Which game is this one? The only Xbox original game I can find from the Alien vs. Predator franchise is _Aliens Versus Predator: Extinction_ (Released in 2003 - differs from the title screen shown above). Is this a port of the original Windows PC game, which it can't be. Perhaps it was emulated over the Xbox system?

Marine character is having an issue to go in-game as of https://github.com/Cxbx-Reloaded/Cxbx-Reloaded/commit/6f5016a. Even before HLE v2 database was merged is causing the issue anyway.

Also, if we do not press start soon as load screen is done. It will crash after press start button.

Edit: When using marine character option, it crash at line 284 in PushBuffer. Link: https://github.com/Cxbx-Reloaded/Cxbx-Reloaded/blob/eb818bd8698fc2db9d56401bd8291f1ad21f7b0b/src/CxbxKrnl/EmuD3D8/PushBuffer.cpp#L284 .

Unless you choose a different character then abort and choose marine, it works fine? Might be homebrew issue?

This game doesn't boot on the last version of the emulator. I compiled from source the last commit and the error is:

This game doesn't boot on the last version of the emulator.

Finding the last working build and/or commit that caused this regression would be much appreciated. If you're familiar with git, git bisect is useful for this.

I think the last version that this game works is 79ceba87 (26 November 2017)

The changes made on Properly implement D3DDevice_GetDisplayFieldStatus - 5c7a9f4a gives these errors

No problem Luke, only testing take your time. It is not important :)

Unable to reproduce: I'm able to browse the menus and even get ingame

Strange i was not able to start the game on this build, maybe i have a different game than yours. I only was able to start it on the builds prior that the one i posted earlier.
