The purpose is to ensure your pc is tip top condition as in online first person shooters, no matter how good your skill is, you will falter if you have lags/warping connection. Milliseconds count.
Gamebooster 3 http://www.iobit.com/gamebooster.html Use tweaks to optimize + Download and install your latest drivers @Tools. The difference are stupendous on driver update. "Configure" your settings before starting game boost. You can tick on most of the suggestions except explorer.exe . Once you've logged in to website, a launcher will pop up. Before you click start game on the launcher, click "Start Boost" on Gamebooster, then only Start Game. Click "Restore" after you've exited A.V.A.
Ccleaner http://www.piriform.com/CCLEANER I've never used this, but its popular for keeping your pc well maintained. Defragment and clean your registry/junk files.

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. Credits to: chiakinakamura(ijji forums)
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!

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
QUOTE(Huntsman @ Oct 17 2011, 05:51 PM)
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!
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.
Thailand is 1 hour slower than malaysia in timezone. Anyway the update is over.
My pc recently had some driver issues, im reformating it to windows XP from win7 ult. complete revert and will boost it before CBT Malaysia starts. Just updated the main page with patch update + review links. Haven't been ingame for 3 days ahaha.
Edit: I'm thinking of a clan name now, if you have any suggestions, pm me, i have the logo already heh. and do you want our clan to be competitive or just social/fun clan.. i dont mind the latter , in fact is a good idea but if you want competitive then its not so much for everyone, only some players but we can still do training for clan wars stuffz... it should be fun and that you try your best, that should be the spirit of the game, putting too much on just winning becomes stressful and you dont enjoy it..
benefits of clan are would be better tips+inside news, invite to friendly games and meeting fellow malaysians from here for gameplay requirements are simply that you communicate well + in english and you have a good nature on having fun aha.

