Aliens vs. Predator: DX11 Hardware not found issue

[newconroer]

Well, I cannot agree that it's 64 bit as the culprit. I've yet to crash once using DX9 executable, but have crashed multiple times whenever the game attempts to move to the next mission or at the end of a cinematic under DX11 executable.

This happens whether in Vista or Win7, and on this system and another one with a 5870.

It could very well be that under 64bit, the DX11 executable is hosed, making them both at fault to some degree.

Whether this same 'bug' causes the 5870 to not detect DX11 features, we'll have to see.

i wonder if its the same old 2GB address space limit?

see this thread, use the tools to test how much ram the games using, and see if its LAA

hey mussels why dont you have someone in the us buy it and gift it to you? will it let you get it early or still not, im in south korea and its apparently not aavailble over here so i had my wife buy it in the states on steam and gift it for me thats how i got it, the only thing that pisses me off is when a alien explodes on you and instantly kills you, that does not make me happy

Have you tried running the game as an admin?

 

[human_error]

I have this problem pop-up every so often (5 or 6 times since i got the game on the us release day). It just wont run in dx11 mode - my fix is to run steam in admin mode, verify the game cache (always finds 1 file that needs replacing) and to then restart steam - that normally fixes the dx11 issue for me (on win7 64 and using the 10.2 drivers).

As for other dx11 issues and 64 bit oses i've noticed there are serious issues needing patching - my system has gone from 40% ram usage to 88% just running the game, which seems a little extreme for an FPS. I also get stuttering in-game when the level loads, serious ping issues (no other game i have gets pings over 240 even in p2p matchmaking - i'm lucky if i'm under 400ping in this game and that's to other UK people (and yes i have flushed my dns cache and checked my router settings). I also get the crossfire bug in the menus where if the steam community layer pops up any messages or is opened when it closes i get serious flickering in the menu until the 3d game level loads - this is as the contrast on one gpu is changed for the steam community pop-up but when it goes the contrast doesn't change back to the default for the menu - so 1 gpu is at original contrast levels and the other is higher - causing flickering every other frame, which is really nausiating.

Other than those issues though the game runs great and looks brilliant in dx11, although the AA only works on some objects and not on foliage or some parts of tesselated aliens due to the reflactions and shading on the bodies (AA isn't effective on them, even at max settings).

Oh, and anyone with a dx10 card should run the dx11 executable - this enables dx10 features in-game (obviously not the dx11 ones, but it's better than dx9 mode). Rebellion should have made it clearer that the dx11 exe runs in dx10 OR dx11 depending on what hardware's available.

I've updated to the ATI 10.2 HOTFIX, installed the latest DirectX February 2010, and even installed the patch that fixes the issue in DXDIAG and the game still kicks me out right after the starting video is over. This game is buggy, period!

i get the same problem - its even BSOD'd on me a few times.

DX9 mode runs just fine however, so i'm not too concerned.

hey...go to google type in ati 9.12 hotfixes. those fixed the kicking me out of game issue. they seem to be working for alot of people

DX9, DX10, DX11 doesn't matter which mode i play the game in, does the same thing over and over again with these new drivers (10.2 HOTFIX) at least. Before i had the regular ATI CCC 10.2 suite installed and i would get kicked out when i get in the game with AvP DX11 executable, but with the regular AvP executable i would actually get into the game and it would not kick me to desktop after the video, but would get CRAZY ARTIFACTS everywhere in that beginning map, HAHA. I'll try the 9.12 HotFix, thanks...

 

[Dyno]

Nope nothing, the same issue with 9.12 HOTFIX. I'm just going to uninstall the game, i give up.

 

[Grnfinger]

just installed it and having no problems with DX9 play,
64bit OS and 9.12 drivers, hope to try DX11 this week

 

[von kain]
