nice to know
ati 5000 series
I dont use ATI cards, Are they any Nvidia ones?
Quote from: QueenofDeath on Feb 18, 2010, 05:52:03 PM

Nope. They don't have DirectX 11
at all. ATI exclusive this time 'round... for now.
530 pounds for the Card and 120-150 for Windows 7.
Hmm thats alot of money :/
Edit: on top of that the game locked up and crashed on me forcing me to restart my PC.. Damn the Gamespot 5.5 score is right.. I want to love this game but theres things stopping me from loving it.. Theres too many bugs/glitches.. The whole white dotted line effect on everything (or most objects) is ruining the game because this wasnt present in the demo.
The game crashing on me pissed me off. Theres hardly no AA support (dispite the demo actuly having it) Theres quite a few performance issues.. Damn it The Demo is actuly better. Ive only been on the first marine level and so far ive found countless bugs and graphics glitches..
This alien got stuck behind the damn level and it was attacking me through the walls and this door, yet i couldnt attack back. Forcing me to restart the level.
This game needs patching asap. out of ten i would give it 6/10 The gameplay is great. But theres a ton of Techical issues and bugs that need sorting.
And in the end there is a bug and you can't launch the game in dx11. Bummer.
Stupid bugs, installed for half an hour, just to play the 1st Predator trial.
Then the game chrashes during loading of the 2nd Pred mission. All the time.
Ya i mean I love this game. But it is too buggy to play online. I still can't pick my own species. I'm just not going to play until we get some patches. :(
Finally getting somewhere with MP, however it seems the auto aim melee system has enabled the predators to reach like 20 foot away - E.g
You get attacked by a predator but say a light attack and you break away and run up a wall, to your perspective your like 20 foot away from the predator but somehow those claws reach you while your above the predator and you come crashing down hit the floor get stunned and bludgned to death.
i mean c'mon thats frickin lame a predator cant claw out any higher than the length of the forearm above its head and then diagonly up its even more restricted . . . but no its magic ;-)
You guys, do you receive alien vision later on in the Predator single player, cause i only have 2 visions (heat, normal) and im on the second mission. (PC Version)
I just hope they fixed the white dotted line bug/glitch? im seeing on everything. This wasn't in the demo so i dont know what is causing it in the full game. Hopefully it is patchable and will be fixed soon, or else the game is gonna be ruined in the long term for me. Becasue it's kinda ugly seeing this crap everywhere. Could it be down to the DX11 features?
Please Rebellion fix this asap if u can!
guys whats the deal with the heavy attack using the alien, it seems everytime i'm in combat it does the delayed claw heavy over the perferred tail. is their a way to only use the tail in a heavy?

I'll ask again, are you forcing anti-aliasing in your driver options?
okay i received my alien vision during the whole trial thing, but all the preds were like wierd and purple and like... ( its like they were in the making stage of the game) and now all the marines have these blue/purple/pink parts all over them on certain pieces of the armor....
help please?

The predators are supposed to be like that in that part. It's somekind of holographic thingy, showing the history stuff.
Did you check how the marines look without the vision? Because later on you get androids that use somekind of cloak and they show up as square pieces in the heat vision.
Has anyone spotted any differences on the Aliens' tail? I mean, now when I turn around, it moves way faster than on the demo. Also, it no longer appears for me when I run backwards.

All im running on nvidia's Control panel is that its automaticly set to Quality in prefence. I dont manualy change anything. And forcing anti-aliasing doesn't effect anything at all. Still have the same issue with and without it on.
The Demo had great anti-alliasing for some reason and looked alot better than the full game does.
Edit: Found a way to force Anti-allising. But can someone try this? because i cant seem to do it right.
I found the only way to force aa through enhancer using dx9.
Aliens Vs Predator Anti-Aliasing Nhancer Profile
0000F0C1: STALKER Compatibility with 2x Multi-Sampling AA and Multi-Transparency AA
It takes quite a performance hit, so I had to reduce shadows from high to normal and Vsync must be on.

Sorry, when I was asking about AA, I meant that it probably
shouldn't be on, it can cause all sorts of problems with the sort of rendering AvP uses. If its not that causing it, try running the normal dx9 AvP.exe (assuming your normally running the dx11 one), it's a long shot but the demo was dx9 only so worth a try.

I always saw it do that in videos, but it never showed my tail when I ran in the demo or full game.
No im running on DirectX 9
And i can't games when they dont have any Anti-allising. So if i cant get it to work somhow then im selling the game.
We live in the year 2010 and Developers still haven't figured out that shit like this pisses people off.
When I first went on multi player I went on friendly match and browsed for a infestation match and when I got in the lobby. I was rank 8 even though I had never been on the multi-player before. I wondered if you went up doing single-player but there are loads of 1's everywhere. Also I have unlocked all the skins that my rank would if i actually got it properly. Btw this happens in all my games and i have started ranking up from 7 I am now nine. Can someone help I want to start ranks again from 0 or 1.

Don't hold the tail/heavy attack button down. Just tap it.
It's range dependent.

Ok I would modify my first post but nobody would answer it being that high up also does anyone have trouble finding more than 6 or 7 people in a match at once is anyone else having that problem. I am from the uk so that might be a reason. Does matchmaking go by regions because all the matches have had 6 or 7 people in. It is like no one is online. Is the problem where I am from or because there is no one online ?I'm on ps3 btw
Can any one on the PC pick their species?
I still can't. It just randomly puts me as a marine, pred, or alien. Its the reason I am not playing MP; it makes it not even fun! :(

If you go on ranked TDM you get put in teams automatically that is the only mode where this happends and in friendly game it is a server option
hi there , I manage to play the first predator mission , but after that , it just keep crash to desk top at the loading screen , I have win 7
anyone know how to fix the problem ?
I have a couple issues with Multiplayer.
1) Please let us choose species on ranked Species Death Match. Even on a first come first serve basis. I hate having my species chosen for me.
2) Please let us mute in the game. It seems most idiots in games have ALOT to say.
3) Do something about the balance. It is broken. Admit it and fix it.
IS anyone not getting any glitches?

No i Need AA or else i dont play PC Games.. The Demo had AA on so why cant the full game?
I was able to grab a predator through a wall in pyramid kinda of hilarious.
Seems that there is a Big Problem on the Performance Side,noticed it today in Singleplayer Predator Campaign and in Multiplayer as a Host(everyone had this lag connected to my Server!).

I only get stuttering in SP and managed to reduce it a lot by turning Ambient occlusion off.
Anybody having problems with Steam DL? When my download reached 25% the status changed to *Updating* and started from 0%. The AvP files are still in the steam folder.

People reported this on US release date aswell. But they said that the download is still going. Better, monitor the folder for awhile and watch if the file sizes get bigger or not.
Yup getting bigger.

You can't sell it. It's a Steam game. It's locked to your account forever. And the demo didn't have anti aliasing. It uses deffered rendering. Anti aliasing isn't possibile under that for DX9. Although I agree it definately wasn't as noticeable under the demo for some reason.
But seriously, get over it. I hate games without AA too, but that doesn't mean the game isn't good. loved Dead Space and I am loving this game. With or without AA. It's just not THAT big a deal. Especially if you play at a reasonable resoloution.
I am not sure if any of you have experienced this but everytime I try to play a ranked match I get disconnected about 1-2 mins into the match with the msg "The host has left the server"... weird thing is not everyone gets disconnected, so what is the deal?
Is there perhaps some fix on my end I could try?
This is a game breaker for me since I need to actually finish a ranked match to get the xp... otherwise I remain Rank 1 indefinitely, unable to unlock skins etc.
How come then u actuly didnt notice any jagies on the demo version? I know i didnt, but on the full game they are everywhere!

I'm using Nvidia and the Aliens tail is still present when turning and whatnot.
That's strange cause I have a less powerful rig then yours and I can see the tail...which mode you trying to play the game in dx 9 or dx11(if your card is a dx 11)
Dx9. Actually the game runs perfectly on my laptop (ATI card), the tails looks great and everything works perfect, but in my other PC (Nvidia 9800GT) it looks like the tail is "smaller", also it doesn't show up while running backwards.
I was trying to record the bug with FRAPS, and surprisingly the tail looked larger. More similar to what it used to be on the demo but yet not the same. In the second I turn off fraps it looks smaller again...
Hey All,
Don't have the time at the moment to read through all 11 pages and check if it's been posted already or whether it's been fixed in the full version....but playing MP, I find occasionally if I focus leap attack with a predator or another attack that moves me closely towards a marine, then the marine disapears completely from my view, I can spin a full 360 and they are gone, dissapeared! All of a sudden they reappear on my side or somewhere behind me and nail me.
Has anyone else had this with the predator or with any other species? I can only think that the player models are not stopping when running into each other and basically you both merge / stand in each other until one moves away.
Very odd! :-\

*edit* I play with everything set on highest; I have tried in both dx11 and dx9 mode, I still don't see a tail. maybe it is the resolution? I am on a 22" widescreen playing the game at 1680x1050.

I don't think it's the resolution. Could you please send me your Dxdiag.txt? So we can compare what we have in common.
QuoteFor the DXDIAG.txt
· Open the Start menu
· Select Run. Note that some versions of Vista do not have "Run", simply use the search field for the next step.
· In the box, type the following: dxdiag
· Click "OK"
· Click the "Save All Information" button on the first screen of the application.
· Then on top of the "Save As" box that pops up, select Desktop (if it's not set to save there already), then click Save.

The REALLY cool thing about the SLI glitch is sometimes other ALIENS will disappear, as will people in outline mode and then smack, you get stealth killed by invisible monsterses. I've gone to running one card.
IMPORTANT BUGS:
Steam version:
At least 3 different people said in the game's lobby that their rank were getting reset to 1 (Lose all skins, have to regain them all again), but still somehow kept their personal stats. They don't know how it happened, but I think this is something everyone should be aware of.
Console version:
Some users were getting their rank up to some obscenely high number after a match (43000++).
Was playing survivor with a friend, he died, and the Aliens stopped coming.
In the Predator campaign, when Weyland talks to you over the screen on the elevator, I couldn't hear his voice.
In MP i was playing a Hunter game and the Predator looks like a marine so nobody saw him lol

Post from steam, exp/rank resetting bug is a lot more common now it seems.
I know for sure that where my game was crashing all the time at the same points and sometimes randomly, was fixed by lowering the graphics settings as low as they would go (except resolution). I'm sure you don't have to go all low settings, but I really didn't feel like experimenting with how high I could go.
Multiplayer works 100% fine with highest settings.
Just in my last match I had a glitch where everytime I went to perform a stealth kill ( it MIGHt have been all on the same Predator... Can't really remember now) instead of performing it I'd fly back suddenly.
Made me loose the game along with the auto transition randomly sticking on.

try going into steam's game list and right click on launch Aliens Vs Predator direct x 9 and you might be able to play on normal texture and normal shadow complexity unless you have a low end video card.I can ply on normal since I realize what the problem was and the hext time I might try high to see if I can play with out lfps drop to 0 for 20 seconds.

Thats a bit of a red herring, the game is only running at low
because you have minimised the game. It returns to normal once you go back in to the game.

Hmm... I'm pretty sure that's not the case. Atleast on my system (win 7), if I start a game and ALT+TAB out and check the priority it's set to normal, not low.
In other news, had quite a nasty glitch on the jungle map while playing infestation last night. People would get the red "Warning! Connection Issues!" text and after that the ground would let you fall out of the map and die. Happened twice and on both times I saw 4-5 people get killed by falling thru the ground. :o
That reminds me! I did have something similar happen to me in pred hunt. Me and another marine got caught in a wall and just started vibrating and then died and fell through the ground.

Depends if you are in multiplayer or not. While in multiplayer it is set to normal at all times, in non-multiplayer menus and the single player campaign it should set to low when minimised.
We are currently investigating the PC "stuttering" issue, which unfortunately wasn't found during extensive compatibility testing. We believe a few things may be contributing to this:
1) A combination of driver issues and the video memory manager that's used in Vista and Windows 7 under DX10 and 11. We're talking to Nvidia and ATI about this. This may also be responsible for the extreme memory usage that some people are seeing.
2) People using settings that are too high for the amount of VRAM in their video cards. Please note that if you adjust the texture detail settings then you must restart the game for this to take effect. There should be a dialog that advises you of this. Please try using the default Normal setting and seeing if that solves or reduces the problem.
3) The V-Sync and/or Reduce Mouse Lag options. The latter is found under the Controls options menu, not Video. Turning both of these off may help on Nvidia cards. This may be related to the problem described in point 4.xiv in the ReadMe.
As has been noted in this thread, playing the DX9 version instead should also solve this stuttering.
With regards to the low process priority that some people have noticed, this is intentional when you Alt-Tab out of the game, unless you are playing multiplayer. When you Alt-Tab back in, the process priority should return to normal.
Thanks for the heads up. Tho, I can confirm that running on DX9 doesn't solve the stuttering. That was my initial approach after I started getting it, but wont help.
EDIT: Oh yeh, running Nvidia here.

Found an interesting little bug with the leaderboards there. Unnamed players with 0 kills sit above players with an actual score. :/ This repeats up the list, but the ones with 0 kills are down here.
Hunter Edition came, today.
Graphically, fine.
Audio?
Not sure if any is meant to play on the Fox logo or menu (mine doesn't), but while I get it on the Sega and Rebellion logos, plus the initial generic cinematic, I then get zero audio during actual gameplay. Volume's at full, but I just can't get it to play.
Example: Alien campaign cinematic of you getting born plays, but there's no audio for the cinematic of you getting the number imprinted on the chestburster plays or at any time after that. Ganmeplay is in absolute silence.
Same for Predator and Marine campaigns: Audio in the initial cinematic (plus, the Weyland one, which seems common to them all), but the gameplay is in silence. I can get out of the missions and restart them and still get audio on the first cinematics, but when it goes to gameplay, there's nothing.
Sound Blaster card (Audigy SE), but not anything ultra-new and it works happily with everything else.
Disappointing! I can play the game and it looks great, but because it's in silence, it becomes basically unplayable. :/
Thirteen pages of bugs and some dudes still glorify this game like nothing's wrong.
It seems there is a major problem with audio and I'm not the only one!

Someone should summarize all the bugs and put them in the original post to make sure there is no room for error when it comes to rectifying them.
I didn't expect my first post to be one pertaining problems left over from AVP2 mp but alas.
Just played my first AVP3 HUNT game and some of the old legendary AVP2 mp problems are still there namely Spawn Camping. It was the scourge of the second game and prompted alot of people to up and leave early in its infancy. Some form of 3-5 second invulnerability needs to be in place to allow Preds to cloak and move.
People are just sitting on energy regen spots as well like we all didn't see this one coming.
Already people are cheating. People can spot a stood still for over 30 seconds, not moving cloaked Predator in a jungle and aim dead on.
If these problems are not addressed early then I'm afraid this game my not survive. Hacking was a torrid problem in 2 with people flying about racking up kills.
I thought Steam had VAC?
Spotting predators isn't the same as cheating, surely you realize that guessing games and motion tracking suddenly ending is worth shooting in the general direction of? I have gotten lots of "bullshit" kills in which the predator cries about it. It happens.
PS. 3 days is not enough time to create a working multiplayer hack in a foreign game engine.

That's because a Predator is incredibly easy to spot, even when cloaked.
BUG: invite friends into created game (connection/server timed out)
The following happens, when you create a game then invite someone, or invite someone then create a game, the party connection times out and can not join the created game, the host will be waiting in the room on his own

They're definitely cheating. Aimbots are already out for the game. Steam forums are even picking up on the fact the motion tracker only picks up predator movements so maybe my assessment (another issue that needs addressing) before was a little premature but I'm sorry to say aimbots do now exist.
I'm not green to this either. I played AVP2 Hunt mode from the day it launch till the day I got fed up messing with Lithfaqs AVP2browser plugins.

You don't need an aimbot. The game aims for you without the help of external programs, foo'.
Does it? not on my game
I take it thats with a joypad then
Maybe I should use that or better yet re-install AVP2
What i really want to know is why is there no host migration? you either just start a game and it ends straight away or you you are half way through a game and the host leaves, you sit there waiting a while for a game just to end! well when iv upgraded my pc my online gaming is going back to that, even cod 3 had host migration, its no fun at all when you want to get used to maps infact its making not want to play the game online.
Yeah. :(
When i actually get one. :P
Yeah, Host Migration should be a necessity in all new games. lol
Completely agree, host migration is a must these days. We can only hope community pressure aligns with Rebellion's excellent QA we've seen so far.
Hopefully that and Match browsing like the demo had, with better connectivity and we have ourselves a fiesta.
I can't tell you how many times my team has been beating someone and the host just drops near the end and nobody gets their XP.
Ego? I don't understand, it isn't like the game tracks your deaths or penalizes at all. At least stay and lose like a Pred should and let us all rank up a bit.
Such are my pipe dreams ;D
Can't believe Rebellion didn't put host migration RIGHT FROM THE START.
It's common sense these days ... it's as they didn't even look at what current successful MP based games do.
I hope for they sake they realize that and fix it SOON.

No, on all platforms, with all kinds of control. It's less noticeable with a mouse. Regardless, it doesn't aim at cloaked Predators for you... as I said, cloaked Predators are just really easy to spot.
At the moment Ranked matches are just about unplayable for me due to getting booted and then receiving this message "HOST HAS LEFT THE SERVER". This was present in the demo as well and I orginally thought (like many others) that it was just the host rage quitting, but then I noticed when grouped up with some others that not everyone gets booted and receives the "HOST HAS LEFT THE SERVER" message whilst playing on the same server, so basically it is a random game breaking bug/glitch. So for me I can forget about ranking up and unlocking skins, the funny thing is I have not seen that many people report about this on the forums (or any other AvP game related forums).
A damn shame, the game is awesome, but this is a serious game breaker in my opinion.
iv just played another game and guess what? ended early.. what rubbish.

No, on all platforms, with all kinds of control. It's less noticeable with a mouse. Regardless, it doesn't aim at cloaked Predators for you... as I said, cloaked Predators are just really easy to spot.
Am starting to realise that but there is one critical thing that was kindly locked in AVP2. Brightness settings. I wonder how many have whacked brightness up on AVP3 just to easily spot Preds.
Long time lurker but this thread has me coming out for my first post ;D
PC version btw
Pathing issue in the Alien SP campaign tutorial where sometimes a scientist would be standing in the path of the 'armed' test subject. This would cause the game to remain in limbo since the 'armed' subject would continue to walk forward but was unable to pass through the scientist and since his movement is scripted he wouldn't walk around the scientist. Took me forever to figure out why I couldn't continue. Just restarted the checkpoint and the scientist wasn't in the way anymore.
Was getting a application lock up (not responding) after every online match. It would play fine, then after listing the stats where it would go to finishing match it would just go black and nothing. Alt tab and close program was the only way to continue. I updated my drivers for both my video card and Motherboard and now it works just fine.
Stuttering sound during the SP cinematics (graphics play fine though) and while in the MP lobby (might be host migrating). Going to try updating my sound card driver when I get home tonight.
The latency is horrid on most MP matches I play in with my ping almost never going below 1xx and I've seen several matches where everyone but the host had 1xxx ping. I'm sure this is causing the issues where out of 18 people in the lobby pregame, 7-10 might make it into the actual game and 6-8 might actually finish the match. It could also explain the numerous times I have been grabbed mid leap by someone and SKed. It might even explain how I can spam and/or hold the 'e' key when prompted in MP but it is less than dependable as it only works ~30% of the time. It probably also explains how or why my sprint for all races seems to turn itself off and on even though I am holding the sprint key down (I know about the cooldowns this is shorter spurts) and how I get the circle haze for a focus leap yet end up landing right beside them looking like an idiot instead of actually landing a hit (I have had the pleasure of knocking a marine down once w/focus leap in MP). I play SP however and I have no issues like these.

More of a forum issue but ohh well, Does anyone know how to get rid of all these scoll bars in all the posts? I just happened all of a sudden last night.
Ohh and They need Host mirgration asap.
You only get one game per search! wtf??? this is a terrible game for consoles online. Whats the pc mp like anyone?
For ranked matches it's the same....the beta dedicated servers looks promising but we won't know until they get it up and runnning.

At least rebellion is try temping to fix the problems in the game and and listen to the community unlike some game companies like EA and for this rebellion has my respect and you obviously hate the game cause it didn't fit your requirements and keep posting about how bad it is.Why don't you try to make a perfect avp game if you think they did a shity job on it.
Found a temporary solution for the audio!
It seems that most people reporting it not working in gameplay, have, like me, a Sound Blaster card. I made Vista select the integrated sound system (in my case, 'SoundMAX') as a default. I need to wear headphones, but so long as I do this, I can hear things fine now. I just switch it back, after, once I've finished playing it.
QuoteWhy don't you try to make a perfect avp game if you think they did a shity job on it.
Because I'm not getting paid for it. And Rebellion already made a perfect AvP game eleven years ago.
Why don't you try to open your eyes and admit this game is by far not perfect.

Very few games released (if any now a days) are perfect. From MMO's to consoles to phone apps they can range from serious flaws to minor exploits and bugs. You can beta test til your fingers are numb but nothing beats thousands and thousands of gamers actually playing it. It really will make or break a game though based on how well the developer supports it post launch. Judging on how fast they patched the multiplayer game issue with finding matches I'd say we're gonna be alright.
Im not happy at all with the mp, No host migration, No continuous maps, i can never get to play the character i want to play and im waiting ages for matchs.

