James Cameron's Avatar: The Game
Windows - 2009
Description of James Cameron's Avatar: The Game
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 James Cameron's Avatar: The Game Windows
Keygen for the game showed a lot of warnings on VirusTotal, but it's safe to use. Currently that keygen is the only way to activate the game, since the game installer generates unique hardware ID for each computer.
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)
- 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. 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 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)
- At the end of installation the installer will launch the keygen to activate the game. If your antivirus blocks that process - add it to antivirus exceptions or disable antivirus for few minutes, to install the game
- 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)
How to use keygen for Avatar: The Game:
- 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
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 to 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/Resourcesfolder 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

I wanted to use Windows sandbox to use the keygen but I couldn't get it to work. I tried to activate Windows sandbox on the turn a windows feature on/off menu but it just gave an error that the feature could not be activated currently and searching the error code led to no results. If anyone wants to use the keygen but doesn't want to run it on their own setup you could try sandbox mode but I just couldn't get sandbox mode to turn on. It won't save anything you change/install on it and it basically creates a safe environment to run programs you don't trust. It resets it every time you relaunch it. Hope it works for you it didn't for me.

Because of the critical number of comments (there was almost 600 comments), we deleted over 500 old comments with key requests. If you need to get an activation key - use the keygen, the instruction is in the guide above (add it to antivirus exceptions if Windows is blocking it).
If you cannot figure out how to use the keygen, you can leave the request for activation key after this comment. Don't forget to provide a hardware ID so your Uncle Admin could generate the key for you

Hello, admin. Is the DLC bonus content included here? Since the online services shut down in 2014, there is no way to officially get a hold of the DLC weapons. I'm surprised that no one seems to have archived the DLC.
Are you able to or do you have any plans to upload the DLC packs for this game?

i tried it with 1Core now and still doesnt work (via the cmd command on desktop icon), Directplay is active aswell.
I got Win 11 Pro (64BIT)
Intel I-9-13900KF
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070Ti
32GB RAM
Z790 PG Lightning (ASRock)
The moment i start the game i get the Game Logo in a small window, the prozess is visable for 1-3 seconds in the Task-Manager, than it closes. i tried every compatability possible too. Maybe it just doesnt work with win 11?

Hi, I am very happy that I found this game and managed to install it. However, when I try to start a new game, I get an error message: Save failed.
I've already tried running it on CPU 0 only, but that didn't fix the problem either.
In a comment an admin recommended to search for the save game and check if the save data location is not "read only". I have not found this. Can you explain this to me in more detail?

RG mechanics version 1.2 crashes nonstop, even in the main menu it will crash sometimes. version 1.0 does not crash at all EVER. 60+hrs into the game on version 1.0. This is one of the best PC games i ever played how the hell is this abandoneware?
I highly advise you set mip bias to -1.00 or -0.87 in nvidia profile inspector to sharpen just the textures, negative mipbias however only works nowadays if you also set Antialiasing-transparency supersampling to AA_MODE_REPLAY_ALL and nobody is sure why.

@POOPY MC POOPSTER @JCAMAR0 Okay, I googled maybe there's some problems with game running on Windows 10/11 (it worked fine on my PC though), and found this https://steamcommunity.com/app/33280/discussions/0/3052861637930653188/
Looks like making the game working only on CPU 0 might help. You can do that in 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
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")
Also, check if you're running on DirectX 9 or DirectX 10 mode. If your graphics card doesn't support DirectX 9 (usually it's laptop graphics or Intel graphics cards) - run the game in DirectX 10 mode
I will add this advice in Notes. To everyone - don't forget to check Notes if you have troubles, I added some technical advice about troubleshooting

Tried installing the ElAmigos repack on a Windows 11 machine. activated the key just fine. Tried starting the game in numerous compatibility modes, but the splash screen keeps popping up for a few seconds, then disappearing, then nothing. Any advice?
admin 2023-03-06 1 point
The loading stops at 99,7%? Did you install both patches? And are you running the game in compatibility mode with old Windows? The game was released for Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7, if you're playing on Windows 10 - you need to run the game in compatibility mode with one of that systems.
Also, try to set sound quality to 24 bit, 48000 Hz, it helped some users. Sometimes old games cannot load because of missing sound files, putting sound quality to specific settings might help, check this guide https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/James_Cameron%27s_Avatar:_The_Game#Missing_sound_effects
lemonsoda 2023-01-13 0 point
Works great guys, I was originally skeptical about the keygen but with the well written instructions given here, I was able to trust it.
No problem installing, thanks guys!
Also the repack is updated to version 1.02 so no need to download separate updates!
