Unprecedented demand for Aliens vs Predator following the release of the cross-platform demo yesterday morning brought to light matchmaking issues resulting in players having to wait to join games, or even not find games at all.

We’re pleased to say later in the day the issue was corrected and a small patch to the PC executable next time you launch it from Steam will have you finding and playing games using Quick Match as it was intended.

While this issue did not affect the Xbox 360, we are with SEGA’s assistance investigating reports of a similar nature on the PlayStation 3 and working flat out on a solution.

The full game features the ability to browse for and create games but for the purposes of simplicity the demo was limited to matchmaking, alongside the ability to set up groups with friends which mitigated yesterday’s issues for many.

We’re really sorry that this issue tainted a day in which we saw many people get hands on with AvP for the first time and we’re hugely gratified by the positive feedback to the game.

Patch released for PC fixed the problem where you had to wait long time to start a match. They apologized to all people that had this issue but its fixed now, so lets not blame them.
Lots of people were disappointed by the demo version but its quite a hard to under heavy pressure of the fans. And lets hope original version will be more pleasing for all people that do not prefer this demo version.

I've got another problem.When I try to launch the game it doesn't start but Steam - Update News pop up that have the ad that says to pre-order AvP to get the 3 skins.
What's going on?????

[Death From Above]

I bet the the final product will be much better.
And all the people who complains about the game itself can piss of cuz its just a demo
Don't judge a game when you've only played the demo

[Alien blip]

unfortunately the idea of a demo is so you can make a judgement on a game - you can still can get games but you need to group up into a large squad

i got a problem .. the game launches in steam but when i click on start game it gets stuck.. it doesnt search for servers.. need help here

[Disaster100x]

Great that they fixed the matchmaking. I wait for a game for an average of 20 seconds now, which is good. The demo is really great though I just wish there were a bit more modes but it's a demo. I'm still satisfied Rebellion, bring it on!

[Skyplant]

Its still not working on Ps3 :(

[Ultimate_Predator]

It is working on ps3. I had a game last night and a few games earlier today.

The purpose of a demo is to showcase the game so that fans can decide if it is worth buying. Not sure if I agree with your logic here which seems to say the opposite.

[Pred Killer]

Good.