As a PC user I usually wait 1-2 mins between ranked matches and as noted elsewhere, ranked matches auto select your race. If you are using a PS3 it was mentioned that adding friends can greatly speed up your wait time so when you do get into a game make note of the gamertags and add them to your friends list if possible. Also search through these forums as there are several with the console versions who listed their gamertags for this reason.
This wait includes the time it takes to 'finish the match' all the way back to when the next match starts.

EDIT:I never said that it was a perfect game that I recall.
I think we can all agree perfect is not the word to use for this game. Entertaining? Yes. Are there a few issues? Yes. Is Rebellion going to address these issues? We must wait to see.
I have the PS3 version and the game froze a few minutes ago. Was playing as the Pred in single player and I'm at the Ruins. I was switching visions modes and it just froze. I even have the patch installed.
It's the first time it happened to me, BTW.

I agree, The core gameplay is fine. They just need to fix the bugs and apply Anti-aliasing for dx9. If they Allow AA for DX9 then this game gets a 10/10 from me. Right now due to the graphics and bugs/glitches it gets a 6/10
my wishes for the ps3 AVP:
-fix the soundbugs(weylandvoice in lab and the 1sek nosoundbugs)
-fix the tearing on ps3 when you look around slowly(on the 360 no tearing)
-fix the visionmodefreeze in the predatorcampaign
-an 1080p upscallingoption for the ps3,would be nice ..DEAD SPACE was only 720p,too..but after the patch you can play it in 1080p.it would be ok for me,when i can install the game,and its than running smoother.
please REBELLION fix that and i am happy.the game is so great..dont let it suck on the ps3.
for all AVPplayers on ps3 and 360: my ID is on both

Game stutters, even at DirectX9. It's not a spec issue -- my rig is good enough. The framerate isn't bad... it just stutters.
Any ideas?
the biggest problem online:
WHEN THE HOST IS LEAVING THE GAME ITS OVER!!!
what a f**** is that? >:(
Playing on the PS3 version and the whole multiplayer needs to be redone. Matchmaking, ranked matches, quick matches, even created matches, the whole thing is just a cluster cheese..!!! Really needs reworking.
Worst joining/create match system I have ever played. This is nuts.
Bleh. :-\
I've experienced a few annoying bugs on the Xbox 360 version. If I try to play the game while it's installed on my hard drive, it instantly says "This disc is unreadable" & refuses to work entirely, anyone else have a similar problem?
Also, a few times the sound has cut out completely, I've had to turn off my console & restart the game to fix the problem.

It's a major issue for thousands of people. Official statement of Rebellion for Steam Forums:
QuoteWe are currently investigating this issue, which unfortunately wasn't found during extensive compatibility testing. We believe a few things may be contributing to this:
1) A combination of driver issues and the video memory manager that's used in Vista and Windows 7 under DX10 and 11. We're talking to Nvidia and ATI about this. This may also be responsible for the extreme memory usage that some people are seeing.
2) People using settings that are too high for the amount of VRAM in their video cards. Please note that if you adjust the texture detail settings then you must restart the game for this to take effect. There should be a dialog that advises you of this. Please try using the default Normal setting and seeing if that solves or reduces the problem.
3) The V-Sync and/or Reduce Mouse Lag options. The latter is found under the Controls options menu, not Video. Turning both of these off may help on Nvidia cards. This may be related to the problem described in point 4.xiv in the ReadMe.
As has been noted in this thread, playing the DX9 version instead should also solve this stuttering.
With regards to the low process priority that some people have noticed, this is intentional when you Alt-Tab out of the game, unless you are playing multiplayer. When you Alt-Tab back in, the process priority should return to normal.

Thanks for the informative and personal reply daPING, good luck patching the issue.
What level of texture detail would you advise for a card with 1GB of VRAM? I assumed very high was fine for that level of VRAM, but would you advise another setting?
The best thing we can advise users to do at this point, is to adjust your video settings until the game performance becomes acceptable. Additionally, users can read the Readme file included with the game to see if any other points may be applicable to your setup and if problems still persist, please follow the advice and steps in section 3 of the Readme - "Technical Support".
Future patches and/or Driver releases may improve this issue and we will update you accordingly at that time.
So far they have no idea what the hell is going on. Stuttering is definetly not Your rig related. People with monster-hyper-space-computers experienced stuttering with low settings and at resolution of 640x480 (!!!)
I'm playing only MP right now and stutters appears only in one map, Gateaway, near the gate, when You have this enormous building behind the fence in Your field of view. Stuttering in this place suggest badly optimised code and memory leaks (game can't handle loading of such basic things as skyportals, which are major part of single player campaigns - hence stuttering through the whole SP game).
Stuttering is definetly not spec related issue. For me on highest settings all MP maps work like a charm without any single hiccup. Only SP and gateway, with heavy skyportal use, stutter.
I solved this by simply changing textures from hi to normal, unfortunately. With less data going through VRAM game doesn't goes nuts and badly optimised code don't put CPU usage to 100% (every stutter You experience - Your CPU have total overload for a couple of ms thanks to game engine). However for many people decreasing settings doesn't help at all.
Guess we're waiting for a patch.
Quotewith heavy skyportal use, stutter.
Portal tidying was my guess as well.
My game crashes when I use the flashlight in DX11.
I have ATI 5870 and all the newest drivers. The game doesn't crash or have any issues when playing Alien or Predator. Also, don't tell me to play the game in DX9 mode because there's a tremble in the screen (like having the herz set wrongly for my LCD) and nothing I can do about it. But, really, even if my DX9 version workes fine.. I want to play this damn game in DX11. It's what I bought it for. It's what you Rebellion guys were promoting during the demo version.
I know there's no fix for this whatever we guys who have this problem do (and there's allot of people with this flashlight problem!!!) so all I'm asking here is: Is Rebellion gonna fix this with a patch and how long do we have to wait for it?
Saved game data, hotkey configurations, graphics settings and most distressingly, online rank +skin unlocks are being lost and reset to defaults in the PC game. This is affecting a great many PC users as is evidenced by the pile of threads on the steam forums. This NEEDS to be fixed, and the lost ranks should be returned, as well as the skin unlocks.

I don't see how someone has to "open up". If they enjoy the game so what. Despite its flaws people have found enjoyment out of it. Sure its not the greatest game ever..but it works and its fun. Rebellion did a good job in producing a avp game true to the liscense. I have a feeling a sequel will be much better..perhaps with patches this version will be more stable.
My anger is focused mostly on the multiplayer on the 360. It seriously takes 5 to ten minutes to get into any kind of game, which alone is infuriating.
But then you have the fact that the number of players is just weird, fluctuationg from a full group to only a handful. I've never found it so hard to get into a decent match.
I also encountered a lot of lagging and glitching, something extraordinarily rare for me. Very irritating.
Another issue, which at first I thought was just me, is apperently affecting others. I've noticed that when facing off against aliens and using my block as a predator, the alien's light attack cuts right through. Or sometimes when I'm a Marine I try to melee, but I can't because I'm stunned. Yet when I'm on the other side of the exact same situation, my opponent melees and ends up killing me. Whats with the friggen' double standard? It also pissed me off today when I hit an alien 3 times with my blades, and he kills me in a single hit while at full health. It wasn't even the special kill move, but just one quick swipe.
The demo didn't give me a single one of these problems, yet I'm getting heaped up with these. I hope that the delays, glitching, lag, and match setups are fixed, in which case I should be fairly pleased with play. My other grievances, such as my belief that the Predator is underarmed or underpowered, although I won't blame anyone if they dissagree, is something I'm sure I'll simply have to deal with and hope I merely improve in gameplay.

That's like saying that if you disagree with what your local politician is doing, you need to go and form your own party.
Sorry I apologize for that and will watch what I say just got a bit annoyed on how every post he seems to be posting a complaint about the game and then blaming them when its not their fault and they even posted about it here or he just bashes it.

Yeah, I temporarily fixed it by lowering my textures to medium and changing my resolution to something a tad lower. It's playable, without stuttering, but now the sound cuts out during cutscenes... woops, immersion goes out of the window.

hey guys i was wondering if someone could help me..

Hello Guys,
I got the game yesterday and its great!
But I have one problem whenever I try to join a game , Nothing happens and I have to press ctrl alt delete and close it down,
But whenever a create a game I do not have the problem and its works fine its just when I try and join.
I am using Windows 7 Pro 64bit if that helps
Also in normal game can you earn xp
Everything was fine yesterday, i changed my screen from a 17" to 20" and now, when i go to multiplayer menu, the game crashes. Single player works well.

Just fixed the same kinda issue. You gotta make steam confirm the files..1 is missing probably like mine was. Problem solved now. Try that :)
Hmm,
Are you in the UK could this be a UK problem,
But I don't see why I can create games and they work fine but not join them
Anyone else have any ideas
I've noticed some silly behaviour regarding the pings aswell. Last night we played with a group we play tons of games with. First, the one who always hosts our games took the wheel, he lives in Spain and me (Finland) and other guy (Dutch) had 400+ pings. Then 4th guy joined in from USA, he had a ping of 200 or so. This doesnt happen in any other game we play.
After the first match, the Dutch started to host, the pings dropped to around 250-300 for me and the Spanish guy, but again, the US guy had way lower pings that we had.
I can't say I haven't met any of the bugs many of you describe here, last night a friend of mine had issues with his nvidia 9800, but the moment he rolled back to another driver it worked well? Think maybe driver issues and dx11 support is the main reason why people are having trouble with this game.
A quick patch should fix this I hope...and prey that they will add dedicated servers and crouch (crossing fingers).
im having a lot of difficulty starting a ranked match of infestation with my friends.. it says the max group number is one?? is anyone having the same problem and how have you managed to get round this??
Crouch is never going to be added.
Most of my visual problems are solved (still stutters sometimes, and occasionally a level doesn't load properly and it only displays a couple of items in it with an FPS of 1... reloading fixes it, though), but audio is still being a bitch. Updated my drivers -- to no avail.
QuoteJust fixed the same kinda issue. You gotta make steam confirm the files..1 is missing probably like mine was. Problem solved now. Try that
Veryfiing in the game properties?
and thnx :)
well first off, mach making should no put europeons in with americans......thats the worst idea ever! and match making should pick the best connection overall for the host so evryone is on par with eachother. Patch will fix this id say, just have to wait. Any ports have to be open?? just a thought
Ow, sorry, I wasnt clear on my first post. We had a custom match, so that's why the guy from US was in. :P
As for the ports, the dutch guy had to open pretty much every Steam related port to be able to host, he didnt know which one was for AvP, so he opened everything. :D
Matchmaking is working pretty nicely for me, some times it throws me to a server with horrible ping, but usually it's <100. Guess I'm lucky.

Yep yep =). The Confirm integrity. Mines in norwegian so i cant translate it a 100% correct. Sry lolz,.
Man, the game crashes in the Predator campaign after I killed all aliens in the tutorial and jumping to the other preds.
Is there a fix for this? The other campaigns work well
edit: trying to verify the game files with steam
Pings in Matchmaking is all im gunna point out :)
any game that i managed to get a low ping in i raped evryone lol but when is 300+ its hard to play as alien/pred cause marine bullets just tear through you befor you even realise wats happening lol and if you play as a marine its crap casue its to easy to kill evryone when your ping is tha high so theres no challenge :(
I don't know if anyone has pointed this out as i've not read the whole thread but on the third mission for both Predator and Marine and the game clips through the level and the FPS grinds to a halt, i can't finish the game ugh. :-\

Yeh, agreed. Also, the netcode seems to be pretty unforgiving when it comes to lag. This became obvious when we played the survivor mode and we had 400+ pings. Hits failed to connect or have any effect on the aliens. Also, the melee system doesnt work at all, I ran behind a mate and tried to grab him 4 times from up close but it didnt register it... then he turned around and killed me. :D
You can't. It's to prevent boosting. You can play unranked infestation with your friends though.
I tried a few online games today and it started out pretty well, with 100-150ping on average. Then all of a sudden I join a game with my friend and everyone has 100 ping except me, I'm jumping between 300-400. I leave and me and my friend join a different game... same deal. Everyone else 100-150 ping, I have 300-400. No idea why this was happening considering we were playing with the same group of people with the same player hosting.

thanks for clearing that up for me bro
It's probably because most of the community on this forum suffers from Consolitis, but I can't believe there are hardly any DX11 issues mentioned on this forum but EVERYWHERE ELSE on the internet (by all means, Google it).
I hadn't had any answer to my question 2 pages back: Is Rebellion working on a patch to fix the Marine Campaign DX11 issues (flashlight crash)?
QuoteYep yep =). The Confirm integrity. Mines in norwegian so i cant translate it a 100% correct. Sry lolz,.
Thanks, that worked for me!
Version : Xbox 360 version
Single player.
first one : last fight in the Pred campaign on the center right platform (i'm standing on it) i shot the bugger and it appeared in front of me just standing there i ran away spend 5 mins looking for the bugger lmao to find it standing in the same place so i shot it again and it sprung back into life.
second one : Pred heat vision all corpses are still hot even the hanging ones they should be stone cold lol like the old games kill some one stand there and you see the heat leave there body but not in this game.
Multiplayer.
first problem : Pred discs this needs adjusted a bit all you need to do is stand down a corridor and just keep flinging it down there to get kills pain in the ass.
second problem : When press (X) comes up you press it your character goes to grab them but decides you know what i will just leave them be driving me mad.
third problem : We need host migration badly little tits keep leaving because there crap and keep getting killed.
apart from these i love the game.
oh and to be nitpicky on the pred campaign second level (or third if you include the training as a level think its was the colony level) where the first power cell thing is if you go up top on the railings just past the stairs the railings are not joined (i spend a good deal of time admiring the game)
and please to meet everyone.

the first map level was perfect so god knows why its like this. tried restarting map still same
you probly using steam, i heard something about that steam first time it doesnt install completely so download and reinstal will probably fix it

Aliens vs Predators or Marines Vs Predators?
Hi im here to say how upset i am at how weak you have made the alien race, now before making a lame quote to my thread please read on my opinion.
Why are predators just as strong or even stronger at hand to hand combat than aliens in the game? If you ask me that is ridiculous because they also have 1 hit kill ranged attacks. Facts to back this up-
Predators kill an alien in 2 heavy attacks with their blades, while aliens need to use 3 to kill a predator!
Predators have a charging attack (they start off with first melee hit and can catch someone when running with an attack) Why give such a move to the predators instead of the aliens who need hand to hand combat to win? Often a predator will kill an alien in face to face combat, or even from range. To get close the alien would be lucky.
Now it is said aliens are suppose to hide in shadows and use the darkness to their advantage but how can we do so??? Predators have night vision (aliens glow on their screen, seriously?) and marines have motion tracks (good luck ambushing one) So realy it is almost impossible to catch someone completely off guard in the first place!!! and even if we do get engaged in face to face combat then a predator would almost certanly kill the alien and a marine would just walk back while firing at us because we have no way of stunning them or ranged attacks.
Marines and predators are both very godly compared to an alien on rebellion, so im going to have to say rename the game or buff aliens, ideas for doing so.
-Aliens have a medium-short ranged attack where they spit out some acid, if it gets on the face of the target they hold their face for two seconds in pain, giving the alien enough time to get close and doing some damage itself.
-Give aliens a longer ranged charging attack as they need it more than the predators.
To be honest climbing on walls only holds an alien back because your sort of off course and can easily be killed before reacting, i think predators should not have aliens glow in their night vision, but should just be able to see better in the dark, otherwise, there goes 55% of what being an alien is all about, which is stealth and patience.

So,
I have problems with my brightness settings in DX10/11 mode, DX9 work's fine.
After I've installed AVP the first time I started in DX11 mode. I have a GTX 280 which doesn't supports DX11 but in this mode the game runs better. First I did in the options menu was configuring the graphics but after I've changed the brightness button from 5 to 6 points the brightness went totally dark. Now I can increase the brightness to full 10 points but it stay's darker then in DX9 with 1 point.
I'm not the only one with this problem but I would like to ask if somebody can tell me how to reset the configs to default like it was the first time installed?
I've reinstalled AVP 3 times now, settings always stay the same, and read the help on Steam but nothing helped me out.
The PS3 version of the full game seems to be based on the first broken demo. I have only been able to get into 3 ranked games since I picked it up on the 16th.
Multiplayer needs ALOT of work. Takes forever to get in a match. Today we had a 3 member group trying to get in a matched rank. It joined us with 2 others and we waited a long time, we got sick of waiting so we backed out to try again. After several minutes we got joined up with the same two guys we were with the first time! What are the odds? Maybe everyone else in the world gave up and we were the only five idiots still trying to get in a game???

it doesn't matter lol, this just means i support the idea
Okay so here's the deal, I got the game and i play it non stop. System runs on Windows 7. But when i run the game in dx11 it will crash on startup or when i want to play single player. And if i run the game on dx9 it works on single player fine, but i can not play online no matter how i start the game <even in dx11>. i tried running as admin but that didn't help. I cant figure out how to run in compatibility. I did exceed the System reccommended requirements.
*Anyone else have this problem?
*Any ideas how to fix?
*Any news on the Problem?
This exact same thing happened to me, just right click on Aliens vs Predator in steam, go to properties, local files, then click Verify integrity of game cache, and it should be fine after that finishes. It will find the file that's corrupt and replace it. Hope that helps.
Any word on that Alien campaign glitch? The one where at the beginning of the stage no dialogue is triggered and looking at the doc's hand does nothing?
Had Steam verify the game files and it didn't fix anything. :-\

I don't hear any dialogue during the entire scene, but it plays out properly otherwise, ie looking at the doc's finger has an effect.
Just got hit with the rank reset bug.
Yay. ::)
I would pee blood, as my rank is solely derived from MP.
FOR EVERYONE HAVING .NET AND VERIFICATION ISSUES:
go into your steam folder along the following path:
DRIVE\Steam\steamapps\common\aliens vs predator\redist\VC
click on the redistributable.
for anyone having audio issues with Auzentech or Creative, setting your windows output AND your card output to stereo seems to fix 90% of the issues, yes the game sounds like crap, but at least it'll run.
As a rule of thumb you should take the number of players that the map is supposed to support, and subtract at least 2 from it. There is no way that the maps are big enough to support the number of players that are allowed. Even in an 8 player game, I get spawn killed CONSTANTLY. In my last game I literally took about 3 steps forward before an Alien player stealth killed me. It's f**king ridiculous. It seems as though each map has maybe 4-5 spawn points to chose from, and the game actively tries to spawn you as close to your opponents as possible. If I was playing a fast paced, twitch shooter like Quake or Unreal Tournament that would be fine but I expect a little bit more tension and atmosphere from an AvP game.
Come on Rebellion, get your shit together. People were sick of spawn killing in 2001, we're not going to stand for it in 2010.
So Ive just got my hunter edition for xbox 360, however when i go to download the update it fails and says it cant download the update and i need to check my network and see if im connected to live. The thing is i am, and at a good connection speed as well, but without the update i cant play online... Is there any way i can fix this, there's nothing on the XBL support website so I'm quite worried i might not be able to fix this. :'( :-\
I occasionally have the same problem, it won't let me download an update for a game. Take *your* hardrive off your 360 and take it to a friends house along with the game. And do the update off his/her xbox with your hardrive on it with your game.
Then when you put your hardrive back on your xbox, and put the game in. It will be updated. It's what I do when I have this problem.
Hope this helps, let me know.
Hmmm, yeah i don't think i can take my hardrive to a friends at the moment, i wonder if there's a way i can download the update and transfer it to a USB and then to the 360, thanks for the suggestion though First Blood. That will defs help in the future man, i didn't know that this happens that much.
sorry to be the bringer of bad news but spawn killing is in every 1st person shooter multiplayer game except Americas army that I know of.shit even in mw2 and cod 4 until the game gives a new spot to spawn.Oh yea you spawn in a different area every time you spawn I think.

Now that's just royally f*cked up.
I'm playing the french version of the game (so, i'm sorry for the bad english, i ll try to explain what happens.)
I've met a serious "bone" problem attached to female bodies, i'm taking tequila for an exemple but it happens to all female marines, their shoulders are really "short", when tequila is in a scripted animated sequence when she talks as if it was some kind of cinematic animation her shoulders are "ok" but when she leave the "scripted animation" sequence her shoulders are really bugging and go back into her body a bit, that give her a really ugly shape, as if she had the shoulders of a dwarf, it annoys my eyes a lot on any female marine in the game.
I know i'm not really well explaining it, but look at her shoulders, or at a female marine shoulder it's like they got a "scale" or "position" problem on their animations skulls.
Maybe someone else noticed this problem and will explain it better than me.
I don't know if this was mentioned, but on my PS3, I can't load seperate SP levels. :-\
Oh, the predorder/Hunter maps STILL don't work.

