I just bought HALO PC, which works normally until the third campaign level - Truth and Reconciliation, at which point it freezes, forcing me to shut off computer and re-boot. The error messages all relate to my video card or its driver, but I think my driver is up-to-date. Note that the game works fine in the first two levels, but only when I begin a firefight near the stationary guns in level III does it stop.

I have loaded the 1.06.612 HALO patch sucessfully, and I have played with the video settings to improve the performance on the first two levels. I have also attempted to play thru the third level on the lowest quailty video settings w/o success. Is this problem typical? what can I do? is the CD/install defective?

The PC runs on 1.4 GHz, 256MB, 32M Radeon Mobility 9000 (0x4c66) -
not a great video configuration but it should be adequate. It handles Battlefield 1942, for example.

Try loading without the patch,or uninstall and reinstall(this should clear any software problems) Or buy a new gfx card. Halo is supposed to work with a 32MB card but not always.

Heyyo,

Err... by mobility, that means it's onna laptop... so he probably would need to get a whole new laptop cause video's intergrated on laptops insept for that 'state-of-the-art' alienware one... that one takes any videocard that fits. :)

Well, I dunno if the game actually supports the mobile radeon lineup.... letme check. Well, the radeon mobility series seems to be supported. To make sure you have the latest drivers, go to http://www.ati.com and download the latest drivers... which should be catalyst v4.12
