Project "Savior" is a mod designated to increase the lifespan of AvP2 internet multiplayer games, by providing an alternate master server. The aim is also to keep the user experience the same. It will basically allow players to find and join online AvP2 multiplayer servers. What happens next is up to the players' skills.

As mentioned earlier, after Sierra pulled the plug on the master server for AvP2, we were left with one sollution: make a master server of our own.
The project was successfull, and for several months master.lithfaq.com provided the much needed functionality to keep AvP2 online.
However, the server put a lot of stress on the machine, and the only way to keep it running was to move it to a better machine. This, however, means that all game servers and game clients must now point to the new server. To help this, we have prepared the 1.2.3 version:
And yes, the transition has already started:

So upgrade to 1.2.3 and join us!

Yo and thanks for resurrecting this awsome game. I downloaded the full version of 1.2.3 for the server to run on my 1.0.9.6 version of the game but when I hit the .exe to start AVP2 I get the message:
"Please go to Control Panel to installl and configure system components"
please contact me at pickle.surprise@hotmail.com if you have the solution.
P.S: Does the AJL mod work with the new servers? Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Im gonna re-install AVP2 and give it a try; I'll post again if the problem persistes.
Okay: I reinstalled and patched up the game; installed project saviour and the AJL mod as well. It didnt work. It tells me "WS_ServerReq_NoServersSpecified" So I uninstalled the AJL mod and now AVP2 crashes on startup; it gives me this
"Client MFC Application has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience"
wtf is going on? can anyone contact me with the email address one post above?
Hi there!
Well, unfortunately it will not work on AJLs. Both Savior and AJL have a common file that get's changed, so the mods are not compatible. Good news is that AJL is working on having his mod use the new master server. For more details you should contact him on their forums.
Really? That is probably THE best news I've ever heard in my life!
:D
For people who's game stops responding when trying to "find internet games", here is a work around here.
Lithfaq.com
enjoy (Not my work)
ok I got it to work and I can join servers and stuff but theres no sound, and everyones an asshole lol
I'm not an asshole :p
You could play with me
Regarding the sound, you might want to click the 'Options' button on the game launcher itself. It could be that the Disable Sound checkbox is ticked.
As for the remaining players being assholes, I'd just ignore them.
I am having the following problem I start avp 2, then the main menu has no erie music like the original, then I search for internet games, and they say that the world vesion is different, Is my problem that I have the Ultimate Mappack 2 installed? what is the problem here CAUSE I JUST WANNA PLAY :_( btw I have version 1.0.9.6
Sorry. It's "avgnsx.exe", which seems to be AVG's net scanner. Comes back almost as soon as you kill the process, but seems enough time for server list to appear, then you can connect to a game.