Hi there,
Just wondering is anybody having Issues with AVP on ps3 such as freezing an sound drop outs.
Ive only had one sound drop out on the predator missions a some freezing on the Predator as well.
Thanks
I had a sound dropn while playing the alien campaign but after a reload it was fine all the way through. i guess it happens. lol.
ive got it for ps3 and sometimes when im the pred and change vision modes during a fight the game crashes it made completing it on nightmare diff a real f-ing nightmare does it happen to you guys
I had game crashing a lot during SP on the PS3.
the magical predator punch and alien tail wip that hits you even though the tail or wrist blade never comes in contact with you and has just punched air but no wait the air it punched then punched you wow
Also the magical pull the predator back to you out of the air and back into the stealth kill is still there. I mean when the predator has jumped out of range but is then teleported back into the stealth kill.
Probably a problem on my end, but whenever I click on a server to join (Obviously PC version) my game just freezes up except from the in game mouse icon. I'm going to try again tomorrow, just wondering if this has happened to anyone else.
When the predator is landing at the beginning of the campaign,the sound comes a second too late sometimes.You can see that,when he jumps out of the ship and when he activated his knifes..knifes are coming out..but the sound comes one second later. :(
PS3 Version.

same here but only when play at standard res (take it to work sometimes and have to use portable) just been playin pred camp lvl 2 and just when you jump up the elevator shaft after 2 uscm go down in elevator, i fell between the floor and wall and ended up in the marine refinery lvl in the mine part where the 2 uscm just went in the elevator got to kill them and 1 alien made my way out of the mines and back to where i started as pred but the map was still the marine lvl where i could wander inside the facility just as the rookie did when on marine camp no more enemies showed up and the conveyor thingy that takes you over as a pred wouldnt wrk no mre so reset it
Not sure if this is a bug or not, but sometimes in MP I hear the sound of what I think is a dropship taking off or in the process of crashing (like in Aliens). Its like a whirring sound. Seems kind of random for it to be on purpose.
Okei after playing this game for 3 days I've started to experience a huge pile of graphic issues! ??? like everysingle time I play the game. I've got Radeon 5770 HD graphic card - latest drivers, running dx9 atm. Four of my friends have the same issues, 4880 and 5750 cards (ATI). None of us experienced this until after 3 days of playing! >:(
Please Rebellion patch up your game! we've all given you our money! >:(

verify ur files with steam. Shud help.
It's driving me nuts that the game doesn't work well with SLI. Starts to stutter frequently. >:(
I have noticed though that in standard definition there are no torn screens, but unless you have subtitles on, the cut-scenes are slightly infront of the sound but the brightness is a lot better
Niceee, i just got hit with the rank reset. and game didnt even disconnect. this is lame. lost skins, oh well. dont make much difference.
EDIT: Rank was reset but my kills are still there. So if they happen to fix that bug shouldnt my rank come back to normal?

yup
My rank's just been reset... :-\
I've got no idea why. Only that I'd worked my way up to something like twelve and now it's all the way back to nothingness, once more.
Strange, because I can access all the levels on the campaigns I'd completed.
Matchmaking on PS3 is broken. Hope a patch is coming. I have tried all day long and haven't played a full game all day. I guess I could play campaign until they patch it...
There seems to be a new predator tactic that is quite annoying.
Rebellion Staff, I implore you to fix this because this tactic DOES ruin the balancing you created.
During a melee fight the predator would jump backwards, (bunny hopping) and shoot a charged plasmacaster bolt. He hardly gets damaged because of the jump. I've met two guys that were doing this and it will spread. Yes he has to find a plasmacaster, but doing so is very easy. Same thing can be done with disc, but its more prevalent for the caster due to lock-on. This ruins my precious pred on pred fights that I enjoy so much.
Please, have the plasmacaster unable to fire during a jump. When the pred jumps, make plasmacaster inoperable. Aliens and Preds will NOT like this tactic, as it is very cheap.
If I do the samething back to them, that would ruin the pred fights and aliens will get totally shafted. For instance, instead of hitting a light attack to counter a heavy attack, ill just jump away and fire a caster bolt. Jumping away will do little damage to me, So i will most likely not kill myself.
Nothing to lose and everything to gain if this is employed.
The shoulder cannon is easily evaded. The bolts travel in a straight line. Just make your approach path unpredictable.
Being unable to fire it, just because you're jumping, doesn't really make sense.
"Don't relax just yet, Marines."
Said way too much.

thats if ur far away, this situation is during a melee combat. i bolded, "During a melee fight" bc of ur response. I agree, being unable to fire the plasmacaster while jumping DOES NOT make any sense, but it makes
gameplay sense, and thats the sense that matters. This WILL be abused.

yeah im honestly surprised that they either didn't add more dialogue, or limit the amount of times dialogue is spoken, either one should have been used. when u start to hear that stuff while u sleep, its quite annoying and the marine dialogue is the on-going joke of this game.
Right - I LOVE this game, I loved it at first but the more I'm playing it the more I am really enjoying it!
However - one thing needs to be sorted, the Predator disc! I am Predator as much as I can be (although I'm really enjoying the marines and aliens too) but the disc is just to over powered. It definatley needs a 'cool down' time as to be honest it dosent even take that much nergy to use and your pretty much guarnteed a kill everytime you throw it! I'd say that 2 throws then it needs a 30-60 second cool down period.
I was just in deathmatch where a Predator got so many disc kills by merely throwing it down the corridor - he was getting 2 kills with most throws! thats just unfair and unskillfull.
If this is sorted it would stop alot of spawn kills to as everytime I'm spawn killed its nearly always by a disc.
Apart from this its all good!
Played a few games of multiplayer, then went to a singleplayer round of survival. The menu when you hit select to see the gamertags and teammates was stuck on the screen. I couldn't get it off, so I died intentionally.
Next round, it was there again.
I haven't tried it again. I don't know if anyone else has this issue.
No flares in MP or Survivor
Disc spamming is a HUGE issue
Survivor maps are to small
Lack of weapon selection for the Marine
Flares aren't always red when tossed (see colony level, they light orange in certain spots)
Repetitive lines from the AI
Game freezes from time to time, even on my XBOX360
Most maps feel stale (I like Refinery and Pyramids though and they need to add some sort of old school LV-426 map or something)
When people leave a game cause they are getting owned, you get no experience or a win (total BS)
They fix some of that, I would be happy.

Aside from the poor/rediculous blood animation (especially human), that is my number one issue with the game.
It's just insane how many times you'll hear "Don't let your gaurd down", "Don't relax just yet, Marines", and the same Human death scream over, and over, and over again. It's pretty dissapointing, and extremely annoying.
Sequel advice? Write more lines of dialoge! More Marine models, and more voice actors are desperately needed.
I wonder who did Tequila's voice...I love her.

"What's the matter Rookie? Didn't they go over this in simulation?"
The only real bug I've seen in this game is it sometimes freezes when I play Survivor, and only Survivor. Has anyone else experienced this? I have the game on Xbox 360.
Thanks.

Does anyone else find the blasé attitude in this line a little incongruous considering a completely alien ship has just appeared and destroyed their only way off the planet in less than ten seconds? Sure, great time to poke fun at the newbie. I also doubt any of them would have been through
that particular scenario in simulation, no matter how experienced...
Some times during stealth/trophy kills the person I'm performing it one will simply drop down dead, and the animation will either get interrupted...or finish on a invisible target.
This happens ALL THE TIME.
Its rather lame...

Happens to me 90% of the time. I get the kill, and it goes by faster so I don't have to worry about getting stealth killed.
But I would rather not feel like I am cheating.
In addition to rampant portal juju, apparently there's a severe texture culling issue AND a memory leak. Running on very high tex causes eventual creeping frame drop, even with 2/4 gigs of video memory, and 24 gigs of regular memory.

This. Very annoying.
Not read through all pages so dont know if posted but i just crash on pred campaign
Spoiler
as i got the disc
Game has been flawless up till then on max dx11 settings, no stutterings and smooth as silk ???
just tried loading my pred save and now that is bugged and crashes at the same point :'(
The only real bug I've come across on the 360 is the delay between stealth kill activation and animation - or perhaps the long distance from victim where you can still perform the kill - such that often I'll be in the air jumping to another spot and then get pulled back about twenty feet to have a tail go through my torso. Equally, being positioned 10 feet behind a marine should not allow you to be able to stealth kill him.
To be perfectly honest, I find the concept of holding down the X button to be the cause of these problems. If it was a tap in close proximity with a narrower time window, I believe one could eliminate these issues. The kill animation would activate quicker and the target wouldn't have jumped or ran ten feet away during the delay.

I always button bash the attack buttons if a Pred grabs me - seems to help me get out of there grip lol
Just finished the single player game with no issues at all, so I decide to hop into multiplayer, but once I started searching for a match, it just crashes, ranked and player match. I'm running the DX11 version, is anyone else having any problems like this? It would absolutely suck if I can't play multiplayer.
check your cache files integrity, if some files are missing or broken, steam will download them for you again
How would I do that exactly? I didn't download it from Steam, got the Hunter edition.
Just noticed that my posts been moved to here, sorry I didn't see it before! :P

You can't play the game without Steam. :-\
I know but I thought he meant that I had downloaded the game from Steam which I didn't, just tried it in DX9 and it still does it, I waited a for a minute on the match mode screen just before it searches and it didn't crash straight away but rather after a few seconds, man this sucks.
Im sick and tired of hosts leaving the game just 1/2 mins before the end.
I get increasingly annoyed by being knocked over: no matter what you do, you won't stand up again. You're dogmeat, pal.

Go to your Steam games list, right-click Aliens vs Predator, click Properties, and there should be the button "verify game integrity" or something similar. Try that.

Very true. I still have my faults on that part :P
Something I just found out (possible slowpoke, sorry), if you leave auto-transition on and simply rotate on the spot as an Alien, the AI will sometimes decide to stick you to a different surface. You can try it for yourself.
Stand in a corner or on an platform edge and simply use your mouse to turn 360 degrees. There's a good chance that'll you'll suddenly start climbing a wall or move down a ledge. It's no wonder people find the wall-walking so disorientating.
Spoiler
In the Colony level, at C block, when your mate dies you're stuck. Does anyone else have this? It says I gotta kill all xenos, but there arent any. Tequila told me to go to the blockage: nothing
and the worst thing is that I was doing it on nightmare.

Thats because you playing as an alien walking on all fours with the camera at one end. In order to keep the camera in the same place when turning the back legs actually have to move. If your back legs go off a ledge or up a wall then what do you expect? Your not going to stick your ass through the wall.
They are obviously screwed up; the scores are astronomically high, and they all have the exact same amount of time played, and its more time than the game has been available. Anyone know what's going on here? Any word on a fix? I love Survivor and I'd like to at least see what some legitimate high scores are.
I don't think it's that hard to separate the real ones from the nonsensical ones....
they were all nonsensical as far down as I scrolled. How far down do you have to go?
Is it true there is a problem on Nvidia cards where it'll randomly freeze up for a good 2-5 seconds then go back to normal? I was playing tonight with some guys and they said they had the problem I'm having.
- if a pred connects with a pounce, he can continually pounce until you are dead - too stunned to get the block up -
- the disc is one of the most poorly constructed weapons I have ever seen, absolutely the worst, most spammable gun ever
- the matchmaking, at least in the PS3, is atrocious - I average about four players a game, tops!!! - if I can find a game
- the pred tears apart aliens in melee (wtf?), I still do well enough as an Alien, but I refuse to play as the predator unless forced to, as I do not even have to try, and I will be top of the leaderboard (mines, free kills - plasma caster destroys at distance - if an Alien does get close enough, it is almost hard to lose the fight (pounce stun, disc-to-the-face, destructive counter).
^^^ Game breakingly bad, and no word from the developers. I feel cheated, and almost sort of angry that I payed for this game.
If a pred gets a pounce in, he can heavy attack a marine to death and add a light attack on top of that if it's an alien. Continually pouncing doesn't really make a difference.
I'm having latency issues on the full PC version of the game, detailed in the following:
1. My HUD won't be drawn for a few seconds after I spawn (5-15 seconds of no HUD)
2. Pings are all over 200, players rubberbanding/warping all over the place
3. Taking a melee hit doesn't shake my screen, splat blood, or make a sound.
4. Often after respawning, I won't be able to move for a few seconds.
5. Finally, I played the demo and had none of these horrid latency issues, this only began once I attempted to play MP in the full game.
It is also noteworthy to say that I have played many other PC shooters, and my ping is much lower in those, always below 80 or so.
Please help.

It's like those god aweful Quick-Time-Events without having a visual clue.
the badest thing in MPis,that the game ends,when the host is leaving the game.and the host are often leaving the game,when they don't making good kills.
Yep. Host bailing sucks. Host migration please.
I sent this message to the rebellion website, and they redirected me to this forum.
I have a lot of trouble finding an online game, and I do mean A LOT of trouble. ??? Sometimes it can take upwards of 10 to 15 minutes or more to find an online game, even then it's with barely 3 people. I am from Australia so I thought it might just be our country having issues. From what I've heard, it's not just us. I still play other games online, with no fuss, so I'm positive it isn't my service connection.
Another issue I'm having as I'm positive it is happening everywhere, is when the host of an online game quits, all other players are kicked to the menu. This makes it incredibly frustrating when I have to wait so long for a game, only to have it ended prematurely by someone....
Rebellion have created an amazing game, I just hope that some of the online issues are resolved so I too can enjoy the ultimate multi-player experience....
Found this while lookin for news on a patch.......thought it might help any folks havin problems like game crashing.
some people seem to be having intermittent crashes to desktop (CTD), black screens, stuttering, distorted, delayed or lagging audio both in game + in cutscenes and various other problems
http://filenetworks.blogspot.com/2010/02/fix-aliens-vs-predator-3-avp-3-2010.html
hope it helps
^^ Awesome find. Any luck finding news on a patch, or a release date for dedicated servers? Which should have come out with the damn game...
I'm pretty sure it takes forever to find quick match (unofficially renamed "very long match") on both the 360 and the PC as well? I queue up with 2 of my friends, and we always have to wait close to 5 minutes to get a game, sometimes more if unlucky.
I sure hope the PS3 isn't the only platform getting a revised quick match.
i was only looking for about half an hour and i found nada......ill keep lookin, even a little hint of a patch is good news so hopefully somthing will pop up :)
do we really need another thread about this?
Last night i actually had zero problems, it was awesome.
i agree the matchmaking on the PS3 is completely broken and when it does work it only matches you up with 2 or 3 other people its completely ridiculous.it seems like the games dieing out too because of it if rebellion doesn't patch it soon i think this games gonna be a ghost town online sadly.can any of the devs please let us know if oyu guys are going to fix this?

Same i was an alien and got shot by a predator got knocked over, heres me starting to hit my sprint button as i start to get up only to be killed by the same pred :((
Indeed, once you're knocked down you're dead meat unless a team mate saves your ass. That's why I said it's a fairly pointless mechanic, because for all intents and purposes you're dead meat so knock-down may as well be replaced with instant kills in most cases.
I mean wtf was Rebellion thinking with the shoulder cannon knockdown? There is absolutely no way you can stand up from the first blast, the only reason you'll survive is if the predator is trolling you and allows you to stand up just so he can knock you down again. =/
Hey guys, i got a problem which isn't really gameplay related, more like technical.
So i was playing one of the pred missions on nightmare. Then i just decide to go for some multi and it says Steam was unable to connect. So i quit and restart the game and this is what i get from steam:
"If you have played this game from another computer, your game settings and/or progress may not be in sync with what is stored in the Cloud. If you play the game now, you may lose thos changes and progress"
I've tried simply rebooting the PC, which didnt change anything.
Ofc i've played this game on my PC only. Seems just like a pretty random issue. If i decide to play guess i'll loose all SP progress and MP ranks/skins ye? :-\
Steam reset my rank and i lost all my skins and also they changed the control/sound/graphic settings back to standard. :(
Quote"If you have played this game from another computer, your game settings and/or progress may not be in sync with what is stored in the Cloud. If you play the game now, you may lose thos changes and progress"
Same here.
Lost connection to steam - close AvP - try to restart it - get this message - restart PC - start AvP again - BOOM!!! ^look above quote.
I didn't loose my SP progress, but everything else.
Too get the multiplayer game I want I have to select the number of players and map. Because If I choose ANY, then you will usually get a small game with 2-3 people. ::)
LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...i busted my ass again up rank 22, and then steam crashes and all ppl have lost their friends and ranks are back to 1..roflmsao

It's a Predator; that's probably the exact intent.
So basically i'll have to loose all SP and MP progress in order to play the game again?
Random bugs FTW.....
:-\
Seems like a technical issue with steam.
Losing your rank is probably NOT a problem with steam though.
I have had disconnections from steam before, and with other games the loss of rank or achievements is only ever temporary. This is the first game I have played where a problem with Steam has completely wiped people's ranks and/or achievements. So I'm thinking it's a problem with the game and not Steam.

I've never liked steam..what you see mentioned above is part of the reason >:(
Playing as an Alien and Fighting a Predator is really really starting to cheese me off now, nine times out of ten i lose , most of my kills are stelf kills, even when i surprise a Predator i lose, and some times when fighting a human i shake my head, are these Aliens based from Aliens vs Predator Requiem by any chance?
oh the Aliens Melee sucks donkeys balls...
Aliens SHOULD NOT be knocked down every time they get countered by light attack. It's stupid that predators merely get stunned, cannot be knocked down and own alien asses at melee. Plus they have ranged weapons that most of the time kill in one shot! Where's the balance?!
Even a marine can totally own an alien in melee...

Nobody can prevent walltails, unless you can run to a place where the roof isn't low enough or the walls aren't close enough. If you're attacking head on as an alien and get countered to deaht it's because you haven't mastered the playstyle.
Well, today i played AvP for a while, on the Marine missions, I saved a checkpoint, then quit the game. Then later on i went to play again and my checkpoint was gone, and more importantly all my AUDIO DIARIES that i had collected have gone.... I had around 35 now i have 10.... The only thing i changed was the music volume slightly. Apart from that i have no idea what has happend. Very annoying though :-\ :'(
Any suggestions?
Maybe this is a bug that needs to be reported to Rebellion?
In all fairness I've been using steam for 6 years and this is the first time I've ever experienced such a significant problem.
Yes, but when you play on a map like jungle or ruins it's totally different story. And I'm talking from the perspective of a predator player. Maybe I haven't faced any good alien players but when I play as a predator usually I win or a marine does.
Having steam cloud is nice, but twice i have lost connection to steam (unable to sync with steam cloud) and twice my 'PC keyboard control configurations' have been reset :-[
Is anyone aware of an option to disable steam cloud -or- can i set my pc control preference in stone?
Yes this glitch also happened to reset my rank a few times, I decided to just screw it, and use the single player xp glitch to get my rank back.
This isn't really a huge problem. But I find it kinda odd. My rank used to be 25. But after I played some campaign I noticed that my rank was 36. Has this happen to any one else?

Pretty common actually.
Umm I have Alien vs Predator for the Computer, but it isn't working right. I can get to the menu and all, but when I get into the gameplay the screen goes black before all the huds and stuff appear and then it just has a message pop up saying: Alien vs Predator isn't working properly or something like that, anyone got any awnsers

Well im back to rank 1 with no skins so..... Oh but nothing happened to the SP progress.. yay -_-'
Has anyone else noticed that it takes four (or more) tail strikes while wall-walking to kill a marine in single player?

//edit
Got it. "validationg steam game files" in progress
Was doing that on DX11 for me, I have not problem running it on DX9.
(first time post) anyways a problem i just ran into is that all of my mission scores, achievements and even all my multiplayer XP has vanished. Weird thing is that i can still access all my single player missions, so the game "knows" i done em but no scores or anything.
Tried finding an AVP3 support forum or something but nothing.. anyone got any ideas what to do? (tried resetting comp and steam)
It's a bug, it happened to a lot of people. We are waiting on a fix.
I downloaded a patch last night...What is it doing (Ps3)?
Oh thanks... was already freaking out :P though if i now do single player for example and gain score, would that affect the fix?

There is a glitch at the part of the alien campaign when u foight the two preds if u try to TK them but there mask is still on the mandibles will go through and u will see them
Try this bug:
I destroyed the last canister, expected to be getting the "Quite A Specimen" achievement. Did not get it. Thought to myself how this could be. I exit the game and check Steam. Steam is acting up. All my friends were gone. Hrmm.. then Steam says it has updated, could that be it? I restart. Still no achievement, and still no friends in my list.. peculiar.. so I boot up the game. This is what I find:
- I lost ALL audio diaries (got them all), canisters (got them all, just did not get the achievement) and belts (had around 10 left)
- I lost all level progress
- I lost ALL MY RANK!!!! I was 18, now I am 1 (this is what makes me the most upset) I worked hard and long for those XP only to be buttwhacked down to the stone age... NOT cool :P
Result? I uninstalled. I refuse to play a game that effectively robs you of all your hard efforts. Sure, I can use the XP exploit to get my XP back, but it is a matter of principle: I don't cheat.
:( I can haz money back now?

Because it was suggested to me before..
Unlockable content can be fun... but forcing us to unlock basic stuff like multiplayer skins is bullsht. It's a very artificial way of trying to make the game look like it has more content, and give players a sense of accomplishment. PROTIP REBELLION: Grinding levels does not give a sense of accomplishment.
The Predator/Alien collectable items are also a crock of shit. You're collecting them simply for the sake of it, there is no reason to do it except to earn a badge that says "Hey look at me, I was dumb enough to waste my time searching for pointless items!". At least the marine audio diaries are (sometimes) interesting to listen to but again Rebellion artifically increased the content by making the audio logs ridiculous short.
Another protip for Rebellion: When you have audio diaries that contain interesting information and backstory, don't split them up into almost 10 logs per level and don't force the player to actively hunt for them. Condence them down in number to maybe 3 or 4 per level and make them fairly easy to find, so that every player can have their experienced enriched. Plot and backstory should not be f**king optional.
Also, AvP2's text logs were also great.
There's no reason to stick to just one approach. Some things are better under certain media, and text as a format imbues words with a different context. An audio-log, for instance, is probably meant as a record of something. A text log may be meant as a message for someone else. Piecing these together in AvP2 was fun.

