Updates to Aliens vs. Predator have been released. The updates will be applied automatically when your Steam client is restarted. The major changes include:

Game Client

New Features:


In multiplayer damage from the Predator's Smart Disc has been reduced, unless it's a headshot.

In multiplayer minor hits from the Predator's Plasma Caster bolts will no longer knock down enemies.

When joining a dedicated server on which a round is in-progress you now have a limited time to choose your species/team and skin before entering the game, if the game mode and server settings allow this.


Bug Fixes:

Fixed clients not always being correctly notified that the game had ended.

Improvements to the networking code used in dedicated server games to increase stability and reduce pings.

DX11 optimisation when using tessellation

Fixed DX11 gamma controls on NVIDIA boards

Return to the server browsing screen instead of top-level menu when you fail to join a server

Fixed the lobby timer not always displaying correctly on clients.

Improved 'SayTeam' console command

Improvements to ranked matchmaking

Fixed occasional problems with peer-to-peer games after playing on a dedicated server

Fixed rare multiplayer bug where all players would be disconnected during level load if just one of them had a network problem during the load.

Fixed a cause of clients sometimes getting disconnected when pressing ALT+TAB or ALT+ENTER on the end-game scoreboard.

Fixed predators being able to cancel other players& Plasma Caster Lock-on.

Dedicated server

New Features:

Dedicated server no longer needs the Steam client to be running.

Dedicated server can use DLC maps.

New console/config file commands for dedicated server for friendly fire, team balancing and species balancing options.

New console command to set a Message of the Day

When joining a dedicated server on which a round is in-progress you now have a limited time to choose your species/team and skin before entering the game, if the game mode and server settings allow this.

The dedicated server now installs to a standalone directory, and the install size is now ~2.2GB instead of 15GB

Improved feedback and output for various console commands

Improved server console output when players disconnect

Improved server console output when there are problems starting the server

Additional server console output about the Steam connection

The dedicated server will now also be available via the HLDSupdate tool. Please note that while we believe there should be no problems as both the Steam Client version and the HLDSupdate version are identical, we cannot test the HLDSupdate version without making it available to everybody. Server administrators are advised to install and use the HLDSupdate version using their discretion.


Bug Fixes:

Prevent "Adding Master Server" console output looking corrupted.

Fixed team selection not working for the first map hosted on a dedicated server

Made the ban list file have the servers port number appended so multiple instances on the same hardware are independent

Improvements to the networking code used in dedicated server games to increase stability and reduce pings.

Fixed cause of clients thinking the host had disconnected at the end of a game which actually ended normally.

Fixed predators being able to cancel other players Plasma Caster Lock-on.

Fixed an issue where dedicated servers left idle for an extended period of time would result in the first match played having the clients "running around without their bodies attached".

Setting the Autostarttime to "0" now correctly turns this feature off, rather than attempting to instantly start the match upon players returning to the lobby and kicking all the clients.

Bring a whole new dimension to the action and excitement of Aliens vs. Predator with four all-new online maps.

Two new Multiplayer maps for six different online modes:

Docks: Horror comes from the deep at Weyland-Yutani’s abandoned dockyard.
Outpost: Reclaimed by BG-386’s voracious jungle plant life, this is the perfect hunting ground for all manner of wildlife.
Two new Survivor maps in which up to four Marines battle to stay alive against increasing swarms of Aliens:

Hive: Deep in the heart of Freya’s Prospect lies the Xenomorph Hive. Beware all who enter here.
Machine: Will you brave the Refinery? The lights may be on, but nobody’s home... Yet.
