Client Technical Help
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
Just check these few simple steps below that you've taken to ensure your client's progression. If you have problems and want a fast reply, post a reply in this thread rather than creating a new one.
2. Disable all antivirus and/or firewall before launching game or updates. Check firewall more than once because it may auto restart.
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
AntiVirus: Look at the right bottom corner of your screen. Find your antivirus icon, right click and choose exit or "game mode".
Firewall: Open Windows Firewall by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking Security, and then clicking Windows Firewall. Click Turn Windows Firewall on or off. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
Go to Control Panel>Network Connections and select your local network. Click Properties, then select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). Click Properties. Google DNS Setting: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
5. Virus Problem, use the recommended AntiVirus below. Update your drivers with GameBooster and try GameMode with tweaks. Advanced System Care is to maintain your pc, clean junk files.
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
To update your drivers, tweak your computer settings and optimize/clean your PC. Should you need help using these softwares, please post a reply on this thread.
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
These exact steps are for Windows 7 ONLY
To add a rule in the Windows Firewall for port 80, do the following:
Go to the Control Panel and launch "Windows Firewall" Go to "Advanced Settings" Select "Inbound Rules" in the left pane Select "New Rule" in the right pane In the New Inbound Rule Wizard, select "Port" as Rule Type, then click on "Next" Select "TCP and put "80" (and any other ports you want to open) in "Specific local ports", then click on "Next" Select "Allow the connection", then click on "Next" Select the network location where the rule should apply (select them all if you're not sure), then click on "Next" Give a name and an optional description That should do it.
9. Modify Host File
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
Step.1 Open the hosts file located in the directory below. Windows98 : c:\windows\hosts WindowNT/2000 : c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts Windows XP : c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts W7 & Vista: C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc
Step.2 Right click run as administrator. Select Notepad in the 'Open With' window.
Step.3 Delete all game and GameGuard related lines and save.
It should take a few hours but should be worth your time rather than spending even more hours trying to fix something you don't know how. However, if your autopatching update does not work, then you need to see step 11 below.
11. Manually patching Game File Update and GameGuard if autopatching did not work:
-Current Game Client 125-
How to check your current AVA version: Browse to C:\Program Files\PlayFPS\A.V.A\Version.ini
Important: Make sure you install the correct version in sequence. That means 119 to 120 , then 120 to 121 and so on.
After each patch, let's say 119 to 120. Try starting the game to see if it can autoupdate, if it doesn't again then try the next patch.
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
12. Reformat ? Use Windows Updates And if these steps doesn't help, you might need to reformat your computer, because personally I reformatted mine so that I can play here smoothly. Try contacting the game developer, you might need to send your erl files.
Please post here if you have questions or if you need help. Have a nice day!

Oh Darth what gun should i get ? I only have Fr-f2 for sniping or should i save for new release of guns
PM: MP7 (Best PM gun). Verserk and Kriss is second best or you can go for AKS74U.
RM: M4mk3 (Most reliable rifle man and most used in clan war, easy gun). SG556 is quite good (Crouch+Tap/Burst is basically laser but your moveshot is not as good as when you crouch), better damaged than M4mk3 but M4 is more reliable and m4 ROF makes up for its low damage. FN2000 is noob friendly gun, lots of Thais using it at the moment. HK416 is something similar to m4 but its crosshair bloom is much bigger but still accurate.
Fun RM guns: M14ebr (If you learn to control its recoil and aim headshot, the payoff is huge). SA58para (Not out yet but it is much much better than M14ebr, really high damage and high recoil, is used in Iesf tournament.) Both of these guns can wallbang. G36 is fun and good but you need to head over to IJJI forums to use the Korean mod guide (Beware, you may not like this gun, in IJJI few love it, most hate it).
Sniper: If you're bored of Fr-f2, get TPG (Tag lesser than the rest of the snipers gun). AWM is quite fun but tags alot.
For all new players out there, when you want to buy a gun, choose wisely. And I quote from a clanmate "AVA guns resale value is worse than nokia phones."
Can't wait for them to release this beast:

