Can anybody explain to me why i only expierenced one crash of hallo with 1.06 in a year which was probably caused by a boomed server. And now with patch 1.07 i have constant crashes and according to the error report there is an exception in vorbis.dll. This is the case every time halo crashes. It would be nice to pay for a game where the updates don't mess up your game. Sounds a litlle like your average hotfix/update/patch from microsoft "we fix this and we cripple that" to me. And yes, i tried a fresh new install but immediately after installing the patch 1.07 it starts again. every time the "gathering exception" message and ever time there is something going wrong with vorbis.dll.
Does any body have experience with this ?

I wouldn't be surprised if there is something wrong in the sound department there. Have you tried updating your sound card drivers?

hmmm that sucks, though don't blame MS they just told Gearbox to port the game, hmmm maybe they went wrong there :)

yes i agree Gearbox did tons of good things, they didn't even have to make a multiplayer but they did, however i say if you're going to do something you do it right...THE FIRST TIME, we'd all be better off with CE being integrated into Halo PC, lag-less multiplayer, and no more pointless hot-fixes.

Hello everybody, thank you for replying...

But, i tried a reinstall, i have the latest drivers and why should i have to search for new drivers
if there where any new drivers if the game causes the problem. Especially when you keep in mind that halo runs flawless without any patch and it runs flawless with patch 1.06 and lower.
But with patch 1.07 the crashes begin. The patch is the problem and since there is no really good explanation what it does and how it works, i am still dissapointed. Especially when i think of the fact that i can only play online after installing the patch. If anybody would know an idea to force multiplayer without having to install patch 1.07 i would be very very interested. I would be happy to stay with the 1.06 version.

Anyway, thanks for replying...

An dissapointed customer...
