Sorry about the other post, I think I posted in the wrong thread ;)
I loaded Halo Combat Evolved (single player) twice before with no
problems with all the bells and whistles going full blast and not one
screen hic-up.
Everything on my system is the same, but I have DirectX 9.0c
(instead of the "b" version that comes with the game) and the latest
N-vidia drivers ( WinXP unified)...Oh yeah and SP2 (which seems to be the problem?
Halo locked up, crashed, and now lags at about 1 movement every 3
to 5 seconds.
I've done everything I can find listed on all the FAQ's and
forums....Removing and reinstalling, downloading the updates and
installing them in the order listed (up to halopc106, changing game
settings, even changing my system video settings. For some unknown reason
Halo will not play like it did the 1st two times.
Other then the crashing and locking up on the load, Halo actually
played the 1 time I did get it to load (at all the top settings), but
then locked up at quit/ shutdown and never loaded after that one time.
After playing around with the video settings, I can actually get it to play great about once out of about 6 system boots....(And we all know how we love to keep booting our PC's over and over again just to play a game.)
I found some cheat codes with a game speed setting, but for some
reason the cheats refuse to work (tells me "cheats cannot be enabled
at this time").
Never have figured out the diff between the Custom Edition "CE" and the Combat Evolved "CE" Both are Halo CE aren't they?
Whats going on? Is Halo unplayable now SP2 is out or the newer
drivers won't work with it? Help !!! ;-)
Any ideas?
All this time and Bungie still doesn't have a patch that works?
Thanks...
