• Right click and go to "properties" then "compatibility"
  
• 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)
  
• 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

Rebellion's Asura engine may automatically set monitor refresh rate to 60 Hz; this can result in reduced smoothness on a high refresh rate monitor even if GPU render shows a high FPS count.
If Vsync limits refresh rate to 60 fps on a high refresh rate monitor, this is a sign this issue is occurring.

This game support 60 FPS (Default) and 120+ FPS.

There are solutions to the problem.

• After starting the game (mission or multiplayer match), press Left Alt + Enter to switch to windowed mode, and then Left Alt + Enter again to switch to fullscreen mode. This should solve the problem.
  
  
• Set the "-subwindow" parameter in Launch Options:
  In your Steam library click Right mouse on "Aliens vs. Predator" game > "Properties" > General. In Launch Options you need write -subwindow.
  This parameter launch your game already in windowed mode.
  Setup your resolution in game in 1280x720. Its give you issue with mouse in main menu, so you must navigate in game menu using arrows on keyboard. Once launch game click Left Alt + Enter for switch game in fullscreen mode. This should solve the problem with frame losses.
  
  
• Disable fullscreen optimizations

  2. Right-Click AvP_DX11.exe and click on Properties.
  3. In the AvP_DX11.exe Properties window, click on the Compatibility tab.

Most of modification files are often in the .en format.

The extension .en of the modded files means the game has to be on English or the

How to Mod AvP by TheUnbeholden

You can use two mods to disable the interface. With the interface disabled, you can take beautiful screenshots or videos and share them with your friends.

If you are an expert in multiplayer, it can give you a new gaming experience:

• The Marine will no longer have a visual motion sensor. You will only hear sounds. Listen to the footsteps, recognize the location of the enemies yourself.
  
• Marine has no ammunition display, lifebar or any other information on screen. Your screen is clear.
  
• There is no display (outline) of enemies when viewed through the scope of a sniper rifle.
  
• Wall browsing (Sniper glitch) no longer works.
  
• There is no longer a skull icon above the enemy that is persecuting you. You need to find and defeat the enemy in a fair fight.
  
• All weapons in the game are no longer highlighted. It is necessary to remember the places where they lie.
  
• There is no longer a crosshair that will determine the xenomorph's position on the walls.

Viewing information about the kills in the game is available only via the in-game console [~] (tilda button), [TAB] for game statistics, and reading the chat only when chat is open.

Known mistakes, but no one has fixed them yet: There is no display of allies. When playing the MSTDM match, you will have to recognize who is an ally and who is an enemy on your own.
