Alright I finally got my hands on a copy of H2V last night. I noticed major FPS lag while I was playing single and multiplayer. My computer is very capable of running this game sense it has 2G of Ram, a 64 bit processor and an Nvidia 7950GT. I can play Oblivion on high resolution with no lag.

What are some things I could do to improve my FPS?

My guess, nothing, your computer is fine, just the game is having problems, probably why there was a possible recall

That's a kickass spec. H2v is the problem, not your PC.

umm, question, how'd you get it? I called Gamestop today to see if my reserved copy of halo 2 vista was in, and they told me it got puched back until the 31st, and i went onto gamestop.com to check it out and it said that pre-orders ship on the 31st...

he either got it from walmart, or circuit city (who pulled a walmart), both stores got it out early, (they probably never check their mail so they didnt see the recall)

It's only been out two days. I'm sure that there are bugs that even Hired Gun didn't find. This is why patches/updates are released for games, to fix bugs and improve overall performance.

One question for everyone saying the game is lagging: Are you trying to run it at the highest possible resolution? Because it may be your graphics card being overly strained that's causing the lag, and not the network connection.

Also, if Halo 2 Vista works the same way Halo PC does where you have to manually give what your internet connection type is, make sure you've adjusted it correctly. If you haven't, when MM looks to see who has the best internet connection, it may pass over yours because it sees it as dail-up when it might not be.

Yeah try not to run it on the highest resolution possible, I have a 7600GT, AMD 64 bit processor, and 2 gigs of ram. I can run the game on medium, in 1024 by 768 resolution, no AA, and get almost no lag in singleplayer (except when in really huge firefights), and I've yet to experience any type of lag in multiplayer.

  • 05.23.2007 5:16 PM PDT

What it is.

I have 2GB, a 4000+ 64-bit AMD CPU, and a 7900GT. I know i can easily run this game max...i am also noticing some frame rate lag...I sure how nvidia releases some new drivers and HG releases some good patches.

*Face palm because reading above, I was right and you were wrong. ;)

Also, I have no idea what Vista capable is meant to mean. Some crappy marketing ploy I suppose. You need Vista.

You need to buy windows vista... That sticker means your computer will run windows vista (not sure whether it will run good or bad on your computer though).
