==Issues fixed==
 +
===Run the game at screen refresh rate===
 +
{{ii}} Rebellion's Asura engine may automatically set monitor refresh rate to 60 Hz; this can result in reduced smoothness on a high refresh rate monitor even if GPU render shows a high FPS count.
 +
{{ii}} If Vsync limits refresh rate to 60 fps on a high refresh rate monitor, this is a sign this issue is occurring.
 +
{{Fixbox|description=Set display refresh rate|ref={{cn|date=May 2017}}|fix=
 +
# Download [https://special-k.info/ Special K].
 +
# Copy {{file|SpecialK32.dll}} to the installation folder and rename it to {{file|dxgi.dll}}.

# Start the game and exit.
 +
# Open {{file|dxgi.ini}} in the installation folder.
 +
# Change <code>RefreshRate=-1</code> to <code>RefreshRate=0</code> under <code>[Render.FrameRate]</code>.

Issues fixed

Run the game at screen refresh rate

Rebellion's Asura engine may automatically set monitor refresh rate to 60 Hz; this can result in reduced smoothness on a high refresh rate monitor even if GPU render shows a high FPS count.
If Vsync limits refresh rate to 60 fps on a high refresh rate monitor, this is a sign this issue is occurring.
Set display refresh rate[citation needed]
  1. Download Special K.
  2. Copy SpecialK32.dll to the installation folder and rename it to dxgi.dll.
  3. Start the game and exit.
  4. Open dxgi.ini in the installation folder.
  5. Change RefreshRate=-1 to RefreshRate=0 under [Render.FrameRate].

Notes

If the monitor has a manual refresh rate toggle button, use that to set a higher refresh rate instead of using a custom .dll.

No servers available

Method 1: Change server type in-game[citation needed]

In the in game browser, set Server Type to Dedicated (Internet).

Method 2: Choose server from the Steam client[citation needed]
  1. Open Steam, click on View > Servers.
  2. Under Game, select Alien vs Predator.
  3. Select the server to play in.