Andrewtho: maybe its firewall/antivirus. Try disabling them. i always use game mode and all antivirus quitted. im using Ad-Aware(free antivirus), editors choice in pcmag
I've formatted my pc to windows XP twice, but somehow it's slow. i havent updated the drivers though but im resorting to windows 7 32bit
mine before was 64.. 64 is better for RAm but that is if you have about 4GB ram at least. im having only 2 now and 64 bit actually eats more. 32bit will work just fine as i've read.
but tonight i'll be busy, tomorrow CBT starts at 11a.m but i'll be home around 2pm++ yet i have to configure my pc.. from then to evening im free, so probably i'll be ingame.
im sorry im still a little confuse on who's who ingame, so i'll get everyone's forum name + ingame name and make it a list. haha.
im also wondering if we can log into Malaysia's server using the same playid created with Thai. or.. we log in through the site with Thai but ingame we switch to Malaysian server... ...
whereas Facebook is all similar.. kinda wasted dont u think, we should use facebook to log in.. i've worked so hard with my current account, would be a despair to start from scratch as I've done that a few times in Ijji and here after the CBT thai wipe...
the only one i've used is ventrilo but based on your recommendation, teamspeak will do. i havent seen valerius' videos yet.. will do later or tomorrow.. i remember seeing a frag video about 1 killing 8 person in demolition, that's better than frag cutscenes.. and im wondering, did anyone here see the Demolition India Max Settings video ? looks splendid..
Asiasoft Online announces the upcoming launch of Alliance of Valiant Arms SEA (AVASEA), the latest free-to-play MMOFPS in 2011, brought to Southeast Asian players by PlayFPS.
Hopefully you can resolve your PC problems and meet you in-game tmr. Couldn't wait to check my ping in MY server. I'm wondering too if we could log into MY server using Thai PlayID, but logging into Thai server and then change into MY server, definitely can be done, tried it just now. Guess I will just pass the CBT of MY server, lazy to create a new char and start all over again, plus not a fan of those free CBT weapons. TeamSpeak is better compared to others, and if you need help in setting the program, just PM me. Frag cutscenes are like child's play to me because they fast forwarded a lot and cut all those boring bits. Prefer a mix of gameplay and frags videos. Yeah, watched the video, stunning and beautiful.
Thanks mate, I'm doing it now. Just updated the page on new download links from official page. I haven't gone ingame yet, about to reformat my pc to win7ult 32bit. im lazy to start all over again too.. i have all the snipers ribbon and don't want to waste exp + time for my account, or rank.. i left ijji with 2 sergeant accounts, one having a tpg and the other walther sniper.. so ive started from scratch a few times.. eventhough the walther isn't skyhigh for pro's, its quite sentimental to me.. lol, tempted to buy it for ijji memory sake,
i dont really fancy the kar98k as most of us have better snipers already. its cool in a way here bcuz we sorta get bonuses/events both from malaysia and thai servers lol..whereas the first 2 guns, yeah i got that.. not bad guns, good to keep.. capsule guns usually have a 1 hit kill in lockdown.
and honestly.. 10 days for cbt, i doubt they'll get the sniper lol.. cuz my cbt in thai, i didnt even get the sniper tho i was playing quite regularly and that was 1 month lol.. i'll get teamspeak ready in due time.
QUOTE(andrewtho @ Oct 21 2011, 01:23 AM)
Hmm turned off my antivirus. But it's moving slightly, halfway and now it seems stuck. lol
im not a developer but i guess only hope is to reinstall everything. there are new download links on the first page, its from their website.. if all hope is gone, maybe i can upload my updated version in zip files.
QUOTE(PoPoBear @ Oct 21 2011, 12:59 PM)
Tested both still same.
if you'll notice on the first page, Only Internet Explorer to log in. you need the activeX install too
This post has been edited by DarthVader71: Oct 21 2011, 03:22 PM
hmm.. so it still doesn't work ? i just reformatted pc, doing fine now though had some difficulties. im donwloading latest graphics driver now. going to try update ava in a moment. 1.01 to 1.02
EDIT: okay, yeah i get the problem too. I'm using ava from thai. now the update 1.01 to 1.02 says doesn't have ava installed.
Huh? I thought they released it already? Or is there any different links for different version? I downloaded the game through http://bayou.asiasoftsea.com/ava/AVA_Setup.zip But still couldn't patch also.
on the link i gave, download the game guard patch, try that. rewrite the folder. check the link.
i just disabled my windows firewall n turn off antivirus but idk whats this
3. Network setting on wifi /router/LAN block port 80 that may cause blockage patch from CDN?
EDIT: I just checked my program files, the playfps file is less than 1mb. something went wrong during installation.
This post has been edited by DarthVader71: Oct 21 2011, 05:38 PM
so only andrewtho and i arent in, after a horde of problems.. well i did get a lot, not entirely on the game, i had so many pc issues.. that i got so irritated with and no idea what to blame.. connection down, installation down, control panel down, USB wireless down, shutdown taking forever.. it was endless.. now im downloading full client.. since the ava that i have can't install properly..
goin at 570+kbps, so quite pleased with that.. but then again, at night im outside.. probably i'll enter ingame after a week late at night..
Edit: Can someone update on the ping, hows the condition of the server ? i just got news, tomorrow morning to afternoon no electric here.. lol ...
This post has been edited by DarthVader71: Oct 21 2011, 07:20 PM
Im getting about 7x ~ 13x ping my internet connection not that good >.>
sorry to hear, try to use that gamebooster 3.. also i found these softwares, theyre free. Im currently using auslogics boostspeed, it is helpful but its not free. here are the links
It loads faster after clicking on 'Start Game' too. Thanks for the help guys.
ah glad it worked. it did for me, i installed the Full Client... im pleased with the low ping though low number of players but it feels fresh and smooth.. usually i get 1 ping but sometimes 30 to 40.. in thai lowest i get is 30.. usually 40 to 60 - its nice to use my sniper again finally ingame after 7 days haha..
An hour and 30 minutes to finishing yoooooooo. Can't wait to play.
so u managed to go ingame ? hows it ?
QUOTE(andrewtho @ Oct 22 2011, 09:29 AM)
Played 2 games last night and my ping was around 50 with unifi, quite stable. But I cannot help but notice why my radio command is in Thai? Lol.
My IGN is : xAmbrosia
isnt 50 still kinda high ? i had 1 ping lol.. which is great.. and didnt u choose english at the beginning of the game ? im trying to fix sound driver problems now, windows says it is fully updated, but actually something is not.. its some spdif thing when i should use the playback to "Speakers" .. doesnt exist.. getting it from realtek now.. been playing with no sound all yesterday lol...
QUOTE(Tomokitsu @ Oct 22 2011, 11:35 AM)
Add me guys (Google)
looks like i need to make a list of player's name here
EDIT: I spent hours trying to fix the sound driver.. downloaded so many, even the correct one but said error, not found.. finally worked with windows update .. lol.. thank God for that.. phew .. now suddenly server disconnect
Some server maintenance.. to 7pm ... this morning, no electricity to noon, tenaga nasional fixing something. then noon for hours fixing sound driver.. finally done, now server closed... ....
Edit: server maintenance has been extended to 7:30 pm. i wonder what happened ...
This post has been edited by DarthVader71: Oct 22 2011, 06:30 PM
Andrewtho: after the patch we can no longer enter thai server to my disappointment as i have a number of good friends i've made over there.. and theyre good players, now without them our clan would be small and i would prefer creating something original. after playing ingame.. my verdict is. its a bad idea separating thai
the problem now are foreign players who played in thai but now blocked perhaps, their ping is about 250 - 300 - 700 in msia. and me being 1 ping is quite a turn back of getting killed easier while they warp around the map .. as a player, this is highly irritating. they should create some ping limits and voting for the opposite, not your own team..
thai and msia are close, some parts of thai are same timezone removing them now decreases player count. rooms are scarce. singaporean players reported having 200+ ping as well.
This post has been edited by DarthVader71: Oct 23 2011, 12:25 AM
What happened >.> i keep stuck at connecting to game cannot enter any game =( even reinstalled >.> Oh and also i cannot stay inside a room for few minutes it will give me an error connection to host lost
sorry to hear, well just a moment ago i had my ping went up to 400 when mine is usually always below 30. Then host disconnect. I think its a number of players connecting from vietnam and indonesia, sad they can't connect to thai like us too. so it might not be your fault but the server's.. i wonder how can we tunnel to the server.
the server names msia/sg are currently inverted lol.
QUOTE(andrewtho @ Oct 23 2011, 01:10 AM)
Couldn't agree more. The number of MY/SG players are pretty little. I saw only 2 rooms available @ warzone 1 around 1am last night, in SA 1am = server almost max capacity. lol.
SA has a very strong fan base and low requirements. when i was playing, even with 1 ping and opponent 1 ping, i find them warping lol. in sniper map as they jump across the screen. after with that, foreign players from south east asia create a large ping imbalance, 1 to 30 to 80 to 500 - 700 lol.. because also the server has to connect so far..
im mainly a sniper user. i guess there's nothing much you can do about these warping stuff.. but to majority rifle users isn't a problem, you're just spraying by reflex instinct.
sniper is a 1 hit thing, you miss 1 or 2 times, u die. i have all the sniper ribbons and other awards, skill point but ping/warp from all over is inevitable.. so i guess i have to use the rifle more..
rank and ping imbalance. msia and sg should focus just around here, get the cyber cafes running..

