Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

There is a better solution that crapping your framerate for mouse lag which would be increasing the USB polling rate, it worked for me. follow the directions here: http://www.overclock3d.net/forums/showthread.php?t=8561

This didn't fix mouse lag or sensitivity for me. In fact, it made the sensitivity lower but still inconsistent without VSYNC.

Hey will this be able to run Halo 2 at 1680x1050 at MEDIUM with 2xAA? If no how about 1440x900?

I'm having a problem with H2Vista multiplayer. When I try to connect to a server it always gives me the same message: We're experiencing some problems. Sorry about that.

What should I do to get the multiplayer working?

Rude sarcasm doesn't get a thread stickied just FYI, but actually putting in some effort and PMing a mod does.

What if you can't get any games up in your multiplayer lobby? Halo:CE works just fine, but Halo 2 won;t show anything, and neither does FEAR or CoD4.

I'm having severe framerate issues even in smaller resolutions (around 600-800, I''m at work atm and dont have the exact numbers).

My gfx is pretty bad, a 8600 GS 512 mb dedicated, since I'm usually never playing on the computer. It could however run crysis in much higher resolutions, with AA off, than Halo 2 so it doesnt make sense that Halo 2 Vista isnt running smoothly. I have 3 GB Ram and a 6600 quadcore. Since I've never been a computer gamer I wouldnt know where to start in the OP post. So, help.

I'm never running any other programs while playing Halo 2 vista by the way so if something is interfering it's one of those background processes.

Get Marathon Here
Get Marathon 2 and Infinity Here

I have a Halo 1 on Vista issue: I installed Halo 1 on Vista Ultimate 32bit and patched to 1.08, all is grand in single player, but when I try multiplayer I get a "can not contact gamespy master server" error. I've made sure that Halo is not blocked by Windows Firewall, is there a network setting I've overlooked in the in-game options menu?

I can play multiplayer fine on a XP Pro machine on the same network, so I'm pretty sure it's something to do with the Vista machine.

WOW,your post is a mouthful,I did read your complaints and try minimizing the paragraphs because no one is going to read that,some people do but some just skim.Some comments like this for example:"You Just Wasted 15 minutes of my life reading that stupid post,get a life."
Well many people in the Halo 1 & 2 Forums might post it but they want to be rude to you.Most of the long posts or comments will even make you speechless.

PLEASE NOTE:
I am not trying to offend anyone in this Topic or the user who created the topic.

I did all the things that may have fixed but nothing worked. When I launch Halo 2, I get this error saying "Installation failed. Either insuffificant systems resources were found to run the game or the game maybe be missing or damaged. Re-installing Halo 2 may fix the problem." Re-installed it 3 times but still nothing.

E: Apparently Bungie has nothing to do with Halo 2 Vista so that's why no stats are uploaded. If you want stats to Bungie.net you'll just have to play it on xbox.
