Version differences

Classic 2000 edition includes the added content from the Gold Edition, as well as modifications to run the game on modern systems without requiring tweaking.

Only the GOG.com and Steam versions of Classic 2000 include multiplayer.

Essential improvements

Patches

Patches are available for both the Windows and Macintosh versions. Digital distribution versions are already patched.

Modifications

• Aliens versus Predator Classic Redux - a completed project that updates and expands the original Aliens vs. Predator Classic 2000. It replaces almost every model, texture, and sound in the game with higher quality ones. Every single-player and standard multiplayer map has these improvements, and some single-player levels have significant additions.
• AvP Direct3D9 Renderer - updated renderer for improved compatibility (almost pointless with classic 2000 version, except for resolution independent menu rendering)

Ports

• An unofficial Linux port was created and it's source code is available here. It contains compiling instructions and required dependencies for compiling.

Issues fixed

Game crashes at the end of the mission

In some missions game crashes, when player presses any key at the results screen.

Use a restart function
Play through a level like you normally would. At the end of a level, when the game displays stats press Esc to restart the mission. Press Esc again to go to in-game menu and choose Abort Play to go back to main menu. Choose Single Player and after that choose a campaign, they you've just been playing. Choose a newly unlocked mission from the list and continue your playthrough.
