After 6+ months of Halo2, I decided to see how I was going in the world of HaloPC.

Needless to say, I was owned with a capital P.

But that's not the point.

Everytime a game ends and it rotates to a new map, the whole application goes to hell and freezes. This never happend before, and I haven't made any changed to the settings.

It just leaves me at the screen that says it's loading the map. Forever.

Anyone got a solution? Or will I be stuck with exiting out before it switches map?

Maybe the halo files are corrupted,reinstall halo should fix that.

Also give your systems specs,they could be of use.

crashing during a new map? Sounds like the thing that bungie forgot to check when they released the 1.06 patch.

I have also been experiencing the same problem. I have done everything I can think of to try to correct the problem (ie: fixing broken registry keys, removing unused/bad registry keys, updating drivers, making more room on my pc by removing useless crap, clearing out the recycling bin, deleting temp internet file, reinstalling Halo, completely removing and reinstalling Halo, removing any spyware, using the auto patch update and manual update, etc...) and it still does the same thing. Sometimes I can CTRL/ALT/DELETE out of the frozen map change, but I usually have to reboot my computer. This really sucks...any suggestions? Oh yeah, the text that you normally see during game play is there during the beginning of a game, by a quarter of the way into the game, it all disappears....!

I haven't seen if it works yet, I haven't played in a few days... but here are my specs:

(WinXP)

Aspire RC500
2.40GHz Pentium 4
512 MB RAM
"The Demon" internet connection. (Long story short; I normaly have a 512kbps connection, but I'm on a 56k for the rest of the month.)
and about 60+ Gig of free space.

Not the greatest, but enough to keep me going.

If it freezes when I start to play again, I'll edit the post to tell you. Also, as a sidenote, it doesn't crash only on the new maps. It's also crashed on BG and SW.