Can't wait for them to release this beast:
As for my preference, PM: Verserk because can wallbang and the DPS is higher than MP7. MP7 and Kriss are usually the players choice because of the slight recoil and smaller bloom. 3 guns are recommendable, it's up to you. As for shotgun, I prefer using Saiga-12 or Benelli.
RM: I'm using M14EBR for now since Para or Sako is not out yet in A.V.A SEA. I prefer 1 shot kill RM gun. M14EBR has the highest bloom rate after Para, and not to mention the recoil, but once you are used to it, they kill mercilessly! All RM guns can wallbang to certain extent. M4MK3 is usually used by many players including pros because you wouldn't go wrong with the gun because low recoil, small bloom and easy to headshot but with lower dmg than Para, M14EBR etc.
Sniper: Tag rate of snipers are according to this ascending order: TPG1,PGM.338<FR-F2<DSR1,AWM<SV98 Just a few till I have time to write a tl;dr guide on weapons. TPG1 is a wait and kill weapon, suitable for camping. DSR1 is for CQC, it's like now you see me, now you are dead gun. DSR1 doesn't need to shift+shoot, it has quite good moveshot too. FRF2 can also be used in CQC but you must learn how to breakshot, dragshot and etc. Not to mention the 10 ammo upgrade helps in tight situations when you are ganged by more than 4 players.
whoa! ava coming to malaysia already? cant wait! downloading now. very pissed bsc of the high ping at ijji version. IGN at ijji AVA is EagleTalon, will be using the same name in SEA i think.. cya in game!
Thanks Oh Darth what gun should i get ? I only have Fr-f2 for sniping or should i save for new release of guns
Hey there,
Do you know there are about 60 weapons in Ava ? Therefore, many more which aren't released will be. And there will be "Capsule Guns"; specially modified weapons with cool paint. These are rare guns that you need to purchase via capsules, that means by chances, you can use premium cash but still through capsules. So, I'm saving my euros. They are hard to earn, don't waste it. It's not a bad idea to save a bundle of cash just for capsule guns so your chances increases. Common capsule price is 3000 euros.
I actually have more than 1 account, not to hack/farm(there's no possible way) but I use it to test the weapons. Since with the 100k, I use my other accounts to test the weapons before actually buying them on my main. Why did you buy the FrF2 gun ? Doesn't it look a little .. ugly ? haha, well its personally my favourite gun. Good choice I'm prefer 1 shot kill weapons. I use snipers 70% of the time.. So I've found a 1 shot kill pointman, which is shotgun, Saiga12. Other shotguns are remington, Spaz12

Helo, welcome in. Majority Asian players are better than EU and north america. (No offence, but that's what I see after playing Ijji and asia. Anyway the best popular clan is Korean, Astrick. 1st of iesf that happened recently). Hope you enjoy yourself.

@DarthVader71 yea.. american players just likes to QQ whenever they get beaten by others. the only reason US got 1st in iesf last year is bsc the other countries arent allowed to use guns they usually use in serious gaming(e.g. para, veresk, mp7) and had to resort to using m4a1 which they are unfamiliar with.
downloading is slow even with a 1mbps line..
@airGEAR999 saiga is a shotgun with ridiculous range. it can 1hko at short-medium range. the recoil is somewhat little compared to other shotguns but it only have 6 shots per magazine. the cool thing is the reload is fast since you use magazine instead of loading each shells individually. overall, its the best shotgun in ava, only rivaled by the spas-15

but personally, i prefer veresk xD
You sure the info you got is correct? Based on the videos I had between Defkon VS Astrick in last year IeSF, both team used a variety of guns other than M4A1, some were using Sako though. Not to deny in every IeSF there are a few guns that had to be banned because of they are OP plus MMOFPS is a game that test on skills, not weapons. Therefore I don't see weapons as the reason why Astrick lost to Defkon. But I agree American loves to QQ players when they are beaten by others. LOL Some QQ Asian players because of their ping/lag or death more than kills.
yes, there were other guns but the main rifleman gun in that match is the m4a1. most of astrick members are used to using para and other guns which wasnt released in UAVA at the time. so to make things fair for the americans, the guns which are not released in UAVA is banned. to have them suddenly use weapons they are not familiar with on a major competition is although not the main factor, it is a contributing factor to astrick's lost.
now lets see the americans play on ava sea with them lagging and let them experience the difficulty of playing with 260 ping since they kept QQ-ing bout us having an unfair advantage while lagging on their game.
@airGEAR999 lol.. veresk has substantial recoil but it makes it up with awesome cqc performance. if you really cant manage it, try the mp7. they both have almost the same rof. though mp7 has lower damage, it has more penentration power than the veresk which makes both guns almost equal. the main difference between the both is the recoil and ammo count. mp7 has no recoil and 40 ammo per clip

No offense but you should watch the whole IeSF 2010 final match. Some of the players were using Sako which is a RM gun. Plus I just read the IeSF 2010 rules, there were no guns banning or limitations. IMO the players used M4A1 because of their low recoil and small bloom so that they wouldn't make any careless mistakes during the tournament, as slight adjustment of crosshair will cost you a kill and you just wouldn't go wrong with M4A1 in a pro player's hand. FYI too, Para was introduced into UAVA in year 2010 if I'm not mistaken.
But sometimes you couldn't blame the Americans too because everyone wants to compete in a fair playing field. Nobody wants to play in a laggy game. Plus lag is our best friend and worst enemy, it helps us to score a kill and be killed by other players due to slow server reaction.

