Fixing the game is annoying but simple. (IT WORKED FOR ME!!!)

https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3396426835

in this guide they are mentioning a zip file.
1. download the zip and open it.
2. drag those into the game files and confirm the replacing of those 3 files.
3. right click and go to "properties" then "compatibility"
4. turn on compatibility mode with windows 7 selected in there and click on the box that says "run this game as administrator" (do this to all 3 of them)
5. open the AvP launcher from within the game files once

from then on you should be able to open the game from within steam and without any crashes caused by the game itself

You use files not from guide.

Used the files from that link and followed the guide. Finally I was able to make it past the marine tutorial. Crashes from time to time, but at least I can play haha. Thanks.

as said, using compatibility mode with admin should prevent that, since i had done that, not one crash, finished all campaigns

This only fixes the game for a short period of time. When you relaunch steam a few times the game will crash when killing a Xeno with a pulse rifle. Must be a auto crash DRM feature or something.

The only way this game can be fixed is if someone mods a fix.

i did not have that issue so far, that is either a compatibility issue or something wrong on your part.

Maybe its just time for a new Aliens vs Predator game? I think its the same thing like Hitman: Absolution. It was 100% singleplayer game but after the server shut down, nothing works.

I really like this Aliens vs Predator game, but why not new?
