Aaaw. My disc is scratched beyond repair and I already uninstalled the legendary game. Keeps on getting stuck on 88%, installing the greatest ending of the game. Oh well enjoy 1.08 without me...

Great work, and thanks for the time you put into this. I'm sure the rest of the diehard HPC players appreciate it greatly too.

You mentioned bug fixes in your post. Were those the previously listed exploits, or were there any other bug fixes too (such as perhaps the classic game freeze during a map switch)?

Also, will the 1.06 users be made to patch too? I know there was an issue with the 1.06 patching, and many users have never made the switch since in many cases they weren't prompted to. Thankfully though the 1.07 client was backwards compatible with 1.06.

Thanks. :)

No new bug fixes since last week's eval fix.

If I remember correctly, I'll have to set it so users of 1.05 don't get prompted for this patch; they'll have to download the 1.05 -> 1.051 mini-patch and update from tehre. I don't remember the details, but I still have the files around if I need to report them for anyone.

But they won't be able to play on new servers until they patch.

Also the AR is actually good in CQB now and no longer a glorified baseball bat.

Thanks for keeping this game alive. Every once in a while I pop in the disc and play a couple of games. I will probably play more because i wont have to look for the disc every time. See you guys in the game.

My Halo Custom Edition isn't updating properly. It starts and then gets to strings.dll where it stops responding and asks me to make a error report. This is making me sad face :(

Thanks sawnose you and the rest of the community rocks! Makes me proud to log into this game every now and again. Halo Pc was one of my first games to get behind with it's online play. Here's to the next 5 years.

Try rebooting. Strings might be in use by an old instance of the game

Badge Man
Bungie.net

So does this mean when I start Halo: Combat Evolved (PC) and or Halo: Custom Edition I will recieve a message saying that a new update is ready for download?

This is unheard of as far as support goes. Most companies/communities would have abandoned this by now. Thanks for being different!

Till all are one!

I just bought a new copy like 5 days ago, hopefully I can get in on this without any trouble. Anything I should worry about?

search the disc on the internet;)
just use your original key and it will all work fine including mp as long as you don't use no cd cracks and stuff just run the update and than update to 1.08 update so you don't need the cd:)

i could send you an link of an halo cd but i don't think its legal on this forums...
so i am sorry but you gotta find it yourself

That's the number of bans in this thread. Next time you want to derail something, go stand in front of a train.

Time to update it...thanks for a new update to fix those bugs.

I guess you've had different experiences from me them since HPC has been one of the worst, if not the worst, supported games I've ever played. It was pretty much abandoned at patch 1.02 (which I think was the release of the dedicated server).

Just when I was on my 4th disk (my little brother keeps braking them), it's a relief now having not to worry. And how do you get an image on the website? [Image Removed] doesn't work here.

Cool it does, but it gets removed...

i've been waiting for this possible update for years. thank you so much!
one problem though, i am running Halo on Mac. any news or updates on that?
thanks

  • 08.07.2008 5:14 AM PDT

Removing the disc check is great, its a unneeded feature that all PC games can do without. As long as you have the correct Key, the disc should be unneeded.

Still supporting a game 5 years old shows your dedication, keep it up!

Thanks... Now I'll be stuck playing Halo PC for the next few weeks, nw I won't get any homework done XD. Also, it is very nice to see that Bungie is still supporting the Halo PC community!

EDIT: :( :( :( I recently stopped going on these forums for about a week as I had absolutely craploads of homework.. And now, all of a sudden , my Heroic Member status has been revoked... :(