It's a bug, it happened to a lot of people. We are waiting on a fix.
The fix is too late, I want my rank back :P

Thanks for the update Trigger. Thanks for the great game and hopefully ... sequel.
Well i got that lame glitch that makes all your skins disapear in multiplayer. Any idea how to get them back withouth doing it like that lame video showed? I wanna earn em fair n square.
Keep playing as normal for now, you will keep earning XP (check your personal stats to see how many XP you've achieved). After the next patch your rank will be back to its real value.
(dumb question) but when is the next patch coming? and if i now do multiplayer will that stack up to my unbugged rank?

Has this been confirmed by a developer? Because that sounds an awful lot like wishful thinking to me.

Agree, ur rank is lost in oblivion
XBOX 360:
During trophy/stealth kills that involve predator ripping out the spine, from the receiving Marine's point of view I noticed some nasty clipping where the camera would get stuck in my character. Happens more frequently when I have a smart-gun equipped, sometimes theres no clipping at all.
I'm sorry if this has been answered before but I'm new to this game and last night I was in a ranked DM with two other players (PD,Alien) and I was a marine. During the whole match my motion sensor would repeatable show 10 or more motion blips on it.
Is the something that the (PD,Alien) can initiate or turn on in a MP match?
Thanks,
Once again, the game crashes and i gotta revalidate all the files from steam.!!!! f**k!§

You were probably playing the Pyramid map, the MT detects the movement of the shifting walls.

Nothing officially confirmed yet as the details for the PC patch 2 are still pending and might be subject to change, but that's indeed the way they want it to be fixed. Just don't waste your time using the glitch to get ranked.

Personal stats do not show XP gained from this glitch. I discovered this glitch by accident, and even up leveling from 13 to 19 after I completed a marine campaign mission. My stats page displayed around 1200 XP, but it should be around 2000ish XP for level 19.
I've never experienced the rank-reset-bug ??? Been playing for almost a week now...
And BTW nice to see [REB]Trigger dropping by, telling us there's already been an update to this game,it means that Rebelliion actually has been reading these forums - which is a good thing :)

That's the point. If you got hit by the XP glitch, the XP your earned that way shouldn't show up on your personal stats. However, the XP you earned via propper ways shouln't disappear from your personal stats even if your rank gets reset.
My account got reset a few times already and I keep earning XP w/o any problems, it's just the number on my rank which is wrong.

And the there apparently is an elevator, if you get in the elevator no aliens will come in and hurt you they will just sit outsite of the elevator. Apparently this works for all elevators too.
I haven't tried it, it is just what I've heard. He was playing on PC.
Aliens usually don't go through any portals, unless crawling, where the potential goes way up.

Indeed. I was on the 360 btw.
I don't think its a glitch tho, as I was on the tiny bridge and the praetorian was to large to walk on it.
I do remember the smaller aliens attacking me on it tho, so maybe it is a glitch your talking about, and I simply found a different spot.

Yeah, this is a fact. Also, you cannot enter elevators as an alien (there is one on Refinery, near the beginning when a security detail is supposed to appear).
Another bug, the alien that appears behind the doors you pry open at the very beginning of the alien campaign can clearly be seen through the door as it spawns there.
bump, still need help
Not really a bug but a feature request:
Being able to search for a particular map as well when doing a Quick Match search.

Yes. That ought to be reasonably easy. They will have had that facility during production and testing.
Hi I am new to the forum so hi; but I have been having probs with AVP on my PS3 and can't seem to find any related issues online so thought I would try here.
My main problem is that when I complete a campaign it says incomplete - at the moment I have completed all 3 campaigns and when I complete say the Marine campaign it will then change the Alien campaign to incomplete and vice versa - I have played the final missions of each campaign almost a dozen times and this keeps happening so I cannot get the game over trophy for finishing all 3 campaigns!
I haven't collected all the voice memo's but that shouldn't matter as if I complete the campaign it says complete but if I then go and complete another it then says incomplete.... A bit fo a mouthful but was hoping someone can advise as too me it seems like a glitch and maybe there will be an update that can fix this?
Apart from that I have had probs with my ranking simply reseting then not moving too and probably one of my main concerns is lack of a "Mute" option on Multiplayer! It can be as bad as MW2 at times with some players talking absolute BS and even worse ruining the atmosphere by playing music!
If I have posted this in the wrong thread please advise and accept my apologies, I'm a newbie on here ;o)

Fix DX11 flashlight crash.
Are they cheating or somthing? but i saw this alien player stealth kill me only to find out he switched onto the marine team in the same game. How is this possible?
I've had the biggest bug once in a TDM... i couldnt see my name in the lobby, and when the game started i basically switched teams every time i died, cycling through the 3 races....was pretty funny and sucked at the same time :-\
Anyone else had the same thing?

Which is a symptom of a pirated version is it not?
Last night I was playing on the XBOX 360 and got into a Team Species DM. There where 4 aliens , 3 Pred and 4 Marines in the room to start. Right before the match begins 3 of the Marines dropped out leaving me as the lone Marine against the other teams. Why did it not at that point switch me over to the Predator team to make the teams even?

Halo 3 doesn't even do that. Sorry.
I have given up on multiplayer for the PS3 system.
1) Can't get in a ranked game unless I want to search for a game longer than it actually takes to play a ranked game.
2) no mute. Only option is to mute everyone, which is not ideal.
3) No host migration.
4) Going all the way out of the lobby to your group after a ranked game. You have to start the whole game search all over again. See #1.
5) Ranked Species DM needs the ability to switch species or at least balance the teams out.
6) It would be nice to get the skins from my pre-order at some point in the near future.

Single player Marine campaign, just after you get to the Dropship, the waypoint marker updates, then loads of Xenos attack. Fell through the game world.
Happened several times on the same bit; fighting off lots of Xenos on some steps next to the Dropship. I'm either at the side, bottom or top of the steps, near a wall, I get hit by a Xeno (or two) and then am falling backwards, down and away from the level, which ends up a tiny square in the 'sky', then my weapon vanishes and I die.
and also
QuoteGood comedy bug very early on in the Marine campaign. When you're wandering around in the dark, you find yourself the wrong side of a sheet of glass. Glass that stops bullets but allows flares to pass through unhindered.
i also fell through map but as pred on lvl 2 didn't die landed in marine refinery lvl so got to kill couple extra foes in the mines but the lift didn't return to take me over so had to reset 2nd time fell through i died
Issue: Host has left the game... but hasn't really...
Description: A game breaking bug that causes the player to get kicked/booted from the server after a few minutes of playing whilst receiving the message "Host has left the game", this happens EVERY SINGLE TIME I play on a server that isn't hosted by me, the funny thing is the host doesn't actually leave the server (as being told by people in your group who are still playing on that server)... this is the biggest "WTF" issue present in the game due to the fact it pretty much makes the multiplayer unplayable.
Since this issue has not been stated by that many people I originally assumed it had something to do with my connection/setup, however all my other steam games work just fine whilst playing online. I also figured it cannot be anything to due with port forwarding because the game runs through steam where the ports are apparently all setup correctly for steam and all the games being run through steam, same goes for firewall.

Ok it said it had something wrong, so I just reinstalled it, now it is playing, but when I get into the real game play all there is, is just a blue screen with like the amount of bullets I have, health, stems, ect..
How can I fix this? I really want to play
I was in this elevator and OMFG i fell through the god damn floor. And then my character was dropping into nothing and when i looked up i could see the whole level. Thankgod the drop through the level was classed a fatal drop or else i would of been stuck.
Why does this game have so many bugs/glitches/crashes.
Was it rushed?
First off, I've used the search function and I can't see anywhere to put this, but sorry if a similar thread has already been started.
I pre-ordered the Hunter edition for PC in Australia and I was expecting it to come with the maps and skins but it has neither of them even though on the back of the case it says that it comes with the maps. Any ideas why that would be?
And just under an 1hr ago, it seems my game reset and I lost all my XP, control settings, etc and I was just about to get the praetorian :'(
Has this happened to anyone else?
Yes, happened to me too (just got to rank 18 when it happened)... just hang in there. Rank is not all, the game is still enjoyable :)
You should've gotten two pieces of paper in the box with codes for activating the skins and maps. Just punch them in and you'll automatically get the stuff.
Its about 12pm central US time. And no one is playing ranked or non-ranked games according to my steam. Is steam down? Or is no one really playing this game anymore. :(
*edit* I have restarted steam and my computer, still no one is online.
This Match-Making system is so annoying -___- especially if you try to rank up with friends... its impossoble to find the mode you want :/
Where are the old and good stand-alone servers???
...
dD.
Thanks for the help, I found the one for maps but I can't find the skins one :-\ oh well.
That reset is a real pain, sorry to hear about your one.
When I survive and win last man standing the score sheet shows my character as an alien, it should display a marine picture. (xbox 360)
I'm getting weird graphical problems on certain maps.
In that valley/canyon on ruins by the stairs:
(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi718.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fww182%2FDurialownsu%2Fglitch2.jpg&hash=04cd9871954c8c29e2c27a2c8b85b50fd6c0da8a)
And on Gateway, in the compound theres a bunch, near that open area by the big door. This one was on the tall broken building:
(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi718.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fww182%2FDurialownsu%2Fglitch.jpg&hash=e5e1a97f569ca441aa192d764cc417dd6b0074e7)
All that happens is I walk into a certain spot and it glitches out like that. Those are the only two maps ive had problems.
Radeon 4890 and catalyst 9.10 if it helps (i know its outdated :p)
Up until now, it was running mostly smoothly, but ever since downloading the automated Windows update for new Nvidia GeForce 9600 GT drivers, I'm encountering a lot more forced 'pauses'. Especially as the Predator, although I find there are a lot less of those if you decloak yourself.
Going to experiment with the DX 9 version and turning off a few options, much later.
I'm woundering all is it my connection or just the devs have messed when it comes too match making on the 360.
I am getting tired of
1 not being able to have constant games with friends in my live room, who for some reason keep getting kick back to the lobby when I join a game so I have to step out and restart..
2 when you get a game and if people drop out they should lose a rank, same as in madden football (im a brit who like this game, and when I'm beating yanks after the 2 minute warning 4th quarter and i'm winning many yanks drop out, but I get a bonus and they loss points).
3. why cant I host a ranked game same as in rainbow vagas six 2 or even dedicate my system as a dedicated server.. I have a T1 line to my house.
I love the game but the MP is destorying it...
Unfortunately I had to cancel a LAN party over this.
Even though AvP 2010 seems as though it can host a listen server and browse LAN games without the Dedicated Server, unfortunately all of multiplayer is blocked off if Steam's running in Offline Mode. Where I host in Clanton, AL, the recreation center lacks an internet connection and because it's a town in the sticks, there's no 3G wireless we can share.
For Quakecon in Texas, every year the connection to Steam is blocked remotely because of too many connections from a single IP, and that's on top of the overtaxed bandwidth as-is. I'm sure there's plenty of other LAN party communities both large and small that are affected by this, because internet is scarcely found at any LAN held at a rec center or warehouses, and most large corporate LANs that I've been to. If internet is even available, you can be sure it's unreliable.
Rebellion, please allow us to properly host and browse for the game at LAN parties when there's no connection to Steam.
If the multiplayer is blocked out of fears for piracy, I believe these fears to be unfounded. Team Fortress 2 allows for multiplayer in offline mode, and that's damn near impossible to pirate for LAN parties because of all the version mismatches since patches are delivered only through Steam. Assuming that AvP will be patching in the same manner since it's so closely tied to Steam, it should be a non-issue. Everyone who wants to play will need a legit copy of the game, and if the game's any good, that isn't a hard thing to pull off. Really it only drives sales.
I love PC gaming for three reasons: Mouse+Keyboard, mods, and LAN parties. But if developers continue to follow this dangerous trend of crippling LAN play, there would no longer be a reason to host LAN parties, and that would be a sad day indeed. :'(
I encourage everyone that is affected by this issue to please contact SEGA (http://help.sega.com/?group=englishusa&t=EnglishUSA) (registration required) and voice your opinion.
And yes, this is essentially a repost from my thread in the Steam forums, but I hear that Rebellion developers actually browse this forum so I'm posting here for more visibility. Please do not derail this thread with immature "pirates always win" or "I want LAN so I can play for free"-type crap. That doesn't help.
Is it just me or does it really take such a long time just to play 1 game online the xbox360?
Its driving me crazy and most of the time ill just leave the room and do something else until I hear the loud women voice in background "SPIECE DEATHMATCH KILL EVERYTHING!" lol
Im not a MW2 freak but I have to admit it takes less then 10 seconds from loading the game until actually in a multiplayer game
Hey Guys
(PC Version AVP2010)
I bought this game ONLY for the MP aspects but now find I cant find ANY internet games to connect to here in Australia. If I change my region to US or UK then I can see 4 or 5 games in Player Match browse. I can never get connected to any games in Ranked mode. What is going on? I have seen a few people in different forums all complaining of the same problem.
By the way I have absolute,y no problems connecting to other Steam games in MW2 and Crysis
mem leak? is there a memory leak or something? it runs kinda stuttery but im getting 60fsp? i have 4 gigs of ram and quade core.
yes i totally agree with Androktasie. There needs to be a lan option for AVP.
Thats super important for gamers to have fun at lan parties and helps a game last way longer in the long run.
It needs to be like tf2, cs 1.6, source, battlefield 2, starcraft, the list goes on. Or else AVP is gonna be left in the dust.
Competitive games need a lan option!
This "Hotfix" didnt fix the hangs..just made em go away for a few hours..their back now and they like it. -.-. Poor matchmaking btw..god.
The matchmaking on the 360 is really slow and sometimes I cant even find a game even if I choose any gametype but the most annoying thing of all however is when a host quits the game just before the end of a match and no one gets any xp regardless of how well they did. Is there someway Rebellion could implement host migration or perhaps just some work around to allow people who didnt quit the match the xp and kills they acquired up to that point.
Okay, I'm pissed as crap right now.
I was enjoying the Pred campaign, when it freezes up on me. Yes, vision mode changing...and in the MIDDLE OF A FREAKING OBJECTIVE SAVE THING!
Now it won't let me play, saying that the trophy registration thing is failing to sync up or something. What do I do to solve this problem? I really need your help guys. Heck, I even deleted my save data thinking that would help. It didn't.
Btw, I'm on the PS3.
Thanks in advance.

Okay, I'm pissed as crap right now.
I was enjoying the Pred campaign, when it freezes up on me. Yes, vision mode changing...and in the MIDDLE OF A FREAKING OBJECTIVE SAVE THING!
Now it won't let me play, saying that the trophy registration thing is failing to sync up or something. What do I do to solve this problem? I really need your help guys. Heck, I even deleted my save data thinking that would help. It didn't.
Btw, I'm on the PS3.
Thanks in advance.
HOLY SHIT!!! I just got the same problem! I was playing Marine campaighn, though. Can you log into PSN? Do you also have the error # 8001050F ?
Yeah, it's that same error message. Of all times to freeze up on ya huh? Some bad luck I carry.

Try logging in and tell me what happens. This really sucks, I don't want to shell out $150 for Sony to open my PS3, blow out the dust, and close it up and send it back. >:(

I can't sign in. It's definitely not my connection though. I went to the gamefaqs avp boards, and it seems that they have the same problems whenever trying to get into PSN.

Uh oh... Well I flipped the switch in the back like 2 hours ago and now I'm going to start it up and try again.
EDIT: I was told PSN is only updating and we'll be fine. But I can't confirm this. I was also told it was scheduled maintinence.
idk if it's a bug but alot of people have had an issue with it.
If you play online and you try to interrupt someones' heavy attack with a light one, 9/10 times you'll end up slowly skating across the floor to hit them...slow enough that the other player has time to finish his heavy attack.
playing on 360 by the way

Yeah, apparently, this error is worldwide and seems to be only affecting older models like mine, a 40gb ps3.
IGN had the news on their front page. I guess all we can do now is wait.
Yea, just found this site: http://playstationlifestyle.net/2010/02/28/playstation-network-goes-down-ps3-titles-not-working/
I got 40g too. Look at the clock it says it is the 31st of December!

Dunno if anyone has noticed this but for some reason when i block someone's light attack, it still managers to get through. Could be down to latency but i dunno seems fishy,
And once this guy didn't even appear on the motion tracker. And this one guy switched from Marien and Alien and back again several times during a match. Again even more fishy.
Arghh.

Ya this is latency issues. I use to think the same thing. But I found a guy who when he hosts I get a 30 ping and it makes the combat system 100x smoother.
When i validate the files on steam, it always says 1 is missing and reaquires it. When it is done reaquiring, I go ahead and re-validate, and it says the same file is missing agian. I mean the game runs fine, it is just weird.
I'm sorry if this got posted some place before, I didn't manage to spot it...
The problem I have is a single-player game breaking one - there is no sounds in cutscenes (Aside from opening movies), no narration from characters during the game and no sound from audio logs in the marine campaign.
For example when you meet Tequila in the Marina campaign for the first time she doesn't say anything, you just get your new objective and off you go. You never hear her over the radio either.
Apparently this gets fixed by installing the DX that's packaged with the game but it didn't do me any help.
Serves you right for buying a pirate copy.
Er... it's the steam version, not a pirated copy?
Todays patch is suppose to fix some sound issues I think. It's certain sound cards that have problems.
Just checking in to see if the PS3 version is fixed yet.... back to Borderlands.
We really need more mouse sensivity range. The actual bar maxed out just won't do the job for me and other people.
I just logged on to play the best game in the world, and my rank is now Rank 1, my saved games are gone, and all of the campaigns read as incomplete, back to the first level.
...?
Did they do some sort of reset or something? Because now I'm majorly-pissed off. I still have all of my achievements ((Thank god.)) But everything else is gone.

I havnt played this game since release (PS3) because:
a) It takes forever to find a ranked match
b) theres never more than 4 people in it
c) IF the match starts, you have to wait for find a new party after
d) and if the host leaves your f*cked.
Seriously this has been the biggest waste of $60 ever

I think we can all agree on that.
hey, no matter when i try to find any games ( ranked or not ) no games ever come up
this is makking me sad because i could play the demo and i really want to play some infestation games
any ideas why this is happining?
play game not ranked, get in browse, change search factor by host - dedicated servers/internet, browse=profit?
i hv tried dedicated interernet servers before, but not after the patch i will try that when i get home
Sick of having two player matches. Couple that with no Host mirgration. and Disk spamming, and you have a broken game.
Decicated isn't working for me. It just comes up with a message "Warning connection issues" and brings me back to the main menu saying "Connection to host timed out"
So i can't go on that. No one is playing suvival.. So im stumped. The online in this game is just gonna die in a few months. I love the game i really do. Ive waited years for it. But the online feels like a letdown.. It's great they keep patching it. But the patches are adressing nothing major. In terms of balanced and stuff.
Ever since deicated servers got released everyone has moved onto them. Meaning i can't play ranked anymoer and get new skins

This was how it was always going to turn out.
well I was able to play ranked games, dunno what you guys are talking about
I cant believe it, but i just installed the new NVIDIA Drivers 196.75 and i still cant believe it...
- No stuttering anymore when i start and play the game under directX11 ;D
- Overall performance seems to be improved and everything is a lot smoother ;)
I didnt try out the DirectX9 mode, but im just happy that the stuttering is gone now.
There's only DirectX11 and 9 modes. What's this talk about DirectX10?
If you have a DX10 card you run it selecting DX11.
People flooding to the dedicated servers is just a phase and will probably die down by the end of the week.
I'm already getting tired of being forced to play 18 player games on maps that are barely suitable for 6.
Can't wait to play the game in DX11 Mode in siix or so months time. when i get a new card. Seems like the game is running alot smoother.
Also i kinda noticed it running smoother on the normal DX9 mode. Dunno if anyone else noticed that.
Anyone know why I haven't been able to play two or three of the maps? I know two are survivour only but the only maps I've ever played at are jungle, ruins, temple, refinery, pyramid and gateway.. Im missing docks and outpost.

Docks and outpost are part of the exclusive content from the Hunter and Survivor editions.

T4p, the new drivers did wonders on my rig as well.
Doesn't do jack for the 64bit mem leak.
Quote- No stuttering anymore when i start and play the game under directX11
Because you're not playing it under DX11. The new drivers improve existing performance, that's it; they also incorporated EVGA's SLI fix. Hanging and memory management/leak issues are still out in full force, and VH still causes hitching on portal transitioning no matter how much VM you have on nVidia cards.
Relating to the new patch. it DID not stop the frequent hangs in DX11 Mode..i still get them.
I've been experiencing a strange bug in-game. Whenever I respawn, their is a small chance that I will instantly die upon spawning in and when I look at the obituary, it shows only what looks to be a splatter next to my name, and the game deducts one point from my score, as if I committed a teamkill or suicide. An explanation for this would be appreciated.
Not really a bug, but more of an issue that I hope someone can help me out with:
I am trying to host a dedicated server from behind a router. I am using the default ports for the server and have not specified the -IP parameter when running the server. On my router, I have forwarded the ports the server is using to my computer that runs the server software. I do have Windows Firewall on it, but the server application is registered in the trusted zone, so that shouldn't be a problem.
Has anyone successfully hosted from behind a router? Any feedback would be warmly welcome :)
Still getting disconnected.. even in ranked now.
ffs the game was working untill this new patch came out..
And console users, do you ever feel that multiplayer patch will come?
Well, to be honest, after patch memory leak is bigger and with high textures game works significantly slower, than before patch, while skyportal is in Your field of view, so as far as i'm cioncerned rebellion actually made things worse than they were before patch release (unless of course You play with "normal" textures, there's fps rise in that mode)
However dedis, even as a beta, are superb, so i'm very pleased :)
The new Nvidia drivers definitely fixed the stuttering for me. But there's still a serious memory leak problem that should be fixed in upcoming patches. The single player suffers from weird FPS drops.

