Use my friend's though.
Yay me.

When I play on a custom map on Halo CE, a message appears saying an error occured.
In the server lobby, in the message of the day, it says
"Manual Update Required! Go to http://www.microsoft.com/games/halo/downloads.aspx"
I go to the website, and there's is nothing on there about Halo Custom Edition.
Exactly what do I do to fix this problem?
Halo PC is version 1.08.

Something smells fishy...

Your Halo PC game has v1.08 but not your Halo CE? Is that correct?

If it is then you have to also update Halo CE to v1.08. Both the game you purchased and the unsupported Halo CE have to be updated to 1.08.

I've done that, I've tried the game and it still doesn't work.
I get the same problem as stated before.

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.

It could be the map that's the problem. Try moving it out of the maps folder and using a different map. Some of them only support Slayer, and Halo CE crashes if you try to play CTF on them, as an example.

Also, the Message of the Day in Halo CE is out of date. Ignore it.

It's not only one map, it's all the custom maps I try to play on.

All I ask is that you don't try to capture me.

Have you downloaded the maps to the right place before you try to play them online?

I can't believe I forgot to obtain the maps!
That's the problem, sorry for wasting your time guys.
I just create a folder in the main Halo CE folder called Maps?

There is already a folder called maps. Makes it really hard to organize between custom maps and normal maps. :(

Don't brag about your ability to let go of the past.

Yes Indeed.There is a map folder which you can download custom maps on the folder.If your running Halo on the PC,Close it because you are unable to find the new map you downloaded to your .map folder.I also have a question?How do you become a exalted heroic member or something like that?O_O

Ok you have to have a maps folder. if you didnt halo would crash because the UI would not be able to be loaded because it is a map. so how did you manage that?

I found it. It was seperated from the main game folder.
