Recently, I've gotten tired of Halo 2 and have really gotten back into Halo PC and Halo PC Custom Edition. I'm running into one BIG problem though: THERE ARE HARDLY ANY SERVERS! On Bungie's Halo PC page, ( http://www.bungie.net/Games/HaloPC/ ) it says that there are a couple thousand people playing, but when I log on, I can only find a couple servers, and they only have 10-16 people on them. What's up?

Currently, I'm running Halo PC version 1.00.05.0610 I am aware that there is a manual update for version 1.06, but I've been afraid to install it because of all the problems I heard it's caused for people. Could this be the problem? If I install the update, will I suddenly be able to see a list with many servers like I used to? PLEASE HELP!! Thanks.

Well...
HPC typically has a couple thousand players on at a time, and the servers have a maximum capacity of 16 people. Therefore, you will only really find 10-16 people on a server. Check your filters too.

HCE has needed a slight jumpstart (such as MacSoft porting it...) for a while now, but it typically has a good number of people playing at a time too.

The difficulty is probably that you haven't installed the patch. The other servers that run the newer patch will not show up unless you install it. And once again, check your filters.
