Just wait for the 2.1 patch. It'll come soon.. err, sometimes within near future. Just give it some time. ^^ Its going to be worth it. And for people who literally want to get rid of cheaters, theres an option to put a high crc checking on so no one can use any skins/mods/huds/anything like that.. Or atleast so I've heard.

I'm definitely not a fan of disabling skins and other client side mods. Hopefully most server owners won't enable that. Just because a few players use cheat skins, that shouldn't spoil everything for everyone.

Worth it? high crc checking should only be for server mods... not a patch... (people will abuse that via the patch no doubt)

Skins can be used as cheats?  How so? I haven't played AVP 2 in a while but shouldn't the server already detect your game resources to see if everything checks out? Anyways if you guys are releasing a new server patch I might actually try AVP 2 MP out. It's been years since I last played it.

The lighting model for maps and models are separate and using a negative or fullbright skins for your enemy guarantees you can shoot off someone's face literally across a map.

I'll actually be surprised people will still try and use 'cheat skins' for a 14 year old game...

Unfortunately there are still a few who use skins like that. This should get rid of those when needed for some special servers who want to make sure they are playing a clean game. It should be possible to allow HUD skins and get rid of everything else at the same time for those special ones. And yeah, most servers work like they used to in the future, I think. Its up to the fellas running the servers.

One day....One day someone will make a film like this masterpiece that will put all the others films in second place...Aliens (1986) couldn't hold a candle to properly done film like this game. AvP 2 (2001) is absolute perfection on every aspect of action and story. One day...

After a 'public outcry' the maps got re-added

I'm getting a strange message. When I click Multiplayer Online, I get the loading bar for checking the connection and then it says "Verification has failed... internet connection may be down or the servers can't verify, limited to LAN games". I'm paraphrasing but I haven't encountered this problem before. Any thoughts? It's worked before for me, no prob.


UPDATE: Tried redownloading the master patch... SUCCESS!

That's because of a recent conflict.... the games still playable on 2.1 for now.

you can download 2.2 if you want, but were not offering support on that version. (until we resolve this issue)

although I not agree with some choices made by TBBC.
but his initial idea was good.

the 2.2 ms or if you prefer the term TBBC master server mod
has found great sucess in popularity other servers have adopted this system (DBH for exemple)
despite this rivalry between TBBC and mrx I still hope that we can move forward.
why not bury the war 's hatchet and look the future 2.2 beta 2.2 alpha or 2.3 costum
if some one want to read i have post my idea here

He was always fascinated with the concept of gog and his universe.
It would be nice to also apply the old AVP2 and his old dlc.
I have no idea if you can do it.
http://www.gog.com/forum/general/alien_vs_predator_2_primal_hunt_to_gog (http://www.gog.com/forum/general/alien_vs_predator_2_primal_hunt_to_gog)

it would be nice if gog take charge avp2 of storing game for historical reason.
recently Gog released a free AVP classic.
I never tried this version  because I have already AVPC on my steam.
p.s
AVP2 gold It is not only the name of the complete package of avp2 but also the name of an old mod created by Acid Glow.
this mod you can find it on mod db

Title: Re: Official Master Server Patch Website
Post by: Bio Mech Hunter on May 14, 2015, 06:41:01 PM
Interesting. I didn't know it was also the name of one of Acid Glow's mods. I'll have to look it up. Thanks for the tip, mate. :D

The AVP2 mod I played most was AJL's. That mod was freak'n INCREDIBLE.