Doesn't sound like a memory leak to me, how can a leak be worse with higher texture settings but fine with the lower ones? That makes no sense at all. Sounds more like your running out of RAM and its having to page from the HDD. Almost all of the FPS/stuttering issues I hear of are people playing the game on higher texture settings than their PC can handle. Are you running more programs in the background than you were before?

Yeah, i close up unused processess everytime when i boot up my rig, 'cause i know what i'll be doing. there isn't anything significant running in the background except standard Windows ones + my firewall, eating bout 25-30 mb of memory (plus steam of course, about 70 mb). My sytem is Geforce 1GB card, 4 RAM of memory (3.5 in use since it's XP), i5-750@3,6 GHZ and WinXP.
While You pointed out to me in other thread, that dedi is pretty resourceful hungry, i checked that out and it' eating about 30-50 mb of memory with 8 players. Unfortunately there is no possibility to run game twice, so i turned on Doom3 with some VERY resource eating rendering project i'm working on and AVP in normal textures, so i can make sure all the memory of system and video card is stuffed up almost to the max.. No stuttering in AVP. At all. Two engines in normal priority, hagning cpu, memory and VRAM usage almost to max, and nothing, nothing at all in terms of stuttering.
But here's example why i think it's bug inside in the engine: all multiplayer maps works silk smooth on high. Even with 10 players and everyone using different skin. I can safely on the Jungle stay at closed doors near the circle and watch 10 people with different skins battling it out from close plus see the whole map. It's about 100-150 textures at very high resolution rendered at once on screen (far away area of map downscaled obviously by LOD). No hangs, no stuttering. Everything is silk smooth. Same goes for temple, refinery, ruins.
Now i load up the only map with skyportal usage (big refinery bulding in the background), gateway, alone. Map runs smooth untill i turn over and see refinery bulding. Then i have single freeze and as soon as skyportal loads up, everything is smooth again. I turn over, then again look behind to see refinery, another freeze. Note, that as long as i am in the gateway jungle area looking anywhere apart from refinery building, there's no freeze ups at all too. Now quick test, i stand in the area with closed gate, looking at the wall and refinery. Total amount of textures rendered on screen is about 10-15 on the wall, 2-3 for sky and moving clouds and i guess 10-15 for refinery bulding. Stutter during quick turns between refinery bulding in field of view and not in field of view still occurs. Even when with turning i'm not looking through open gate to the jungle, but on camp buildings. Total number of textures in work is about 60-70, as opposed to mentioned earlier 150+ in the jungle.
Conclusion: it runs smooth with shitload of hi textures. if there's skyportal in the field of view, game hungs up for second, even when total amount of big size textures rendered on screen is cut in half. Definetly not issue of VRAM, CPU and RAM were excluded earlier by running two resources hungry engines at once.
And it's three times as bad with SLI running. If you're getting a large amount of 2048 DMs AND NMs I could see the need for lots of VRam, Rebellion is right to say so. But there is also a memory leak, even with the minimum numbers of processes running it still crawls up there. and it crawls much faster with the paging file disabled. Very High still stutters for nVidia no matter how video memory you have. Using MARS gives me 4gigs single and 8gigs total, using dual 5970s produces no hitching at all (or none that I can see) with or without CF, despite having less vm to work with. It seems to be a much greater issue with 64bit allocation and nVidia cards.
Hey guys. Ok, first off, its like this. I can play the first two Pred missions, on easy, no problem. I haven't bothered with much of the marine missions, and i cannot play, at all, my favorites, the Aliens.
If you play too far into the Pred missions, which is the third mission, as with the part in the beginning of the alien storyline, the characters load in, much like in the matrix, yet, there is no room, no detectable floor. We simply load, fall, and die. Every time.
At first, we pegged it for the graphics card, as it was also very laggy. So, with much deliberation, i stole one of my roommates GC's to test it out. Sure enough, it solved the lag in playing, and i got a bit farther, but in the end, the floor just stopped loading in, and we fall.
Help, anyone?
Is it fully updated via steam, and what are your specs.
I get looping audio playing the bink cutscenes. Other audio in the game is fine. The cutscenes play fine with Rad Tools player outside the game but they loop in the game. I thought this was going to be fixed in the patch since it said:
"Implemented a workaround for missing audio issues with certain hardware (SoundBlaster X-Fi, Realtek onboard, etc.) " I have onboard Realtek AC 97
But now with the new patch I can see that the "binkw32.dll" file is updated to 1.9.18.0 (before it was 1.9.17.0) and the problem is still there. I tried doing the stuff here: http://filenetworks.blogspot.com/2010/02/fix-aliens-vs-predator-3-avp-3-2010.html
I updated my sound drivers and stuff. Nothing helped. :-[ This is only in AvP and in the AvP demo. Other games with bink cutscenes play fine (AvP Classic 2000 for example).
I renamed my bink video files, all they do is add what, 20 seconds where you can't do anything? They're useless.
its really annoying not being able to hear people that are in your own party. It makes my ps3 freeze alot which cannot be good for it. Obviously the matchmaking but the ps3 freezing is the most important for me

Nobody else has experienced/seen this happening? I will try to get a screenshot of the obituary when it next occurs...
that stupid clock bug on fat ps3s wiped all my trophies and my rank was reset to zero when it was 32, iv now got my trophies back, but had to do the required tasks all over again, i heard somewhere that you can use your SP xp to regain it but how exactly, btw all of my xp and personal stats from before are still there, my rank now is only 9 though, so again how do i use SP xp to regain it.
I got this really weird bug....
After a certain amount of times i die , and then when i respawn , my keys get randomized.
like q becomes w and z becomes , and stuff like that. So like i wont be able to move forward or sideways and i'l just be able to move backwards using S . But i found that using the 'Verify Integrity of Game cache' button always fixes it. But it happns again after i die a certain number of times.
This has happned in singleplayer and multiplayer and it's really really annoying.
Can anyone help me ????????
I don't know why but whenever I play on multiplayer, including Survivor, the camera for my character is outside of the map. I can't move the camera but my character can move.
Anybody ever lost connection to steam while doing good in a game? I was far in first place, should've gotten tons of XP, but then I lose connection to Steam and therefore the game...so no XP for me. This isn't the first time this has happened to me. It's pretty irritating. I don't think they should wait till after the game to give you the XP, but rather as you play and get kills. Either that or don't have AvP be completely reliant on Steam. just my two cents.

I don't think it DOES wait until the end of the game... I've ranked up even though I was disconnected before.
And it's a little late to not be reliant on steam now.
We all have to live with it.
steam is the biggest pile of god knows what - its the bane to any games company that signs up to it - the only thing it offers is pop-up adverts and updates you didnt ask for thus making it like malware. i mean, if i want to play online or offline, why do i need to be connected to steams stupid lil advert services? So i can talk to the people in my friends list.
At the end of the day, screw that, i want to play my god damn game, so i should be able to without my friends list. without stupid offers from steam
its a sales tool, it does not enhance the gaming experiance - infact its the opposite, it stops you playing your games that you buy off them
it goes down at least once a day - and they call it "routine maintenance", its not, its just rubbish and keeps falling over
ther VAC doesnt even work
steam/valve re-invented the word ass mucher - they've sucked one or two big ones in the past but this takes the biscuit
just because they made half life doesnt give them the right to pull off a stunt like this
i dont know why the f*** developers are sending their games to the coffin by signing up to them, they must be gettting paid by steam to join up - its all about money isnt it?
the only reason why we have the stupid player ranking match making system is so the game needs steam for something, the steam sync'd leaderboards - so they throw in the skins. - other than that the game does not need steam at all
Hi everyone,
I have a problem playing Multiplayer.
The game does not find any Multiplayer Matches... :(
No Ranked, Player or Dedicated Server matches.
I always get the information that there were no results found :((
It seems to have worked a few weeks ago before I reinstalled the game :(
What should I do to solve the problem...?
I LOVE STEAM!!!
It's because of steam that i got games like avp and l4d 2 cause it takes ages for it to be in stores in places such as the place wher i live in -_-
and if u dont want steam to auto-update ur stuff , just right click it and select auto-update off.....
srsly, it's not that hard
:)
I had played singleplayer, and had gotten most of the Audiologs, Queen-jar-thingies and Predator junk...
Then... blam... Steam can't connect to steam-cloud - Have you started the game on some other computer...blabla...
I pressed ok... then started the game again... and voilá... all my controls was reset...and all junk I had collected
was gone... yea, great...
Steam cloud was down for a while yesterday and the same window popped up to me, you should have waited till it came back.

STEAM = KILLER OF GAMES lol... serious like that guy said... he was in a good game and just because a 3rd party application has a time out or an error it takes the game with it...
why cant sega/rebellion just make this game with out steam ? make it like AVP2 search servers and so on.... STEAM is not doing it any favors lol... try telling that to the people who had massive problems with half-life 2 when that came out... lol
It's not steam. I play dozens of other steam games and I've never had ANY and I mean ANY of the problems with those that I have with AvP. AvPs code is shit. Period.

I cant believe it, but i just installed the new NVIDIA Drivers 196.75 and i still cant believe it...
- No stuttering anymore when i start and play the game under directX11 ;D
- Overall performance seems to be improved and everything is a lot smoother ;)
I didnt try out the DirectX9 mode, but im just happy that the stuttering is gone now.
shame that the 196.75 drivers have the potential to kill your videocard because somehow the fan control part of the driver got fubar'd and can shut down the fan.
Steam is not hardware requirement, steam is punishment I have to take because somebody else may steal the game. I dont f* care, get him if you can, if you can't cry at home and don't make me trouble because I paid for the game! I love AVP and would never rob rebellion, but it was the last game I ever bought from SEGA and the last one with internet based DRM. Hackers can crack 90% of such protected games within 24 hours after launch anyway, it just doesn't work and only pis off legitimate customers. I've read some analysis saying that for each 1000 stopped illegal downloads 1 legitimate copy is bought. Let steam be an online shop and nothing more, it would be ok then, now it's just irritating s*.
Mostly on overclocked models, which if you expect to be using your card for any length of time, you shouldn't be doing anyway... Of course people who OC their cards are the same clueless tards that turn Vsync off and wonder why their cards stop working so good after a while despite rendering hundreds of uneeded frames over and over.
That said, this is the third time nVidia has hosed fan control in the last three months, they're on a definite roll.
Having a dedicated server problem. When i try launching my dedicated server now it freezes and says my avp_cli.exe stopped working.
Anyone who can please help me it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,

All these issues are PS3 related. I cannot comment on other systems.
The matchmaking is almost unusable.
There is no way to mute anyone and it is open mic!
After the game you don't go to the lobby, you go all the way out to your party. Not a big deal if it didn't take 5 minutes to get into another game.
No host migration, so when the host loses connection or rage quits, back to your party to start the search all over again.
The Predator is ridiculously overpowered. Today I tried to play a few deathmatch games. Easily 75% of the players were Predators in every game. This game is turning into a giant Predator war.
I keep hoping they will fix this, but I have yet to see them even acknowledge anything needs fixed.
I hate to get rid of it already, but I don't want to end up with another SOCOM game, where it takes them a year to fix and by then it is worth $5...
AVP makes Baby Jesus cry. :cry: I have been waiting for this game a very long time.
for real I havnt played since release because there is NO online for PS3. I had more fun on the demo because there was at least 8 players in a match.
its been almost a month if it doesnt get fixed soon I will be selling the game sadly disappointed.

It must be the time of day or the match type you chose because iv got it for PS3 and it only ever takes 2 mins to get in a match, which is usually 12/18 players. I've never had a problem finding a 12/18 player match. The blu-tooth devices do need a mute function, preferably one that lets you choose who to mute so you can only hear your friends, also they need to fix the host has left the game problem, because that is annoying.

Predator war with 'almost' every players throwing discs and using plasma casters for up-close combat. What ? They never heard of melee before ?
Serious problem with losing xp when suddenly connection is lost to host OR people just quitting the match and cannot continue playing without the appropriate number of players. On the same note, would someone explain how do ranked matches get played as far as what type of server ? Are they Rebellion's ? Someone I talked with said the game, for lack of a better word, assigns the match to random players for hosting ? Is this true ? We also need a few more options as far as host controls for friendly matches.
Matchmaking still an issue in amount of time it takes to get one going although I did notice something, (maybe it's just me.) in that instead of waiting for X amount of players to join, it will stop after so long and automatically put you into another matchmaking process. Anyone else seeing this over the weekend ?
Give CROUCH option already !
I think that covers enough of what I have to post. This is still a good game and when some of these issues are fixed, it will be even better.

And console users, do you ever feel that multiplayer patch will come?
I am more than a little pissed than it seems as if we are being left 'in the dust' for any multiplayers patches for console, specifically PS3. I mean, WTF ! I will admit that PC players desperately needed patches but don't forget about us, ok Rebellion ?
I've been watching some survivor videos and I thin kthis mode could benefit more from a respawn of players after certain waves or something. Some player told me he spent like 20 minutes or something waiting for the player to die. Also I hear the pred disc needs like a charge or something..it seems unbalanced..at least thats what people told me.
Not sure if this has been mentioned, or if this is a problem with the other platforms, but on PS3 once in awhile you can't join a friends game, it ends up giving a 'connection timed out message' It seems related to the mic problem. But the only way to fix this problem is doing a connection test then rejoining the game
When i turn around as alien that fast, that i can see my tail and then do stop, i move or wiggle a short time after that. Very strange. I've could sworn this wasn't the first time i played.
The fact is, it bothers me so that I'm fed up with this game. That was the last drop... >:(

No. I'm fine with the tail. It's a lag or wiggle of the camera after i stopped moving.
It's a pity i can't put this on youtube to show it. I haven't seen this issue on another videos so far. 'Reinstalling' doesn't help. :-\

I think it's the alien moving his body, so the camera moves slightly to the left/right with the aliens movement.
Try and look down so you can see your legs. When the camera wiggles you should see the legs moving.
It's not an "issue/bug" it's just the alien changing position.
Okay. Then i think i can live with that although i don't like this gimmick very much. :)
The other night, playing Species Deathmatch on a dedicated server, I tried switching to a team that had available slots to help even out the teams, but the game wasn't registering my attempts. After a couple games, after another dozen clicks it switched to another team, but retained my previous species (predator) graphic. In game I was a marine though. After that game ended, I tried switching to alien, but the same issue occurred.
Basically the bug is not being able to switch to teams on a dedicated STDM server despite available slots. I don't know if this was just a one time thing for me, though, since it only occurred on the last server I played.
Not a big issues and maybe it was done on purpose, but I hate how when going back to play a singleplayer mission, that I previously beat on a harder diffficulty, on easy difficulty it lowers my singleplayer score and rank. No matter what difficulty I beat it on the score should remain on the highest difficulty I completed the mission at.
Im having bad issues with fps....i just built a new pc before the game came out and it ran the demo at like 120 FPS and cod4 at 200. its a 260 overclocked....there is absolutely no reason it should run so horribly. i only get 30 fps outside and 50 inside.
any thoughts?
i noticed the game lagging at points but i kept a steady framrate.

I got the same problem.
Not every game, but every once in a while i can't change teams even if there are free slots available.
You can see this small circle move like it is changing teams but it isn't doing anything.

Sometimes i have the problem that my race is changing rapidly.
It changes from alien to marine to alien to pred to marine and so on and on and on.
I don't do anything, it does that automatically.
Anybody else got that problem?
hi all.
i need a hand here. i got this game just yesterday and while i played aliens camp just before the end chapter (likewise with marine) the whole pc just crashed couldn't do anything but restart the pc :(
any1 got any idea why this happens?
btw im done with all 3 camp but really want to play multi without the pc crash...
Hey, would it be a bug or issue if you get into a species death match and its 5 Predators Vs 2 marines and an Alien? ::)

i have the latest version but same happens. i have no clue what to do to fix it :( ah well guess i have to close that game and play CoD MW2 instead {-_-}
Just got the game today. I'm having the same problems as a lot of other people are having. Lagging as hell is all I can say. The actual movie cut scenes play great and the graphics are PHENOMENAL!!!!!! But I can't play the game.
So what to do?
UPDATE:
I lowered the resolution and still get a very BAD LAGGGG!!!! I'm running on Windows 7 with 4 RM. It should work fine since this is a new computer I bought over the weekend.

Hey DB,
Watched your video and couldn't agree more...I have some really great fun in this game but the lag and bugs more often than not tend to kill the fun off. And what is with still having beta dedicated servers 3 weeks after the game is released...really slack!
Fingers crossed Rebellion get their act together and fix this game!

Thanks, Don't get me wrong, I love the game but wish they did a better job. It's kinda like watching your favorite sports team playing and losing. You still like them but you curse them up and down when they screw up.
I'm just having problems playing the regular game itself. The campaigns are what I'm talking about.
And it's such a bummer because the graphics look amazing. ::)
I guess I'll just take it back and get some other game. Bummer.
this is a great game on single player and I love it... but
the MP on the 360 sucks and it seems that those with the PC version have the same problem...
I really hope that those @ rebellion take note of what we are saying and get this part of the game sorted, as I will not ever buy any future products from them....
come on devs get this sorted....

I always thought the delayed decapitation of the Alien was done on purpose. Kind of like the effect from the first AvP when the pred cut the Aliens head with the throwing star. I actually dig it. The rest of the dome coming off however looks buggy.
The video also makes me wish I was able to get it for PC, because it certainly looks pretty.
For some reason I cannot stay connected to dedicated servers. I'm in for about twenty seconds and then my connection times out. I can stay connected to ranked matches and all other p2p matches, but not dedicated servers.
The game was working fine about a week ago.
Anyone know how to fix this issue? I'm starting to get really pissed :\
edit: I did the "verify game cache" thing and one file had to be redownloaded. Maybe that'll fix it, but I doubt it :(
I get the same thing mate but mine can be anywhere between 10 seconds and 10 minutes, sometimes it won't happen in the first match but will happen in the next one on the same server. Also when it happens usually half the other people on the server get the same problem at the exact same time.
Cheers!

found a major bug regarding pings in dedicated servers:
I've noticed if I join a server all by myself that says it is like a 30 ping sever, i go in; and it is around 30. When people start to join the ping goes up for me and everyone else. To when 12+ people get in everyone is at a ping of like 150!
I don't know why, but I thought i'd share it. Hopefully a patch will fix the dedicated servers.

Hello everyone.I have installed Steam and AvP but when Im trying to play it it says "This game is currently unavailable.Please try again at another time".I do not know what else to try...I have uninstalled it and re-install it 3 tmes and still cannot play.Maybe some1 here has any suggestions?
Does it your computer meet its requirements ? I don't know much about pc gaming that would be the only thing I could think of
Maybe it's a faulty download, or a file has been corrupted/gone missing along the way. Make sure your PC also meets the requirements to run the game, as its very powerful, and alot of computers can't handle it.
go to steam, right click avp, select properties, then local files, and confirm game-cache integrity
that should do it ;)
I bought my avp through stream.
And I have a decent computer to play it on, but is it normal for the game to stutter a bit before starting a level on single player?
Make sure you have the latest drivers for your GPU.

How much RAM do you have and what texture detail are you running it at? If you only have 2 gigs or so, stick to medium textures other wise it will keep trying to page from the hard disc, espesially at the start.
Well i haven't touched the game ever since the last patch. Damn connection issues! And been spending most of my time on Battlefield Bad company 2. And the annoying & funny thing is. That game is also a PC/PS3/360 game But on the PC version theres the normal server browser and im not kidding everysingle game is filled up, And there must be about 1000 servers in total.
Now if AVP3 Sold just under a million. Where the hell are all the people?
Every time I play Gateway in Mp on PS3, it freezes when I try to attack someone and after sprinting a few times. Anyone know how to fix this?
Reinstalled the game. And not only when playing online do i get disconnected still after 10 seconds. (DAMN THAT LAST PATCH)
But now im getting a odd graphics glitch with the Acid blood. For some reason it shows through everything including creates or anything that is at front of it. Including myself.

I'm having probs om my ps3,
First with the sp campaigns.
For alien jungle mission wont load, you'll see the alien walk of the tree and then my game freezes completely.
And for predator, the second mission after the training mission has the same thing, when the pred ship wants to land, my ps3 completely freezes.
Haven't tried on marine yet.
And in multiplayer.
Sometimes (almost never but still ennoying) when im playing for couple of hours. My ps3 just collapses it shuts down completely. Not even on stand by mode, just completely off. I don't get it, never happened before this is the first game it has ever happened to.
Do you have the day 1 patch installed?
Well yea i do...
I'm from Europe so the first time i put in the disc it started with a patch.
i have it for ps3 but the only time it froze was when i was in melee with an alien as a pred and switched vision modes, but since i stood my ps3 up right rather than have it down, it plays perfect, also never had problems online except the host leaving but i think even if host doesnt like the mode they're in they should still finnish the match, after all you waited to get into the match in the first place.
Il try that, and else im going to buy a new ps3 slim.
Since i still got the first ps3 ever the 40 gb "phat" version sooo, i think it's time for a new 1
Fark, this game is so buggy [on PS3]. I've worked all the way through the Predator campaign on Nightmare, and now it won't load the final level. For NO REASON! Everything else in the game loads up fine, even the Marine Pyramid level which should contain mostly the same files. But not this final level. For whatever stupid reason, it just sits on that loading screen. No disc sounds eminating from the PS3 or anything. I left it for half an hour just to see, and still nothing.
Could somebody from Rebellion get off their ass AND FIX THIS GAME I SPENT $90 ON, PLEASE! >:(
Yeah one of the marine levels keep locking up on me. Damn :(
When I switch predator visions, all the sound goes of for 1 sec (Ambient, FX, etc.) and then they come back.
It's annoying to play without sound everytime you switch vision.
Lobby needs a kick feature and a proper species limitations not ratios.. AvP1 on PC had limitations done right..
Also.. this weird white box appears on the praetorian face smash trophy kill as a predator.. it clearly looks like a glitch and only appears on the praetorian.

