Do you have the Halo patch for Vista? Other than that, i can't see what's wrong.

  • 11.13.2007 5:44 PM PDT

was it required to be downloaded? if not then probably not.

  • 11.13.2007 5:47 PM PDT

Yes it is, it fixes some compatibility issues, heres the link.

  • 11.13.2007 5:52 PM PDT

im not running custom edition. just the regular halo.

  • 11.13.2007 5:54 PM PDT

Wait, sorry wrong link. I see the problem, it's in your graphics card, you're running a 32mb T&L nvidia card. Halo won't run on a 32mb card, you need a new video card.

32MB actual graphics card, not a inbuilt intergrated graphics card. You only have '128 mb' because it's sort of taking it from your ram. This making the transfer a lot slower than an actual graphics card. And so, Halo (and all other games for that matter) run slower than it should. Ge-Force 6150 LE is intergrated, is it not?
It seems as if you just bought your computer straight from somewhere such as Future Shop. They're defualt is a Ge Force 6150 LE.

Solution - Go buy a graphics card. Otherwise, quite good of a computer.

Yeah, you're right Program Log. And you may want to take a look at the 7 series from nvidea or their low-end 8'ers if it's cost that concerns you.

The servers are full, you have a dial up connection or your internet is otherwise unstable, or you haven't downloaded the Halo PC hotfix.

The bungie.net community is the halo PC community that is renowned for being unbelieveably sucky.

Do you have a legit copy or did you download the game?

I think you mean, illegally downloaded the game. Because there are D2D sites...

Game is good but if you live in the north east go to Grainger Games in Newcastle, much cheaper there
