I have owned Halo PC since November and it has worked fine until I switched from integrated graphics to an ATI x700. Same goes with Halo custom edition. The screen goes from backlight black to off about 3-4 times and then it says that my hardware acceleration may be disabled, I ran dxdiag and everything worked fine. I downloaded DirectX9.0c and it won't work still. Halo PC has only been acting up since I reinstalled Halo PC but Custom Edition didn't work at all after I installed my new video card. Could someone PLEASE help me??

Ok same happened to me when I installed a new card. Drivers are the key. I was never able to get CE working until I put my old card back in. There was an old post in here that gave us a site for Omega Drivers http://www.omegadrivers.net/ the only site for modded ATI and invida drivers I know of. These at least let me play PC. Good luck!

Heyyo,

Me fav site for cutom drivers is http://www.voodoofiles.com/ :)

anywho, if you have service pack 2 (SP2) installed, check this out: http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=454908

if not? then you may need to upgrade your videodrivers, that's unlikely, but ya never know....

I went to that other thread that was provided my ThE-MarD and downloaded the stuff there and it worked but I still haven't tried making CE to work.

Heyyo,

w00t-w00t! good to hear you've got it going now. :)

I suggest trying to upgrade to the latest ATI Catalyst Drivers v5.1 to fix the prob with HaloCE. ATi's driver support has improved quite a bit for the latest videocards for all games, and I'm sure I saw Halo pop in there a few times. ;)
