Im Killing Loneliness...

I installed the Halo Trial, but have some video card issues (I believe). Whenever I load up the game and get to the menu screen the game starts to act wierd. The game screen starts to flicker up and down mash up the menu selections, it does this during gameplay single player and/or multiplayer. I looked thru these forums (up to page 15) clicking any topic that had "Help" and such but no luck. I looked in the Microsoft support page and that didnt help. I hope these picture can show what im talking about.

Yeah. That's right. I don't have a 50 in H3. I never got Onyx in Reach. If a game sucks too much, I won't even bother trying for such trivial "accolades". Besides, I've done way more things that take far more skill and talent than anything that can be done in a video game.

Even if Halo would start on that computer, it would run like absolute crap.

And your video card is unsupported. Get a new one and you might be good to go.

You can run games with that?

Trust me, you've got bigger problems than Transform&Lighting.

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

Your onboard video may be a problem. Try adding the "-useFF" extension to your Halo.exe target path. Also, check for new video drivers...

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo\halo.exe" -useff

O!

DusK -
Well I guess ill wait till I get a better video card before trying to play Halo again.

Sergeant Pepper -
Yes, it can actually play games. I was surprised too, but I only play games that dont require alot. The only games I have installed on my PC right now are The Sims Superstar, The Movies, Medieval - Total War, Stronghold, Maplestory, Gunbound, and Fly For Fun. ^_^

I tried that but couldnt figure it out, thanks though. I checked for video card updates and downloaded one but it stayed the same.

Well thanks guys ^_^
