i know what you mean darkfox. cuz it's doing the same thing to me, and supposedly everyone else. ever since i downloaded the update, it's been messing up. it's not even funny anymore. in fact, it never wuz. i haven't played a good halo game (good as in hardly any lag) since like a month ago. this really sux. i just want to be able to have a list of servers with no pings in the 800s-1000s. this is RIDICULOUS!!! my internet connection is fine, i took out viruses, i took out spyware, i restarted my computer, i've done EVERYTHING. and now i know it's this stupid halo update. i want to play HALO again. PLZ

Hey, the weird thing is, that while everyone elses games were screwed up by this patch, my multyplayer games are all running smoother and the Single Player is also faster. THis may have something to do with the fact that I downloaded the newest graphics card drivers (BETA) from nvidias website. It fixed my game up and the Single PLayer is now better (yes, better!) than Halo XBox!

Halo 1.06 is seriously messing up my Halo.

When I start the game, I get a message: Please insert disk. The disk IS in the drive, and nothing I do will make it get past this, any help?

What the hell is going on?!? I install Halo PC on my new computer today, equiped with an ATI Radeon X800 XT card only to find that it isn't compatible. After searching, I updated the game and it worked. I played some online, but later it just stopped finding games. Now it lags for a second or two when trying to get back. Forgive me if this has been covered, but it's just pissing me off.

Yea, I didn''t see any servers at all. But I did have a filter on for anything 100+. Why couldn't they make the plugin backwards compatable, because I assume we allhave to wait for the servers to dl the new update. Boooooo!

I take that back. I just tried to search for servers with all of my filters off, and I still don't get anything. What is going on?

I found the Halo again in my pile of games. I wanned to play it again, but then I couldn't get the server list downloaded and it said that I have to mannually update the game, ok, fine with me. But now I still cant get the freak'n server list downloaded. I dunno if this is related to the patch, but when I used to play it, it worked. And now it doesnt.

There I was, 5 am reinstalling for the billionth time, and I say to myself, SELF, 1.06 is a security patch SO I went to the explorer security settings and set the security setting for the internet to medium low, and low and behold started the game downloaded the patch and connected immediatly to the game spy servers. DUH. Now I'm not sure if this will help everyone BUT from reading the threds it seems as though most of the problems were the same. GOOD LUCK.

I just installed the 1.5 update for the mac (which is equivalent to 1.06 on the PC) and everything is all messed up. players look all retarded on the screen and my weapons have weird spikey things sticking out of them. Who has the scoop on this?

Dude.... Most people Are running At 4 fps thanks to the morons at Gearbox.... Do us a favor and find some other company to port H2 (if) so that way we can play it at something better then 640x480 with everything off :D

Heyyo,

Ok, I found out where most of my crashes happen, when I try to type text after dying or killing someone, so I'm guessing it has something to do with your name appearing on the list.

I tried uninstalling the msxmenu.msi stuff and then my text all dissappeared, so I tried installing it without sp2, but my text still diddn't appear, so I guess you need sp2 for msxmenu.msi so I reinstalled that, and my crashes are back...

I noticed that the ATI Radeon Catalyst v4.6 drivers and up seem to lower my framerate in halo REALLY badly, so everyone onna ATI Radeon 9600 Series vidcard stay on v4.5.

I'm gonna redo my windows xp today, cause I'm sick of how messed up it is, and I want it to preform its best at an upcoming lanparty...

How do I know if I have ATI Catalyst 5.1? I think I might have it cuz when I tried to download it asked me if I wanted to replace that file.

Heyyo,

Right-clik on your desktop, go properties > display > advanced > ati options or something that says ati catalyst version. If it says v5.1 then you've got hte right one, if not? then you probably named your downloaded drivers wrong and are just replacing old downloaded drivers, so just get the latest ones, if it wants to replace let it, then install it.