Finally in == IGN Whit3Fox but very less player How to earn euro? what is supply point ha?
hey there welcome in. Supply point earns euros. when you reach 100% u get 6000$. so earning cash is very hard. spend wisely.
gameguard problem ?

i see. thanks. your ign is on the list right? I'll add you later
lol, i thought i added you already ?? xAmbrosia right, no my name is not on the list. and i dont know if the command actually works, especially if the user is offline.. would be cool to meet up later for prison break escape, i havent tried it since released. sad, wanted to play it with some of my thai friends..
theyre good friends bcuz sometime my escort team is too newbie, i just pm them i need help. they come and we win lol.. so i help them sometimes too, in demo or w/e .. i hope playfps will consider breaking the limit again..
im afraid it could be server issues too, hope it works out for them
hey darth i managed to enter the game but with ping like maintaining 7x when using the new id to test out some gun
Oh noooooooooo there goes again again switching my id
lol, what is your new id ? i'll add you later.

@Darth: Is it? Lol didn't realize. My bad.
Hmm I should create another character, bought the wrong gun.
lol what gun did you buy ? i have about 4 accounts, 1 created yesterday, registered with Msia.. lol ... xD and i still have 2 ijji accounts, im considering installing them again bcuz of zombie mode infection. one i have tpg, i didnt really like it. my 2nd is walther sniper, yeah miss that gun.. was a faithful companion
This post has been edited by DarthVader71: Oct 23 2011, 01:24 PM
I bought M4A1. Didn't like it. Should be buying the FR-F2 since you've reviewed it as fast scope TPG scope too slow.
ohh haha. I have the m4a1, it is a good beginners gun but surprisingly I find I like the free M16 gun more, and its easier to kill than m4a1. i dont think it was me that reviewed the frf2 but personally its my favourite gun its wise to invest in a sniper since rifle and pointman are pretty good basic weapons already. Once you collected enough then you can buy your 2nd weapon.
currently i have the 2 free WW2 guns, pointman n rifle. then Frf2, m4a1, saiga 12 .. i have enough cash for other weapons but i'll just wait and see, when/what's released.
