I keep getting errors on halo and custom edition
I tried reinstalling it but it doesnt help .




Sometimes when i play halo campaing it just lags alot,
especialy when i see blood or lots of enemys are in my screen,
lighting ( from plasma nades ect ) also makes lag.

How do i fix that ?

Well I don't know about your CE problems, but the latter is from overdoing your graphics. Blood and lots of enemies cause lag on cards, as does lighting, if your resolution is too high. What are your settings and your card.

Oh yeah, the russian card. Hmm, that should run well at 800x600...

Well, reinstall drivers, sometimes they get corrupted, it happened to my 9600XT's once. Otherwise, I'd check if there are any background programs eating up performance.

At this point though, I am pretty clueless as to what is going on...

Heyyo,

Kazaa's junk, get rid of it before your comp gets viruses or fake files. Morpheus is ok, but it does eat away at your cpu. Killing it and anyother big programs will free off a few cycles off your cpu. Open up your taskmanager (ctrl-alt-del) and under progams, sort my memory usage, and see what's sapping it up.

Now, as for blood? how much you talking aboot? just a bit, or are you constantly slapping those dead bodies?

For everything on? hmm, I still say leave specular off cause that thing's rediculous framerate loss is just lame. Mix that with decals and you're screwed.

No,sometimes even in a simple 5 vs 5 firefight.

I reinstalled the vid driver and the FPS now is 41 and that lots of better than the last time ( 28, both on high setting,60 on low settings )

Just run on safemode. That deactivates the blood, lighting, etc. Youll sacrifice a lot, but at least gameplay is smooth.
