Andrea from Matrox sends along a patch to fix Aliens versus Predator 1.03 on Matrox G400 series cards. To work, the 1.03 patch must first be installed (local copy). Here's the poop:

Attached is a new g400 patch for the Fox Interactive Game Alien Versus Predator. To use this patch, you must download the Game Patch 1 that has been released by Fox Interactive (http://www.matrox.com/mga/drivers/patch_demos/patches.htm). The attached file (g400_avp_fix.zip) is a Millennium G400 Series game patch.

The install process for these two files is as follows:

• install the retail version of Alien Versus Predator
• install the avp098.exe (available at http://www.matrox.com/mga/drivers/patch_demos/patches.htm)
• unzip the g400_avp_fix.zip file
• replace the original avp.exe file with the new avp.exe file from the list of unzipped files
