Windows Vista has introduced a new feature that stops unwanted programs from starting and executing code on the users machine. However, this breaks a lot of compatibility with other programs.

Turn off UAC and try it again. You can find the option in your user account which is accessible via the control panel.

Unfortunatley, no. The reason for this is because Sierra/Fox/Monolith never released the source code. The "source code" is required to make changes in the game, without it, nothing can be changed.

This is caused either because the server is using a map pack (UMP2 for example), mods, or because your AvP2 game installation was not updated to version 1.0.9.6 before applying the patch. Uninstall the master server patch, apply the official 1.0.9.6 patch, then re-install the master server mod.

Several firewall packages can interfere with the master server patch. Stop these programs, if they are running on your machine:

• AVG Webshield
• Norton Internet Security
• Norton Personal Firewall
  

This is caused by having different rez files specified on the command lines for the game server and the game client. The game client command line is the one visible when double clicking AvP2.exe -> Options. The game server has it's rez files specified in "customrez.txt".

Unfortunately we didn't succeed in building the needed binaries for Linux. Sorry.

For Mac the situation is even worse, since besides the missing tools (compiler) we don't have Macs.

Make sure you run the installer as an administrator.

Yes, it is. Install the Bunny mod, then install the master server mod (and yes, install the dedicated server from the patch). Add the avp2p5.rez to the customrez.txt and you're good to go.

Yes, it is. Do download the latest Rommie server mod that has the patch built in, go to http://rommie.avp2files.com