I recommend a Razer DeathAdder.
And the price on that one is...
Complaints about the game:
-unable to crouch ... and dont tell me that its unecessary for this game
-idiotic AI in singleplayer
-Predators heavy attack is WAY faster than an Aliens heavy attack... which doesnt make any sense at all
-unable to boot unwanted players from a game that I've created
-overpowerd Predator throwing disc... atleast give it a "cool down" period. This weapon only provokes unsportsman-like play, the antithesis of what a Predator is all about.
Regardless of these issues, I really enjoy the game and I play it every night.
Quote from: Slugworth on Mar 18, 2010, 01:33:23 AM-Predators heavy attack is WAY faster than an Aliens heavy attack... which doesnt make any sense at all
Quote from: [REB]Trigger on Feb 19, 2010, 03:32:55 PMThe heavy attack for both alien and predator are the same in terms of timings. The "damage flag" on the animation occurs at the same frame. Visually it may look different, but we can assure you that it isn't. The heavy attack however is modified based on distance. The closer you are when you initiate it, the faster it will complete.
And one more time...do something about spawn killing and shooting right after you spawn. The multiplayer is turning into a cheapfest, more than 8-9 players in the server and it's only spawn kills. We had a policy in AvP2 to never SK/BK and it was a rule that I still respect and it's very annoying when it happens and constantly. It's as bad as the balance issues.
agreed, spawn-killing sucks and is in no way fun.
Enemy Territory had a nice system where it wave spawned and the re-spawning characters were invulnerable for a few seconds, so not only could you not die, but it was pretty much guaranteed that you`d spawn with some help, which discouraged people from even attampting the SK.
^ does this mean its coming in a fix?
How can I get the game to recognize my head set so I can use the in game voice system.

Well im not. It's only been happeing this last two weeks, Think it may be a driver issue. But ive used driver sweeper and uninstalled all my cards drviers and reinstalled the latest drivers but it still happens.
Its pissing me off. I think The drivers Nvidia took down because of issues has f**ked my card up. So untill they release new drivers im screwed. Because the current ones aint working right.
196.75 is what I have and it works.
- 180° stelth kills "Run past circle hit "E" is flawed here are some ideas
1. Sks work like pick up a weapon you need to hold the button 1 sec to do a sk
2. Stelth kills only work out of combat if you get hit by a bullet or melee you cant pull off a SK anymore
3. Option to allow disable it
4. decrese the range of Sks
5. The Kill should first count half way or after the full animation of the SK and not in the moment you hit "E"
- Alien Wall tail its annoying and often abused there should be no attacks you cant do anything about. But melee should be the strongest of all Species
- Alien pounce why does it not Knock down like the pred pounce ?
- Auto transition on/off if you turn it off you still end up on some walls but get stuck on little edges this should be fixed.
- Marine issues
+ a flamethrower buff would be good
things that are mentioned many times but wont be probably addet
(Crouch and make the marine jump a bit more usefull not ut like but that it is a jump)

They have been removed on Nvidia's website due to issues it was causing. And because of that theres only 196.21 on there website. Is it a driver issue though what im having or what?
Could be, some other people had this problem before, I think the driver fixed it for some.
The vision mode bug is usually caused by setting forced anti-aliasing in the driver settings.
Is it just me and my ps3??
Why does it still take FOREVERR to find a match, and the most people I've ever had in one is 7.
Seriously I had more fun playing the demo.
There is no Host Migration feature: wtf!
You lose your lobby after every match: wtff!
I have yet to even play a 16 player match: wtfgds! (what the f**king god damn shit)
I love the franchise, loved AvP2, and loved their campaigns. I havnt even finished one campaign because: it is obvious they are very short. I play one afternoon and I'm halfway through the entire thing? (for one species) wow.
And when I die in campaign and want to go play mutliplayer, I f**king cant! I shouldn'tve used my preorder skins code so someone else could have it.
Will this be fixed soon? If not, I'm taking advantage of gamestops $40 trade in offer and getting GoW 3.

Holy shit ur right. I never had this though untill a few weeks ago when i downgraded drivers. Ive always had AA enabled through the CP.
Thanks! least i know whats causing it now
Patch is on its way.....ETA.......not sure.
Yes I saw that but in the notes it specifically said that 360 users will get a speed boost to match making times, what about PS3 users?
and most importantly, will the matchmaking lobbies be fixed (as in we don't lose them after every match)
I noticed that '360 but not PS3 thing' too...
Someone told me it was a typo - is that true? Maybe. Who knows...
I hope so. I would love to see the actual post where it is an admitted typo, if it exists.
If not... heck yes I am trading it in!
patch is coming but looks like they are waiting to see if everyone likes the changes to the pc version before releasing a console patch also they dont want to have to do multiple patches for consoles, so will wait till they can fix everything at once. People should stop worrying about if they will patch them as rebellion have already stated on multiple occasions that the support will be there for this game and patches are on their way. I wont be trading it in ever cos i have all alien, predator games they have ever made for consoles. Also already pre-ordered GOW 3 ultimate trilogy edition, should be here monday.
Still getting disonnects after 20 seconds of joining a game. So it's still unplayable.
Hi All,
Got a really annoying problem where the audio intermittently stutters in any cutscene in the single player campaigns.
I've searched through the forum and the only thing that turns up is the below post with a link from the gameplay bugs thread, I've tried the suggested fix in the link but have had no change what so ever.
http://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/index.php?topic=29314.msg650821#msg650821
Does anyone know how to fix this?...running Windows XP, Nvidia Geforce 7900GTO, Creative Audigy LS. with the DX9 version of AVP.
Cheers!

do you guys knows the details of the patch ?

Well this game is going to be remained uninstalled because of all the connection issues ive been having since patch 1.2 And all the techincal issues.
It's just nofair. Ive paid money for a game i can't play. And unless i get a DX11 card i can't play this game right. So screw it.
Battlefield Bad company 2 on pc, has 1000s of servers with 90% of them fulll all the time. The game has no stupid bugs or issues preventing me from enjoying it. So im gonna keep playing that untill AVP gets sorted.
1.2 has ruined my game. Been having nothing but issues with the damn game since that patch. And basing a game around DX11 hardware when almost noone has a card like that yet. Is dumb. And no one is hardly playing the game. For a game that has sold just under a millillion? where is everyone? theres less than 60 people online on dedicated. And ive given up on Ranked
Theres too many bugs & glitches and Balance issues.
Rant off.
Graphical bug playing on the PC with windows 7 64 bit.
Whenever pressing Tab to go to steamfeatures and pressing Tab again to go to AVP, the screen is flickering white.
This only happens when pressing Tab, or when pressing a players name.
I got the latest drivers.
And it doesnt matter when playing under directx 11 or 9, still there.
If you press the 'back' button (Xbox 360) the exact second after your killed, it doesn't show you what/who killed you in the bottom corner. Pretty annoying.
i love the game and will keep it forever but please hurry up with the ps3 patch
I'm getting a whole host of new bugs now after the recent patch:
- the game sometimes starts a match with only 1 person, sometimes the last person leaves and it doesn't return to the lobby but just leaves you to walk alone around the map (this is not necessarily a bad thing, gives you a chance to check out things you never get a chance to while fighting for your life but I'd say it's an infrequent bug...could be added as an actual feature since we can join in progress games now).
- seem to be ghost players, 80% of populated servers are in fact empty when you join and get into the lobby...there's not even a join game option to see if they are in the game and its just a buggy lobby.
- seeing weird players/max player stats in the server list...some servers will show 21/18 players, seen some 30/18 games.
- still getting the occasional connection issue where half the players are booted.
- weird stuff happening in some games...one game I died and went to the observer cam and never spawned again, permanently stuck in the observer cam. Other games sometimes I have shot a pred with PC but it kills me instead as if Im shooting myself (this is not point blank, its like a stationary double of myself that when I kill it, it kills me instead). Also on temple (I think, the one that changes like in the 1st AVP movie) I tried to walk down a ramp and I just walked over air instead. Some games I would never see my name come up in the kill notifications.
- weird pings at times, a game I was playing had myself and most people under pings of 100 when all of a sudden everyone's in the game spiked massively to like 1500 and all over the shop, always exactly the same for each person (like if mine jumped to 670, so did everyone elses).
There are other little odd things as well but those were the main ones I see recurring.
Cheers!

The first one doesn't sound like a bug, when you are left alone in the server there is always a chance for someone to join and you can leave the server any time you want.

My point was that this happens infrequently, not consistently and is what leads me to believe it is a bug...it is not by design.

That's Pyramid.
Temple is the one with the big temple in the middle. ;)
Thanks Kane, makes sense...except you could mistake a temple for a pyramid :P
Cheers for clarifying that anyway...it was as if the stairs had raised back up to block off the lower passage but they still looked down and you walked in air over them....lol.

I rank up VERY fast in AvP multiplayer, even when I'm not online. Some tell me its because I still have my online on when I play single player, can anyone confirm that?
There's a glitch were doing Campaign right after a Multilayer match can gain you XP.You must be a console player, right?
sounds like your experiencing the 'rank glitch'
my mate had this - seems if you get put out of a game then play single player the kills add towards your online experience.
dumb glitch that n00bs get excited over - I got to level 43 the proper way, much more rewarding.
My friend actually leveled up about 20 levels via unknowingly doing that glitch.
I dont mind the glitch, I only rank up for skins. Im going to stop playing Ranked matches anyway after I get the skins, they take much too long to enter. I personally don't like the glitch, it gets on my nerves. I only got one skin out of it, I got the others out of ranking up the proper way. That one skin was the Praetorian. I use it now, mainly because its strangely easy to blend in with it.
Thing is on the PC, the SP glitch is about the only way to get the new skins now as hardly anyone plays ranked :-\

same with PS3. I usually have to wait about 5-10 minutes before someone joins.
Well then, they better allow ranked dedicated servers, ranked avp died. The people that started playing later can't get the crappy skins now.

How do u do the glitch?
Are those Dedi servers working yet/anymore ? ???
After the last patch it seems there are never any servers with game in progress...
they are all in lobby status... and the player numbers doesn't seem to reflect the
actual numbers of players in the lobby or even what should be possible as there
seems to be servers with 45/12 or something like that...
After the patch when you try to join trough a Steam friend it always says that your connection has timed out, anyone else experienced this? Invitations still work though.

Join a Ranked Match, finish it, then go into Singleplayer, you get XP for killing like you were in a Ranked Match.
Not possible anymore, though. I think they fixed it with the patch. I tried it yesterday but it didn't work.
Yeah what Kane said, but the patch has fixed it...you would have to uninstall the game, reinstall with updates turned off and then try and find a ranked match with some that has the same un-patched version ::)
Just wait till people make enough noise for rebellion to incorporate ranked match support into the dedicated server code ;)

You cant start up steam without it patching itself :P
It won't update the game if you have the automatic game updates off. Though if you reinstall the game from Steam it will install the latest version of the game.

Okay so is it possible to install game without steam?
Anyway as soon as I start game it demands internet connection with steam and updates anyway. So that is confirmed by me. CANT start game with steam unless updating.
I repeat, it is NOT possible to start the AVP game unless you update it first, if pausing update and try to start it, another bar shows up and automaticaly updates the game.
Haven't tried it, could be. I'd suggest getting the XP the fair way, and I believe soon we'll be seeing ranked dedicated servers/matches. The current state of ranked gaming is very bad and there is no point in having XP achievements and stuff if you can't get a ranked game going. Surely the Lions can see thins.

Exactly. Better to earn XP the slow way :)
More honest gameplay!
Hey Greenpakto,
I believe the updating you are talking about is just Steam itself updating. If you found an earlier version to install or had backed the game files up before updating then you could install/restore that with your internet disconnected, go into the properties for the game through the Steam game tab and in one of the tabs there is an option to turn off automatic updates for just that game.
Whenever the game downloads and applies a new update it says it in the game tab next to that specific game, if steam requires a restart because of it then it will also pop up a restart request window when the update has finished.
But yeah, don't bother with all that mucking around...just wait for Rebellion to add support for ranked matches to the dedicated servers.
Cheers!

Yes it does work to turn of updating, but as soon as you want to start the game, it pops up a new bar that AUTOMATICALY updates the game...
At least thats what happened for me. But if I am correct the XP glitch cant be used anyway, because the unpathced game will reset your stats. ^^
how com when i press square to initiate a sk as an alien, i make the motion to grab them then just cos they move forward a foot it cancels it, its getting really frustrating.

That's more how it should work...you just need to keep close behind them and you should have no problems...most people complain about turning moving away or turning around and see the alien but get pulled back magically and SKd anyway as it's lag allowing them to turn around or walk off when the SK has in fact already been activated. So your issue could be lag related, I haven't heard of a case like yours though where the SK animation starts but the victim gets away.

The difference between your and your enemy's ping makes you see him further away or closer than he actually is, messes up the SK prompts, range and pretty much all the attacks.
Hey i'm new here and i wanted to ask a quistion about avp because i bought the hunter collector edition, but i'm having trouble with the game, the game runs fine but still having lag or stuttering in the game. Is this already fixed or will rebelion updated this?
PC or console? If you're on PC check if you have the latest graphics drivers.

Happens to me quite often as the alien...even with marines...so I usually don't even try SK's unless I'm directly behind an enemy. Hell I've even had the aliens claws turn up like it was grabbing ahold of a predators shoulders to headbite him from behind....and he just sprints away. Kinda of funny IMO but still aggravating to say the least.
Pretty much knew it was a ping/connection issue however.
I hate the damn Predator noobs, i mean i play as Wolf, but i rarly use any weapon, only the spear at long range, the only weapon that takes a little skill, most of the time i just kill with my claws, i really hate the disc, ultimate noob weapon.
Pc, i do have the latest drivers and the newest directx,this is what i have
nvidia Geforce 8500 GT 512 mb
AMD Atlon dual core 3800+.
is there anything i should check?
That config is not able to max the game out, try lowering the details and lower the resolution. And the latest Nvidia driver version is 197.13 I believe.
I have a GTX 280 1GB video card and for some strange reason AVP 3 hates it. The game seems to play very unstable, which is weird because when I did a clean install of the 197.13 drivers the game played silky smooth for 2 days straight, with zero problems on DX10 all maxed out. But on the third day, it started to play slow and lag in random spots within the levels.
Now, I don't have any 2-3 second stuttering, that was fixed awhile ago. My nvidia card is at a tempature of 65c when playing for awhile. So thats rules out overheating issues. I defragged my hard-driver just incase, which 90% of the time very solves gameplay issue btw lol. Not sure if anyone else is getting this problem, but it's REALLY starting to get under my skin.
AVP is the black sheep on my rig. Stalker COP DX10, Crysis, Crysis Warhead, Resident Evil 5 DX10, Far Cry 2 DX10, Dead Space and Bad Company 2 all play perfect. AVP hates my computer for some reason.
Vista Ultimate 64bit
Intel Core 2 Extreme 6800 2.93Ghz
Nvidia GTX 280 1GB
4GB SLi ram
X-Fi gamer soundcard
850 watt powersupply
you will find most games you play usually play silky smooth until you complete the story mode then glitches start to appear, it has happened on every game i own, once the story is complete it starts effing up, and this game is no different, since i completed all 3 campaigns (a while ago) i find myself falling through the map and the thing freezes every so often when swapping vision modes in melee sp and mp.
The thing is I get ZERO issues with my other games. My rig should beable to max this game out, but it lags badly.
You can always try reducing the resolution and details.
Reducing resolution fixed some issues for some people, why I mentioned it.
Well there you have it, this game is officially broken or it just doesn't like my videocard. Either way, it's an awesome game but it's seriously bugged. I've deleted it from my PC, I'm not playing this game until serveral things happen.....
-- Nvidia REALLY needs to get with the program and release solid drivers that are stable, optimized, doesn't have any fan issues and works well with todays games. Everything from 196.21 and up are beyond terrible.
-- Rebellion REALLY needs to get with the program and fix their game up. This game has more bugs than any game I've seen in years. It's needs to be more optimized for Nvidia and Ati cards.
-- Rebellion also needs to fix these server issues that are still in beta. Seriously, what the f--k are they waiting for?
^ I'm going to wait to either I get a new videocard or these problems are addressed before I install this game again :'(
xb360 patch:
I actually had way faster matchmaking before the patch. now it takes half an hour to find a game. ???
The flamethrower does do damage now, but it still doesn't seem to light any enemies aflame :-[
EDIT
Looks like it's now harder to knock down a marine as an alien. The pounce doesn't do much, heavy attack still stuns them, the predator is the same as prepatch.
Looks like for some reason melee collision detection is worse in melee and when it comes to pouncing. Tried it out in a few diff games and it's gotten harder to land a hit on someone if they're back pedaling, walking or running opposite of your direction.

You were probably connected to a laggy player. I couldn't find anyone to play with after 10 minutes in ranked and so it put me together with this guy from Finland.. overseas and so it was hard to focus him as he backpedalled with lag. The other players were fine maybe that's it.
But really.. you guys wanted this patch and all you got that was really noticable was.. reduced disc damage.. now let's see your flock of avp fans return.. I doubt it'll make a dent...
Here's your patch you whiny kids. Although I didn't need one to play it.
No, before I posted it I made sure to test it in a few games. Oddly enough each game was in temple, and as all three species.
By the way,can anyone confirm that team/species balancing is up and running?
Lately AvP has been killing my PS3 with hard shutdowns, it freezes at least 3 times a day.
In an attempt to resolve the issue, I uninstalled and removed my save game info, and started fresh. Now when I try to quit the game normally (hold PS, go to quit game) my PS3 locks up and has to restart itself after two beeps. So, I wouldn't remove game/save data in the hopes of fixing freezing problems.
I've stopped playing until the PS3 patch is released. I hear the Xbox patch just went live.
I sent Rebellion an email:
"On average it freezes 3 times a day during normal play. Lock-ups are most prevalent when using the XMB, particularly online, but also occur frequently in the single-player campaign as well.
Fearing the hard shutdowns would eventually corrupt my hard drive and result in an inoperable PS3, I uninstalled AvP's game and save data, and started again fresh.
This only seemed to make things worse, as the game will now no longer quit without forcing my PS3 to restart itself (hold PS button, go to quit game - system hangs, 2 beeps are emitted and the system restarts).
I wanted to make sure you were aware of this, as it may be an issue that few have encountered as they have yet to attempt reinstalling or restarting AvP (I.e erasing game and save data and starting again).
Until the next patch is released I will not be playing aliens vs predator, as the risk of corrupting the hard drive appears too great. This is very disappointing, as I have been enjoying the game immensely (when it works).
Suffice to say, I am very hopeful that you are aware of the prevalent freezing issues, and also are now aware of the issues caused by uninstalling the game and save data and starting fresh.
I realize patching consoles can be tricky, and SEGA is not helping the process along. I can only remain optimistic that Rebellion is working towards solutions for these severe issues, and that the problems myself and many others are experiencing will be resolved with the release of the next patch slated for late April 2010.
A ranked game-matching fix would be most welcome, but not before the fundamental freezing and lock-up issues are addressed.
I look forward to being able to play AvP again in the future."
I'll post again if I receive a response.
Yellow Light of Death
Just got it a few days ago. Sucks the first time. :(
You can't knock down marines with an alien pounce unless it's the max range pounce. I assume you know that though
Just to follow up, these problems only occur with AvP, all of my other PS3 games work fine (also blu-rays and dvds work flawlessly, as do movies and music on my media server) So I don't think its the dreaded yellow light of death in the works.
Maybe a memory problem? I remember I had freezing problems when I first got the game, but I forgot how I fixed them.
yeah I know that and before the patch I had no issues knocking them down, now it's a pain in the ass.
Yeah I heard it was a memory leak or something like that, I'm sure they'll fix it in half a year or so.

this disc is way harder than previous games it doesn't even lock on and it can be dodged same goes for the plasma caster. Ihate it when people call others noobs just because they use the disc or plasma or mines. They are weapons in the game and should be used. And besides some people aren't as good at close combat as they are at ranged and visa versa
it's ok to mix it up and use the disc sometimes but constant disc noobs should be hung
how come alot of so-called amazing players put down noobs and say they shouldn't even play the game until they learn to play properly and without spamming disc, pc etc? If the people who are complaining were really as good as they claim, the disc spamming noobs shouldn't bother them, the "noobs" are easy pickings anyway cos they just camp somewhere high and you can pick em off with spear etc. I just dont think its anything to get hett-up about really. :D
Hung!
hang them all then through a disc at them
By no means am I a noob but I still use the disc pc and mines there is nothing better than running into 3 or 4 marines in a hall and killing them all in one go with the disc
Will only make sense if a marine can run into 4 preds and killing them all at once...not gonna' happen. But winning is fun.
You could do that if you had some grenades
Yah if the preds hug each other and you fire your sadar.
hope they bring the patch out for ps3 so the disc isn't instant kill unless it's a headshot
The Patch which did not improve any of what i wanted. Ranked still takes and eternity, my connecction with North and Middle and Europe still sucks ragin A$$, and the only thing that happened is i lost half my skins due to the campaing glitch XP reduction. and i cant earn it back due to the SLOW A$$ RANKED MATCHING GURRR >:( im honestly considering quiting this game. connections were better before the patch came out, i cant have a decent fight without half my moves being lagged or my counters not working when they should. This Blows REBELLION f**kED UP BIG TIME WITH THIS PATCH!!!
I'm sorry but the disc should be an insta kill, I find it quite difficult to kill some one if they are moving. The game is fine the way it is. Except the marine should have a rocket launcher that can lock on to a cloked predator from accross the map
I'm game for the rocket launcher:)
Connection issues have come back for me, the old message after 10 seconds in game "warning connectin issues" which is once again preventing me from playing online.
And you wonder why no one hardly players this game?
hi all

I have a slight problem that might be an easy fix...I always played on the dedicated servers but yesterday they were all gone...Ranked matches work fine so it cant be a firewall issue...Any help?
Steam has been having some issues with the master server lately. An update to fix that has been already released but your client probably hasn't been update correctly.
QuoteA Steam client update is now available. To apply the update, click the File menu inside of Steam and then select "Check for Steam Client Updates...". The specific changes include:
Steam Client
* Fixed an issue retrieving master server information
http://store.steampowered.com/news/3702/
You can try removing the file "clientregistry.blob" in the steam folder. Then restart Steam, it'll redownload the file and update.
E kill has serious bugs. First, its possible to E kill eachother at the same time with aliens (Double Kills). Second its often when I use E kill I grab the other player but somehow misses him, making the animation of grabbing, but the player anyway gets away. Hard to explain, its like grabbing NOTHING :P Also sometimes when making E kill the animation doesnt play (but still killing him), so rendering an instant, INSTEAD of 4-5 seconds waiting time...
Yes Sk needs fixing ASAP!

