There are those who said this day would never come, what are they to say now?

im trying to play halo 2 on high res but its too laggy, is there a way to lower the framerate to like 30 instead of 60? any other tips?

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

Make sure you have Java installed. Run the .JAR file(FPS_Limiter_GUI) in the FPS Limiter folder. It should allow you to search for Halo2.exe and then, click on the "create .BAT" button. The new shortcut should be able to launch Halo 2 at 30 FPS. I have to install Java myself, so get back to me and let me know if this worked please.

You need to set an absolute path to Halo 2. It's usually in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo 2\halo2.exe.

You could download Fraps and run it before you start Halo 2. It will show in a corner what framerate you are getting.
