James Cameron's Avatar: The Game

Windows - 2009

Description from the publisher:

James Cameron's Avatar: The Game is the official videogame based on the highly anticipated film James Cameron's Avatar. The videogame takes you deep into the heart of Pandora, an alien planet that is beyond imagination. You will encounter the Na'vi, Pandora's indigenous people and discover other life forms the likes of which have never been seen in the world of video games before. When conflict erupts between the RDA Corporation, a space-faring consortium in search of valuable resources, and the Na'vi, you will find yourself thrust into a fight for the heart of a planet and the fate of a civilization.

How to Play

After years of annoying keygen use, the community has found a working DRM free patcher! Click here to watch how to set it up.

The game with patches has been tested on Windows 7 64-bit, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10, works with no problem. The game supports widescreen and ultra-high resolutions up to 4k

Install & play guide (for ISO version of original DVD)

  • Mount the disc image. You will need the utility for mounting disc image files, like WinCDEmu, UltraISO, Alcohol 52%/Alcohol 120% or Daemon Tools Lite
  • Install the game
  • Also it is recommended to install DirectX from the disc (if you're using Windows 10 - enable DirectPlay, read this or this guide how to do it)
  • After you installed the game install both patches (first 1.01, then 1.02)
  • Download the DRM free patcher, extract it and copy the folder and files to the game directory. Run setup.bat (Windows) or setup_linux.sh (Linux) and you are done - you may delete the patcher files now. (The root directory is where the bin and Data_Win32 folders are)
  • Open the directory with the game (/James Cameron's AVATAR - THE GAME/bin/) and find Avatar.exe. Right click on Avatar.exe - Properties - Compatibility - Set "Run this app in compatibility mode with Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7" and "Run as administrator"
  • Launch the game.
  • If the game doesn't work - try to launch the game in compatibility mode with different versions of Windows (98, 2000, XP, Vista, Win7)

Install & play guide (for repacks)

  • Simply mount the .ISO file with the utility for mounting disc image files, like WinCDEmu, UltraISO, Alcohol 52%/Alcohol 102% or Daemon Tools Lite
  • As alternative - extract the files from .ISO and launch Setup.exe
  • Install the game (both repacks are patched to the version 1.02)
  • Download the DRM free patcher, extract it and copy the folder and files to the game directory. Run setup.bat (Windows) or setup_linux.sh (Linux) and you are done - you may delete the patcher files now. (The root directory is where the bin and Data_Win32 folders are)
  • Open the directory with the game (/James Cameron's AVATAR - THE GAME/bin/) and find Avatar.exe. Right click on Avatar.exe - Properties - Compatibility - Set "Run this app in compatibility mode with Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7" and "Run as administrator"
  • Launch the game and play. If the game doesn't work - try to launch the game in compatibility mode with different versions of Windows (98, 2000, XP, Vista, Win7)

Notes

  • The game doesn't require original disc for the launch, but it need to be activated at first launch. Use keygen to activate the game. Keygen showed a lot of warnings on VirusTotal but it's safe to use, most antiviruses doesn't like keygens and mark it as a threat
  • Rip-version was created by Archive.org user LividBunny, please check user's notes here. If the Rip-version asks for activation - use keygen
  • The game has DirectX 9 and DirectX 10 modes. If your graphics card doesn't support DirectX 9 (some laptop graphics and Intel graphics cards doesn't support DirectX 9) - run the game in DirectX 10 mode
  • If the game doesn't run after you launched it - try to run the game only on CPU 0, it might help. You can do that by two methods:
  1. Create new shortcut on the desktop. In the location, type: cmd.exe /c start "AVATAR" /affinity 1 "C:/Program Files (x86)/Ubisoft/James Cameron's AVATAR - THE GAME/bin/Avatar.exe" . If you installed the game in non-default folder - type the path to the game folder. Check this thread for more details
  2. Other method - launch the game, open Task Manager (Ctrl+Alt+Del), find Avatar.exe, click on it with right mouse button - Set affinity - disable all cores excepet "CPU 0" (leave only "CPU 0")
  • If you have "black square" bug when black squares starts to appear on the screen - it happens when you run the game in DirectX 10 mode with HDR and bloom enabled. You need to disable bloom, or select DirectX 9 mode. Check this link for more details

  • If you have problem with missing sound effects or disappearing sound - set sound quality to 24 bit, 48000 Hz. Read this guide how to do that

  • By default the game doesn't have setting for FOV (field of view), but you can edit FOV with Cheat Engine, check this thread for instruction

  • The game may cause epileptic symptoms due to the aglomerate of colours/colors and visual effects. If you're feeling nauseous or have headaches during the game, better stop playing

  • The game installs files for all available languages but it will be launched only in selected language. But you can launch the game in anothe language by editing "AvatarInit.ini" in /James Cameron's AVATAR - THE GAME/bin/ folder. Open "AvatarInit.ini" with Notepad and change to desired language by writing after "language=" (in example, it should look like: "language=english" for English, "language=french" for French, etc.).
    Open /James Cameron's AVATAR - THE GAME/bin/Resources folder to see what language files you have

  • For users of Windows 64-bit systems: if the game doesn't work after you launched it - open Task Manager (Ctrl+Alt+Del by default) and check for processes Avatar.exe and rundll32.exe. Close Avatar.exe but don't touch rundll32.exe (it's a Windows app for running old apps from 32-bit operational systems, most old games running through rundll32.exe). Now try to launch the game again, it must work. Don't forget to close rundll32.exe process in Task Manager after finishing playing

  • Don't forget to check PCGamingWiki page if you have troubles

How to use keygen for Avatar: The Game

  • The keygen is not needed anymore, but you may still use it to pass the DRM
  • Keygen for the game showed a lot of warnings on VirusTotal, but it's safe to use. That keygen used to be the only way to activate the game, since the game installer generates unique hardware ID for each computer.
  • During the first launch you will see the activation window. Select "Manual" activation, you will see "Hardware ID". Open keygen, copy "Hardware ID" to Keygen and click "Generate", you will get the activation key. Now copy that activation key and enter it in the game's activation window. Activate the game, then it will launch automatically. You need to do that only one time, after that you can delete the keygen
  • If your antivirus blocks the keygen file - add Keygen.exe to antivirus exception list, here's the guide how to add the file in Windows Defender exceptions for Windows 10/11

The game doesn't show any options for anti aliasing. It just shows "none".
Did this on DirectX9 and DirectX10.
Is there a way to configure this in the files, if I can't do it in-game?
