This release (1.2.1) seeks to improve performance, while still remaining compatible with the previous 1.2 version. It does that by making changes only in the ms_client.dll. The performance gain is not to be ignored:


If you had version 1.2 previously installed, you can either use the autoupdate utility, or you can download the patch from 1.2 to 1.2.1 here:

AvP2 Masterserver Mod update 1.2 to 1.2.1

or just get the full version here (for those not having 1.2 installed):

AvP2 Masterserver Mod update 1.2 to 1.2.1


Changes in 1.2.1

The new ms_client.dll will also help the master server, by making game server updates more evenly distributed in time; The patch is experimental with the client HOWEVER, patching the dedicated servers to version 1.2.1 is STRONGLY recommended. In the end, having also the dedicated servers patched to version 1.2.1 will ensure an even better experience for all AvP2 players.

It works it's great, yup,.... just hope this auto-crash thing can be solve don the 64-bit side..... why does it do this ?


(Anyway)

hehe

If this works it will be great but right now whenever I try to find a game it just closes the program!

I am on Windows Vista 32 bit

I will be happy as long as I can get it to work eventually but this scares me.

Turn off UAC. Try it again. I'm running vista as well, there's no problems with UAC turned off.

I'm sorry for being a noob at this but what is UAC? the only thing I can think of is the United Aerospace Corporation from Doom but I guess it is something in the game or something else?

User Account Control. It's the annoying thing you see when you try to install programs on vista and it asks if you want to allow or deny. Turn that off. You can find the option in your user account which is accessible via the control panel. It causes lots of havoc with pretty much anything.

That didn't seem to fix it. It keeps closing out when I go to "Find Games" and then a box comes up that says.

"Client MFC Application has stopped working

A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.
Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available"


I have no idea whats going on should I try installing it to a different folder or just wait until they update it?

Wait till we update it...

Ok I'm happy as long as I can play eventually I'm not in any hurry right now.

Greetings!

I just learned of this mod, and it's wonderful news. I'm testing it out for my buddies over at {HR} (what's left of it) and am not having any success. I'm running vista and granting full admin rights and "XP SP2" comapatability to AvP2.exe.

The readme is rather sparse but, from what I can gather from it and other sources, we should be able to browse the master server list using the in-game menus. Is this assumption incorrect? Also of note, using a 3rd-party browser (ala X-Fire, etc.) to launch the game does not resolve the issue (didn't think it would). In either case, the "Checking Game Version" dialogue box scrolls "............" endlessly without connecting to the new master server.

Please advise and thanks for all your hard work thus far.

[EDIT] I resolved the issue. The fix was to run the installer with admin rights.
