Issues and Fixes

The game won't launch

If nothing happens when you click the .exe you might have to try using a crack instead and then running the game in Windows 98 compatibility-mode. To do this right-click avp2.exe, click options and go to the compatibility-tab. Check the compatibility-box and choose Windows 98. Also tick Run this program as an administrator.


If it says something about "MFC Application Client" - Check the Windows Event Log for the application error - if it refers to a \system32\HID.DLL then you're probably using a gaming-keyboard or similar, try disabling the HIDs related to your gaming-peripherals.

Improvements

Skip Introductions, Cutscenes and Videos

Intro videos can be skipped by clicking on Options in the launcher and ticking Disable Logos.

Higher resolution textures

AvP2 2007 Mod that replaces most textures in the game with higher resolution ones.
