What can I do to help the frame rate in Halo 2 for Windows Vista? (Other than get a better computer). Right now, it's playable, but seems jerky.

I wish I could give you an actual number for the frame rate it gets right now, but I'm not sure how to check that.

Anyway, I've set the resolution and detail to their minimums, anti-aliasing is off. Are there any other settings that can help me get the game to play smother? Sorry if this has been asked before...

Thanks!

To get an actual frame rate, download FRAPS. It will tell you your frame rate at any given time.

Try lowering your resolution or decreasing the Texture Quality or Anti-Aliasing

Thank you. My frame rate was jumping all over the place between 25 and 45, which I know sucks.

But, I was able to use the tool, mentioned here: http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=28856611

With that, I was able to forcibly cap the frame rate at 30 fps, which did the trick.
