I want to try this but first i must install Primal Hunt and for some reason it won't install. Thanks for your efforts though.
Did you grab the game from our site?
Avpunknown.com ? Also check out the official avp2 community Discord (we have a tech-support) channel there.

Thank you

Thanks for the reply. Actually, i installed the main game from a magazine cd, it was given as a gift. I will check the above link, hopefully i will find a solution. Keep up the good work.
I joined the discord server and i instantly left. Do you seriously ask for a telephone number for someone to be able to comment there? I didn't expect that.
The telephone number is a discord feature and has nothing to do with the avp2 staff over there.
It's a security measure, because last year the discord was spammed attacked.
But 2800+ member's don't seem to have a problem adding their number.
it's also good to secure your discord account with a cell number too.
No staff will see your number, it's only you and attached to your account.
I respect the work you do but you say it yourself, it's a security measure and it has to do with the staff there, it's their choice. I know it because i am a member in other channels without this requirement. Many members want to give their phone to discord, fine, this doesn't mean we all have to do it. I keep tracking this mod, i just won't be a member there.
Excellent job guys!
The game runs really nice!
