Cutscenes play too fast
The game won't launch
If nothing happens when you click the .exe you might have to try 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.[citation needed]
Running the game as an administrator has also prove useful in launching the game for some people.
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 or you can also set the compatibility. This error seems to also occur more often when running in Fullscreen mode; consider using Windowed mode (possibly in conjunction with the Borderless Gaming utility).
MSI Afterburner overlay makes the game crash
Change the settings in RivaTuner[citation needed]
|
- After launching MSI Afterburner, open the Riva Tuner Statistics Server from the system tray.
- Add lithtech.exe from <path-to-game> to the settings.
- Set Stealth mode to "ON".

MFC Application Client crashing when load levels
Find avp2.exe and lithtech.exe (located inside the game's root folder, where the .exe file is) right click on lithtech.exe properties compatibility tab check run this program in compatibility and choose Win98/ME and check run as admin and click apply. Right click on avp2.exe properties, compatibility tab check run as admin and click apply

Modding
- Replaces most textures in the game with higher resolution ones.
- The mod drastically changes the game's overall aesthetic, aiming for more gritty, desaturated look, which may be unacceptable for a lot of players.