Pretty sure para wasn't allowed in 2010, if it was allowed, both Defkon and Astrick would use it.
Most of us are familiar with snipers in all FPS games, they are annoying because they can one-shot per kill from afar without confronting the enemy, a kill-stealer, a life-saver for teammates in tight situations and stealthy son of a * =P For those that just immersed in the world of MMOFPS, there are few prerequisite skills to learn to become an excellent sniper. Let me explain briefly for each of them.
Moveshot: A normal moving shot, in another words mean walking while shooting. Jumpshot: Hiding behind a barrier and suddenly jumps to shoot your enemy. Breakshot: While running and suddenly an enemy appears in front of you, quickly press A and D keys simultaneously or Shift key to stop abruptly and shoot the enemy. Crouchshot: Shoot while crouching down. Dragshot: For example your crosshair is in the lower left corner, and then an enemy suddenly popped up in the upper right corner, you drag or move your cursor to the enemy in one swift gesture to kill him. Quick-switch: Once you have fired your shot, you press Q in succession to change back into your sniper to reset the scope or pistol to shoot the incoming enemy. No-Scoped Shot: Shooting without using the scope
Now it’s the time for simple gun reviews and mod recommendations. *These are the recommendations based on my experience in playing the game since closed beta in year 2009 in UAVA and some other inputs from other veteran/pro players in UAVA. I understand each player has their own preference or opinions, but these basic guides are mainly to help and shed some light for those who are new to this game. Constructive criticisms or discussions are welcomed to improve our play styles.*
TPG-1, The Holy Grail of Sniper Pros: Very high damage, one-shot per kill frequently, high accuracy, highest range, very low tag rate (even if you hit the limbs in some cases), suitable for camping Cons: Slower mobility due to the gun’s weight, need to press Shift while shooting, very low stability, extremely poor moveshot, poor jumpshot, slightly slow scoping speed Common Popular Mod: .338 Lapua Barrel and High Percentage Scope = Maximises damage and more magnification in scoping Poor’s Man Mod: .338 Lapua Barrel = It’s the same as common popular mod but without the High Percentage Scope Bulleyes Mod: High Percentage Scope, .338 Lapua Barrel, Accuracy Trigger, Human Engineered Grip, Shock Absorber = Highest accuracy but not much difference between Common Popular Mod and Poor’s Man Mod
FR-F2, The Younger Brother of TPG-1 Pros: High damage, one-shot per kill frequently (FR-F2<TPG-1), tag rate is slightly higher (TPG-1<FR-F2), slightly higher stability, light weight, fast scoping speed, suitable for CQC Cons: Need to press Shift while shooting, poor moveshot, poor jumpshot Everyone Favourite’s Mod: Long Ranged Barrel, Exchangeable Ammo Type = Increases your range to increase your chance of one-shot per kill in longer ranges, 10 ammo at your disposal when you are in a tight situation while facing numerous enemies, less reload Too Poor Mod: No mod at all, can one-shot per kill effectively too at the range of 60-70M Standard Mod: Long Ranged Barrel = Increases the range to kill in longer ranges, who needs extra ammo? *For all 3 mods, I didn’t include the scope options because it’s up to each player preference.* Quick Scope = Suitable for CQC for its one-step fast scope speed Sharpshooter Scope = It’s the same as default scope in FR-F2 and you don’t need to quickswitch each time you shoot, auto reset the scope
DSR-1, Better Than AWM Pros: High damage, one-shot per kill frequently (DSR-1<FR-F2<TPG-1), slightly higher tag rate (TPG-1<FR-F2<DSR-1), excellent moveshot, doesn’t need to press Shift while shooting, good jumpshot, light weight, owned in CQC if you rush a lot, fast scoping speed Cons: Tags considerably if you hit the limbs, 89 accuracy after you mod Only 1 mod for this weapon, just use Long Ranged Barrel. Don’t use Reinforced Barrel because it increases your tag rate. Yeah, the +3 damage is a bluff based on majority of UAVA players and my experience. Other than that, the grips and stocks do nothing but if you have extra Euro to spend, it’s up to you to add them. As for the scopes, Quick Scope noticeably improves the speed for first-step scoping and Sharpshooter Scope increases the magnification plus slight faster speed from the default ones. It's up to you which scope suits you best.
