This patch is actually quite disappointing... it doesn't fix or include anything noteworthy. I hardly even call this a patch.

Fan made CD bypasses have been on the Internet for years now and still no countermeasure to aimbots... after 5 years?

WHEN, will the mac upgrade be available. Come on guys, sorry, I really think you guys should have considered this before the patch was done. Could we make it quick PLEASE. At least make a patch that allows them get access to the servers even if it does not actually fix anything.

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

For filmmakers, all apps for PC or CE don't seem to work, but alldev does work, so you still have camera mode.

That was one of the most intense page up presses I've had. I was like, if I get an exception... my youtube days are over. I'm glad I'm still in business.

*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.


What are you on about? Leading is the same. Good riddance to the botters, for now :)

Not sure if anybody else has this, but it seems that a memory address reference (or whatever) needs to be updated for 1.08.

I've tried on two machines and get the same error upon exiting the game on both:

I thought that looked like an address in the Halo CE range (been a long time since, so maybe I'm wrong), but anyway, there we go.

Well so far all good for me.....but it was really funny when we started to see a lot of players quiting on the game ...trying come bck then quiting again, until we found out by asking one of them what was going on...he said "My game its giving me an Gathering exception error when i try to load my Aimbot or Sight Jaker"....now that was really funny and i like the idea they wont work anymore.

Does anyone else have the same error? I am really hoping the Aimbots wont work in the game with the new patch. I installed 2 different ones about an hour ago and got the error when i try to use it.

Terribly disappointing :(

Mac users just got the game taken away. No patch for Mac yet. Been playing with no CD for the last 2 years... even though I've bought two copies of the game.

Thanks but no thanks.

I know my nickname is absolutely stupid. Consider it a sin of my youth...

Oh guys, that pisses me off...I can't connect to any server! Everytime I try to connect to one a message pops up "Unable to join the game server". What does that mean? I didn't change anything...

Hm, could it be, that this error is caused by joining to game servers with custom maps?
I've noted, that there are no servers listed with the original maps....

Just wanted to say thanks for the update. Very cool that after all these years someone still wanted to take the time to fix some things. Love the "no CD required" feature.

I'm kind of surprised how many Mac users there are out there. Our group of about 30 guys has 6 or 7 Mac users (who are anxiously awaiting the fix for their machines). They are unable to play at the moment, of course, so I'm putting in my vote for an expedited Mac patch.

Sawnose, thanks for passing on to your contact in the Mac world that there are a bunch of Mac users patiently waiting. We appreciate all you have done and are doing.

For the people mentioning the FOV 'hack'. Widescreen isn't technically supported for the game as it is some years old. If you do play Halo on WS you end up with a very very zoomed in screen where you literally cannot see much of the playing field. These programs are very useful for zooming back out and allowing you to actually play and see.

Also, the one made by Dave & Shaun (Racer_S & bitterbanana) does still work as i was using it last night (on the .... 30-odd servers that actually wanted to update) :p

I love sandwhiches!

Destineer (MacSoft) have posted this on their Halo Mac support page:


Important note regarding latest PC update

The latest 1.0.8 PC Halo update broke cross-platform networking. We are aware of this issue and are actively working on an update. We do not have a projected release date, but keep an eye on this page for updates.

same problem here windows vista 64 bit home premium

btw: at my computer and those from my friends every time when you try to get list you only get like 60 servers and my updated server isn't even in the list...

ow and can there be an update for the decals/slow fps and vista, and maybe the nvidia fix? i don't think much people are playing at an geforche 3 atm...(and if they do they should put resolution lower and quality)

btw can you tell us which files to edit to fix widescreen text message problems?
cause i could try to change it but idk which files and what to change(the height stuff? i guess its in pixels)

So far, for me, it isn't working. I just downloaded a new one, I hope it works.

It still won't work! I'm fine playing halo without FOV modifier on my older PC that has a non-wide screen monitor, but that PC only has Intel-integrated graphics.

But on my PC with the wide screen, it feels like I'm playing on 40-50 FOV.

Can you tell me where you got yours?

Looks at the PP and AR in here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uH3qFI8DJBQ
That's what I want my FOV.

Now look at my low FOV:
http://img253.imageshack.us/img253/8486/assult2vu2.jpg (It is slightly higher in this pic than it is in game, about 5-10 FOV higher)
Imagine playing halo at 40-50 FOV, it's not fun.

What I want, is FOV like this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8olp0hoVYw&feature=relate d
OR
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58QEqCo2whY&feature=relate d
Like that.

I HATE having to play halo at what seems to be about 45-50 FOV. And as soon as my FOV hack is activated,it gives me an exception, or does nothing.

Edit: After holding down the * key in halo 1, I got it to work, after about 15 exceptions, BUT, not matter what I do, it WILL NOT change in Halo:custom edition (this is the one I mostly Play)

Ok, after giving it time things are workin a bit better. The lead is back to normal. ( I played when all the servers were switchin, so that was why there was lag )

I really hope that bot is not released... This weekend was great, playing in servers were you knew people didnt bot.

Well it was nice to play with people that dont bot for atleast alittle while. Honestly lots of people must bot, most of the people in the servers this weekend sucked..

It's not an anti-aimbot patch, moron.

Anyway, good luck selling your bot; I hope you realize that after the first purchase everyone's going to get it for free.

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

Well so far all aimbots released before the patch are not working with it...so i guess it could be an anti-aimbot after all. Everyone i know who has one get an Gathering exception data when they try to use it and the game closes on us.

Regular mods are unaffected as far as we can see...all our mods are intact no problem there....but SJ and aimbots are not working...so we can celebrate for a now that all those noobs who use bots to play cant lol.....now they need to show their skills...oh wait...they don't have any :)
