So...erm...it's Friday, and still no auto update. :'(

I installed the patch and for some reason there are no servers at all. I checked the firewall and such and nothing was blocking it. The day before I had gotten the patch, the severs were coming up. I can be able to join servers through the xfire but not in the game. What is the problem with that?

Sweet. It didn't automatically update me so I manually came here and installed it, but I found that most servers had already updated.

This is good news for my Custom Edition clan because we're notorious for losing our CDs...

Well, I just got it. I don't really like it.

It first, won't let me use my shader restoration pack, no big deal.

But also, it won't let me use bitterbanna's FOV hack! I'm REALLY uncomfortable without playing at 90+ FOV, is there any way in he game to make FOV 95?

When I go to MicrosoftGames/Halo, it says that haloded is version 1.07 still. Is this normal? My MicrosoftGames/HaloCE (Halo Custom Edition) says that haloceded is 1.08.

Try manually updating? That's what I had to do to get BOTH to 1.08.

And since i can't use bitterbanna's FOV hack, is there a way to change halo 1's Field of view to 90-99? I'm REALLY uncomfortable at playing at the lower FOVs, it's just hard for me to.

AUTO UPDATE IS LIVE!

Vista users have to run your halo.exe as administrator or you get an error message...

Sightjacker no longer works under 1.08. Now I'm going to feel like I'm driving without my seatbelt fastened.

Most of the PC issues posted here are the result of PEBKAC.

MS should just release the source already. They're not doing anything with it anyway.

thank god i'm really hoping they fixed the aimbot thing
stupid bots

Does anybody know any programs that can change halo's FOV other than bitterbanna's FOV hack and Yelo trainer?

Are you running any apps for Halo when you get this problem? If so then this could cause Halo to freeze/exception since most previously existing halo programs won't work with 1.08

The distance clipper and all dev tools are still functional w/ CE. I have yet to try some other ones.

What's distance clipper?

And does anyone know anything other than bitterbanna's and yelo FOV hack? And any way for me to force the halo shader restoration pack?

I need to run as admin to upgrade, BUT if I run as admin the shader pack won't work, then after upgrading I can't re-apply unless I go back to 1.0, THEN patch to 108..I see no way around it :/

Hey Roger!! Thanks for your helping us Halo1 addicts!! Since this is the last auto-update..can we remove the searching for updates?? Is there a way to manually do that??

Thanks [CV]§T££L

thanks very much for updating this game and a huge thanks also for removing the cd requirement. I got spoiled by H2V and not having to insert the disc lol.

*sigh* Well dont go thinking that we dont appreciate this, but many of us dont use the cd anyway. Also I am guessing the memory was recoded(Just a guess) Good thing bots dont work (for the moment) Sightjacker dosnt work, FOV changers dont work. The worst part is the lead. What you just did was make everyone noobs again, We will have to learn to shoot all over again. I have been in many different servers today and all i have heard is complaints. " I would rather play with botters than not be able to shoot " Is one of the many Things I have heard, You didnt help us halo lovers out you just made us want to not even bother learning how to shoot again. If yuo made a complaint thread somewhere I am sure you will see it is not just me. What we want is the old version back, Thank you.

I don't know if anyone else is getting this problem, but my sound just became way off-balanced (too much of the hog noise; the sound you get when your bullets come in contact w/ someone completely disappeared, etc.) after installing the patch. Yes, I've tried changing the audio settings, but no luck. Can anyone help please?

So I guess this means that until someone releases a patch the covers the original Mac version and the Universal Binary Mac version, all Mac users will not be able to play Halo on any of the updated servers, right? Who would we look to to get such a patch created, or are we all gonna be out of luck?




I've been in contact with the right person to make this happen.


How long will we have to wait? There are a lot of Mac users that are screwed right now.

Could you guys have thought about this BEFORE releasing this update?

Honestly guys... Sawnose rewrites all this code after months of everyone whining (myself included) about various issues and all you guys can do is whine about how your 3rd party programs have gone out the window...

First, if you're gonna whine about those programs not working... whine to the guys who developed these programs to update them or go back to the previous version of Halo. Bungie doesn't make these things and honestly for most the complaints like FoV hacks they shouldn't need to. In the past I've seen people use FoV hacks to gain an unfair advantage such as putting it in 3rd person to sneak a peek behind walls or whatever. So really you shouldn't waste your breath here about it as its a 3rd party cheat from what I've seen and bungie never developed it.

The game was designed to play as a first person shooter and anything else is a mod. Personally I'd like to have sightjacker back to catch bots but I'm not gonna bark at someone who worked hard to try and fix server crash issues and offer a no-cd fix. I won't even bark about anti-aimbot code because the people who program these bots will just reprogram them after being nagged at by botters.

So thanks Sawnose for this latest update and hopefully these issues will iron themselves out overtime. =)

Subject: noCD

I've been playing w/ out my CD for a while now. Just use a virtual drive, mount the image, and you're good to go. My CD is scratch-free, sitting in it's case. It's only been spun a few times, when I've had to reinstall. I guess this patch will save me a few mouse clicks, though! ;)

Notice I said that it is appreciated, I dont care really about all the 3rd party software, but there is lag and warp problems now. We are gratefull dont get me wrong, but If its between a disc in the drive and playing a lag free game of halo.. Then I go with the lag free.
