About Aliens vs. Predator with
by ElderPredator on May 5th, 2010
PC patch 4 has been uploaded to Valve, and this is now available via Steam.
Patch notes are as follows;
Client
• Fix for a Skybox rendering problem in D3D11 build on Nvidia Fermi cards
• Various small D3D11 optimisations
• Fixed rare bug where clients would get stuck on the loading screen.
• Fix clients not seeing the 'custom match' flag updating in the 'Browse' screen when the dedicated server was changing settings after initially hosting a match without changing any variables
• Use an [R] prefix for rcon command output text upon successful receipt of a rcon command
• Prevent windows cursor being stolen when starting in windowed mode but then doing ALT-TAB immediately.
• Show (and sort) dedicated server search results as they come in instead of waiting for search to complete before displaying anything.
• Fix extraneous [Team] appended to MOTD text when joining game in progress
• Invitations to dedicated server games now work.
• Fixed all dedicated server games showing as "at lobby" in the server browser, regardless of being at lobby or in progress.
Dedicated server:
• Fixed "Ghost players" being created on a server if the Steam backend could not be reached for authentication when someone connected. These appeared in the player counts when browsing servers, and in the server details player list when viewing servers in the Steam client server list.
• Added more info to server console when players connect/disconnect, and print out the player list in the command window (including scoreboard) at the end of each game.
• Use an [R] prefix for rcon commands and echo command output to server console as well as sending it to rcon client.
• Enabled logfiles (writes out console output and some command line errors only to files in logfiles_dedicatedserver). You can still override the logfile directory by specifying -logdir on the command line and if you do so any logfiles from a previous session will be archived in a directory called logfile_backups.
• Small performance optimisations
• Dedicated server species ratios' commands check for unset values and report the default values instead of the invalid value (-1). The dedicated server was correctly setup in this case, but the command feedback text was inaccurate.
The patch should automatically be applied when the Steam client is run, or restarted if already running.
Sweet game finished 3 times already.
Hope they make more.
To bad you only get single marine gametype could have done with a Alien and Predator version.
More like a 9999999/10 :D
no 9999999.1/10 lol beat that xD
i wasnt a avp fan so i didnt like it but i guees if your a true fanboy of the series than u will probely love this game
im avp fan to i love this game 5/5 5/5 5/5 5/5 o.O
Game is awesome but we need Dedicated servers...
it gonna be in next patch/update
To the people that think the game is disappointing:
I think the game is great, just got it yesterday.
Sure the campgaign is a bit short but come on! Dont let that get to you. Im a true AvP fan I dont care if campgaign is short or the species could be unbalanced. Its AVP come on guys! I dont want the Alien/predator name to die out in the future. Its AvP, if you love AvP this is the game for you.
Why so much hate on this game? It kicks ***! It also brings back old times from the old games.
Yes it is an Kick *** game, and the campaigns are very enjoyable/ok, short as I stated last time, but there is another problem with the game now, trying to find a game, and when you are in it starts up, then says Connection error, and you’ll get kicked, or when you are just about to start a game, it then says Host has left the game, Thou there is no host, as it is servers as I understand!
And of courses the constant campers and Disc spammers (Disc Spammer - A douche *** or douche bag who uses the smart disc non-stop for all their kills regardless to the proximity of other players. (or simply put someone who uses nothing but the disc to kill others) on species TM match all the predators and marines do is just tag team and hold a certain part of the map, just leaving the alien to do all the hard working trying to get a well earned kill instead of an easy camp fest kill from the Predators and the marines, now it’s not all the players do this, but got to be a least a good 30% of players who do these things, now I’ve played some fantastic games when all the players have played like pro’s and played properly. Thou I’m still playing it so, I hope they fix the connection problems and do something about the camping ****, perhaps a anti camp system in both games of the 360 and PC and PS3!