No matter whether you're playing in a laggy server or not, sometimes if you try to use the plasmacaster it fires off a "ghost" shot instead of an actual one. It doesn't take any energy yet it makes the sound like it's fired and the plasma fire only goes like 3 ft in front of you and disappears. It's annoying and didn't happen before the last patch.
Another annoyance that's popped up since the last patch is melee attacks not connecting even though the opponent isn't moving and you're face to face. it's retarded and leads to alot of cheap deaths.

I ran into these alot. Ah well.
Did someone noticed what if predator is "locked" on you its just impossible to run away as an alien? Its jumping to you through all the map avoiding corners and walls, or just got super speed on heavy attack so you cant escape, doesnt depends on your skill or smtng like it.
Well the Alien does have a huge grabbing length for a stealth kill.. I've been using those cockroaches a bit more and it's pretty damn far. :o They also need to fix the alien pounce to a knockdown on a marine cause it doesn't do jack sh*t. I knocked down 1 marine and that was when I was pouncing from a high altitude onto a marine below..
But about the pred knocking an alien down.. I realized it's fine. the preds can knockdown aliens for an easy kill and the aliens can stun preds with heavy tail on the wall or the ground. All it takes is 1 tail and the pred is stunned long enough for another one then just do a finishing move. At first I was considering it cheap but really, it's a tail so it's gotta hurt. So the way I see is, preds got knockdown, aliens got tail stun. All it takes is 1 of each to kill the other easily. So it's fair game to me.
Except that the preds can knock down aliens in almost every combat situation and aliens can only use the wall tail only when on a wall and if the pred is not careful enough. So no, it isn't fine.
You don't have to rely on wall tail. I'm talking about grounded melee. All it takes is 1 tail just like the preds just need 1 knockdown.
Or a disc in the face, grounded melee, you can get knocked down in all kinds of ways.
I keep timing out of dedicated servers in multiplayer. Usually, I'd just "verify game cache" and download some file, but when I did that today, and after it downloaded the file, I still timed out of every dedicated server I attempted to join.
I stay in for about ten seconds, maybe get a kill or die, and then time out.
Anyone know how to fix this? I'm even running Steam as administrator :\
I've been in several matches a night lately where the game fills up but the host never starts the match and is completely unresponsive; at first I just though it was someone who started a game and walked away from their console but its happening too frequently for that to be the case. Its like the host has left but the game forgot to migrate the game to a new host and leaves everyone waiting for an imaginary host to start the game.
Anyone notice this happening multiple times a night?
Yeah I don't go into hosted games anymore because of that

Then what do you do? because ranked matches hardly ever work either, and when they do its only 3 people in the damn game.
well mp in it's entirety is f***ed up so I just don't play it anymore.
When I did I just dealt with the long wait times on ranked and normal player matches. Better than waiting an hour for someone who probably isn't anywhere near their console or pc anymore.
Please keep this thread to bug reports and confirmations only.

Sometimes if you're in a certain species vision mode and you hold down the shoulder cannon button to lock on the locked-on triangular reticle doesn't appear and the weapon just fires straight.

Sometimes the dead bodies start spinning and flying around wildly.
It looks like this, but they're moving much faster:

PS3 version
I play on the PS3 and the game has worked as well as it could since launch but ever since three days ago I have been getting kicked from EVERY game due to a lost connection. My PS3s signal strength is at 100% and I am choosing games that I have a good connection to and I am still kicked. I have missed, what I thought, were going to be great games because two minutes into the match I lose the connection. It has gotten to the point that the game is pretty much unplayable. I am sitting here for an hour moving back and forth through matches not being able to connect to anything! My annoyances toward this game are starting to turn into anger...

Same thing happening to me and my friends. :(
My Predator story mode glitched up on the second level. Whenever I would set the time bomb for one of the other dead preds, It would randomly say I died. And rather then restarting at a checkpoint, it started me off at my point of death. Turns out all I had to do was restart the level

nah, I'm not kelitc. But I AM stuck at lv 18 on multiplayer due to a PS3 rank glitch
whats ur psn? figured out that the glitch is after the ranked match if u don't see the auto-save icon in the top right when it tells u ur xp it hasn't saved and playing another match will usually activate the save usually at the end of ur next match...hopefully...
I've been having some minor problems for awhile now, but usually they could be fixed up "verifying game cache" or they would simply go away on their own.
But then the problem escalated, and I was timing out of every server I joined within ten seconds of showing up.
So I uninstalled and reinstalled the game.
And now I can't even get into servers. I join, pick my species, and then it times out when it starts loading. For the first few weeks prior to any patches, this game worked perfectly (well, as perfectly as a no patched game can), but now I can't play online at all.
It's getting frustrating.
Does anyone know a possible fix? It isn't a graphics or hardware thing, my computer can easily handle this game (hell, I upgraded FOR this game), so I don't know what's wrong. My other online games work just fine, just not this one.
Did what the one mod told me to do, deleted some .blob file, still no good. When the game freezes on me, and I do a Ctrl Alt Del to get into the task manager, I get an error that says "aliens vs predator has stopped working" if that helps at all.

Tried that, it sometimes works, but mostly doesn't
Well, I installed the game again and it still has strange singleplayer and multiplayer lag/stuttering issues. The Nvidia drivers fixed only one thing, which was the 3 second freeze and the game goes back to normal. My problem is the game is unstable, it plays good one day and then plays terrible the next.
I've tried every single graphic setting both ingame and in the Nvidia control panel. Nothing works, the game is bugged or it hates my GTX 280 1GB card and will only play smooth on the latest ATi cards. I uninstalled the game, what a shame I really want to play it.
My dad and I have had AVP since the week it released for PS3, our number one favorite game. When the patch was released, his online account started acting funny. No matter what rank he achieved after this, each time he would sign back on to play, he would lose all (ranks, skins, and exp) down to rank 2. Any online MP seemed to act the same way since this happened with his avp online account, it would show that it is saving, but upon signing back...all would be lost(also affected Red Dead Redemption online save). Last night I reached rank 37 when I signed back on I was 36 again. I was able to use the Lord pred skin, but it would show that it was still locked. I attempted the process of gaining rank 37 two more times, and upon signing back in, it had knocked me back down to 36. I love this game and have been a huge AVP fan since I was a kid. Is there anything you can do to help me out Rebellion? I really want to avoid having to make a new account and lose all that I have worked for.
Thanks,
Rich

This is realy weird, mostly because you say Red ded has the same issue.
AvP takes your rank from the PS3 servers every time you log on (this means that playing from another PS3/XBox/PC will still give you XP), it has nothing to do with your AvP save game. If you are going back to your old rank it is because either your game results aren't reaching the server in the first place or it is not correctly saving them at the PSN end.

Is there anything I can do on my end to fix/make sure it saves? I saw where razorslash and a few others were having the same issue. There probably isn't anything that can be done, just trying to go through the steps. I appreciate the help man.
Not realy, you could try emailing sony/psn support and see if they know of any issues.
I think I found the issue with the sluggish gameplay for the PC. If AVP shadows are set to high and textures to very high it makes the game unstable and go completely nuts. I think people with 8800, 9800, and the 280 cards like I have will see this issue.
But I believe I found the sweet spot to where the game remains stable no matter how long your playing it. If you set textures to high and the shadows to high and keep the resolution low like at 1400x1050 res for example, the game will remain stable and still look amazing, even on dx10.
Hmmm I signed into my account last night via my brothers PS3 and for some odd reason it saved my ranks...odd.

If you are running an 8800 of 9800 you shouldn't even be attempting to run it at very high textures.
WRONG.
AVP wins the award for worst optimized game of the year in my book. You could have a monster 1GB video card and the lastest i7 CPU with 6GB and still get sluggish gameplay.

That's so untrue. I have a Nvidia 9800 GT 1 Gb and I'm able to run this game on very high settings (the performance has even increased with the latest patches), and I can't even run Metro 2033 or Mass Effect 2 on High... even my laptop which has a shitty Mobility Radeon 4330 can run AvP perfectly. Your issues are probably due to something else.
Insomniac was the one who said if you have a 9800 card you shouldn't be attempting to play it on very high, it's you that should be talking to him, not me.
I was simply replying to your comment about the game not being optimized. He's right about his comment, if the rest of your rig is as old as those video cards (which is a fair guess since the first thing ppl tend to upgrade is the video card), then you shouldn't even try to run ANY new game at very high textures... point is it will run smoothly at very high settings with that video card mostly depending on the rest of your rig & OS, so don't be surprised if it doesn't.
No he is not right.
He just said if you have a 9800 card you shouldn't be running the game on very high, you have a 9800 card and your claiming that it runs perfect on very high. Jesus!
I have a Intel Core 2 Extreme 2.93, Nvidia 280GTX 1GB and 4GB of SLi ram and I can't run AVP on very high settings because the game comes to a crawl after awhile of gameplay. I've read more than once of people having i7 cpu's and high end video cards and still having problems. Only few are saying it runs perfectly on their rig.
Not sure if this has been said before but.... In the Predator mission with the Preatorian boss fight, in the arena. If you go to the back left corner(near the observation booth) if you stand on the tallest part of the structure the Preatorian will freeze and the Aliens will be unable to attack. One was doing a 360 behind me.

Right, ok, maybe I should re-phrase that. If you are running an 8800 or 9800 you shouldn't EXPECT to run at very high textures. High, yes, by all means if its a 1Gb card high will probably work fine. But I think you are massivly underestimating how much memory is needed to load an AvP level with 2048x2048 textures.
It looks like a big case of give a man a rope he'll hang himself with it. If they went the bioshock route and didn't let you try full sized textures you would be shouting too. You've also not mentioned how much RAM you have or which level / game mode you are trying to run. Have you looked at free RAM on both system and graphics at the point it starts to struggle?
Marine colony with special features off and medium textures takes up 2.3Gb of RAM. Very high textures are 16 times the size of medium ones.
Yesterday..or..early morning today if you want to be technical. I was palying the pred campaign. Everything went smoothly. Im now on the level "ruins" I had it freeze up on me. Resulting in a console restart. I played it again, it frooze once more. Both time I was switching vision modes. After the second freeze I let my ps3 sit for awhile and popped in Clive Barkers Jericho.

I assume your on PS3?
Shouldn't happen with the lastest patch, but if for some reason you have latest patch and it's still happening your going to have to be very carefull how many times you switch vision modes...

If the patch didn't fix it for you, then you could try this:

i have it for ps3 but the only time it froze was when i was in melee with an alien as a pred and switched vision modes, but since i stood my ps3 up right rather than have it down, it plays perfect (...)
Hope it works :(
I do have the latest patch and its odd it only happend towards theend of the time I played it (about 4 hours) I think that may be why. I usually have my front intercooler on and then a external fan blowing. I didn't turn the external fan on UNTIL this happened. So this could be why. Thanks for the advice though. Im not going to stand it upright as..theres a air vent there. It would block airflow going into the system.
I dont know if its just me or what, almost every game i join all the people lag out of my team then the other team still has their players then i get destroyed, and then theres always a glitcher, his hits are way too powerful and fast i dont suck though i would get around twenty kills even with the glitchers. Is it just me or are there others who are having this?
I don't see how you guys are running it on the highest settings with those cards....
I have a GTX 480. The most powerful single GPU card currently out and I can't run it on the highest settings at 60FPS. On my GTX 260 with only DX9 settings then I could run it at 60+
Under DX9 this game runs very easily. Add in the advanced shadows, AA and tessellation and it suddenly brings the most powerful machines to a halt.

I think people are becoming too used to games where upgrading the graphics card is enough to up all the graphics settings to max. With AvP, having a system that is good all round (CPU, RAM, HDD) is just as important or you will just end up with a graphics card that sitting around waiting for the RAM to give it the textures. Having looked at my system and what it can and can't handle, I would say that getting very hgh textures running is more about having 8Gb or more of RAM than having a new graphics card...

Er, not really. I have a 7200 RPM HDD 6gb of DDR3 ram at... I think it's 1444mhz atm and a core i7 that I can clock up to about 3.9 ghz.
I don't think I have any problems anywhere. The thing is, RAM is not so important. As I said, I could EASILY run with very high textures on my GTX 260. My new graphics card has almost twice as much VRAM and I don't use up ANYWHERE near all of my ram in any game. The fact of the matter is that the graphics card is the most important part of the machine. I probably wouldn't even really need more then 4 gigs of ram, but I bought the ram in a bundle.

Sorry, I know I quoted you but I didn't mean you directly, just the "I have a good gfx card, therefore it must run well" thing has come up a lot.
Interestingly I just upgraded from XP Pro (tried with both 2Gb Dual Channel, 800Mhz and 3Gb Single Channel 800Mhz) to Win7 (4Gb Dual Channel under-clocked to 667Mhz) and running on full everything I can (All on full apart from DX11 features) runs a LOT better than it did (now feels like about 30fps rather than 5 or so). And thats just on an 8800 GTS and an Intel Q6600.
Colony uses about 3Gb of RAM with these settings, making 4Gb the absolute minimum you could pull it off with, haven't tried ruins yet.
So yes, your system should have no problem running AvP, have you tried it with just the DX11 stuff turned off? Does it then run at something silly? It might just be something like the current NVidia drivers handle tesselation badly or something, as the cards are pretty new.
As I said, it runs DX9 mode VERY easily, even my GTX 260 did. And the 400 series handles tesellation VERY well. Far better then the ATI 5XXX cards. Although performance is pretty much equal with a slight advantage in ATI's favor in AVP.
I keep seeing servers that say like 11/12 players or something of that nature, and no one is in the server!
I only found 1 populated server, the other 20 servers with players were actually empty.
I dont know if this is a glitch, but it is making it impossible to find games.
Yeah it happens to me too, I'll see a server that shows "33/18" or "12/15" and yet no one is playing.
That issue affects many online games. It's very easy to avoid in AvP tho:

Just join the servers marked as In Progress.
I'm not sure if anyone else has raised this in the past, but I don't wanna go through 48 pages of articles looking for one. I'll risk it.
Anywhat, for some reason multiplayer on my 360 for the new AvP game friggen' blows. I haven't gotten into a single decent match since I got the game. Always few players, lag, and other flak. Yet the demo worked flawlessly, smooth as one could wish for. So whats with all this crap from the game itself? Is a problem unique to myself, or is anyone else getting this kind of trouble? If so, please let me know if there is any way to improve things, cuz the current quality of my multiplayer is dismal at best. >:(
Ok I have no Idea if anyone brought this up but,
Theres a glitch in the PC DED servers where weapons and all projectiles will fall/go through the map.
I don't know if anyone has the same problem, but for some strange reason, que game gives me a CTD everytime I try to collect the trophy belt in the research lab in the predator campaign. The one right above the train, in a catwalk, in the big room as you enter the lab. I don't get any kind of message. It looks like the game just closes.
I just found this crash as this was my first time trying to get the collectables. Already finished the game multiple times and never had a single problem.
Do you guys thing that the problem could be with steam itself instead of the game? Since the problem appears to be related to the achievement.

If projectiles (marine grenades) are going through environment it sounds like the ded server itself needs to verift game cache, though if it happens on all ded servers I guess theres something else wrong.

Tried that. And the drivers were up-to-date.
Still nothing.
But I can confirm (and I can't get the achivement now) that the problem was with steam and not the game itself as playing the game with steam in offline mode enabled me to get the trophy belt without any crashes. Pity that I can't get the achivement now.
After patch 5 i sometimes hear the motion tracker when i'm playing as alien/pred.
I don't know if it is the motion tracker signal from the marine players or just a bug.
A couple of bugs that I've seen.
-Stuck in the environment when loading into a match.
This has happened to me a couple times in Gateway and Temple. I'll load in and only be able to jump to move around, sometimes it will go away after I've moved enough.
-Spawning in and falling through the environment
I think this might be due to two characters spawning into the same spot at one time, as I once saw a fellow marine fall through the floor with me in almost the same location (it looked like we were launched away from each other below the map)
-Delayed loading of the motion tracker
Sometimes after respawning the motion tracker won't be on screen (only the small bottom portion will be) and it will take a few seconds before it loads in.
-UI shows that I have some health left when dying.
I've died a couple of times with the UI showing that I had some health left.
- fix the 360 degree motion tracker.. you know it's supposed to be a 180 degree tracker
- Medicomp energy consumption: PC - only takes 1/3 energy.. console takes ALL... why are they different?
I think the 360 degree tracker is good from a balance perspective.
But, there is a bug where it can detect movement beyond its normal maximum range. On more than one occasion I have seen a dot 40-50 pixels above the tracker.
It should be 180 period. The only thing alerting you that there is someone behind should be the sound they make.
Then they need to guarantee a sound is heard. Footsteps is something all games have done pretty damn badly.
im on ps3 and i thought that a new patch was due to be released with the bughunt pack. does anyone know anything about this?
Saw a pretty funny glitch the other day.
I think I shot off the leg of an android as he was performing a cover or climbing animation. He fell down, but then got up and was running around with one leg. Occasionally he'd fall down like his leg had been shot off, but then he'd get back up and start bouncing around again. He finally fell down for good and I blasted his other leg off. Not game breaking but entertaining.
Not really a gamebraker bug, but on MP, the marine can get his pistol and so the alternative fire, which can be heard ALL around the map. Has anyone heard this? A lot of people do it in infestation.

In every other AVP game the motion tracker has been movie-faithful to being a 180 degree tracker. The only exception is that garbage expansion pack Primal Hunt which changed it for the corporate class but other then that.. it's supposed to be a 180 degree tracker.

- Medicomp energy consumption: PC - only takes 1/3 energy.. console takes ALL... why are they different?
You must have a bug cos im on ps3 and medicomp only takes between 1/3 and 1/4, and also even if i only have 1sliver of energy left (enough for 1 caster quick shot) i can still heal myself.
You should only be able to heal once.. not have it take 1/3 energy..
yes i agree, the shards from single player should be used.
I hate the new predator focus attack range and limitations...before you could focus attack between 1-16m but it has now been reduced to 1-12m and the knockdown range use to be 6-16m but is now 9-12m....I wouldnt have minded it being changed from 6-16 to 9-16 or even 12-16m but the way it is now it has really stuffed the preds focus attack...playing with 60-80 lag (which aint much at all) it is almost impossible 80% of the time to even initiate a focus attack now....the symbol for it flashes in and out rapidly and most of the time when its there, by the time you've pressed attack its actually already gone out of the range by either being to close or to far away but you don't realise cause of the lag and nothing happens...then they realise you are there as you've lost your moment of surprise as you turn up on the motion tracker or the alien hears you.
It really sucks compared to how the pred used to play, 3m in the AVP game is bugger all distance and so now is extremely hard to consistently pull of focus attacks.

I've noticed a similar issue with pounce when playing as an alien. I'll see the pounce prompt over an enemy press light attack and nothing will happen despite the fact the enemy is still in my pouncing range...
I just ot the game yesterday and everytime I try to go into MP it says creating group then it says something like group creation timed-out. I can't play MP because of this stinkin thing. I payed $20 to play a game in which half of it doesn't even work..

