    The SEGA Europe Blog confirms that a patch for the PC edition of Aliens vs Predator is on the way that they expect to be released on Monday.
    General:
    - Stability improvements to address rare and infrequent hangs
    - Implemented a workaround for missing audio issues with certain hardware (SoundBlaster X-Fi, Realtek onboard, etc.)
    - Fixed save games being lost or corrupted if connection to Steam is lost or if user switches to offline play

    Multiplayer:
    - Fixed XP being incorrectly affected by offline play (though only in the local stats; this will be corrected next time you connect to multiplayer)
    - Fixed other players sometimes appearing to have the wrong weapon or continuing to fire indefinitely after dying
    - Fixed rare issue where players would be temporarily invisible
    - Fixed some selection of servers and players in menus sometimes being incorrect

      As promised by SEGA, the PC Patch #2 for Alien Vs Predator is now available via Steam. As usual, the updates will be applied automatically when your Steam client is restarted.

      In addition to the PC Patch, Rebellion have now released their dedicated server beta software, allowing PC gamers to choose how they want to play and giving them control over some of the game's settings:
      The dedicated server will be available via the “tools” tab of the Steam client. If you already have a copy of the full game installed, it will simply add the dedicated server executable to the install folder. If you do not have the full game installed, it will need to download approximately 15GB of data.

      One install is required per machine, and multiple instances of the server executable can be run simultaneously – the server currently requires the Steam client to be running, only one steam client/log on is required per machine regardless of the amount of instances you run, and the Steam account used to log on does not need to own a copy of the full game. Please refer to the dedicated server readme for more information and help, in particular the known issues section. A server command guide is also available in the installation folder.
