Hello AvPU,
I want to take a moment and thank everyone involved in the revival of this game. I honestly cannot express how much gratitude I have to see my childhood up and running after not having played in over 8 years.
I have decided to finally try and install it with the new patches that were released, but I'm having some issues that I can't seem to figure out.
I am following these instructions (I forget where I downloaded it, but it was a link that x-M-x posted in an older thread):
Quote:-Open step 1->avp2_1 and click on setup when it asks for cd 2 click on browse and direct it to folder
avp2_2 then back to avp2_1 when it asks for cd 1.
-Open step 2->install these in order of:
avp2_en_096
avp2_en_mp1
avp2_en_sp1
avp2SMSInstall - *IMPORTANT* when you install this make sure to UNCHECK UPDATER before installing
-Open step3 move and replace "avp2.exe" to where you installed avp2. Default is C:\Program Files\Fox\Aliens vs. Predator 2
This is your new exe make a shortcut of it.
-Launch avp2 go to Multiplayer internet when it asks for an update click ok and then server list.
-USING A CUSTOM RESOLUTION
Open "autoexec.cfg" with notepad located in you avp2 directory and change these values:
"SCREENWIDTH"
"GameScreenWidth"
"SCREENHEIGHT"
"GameScreenHeight"
-Josh "dvtr-" G
For Step 1, I did everything in the instructions, and it seems to work, up to when its 100%, then I get this message:
Quote:Error Number: 0x80040702
Description: Failed to load dll: dsetup
Setup will now terminate.
No idea what this means, any ideas?
Edit:
If it helps any to know PC specs, I'm running Windows 8. Don't think this should be an issue nowadays. If you need anymore information let me know.