Same here. I play on the PS3 version and its annoying because it sounds like it's very close to you but it isn't so it confuses you.
Apparently, it's still not working. I just hope my worst fear hasn't realised itself... :(
Just recently started getting some weird issues since patch 5 has been applied.
- Controls seem to be laggy as hell all of a sudden, sometimes I click like 5 times trying to melee someone and it either doesn't respond in time or just doesn't connect when it does, most likely in relation to the next issue.
- Lag spikes whenever I encounter other people in the game, can be in a game with 60-80 lag then I notice strange things start happening whenever I go to attack someone, either long range or melee range...I check my lag and its spiked to 2000+!! :o
- Joined a game on Pyramid, spawned for the first time and didn't move for a couple of seconds while I got my hands into position on the controls...all off a sudden I fall through the floor of the map, keep falling for about 5sec and die...wtf?
There's been quite a few other odd things as well, most likely due to the the weird lag spiking....tell you what, a lot of the time I come to grief because I fall back to playing how I think the game would logically play out instead of at the measured slow pace it forces you to plat at...these lag issues on top are just giving me the absolute fkn sh#ts and along with everything else that's happened with this game, I frequently think about grabbing the CD and throwing it on the fire!
Cheers,
Valheru
This game can make you feel so up and down....just had the most awesome night playing for 5 hours straight and absolutely owning every game, each game ending on top with between 45-60 kills and a 15 kill streak (new personal best :P)....was just going off and loving it!
It could all have never have come about though if I didn't persist when initially:
- kept getting "Connection to group timeout" just trying to get into the multiplayer menus.
- lag spikes galore! till I restarted the game a few times.
- falling through the bottom of Pyramid again.
After getting past all that and finding a good server with plenty of people, I finally had an awesome time splattering aliens and spine ripping marines. ;D
If Rebellion really do plan to make another AVP after this one, they really need to lift the bar in pre-release testing! They also need to nut out all the game dynamics beforehand and just patch faults, not change how the game plays...this game plays so differently now to when it first came out, its like a different game altogether...they need to stop giving into every little whine that someone makes and just leave the game as it is, it wasn't that bad when it initially came out, it just needed a few tweaks...people will form their own strategies to overcome seeming uncountable situations such as the original disc spamming which only needed a tweak of energy use and a cool down...not actual nerfing of its power so that now it doesn't even represent the real thing from the movies. ::)

Here's a little example of some of the graphical glitches I get...all looks normal then BANG it looks like this and can't see ANYTHING.

The below happens most games, looks normal then changes all of a sudden where the contrast seems to automatically get turned up or something to a point where any sunlight makes it near impossible to see anything in the glare...the below image is on the map Ruins standing below the head statue sticking out of the wall above the stairs, looking across the canyon area.

Tell me about it. I have fallen through Jungle and Docks as well. Always occurring when I respawn. Other than that, I cannot find a common denominator for the occurences.

I'm actually thinking it is something to do with the recent safe spawn changes they implemented in patch 5...I reckon occasionally two people are spawned at the same spawn location due to lag and it causes one of them to fall through the map.
I have fallen through the map in c-block along with 2 of my friends in the upper left corner.
What a frign retarded game...try to quit out of a match and it just reloads you back into the same match. >:(
Had to ALT F4 just to get out of it and restart the game....how fkn gay!
I found a glitch which makes your mines invisible even to pred focus mode. Way cool but dont use it as it's not fair. I also found a glitch which breaks you out of heavy attack stun a little earlier so you can interupt their next heavy with a light and do heavy's of your own and win. It also works on wall and ceiling tailing aliens but your reactions have to be quick once you take the first blow and if you pull it off you will knock the aliens off the wall/ceiling so you can heavy attack them to death hehehe.

Yeah, happened to me before, nearly crashed my laptop. Why does this always happens when you try to leave the match in the last few minutes? It's really annoying.

It's doing it to me all the time at the moment, can be in a new game for 2min and try to leave...it won't let you.
So retarded...they fix bugs with their new patch but manage to introduce new ones at the same time. ::)
Not really a BIG glitch but sometimes when I spawn there's no hud for like 15 seconds then it comes back, It looks pretty cool without a hud though.
Hello,
Looking for some possible help here on a few issues:
1) Game won't launch. I get a black screen and an "AVP.EXE has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for this inconvenience." message.
2) When I try and validate the files as per steam, I keep getting a "1 file failed to validate and will be reacquired." message. The file is then downloaded. But no matter what I do (close and restart steam, reboot PC, etc...), the game still won't play (same "avp.exe" message as per #1 above) and whenever I try and validate the files again, I always get the same "1 file failed to validate and will be reacquired." message, followed by the supposed download. This is a never-ending loop.
I've done a pretty (to me, anyway) exhausting search here on this forum and these two threads seemed the best:
http://forums.sega.com/showthread.php?t=315592&page=2
http://forums.sega.com/showthread.php?t=328090
and I did/tried everything that was mentioned therein, but to no avail.
I also read and tried what was advised from the Sega and Steam websites problems/issues FAQs.
I've already tried to load the game on the three computers I've got here but I get the exact same errors/problems on all of them; they're all the same with the same specs:
Dell Vostro 200
Intel Core 2 Duo E4600 @ 2.40 GHZ
2GB RAM
Intel G33/31 Express (integrated) video with 256MB (shared)
Realtek High Definition Audio
1440x900 resolution on the LCD Monitors
Windows XP, SP3
I'm not a hard-core gamer, as you can probably see by the above statistics; these machines were from an office I had closed and I subsequently brought them home, here to my house, but they seemed, to me at least, to be capable of running the game.
Windows firewall has been turned-off and I've also pared-down the settings/functions on the AVG, but AVG cannot be completely turned-off without uninstalling it.
All drivers are up-to-date.
For the record, I purchased the original game back in 1999, upgraded it to the "gold" version in 2000 (for which I received a free, rubber face-hugger and three, 27"x40" AVP/Rebellion game posters in the mail along with the CD - LOL), purchased AVP 2 around 2002 or so, and was awaiting the release of this game, that I'll refer to as AVP3, since it's the third installment in the PC-based series.
Needless to say, I'm more than a bit disappointed so far; the others ran very smoothly right from the box with nary a bump...although the original AVP indicated that a minimum of 4MB of video was required to make it playable, when, in reality, it took 16MB (from a Voodoo card from 3dFX, remember them?) to make it play 100% smoothly without any hang-ups.
That was back in the day when 95+% of people on Mplayer were on dial-up connections and 450mhz CPUs with 128mb of RAM were top-level machines – LOL.
Anyway, any help or thoughts would certainly be appreciated with respect to AVP3.
Thanks,
Jason
Yeah mine does that sometimes as well...other times I change vision mode as pred but it doesnt properly render sometimes for like 5-10sec.

Your integrated graphics chips will be the problem I would imagine.

is this some kind of bug?
not sure if its a bug but i know it was from dark to celtic (hunter) skin...which is odd most likely a glitch though
How in the world that can be an easter egg? I think AvP would be the last game in the world I would look for easter eggs, as they barely delivered the Normal content.
Obvious glitch, and thank God it doesn't effect the gameplay or balance...
Yup, most definitly a glitch. Could've been a hack too, if I didn't know the guy, Mr.Chen. I've played with him before and I never caught him cheating. As far as I know, he's clean.
Yeah, happened to me before, nearly crashed my laptop. Why does this always happens when you try to leave the match in the last few minutes? It's really annoying.
[/quote] No what's annoying is players leaving just before the end of the game so that others don't get their xp.
If your losing you should still finish the match as that is the decent thing to do.
Finish the match and you won't have that problem any more, simple.
yea ive had hosts quit the game in the last 5 seconds! i was like WTF?!
i know this is most likely been mentioned in another topic but i dont fancy lookign through for about an hour... i was on the xbox 360 playing avp, ranked 30... i wake up the next day to find i am rank 27? this is not sparta!!! this is bullshit!!! i thought that problem was fixed with the patch ages ago? you know how long it takes to advance in rank anyway? then this dirt happens. this happened recently with anyone? really not cool. oh and sega F u for stopping support. peace out people.
Hmm should'v went with PC. At least technically no one owns that platform... yet.
people complain... aliens should have a better stun or some rubbish considering predators are superior meelee? well yeah... thats because predators are superior in power to aliens... thats why they can knock down aliens and aliens cant... get that through your head idiots... the alien has superior speed... can see its enemies everywhere even through walls and ceilings. you come up against a predator you better be ready... thats the general idea... its balanced fine... its just people moaning why isnt my favorite character stronger... boo hoo. if you make aliens as stronge as predators then you might aswel rule predators out as unplayable because people will literally just spam the weapons. think people, think. there is nothing wrong with the balancing in the game if you think so then write me back and il prove you wrong fair enough?
i don't care about stun (except that countering predators attacks stuns em for half a second) as that the alien has to attack the pred alot with its tail to kill it...try playing as a marine or alien against one pred solo...they ain't matched...

Buddeh, you were proven wrong time and time again, even the devs agreed and made the balance changes.
We don't care about the "idiots" line also, so watch it.
I play on the 360, which may have gotten different patches.
I have only three problems with the game.
1. I haven't found a use for the flamethrower. It doesn't knock predators or aliens out of a heavy attack, it takes a really long time to kill, it's short range and time to target make it ineffective.
Am I doing it wrong?
2. There are at least two maps that put the Alien at a disadvantage. I think the races are balanced really well, if the map geometry supports each. A good example of that would be refinery.
The two maps I have serious problems with are the one taken from campaign with the crashed Marlow escape pod, and the large jungle map with two open areas connected by alien tunnels.
The first one I always do terribly on as an Alien, and with the Xbox's population level I get stuck on that map in FFA. I have serious trouble engaging enemies in territory that is suitable for the Alien, because even the tunnels on that map are well lit and open. Any tips would be appreciated, because I'm at a loss for how to approach it.
The second one is better, but not by much. Since about half of the map is open air, Aliens have far fewer attack paths than on, lets say, Refinery. A team of two marines was able to hold off 4 aliens for half of the match, by standing at the top of a staircase. We were only able to dislodge them with a freak rush. Each of the marines was able to get a 15 kill streak because we weren't able to bust them out of that position.
3. The plasma caster vs Marines.
With it's lock on, marines die unless they can get behind cover. With an uncharged shot, it still knocks them down, making them easy prey for anything nearby. This would be fine, since hitting is much harder for that, but combined with the two it makes it really hard to respond against a predator in the rafters. At about 10 foot range, a surprised predator can turn, charge his caster, jump, fire and hit a marine with a smartgun before the smartgun kills him. I feel the tracking is too strong.
agreed unkle... personally i think that the plasma shouldn't lock on(or at least so fast)... its not hard to aim ahead of prey...the lock on should just track em u should aim it...
Even on console, the plasma lock on is overpowered considering what the marines have to respond with. Their lack of a focus mode also is irritating, making it harder to obtain the proper weapons for a situation.

Unfortunatly theres not an aweful lot of usfull information to go on, it's an access violation in AVP itself, it might be because of a driver giving back bad info or it might not. Do you get the same crash in the dx9 version?

Afraid that might have been useless info.
I get the same errors in regular play, dx11, and dx9. Single player works fine nad I've been tiding myself over with that.
Hopefully Sega's tech support will get back to me soon :3
I did update some drivers on my computer last night. Those didn't help either. One was for my motherboard and the other was for some network connection card.
In the trailers the spitter/runner aliens have domes, but in the game their ridged heads are exposed.If it helps I'm on ps3.
Check your PMs
Alright. Sega got back to me and after a few tries we got my game fixed. Sega, you have some amazing customer support :)
I'm not sure why these things worked. At all. But they did
I went into the AvP files and reinstalled the AvP directX files. I then verified the game cache (after doing the first step the game found six files that needed to be redownloaded) I then finished off by defraging the game cache.
I've done the last two quite a few times, but I've never had it come up with so many broken files.
But I'm not sure why this worked at all. It did though so all is good. :P
Good to hear :)

Is it just me, or is my rank advancing, and the next time I sign in, it's lower again? What the hell?
Hi guys,
Been having this strange problem, where I join a MP game on dedicated server, when i join in i get stuck in the Camera (CTV) view i can switch different cameras to see the map. But I cant see any one listed on the scoreboard or in game but they are fighting it out. I hear the sounds and see some gun fire or effects going on in the map but cannot see any one there. Any ideas or has anyone got this problem? I can't join in the actual game just watch which looks like an empty map but they are fighting it out and i can't see them

Even on console, the plasma lock on is overpowered considering what the marines have to respond with. Their lack of a focus mode also is irritating, making it harder to obtain the proper weapons for a situation.
How is it over powered? One shot should kill IMO even on the low setting. But it doesnt. A marine can dodge it if he can see it coming. Sometimes a full charge shot doesn't kill. And it doesn't lock on very well.
Mjello!
Well, just bought a new machine and i wanted to test out AvP to see how it would run.
I got no lags of any kind but i soon realized that the predators cloak renders him COMPLETLY invisible. Like in the first real mission as predator the pod you arrived in just looks like air, there's nothing at all. The 'ripples' from the cloak is gone. And when i encountered the first marines and turned on the thermal vision some odd trails got stuck on the screen where the marines had been. Anyone had these problems or know any solution? Its really unplayable in my opinion and i dont even want to think about the multiplayer with predators being completly invisible... Could use some help please.
I already reinstalled the game and got nothing, also tried to switch between dx 9 and 11 but the same bugs appear.
My system:
Windows 7 64bit
Radeon 5870
Intel i5 750 2.67GHz

Already done that several times.

Then it downloads and i try the game out, but the same bug is still there.

Got the latest drivers for your video card too? There were some issues with ATI Catalyst and AvP before the 10.2 version.

Yea, i got the newest 10.10 version.
The game just keeps downloading the file, and i keep validating. Nothing happens. Its the "only" problems I've encountered so far though.

As its a steam only game it should install the latest c++ runtimes (and directx) for you when you first startup the game, but you could try this just to be sure.
Hey guys,
Just got my new graphics card which supports dx11, tried running AVP in dx11 mode and looks great apart from when i use a vision mode as a predator, then i get after images galore making it almost impossible to see. Has anyone else experienced this and found a solution?
I might get some screen caps to help show what I am talking about if no one understands.
I am just running AVP in dx9 for now but would really like to be able to run it in dx11 since I now have a card that will do it.
Thanks,
Valheru

Sorry for the late reply, but i kinda gave up hope that anyone would come up with a solution.
Well, im not actually sure that its getting installed correctly, but if it is, its not doing the job. Still got the same issues. The game keeps downloading a file after i validate, but when i enter the game the same problem exists and then i close the game and validate again and it downloads the file once more. Its a circle of neverending validate and download with completely invisble predators and odd vision mode :/
If you want i could probably try to take a couple of screenshots to show you how it look? Not sure how to upload the pictures, but i might figure something out.
EDIT: Uploaded two videoes to youtube to show you exactly how it looks like.

it turns black screen and crash, then back to my desktop and there is a new text file called "AVP2010crashedxxx_xxx" in my folder
help me please!!!!!!!!
I tried any way as I can

but none of them help the problem
I am trying to update my graphic driver and sound driver
maybe this is the last chance
There may have been a topic on this before, but I could not find one.
I ordered this game off of ebay a few days ago and just got it today. Download and installation was completely fine. I try to go to the predator campaign and play on easy, the cutscene stuff is fine and so is the main menu when I go through it. But then I come to the actual gameplay where the predator is in his first mission, just the training I think, and the lag makes it completely unplayable because it freezes every single second and when I try to move it takes about 10 seconds to take one step. It is incredibly frustrating. I tried the marine and alien as well and they are both lag fests.
Maybe a graphic issue. Lag is for mulitplayer.
Post your machine specs and game settings. Also verify the game is patched to the latest version.
Well. My game setting are all of the default type. How do I check that it is patched to the current update and how do I find my machine specs?
Your game is patched by Steam automatically. As for your specs, enter here (http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/) and pick AvP from the menu. You're not experimenting lag, just bad FPS probably due to your computer not being able to handle the game.

Like undel said, your hardware is not powerful enough to run the game at default. Pause and go to options, then video and lower the settings until it's playable.
Very interesting. I guess the problem lies within my graphics card. Thanks guys.

I'm assuming nothing in your lst files are conflicting with the game, and that vista isn't having compatibility issues either. Have you tried lower the game settings, scanning hard drive for errors, playing other equally demanding games, monitoring the temperature of your graphics card etc?

Actually I think the biggest gameplay bug I have found so far for me is the LAG!! It's really odd, I'll play Counter Strike Source through Steam and join a game advertised with a ping of 30 and get an ingame ping of 30....if I join an AVP game advertised as 50 ping, I'll get between 110 and 150-170 ingame most of the time with occasional random spikes to 500+...what the hell!!??
Anyone got an answer for this? Just dodgy inefficient netcode? I don't experience these inaccurate ping advertisements or lag spikes in any other game. Makes for some very frustrating matches sometimes in AVP.
Cheers,
Valheru
Maybe the AVP servers are further away from you then the ones in Counter Strike.. :P

Mate...read my post correctly ::)
Server list in CSS shows a game with 30 ping...I join it and get 30 ping in game.
Server list in AVP shows a game with 50 ping...I join it and get 150 ping in game as well as really bad lag spikes.Got an answer for that? :P

I have a friend who has been having problems (On PC) running aliens vs predator ever since he's got it, but more recently he hasn't been able to play it.
He has never been able to see the server list for some reason in game, and rarely used to see any servers through steam. They would only show up every now and then, he usually had to join through someone but could play the game just fine.
He currently now sees no servers on steam as well as in game and it hangs/freezes at joining a multiplayer lobby/game effectively locking up his computer but still able to talk on a program like ventrilo but can't exit out of the game there for causing him to restart.
He joined a game once a week or so ago, but he was only able to play for a few minutes until it crashed on him and now it just does what I previously stated.
He's reinstalled the game after suffering from a virus recently and has also verified the game cache, so those don't work.
Any Ideas? The help would be much appreciated!
I also get random crashes sometimes when joining a game. I'll join a server, the game loads, I'll here the sound of my marines lamp turn on, then get sent to my desktop.
I just cut off a Comabat Androids head with the disk as the Predator, and got behind it, and did a stealth kill. The Predator, grabbed the androids missing head and stabbed his wrist blades into the Androids back and lifted him off the ground, and the blood was shooting out was RED!
^yep. Seen that a few times as well. Just more evidence that the game was rushed.

Ranking glitch. It doesn't always save your ranks.
SEGA refuses to fix this.
An easy way around this is to play a ranked match, but when it takes you back to the Pre-Game Lobby afterwards, quit and find another. It SHOULD save now, because the coding is still thinking that Ranked matches will take you back to the multiplayer menu, so it won't save any ranks unless you do this.

Why do Aliens jump while initiating the Heavy Attack? It really annoys me >:(
Plus, my friend found out a way to win matches by using a tree as his shield as a Predator.
He would jump into the trunk of a tree in the Jungle Map and would stand inside the trunk of the tree and fire at people. Why are people trying to win matches through glitches?! ???

Dodge from what? I kill them anyway but sometimes they land behind me and I get stealth killed. :P
QuoteA Cause they're ducks

I have Anatidaephobia, you know.
The mere thought of 'ducks playing AvP' disturbs me to a critical level.
I can't hear SK100 on AvP and he can't hear me.
BUT everyone else on AvP can hear HIM and ME
And we can hear everyone else too.
AND We can't join eachothers matches because it'll say
that the session has timed out.
Help?
You know on the last Marine Mission after you kill Bishop before you get the datapad the open hole in the ground with lava. Try jumping and punching at the same time, you can jump onto an invisible platform and you can shoot the ground but you won't fall.
I've been playing the PC version and have noticed two tiny graphical glitches:
Weird shadow when using the Marine's flare:

While playing as the Pred, hitting a wall multiple times causes the scratch marks to flicker. This doesn't happen with the Alien.

You need to download Alien Verus Predator - Dedicated Server.
It should be in the tools tab on Steam.
Then select Dedicated (Internet) instead of User hosted.
Ps - Lay off the caps, buddy ;)
Found another glitch:

my computer is fully up-to-date with windows XP updates, all my drivers are updated through Driver genius, my steam cache files are 100% Validated through ther verification application in steam properties. I have AMD Phenom X6, GTX 460, 4gb Ram
I have deleted my cache files and re-verified thru steam - Didn't Help
I have deleted appupdatestats.blob abd clientregistry.blob - Didn't help
I have installed DirectX9 thru redist folder - Didn't Help
I Have re-installed the game 3 Times - Didn't help
Anyone else having this?
Basically, The sound in Mausoleum glitches out. Sometimes the alien squeels are a higher pitch, rarely they are a lower pitch, but mostly, the sound just kinda cuts in and out, giving them this weird "gargling" sort of sound.
The sound is fine in every other map, only happens in Survivor in Monument.
I can't remember if I've been on Mausoleum since the latest update, which I realize was probably over a year ago.
I've cleaned the disc, which didn't help at all.
I'm playing the PS3 version of the game
Yeah it's done that to me as well
Yeah, I and everyone I've played with has gotten this. the sound of the Aliens starts to warble or gargle unnaturally.

Hello
I have read through this topic and still couldn't fix the problem with dedicated servers. There were no problems before,but when i reinstalled the game on win 7 suddenly they are all gone.
I've tried to download the dedicated server for AVP from steam as someone wrote before,but isn't it for people who want to run dedicated servers and not just play them? I turned off the firewall,as for the antivirus i use avast home and didn't find a place to stop blocking the game in it. I'm not even sure if antivirus is blocking it. The game still show me some servers when a player is a host,but that's all. Any solutions?
Whoops, I think I posted my glitch video on the wrong thread. I didn't see this one.
Can I share it here too?
