Its interesting that I had been running 1.07 for some time with no problem. Then, about 3 weeks ago, I installed a bunch of MS-security patches and my problems (with Halo for PC *only*) have been difficult since.
1. I lost chat information until I reinstalled the MSXML install kit as indicated in the microsoft support knowledge base .
2. I now experience *SEVERE* lag almost all the time.
a. I've tried upgrading, downgrading my ATI Radeon 9600XT drivers
b. I've tried running with *no* MS services
c. I've tried upgrading DirectX to 9.0c
d. I have many many times tested my cable modem through put and am getting as good as, if not better bandwidth.
e. I've tried futzing with *all* of the video settings from the ATI driver level as well as within the Halo Settings for video, sound, etc.
I know this is client-side only, but I'm really wondering what is going on and would desperately like some help!
I'm about to punt on the whole thing and chuck Halo PC....is *this* what MS is really trying to get us to do? Buy an Xbox?
Sounds like a crazy conspiracy theory, but...
Help!
