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.

After adventures in talking to MS support, I was informed that the latest update for LIVE fixes the crash bug in Xlive.DLL. So we should be okay for now. I was able to pull up the server list and join a game with no problem. Can anyone else confirm this? I know ihtesam posted about this before, but I wasn't sure.

Why does everyone hate Halo 2? Maybe its because its the worst game ever next to mario.

Yes I can confirm this. My H2V has not crashed since the update and I was able to join Custom Games and play.
I believe that you can still use some hacks however.

If the cheats still work, it isn't going to fix anything. Statistically think about this: very few people play H2v, so each and every cheater is a large percentage of the total # of players. That is very bad. H2v community is so small, you would see these cheaters all the time. Plus, just like what happened to Halo PC, the cheats spread and more and more people use them.

50 in H2/H3? Great, but you still fail at this.

Where can I get the update from? I havent gotten a h2v update yet.

There was only a LIVE update. No Halo 2 update.

Phoned again, took some notes on the actions of the tech support guy. I know this isn't a blog, but it seems important to add this.
Used Easy Assist to give desktop control to tech.

Tech tried to run FPS Limiter as admin. Did not understand command-line programs.

Went to bungie.net looking for H2V updates. Also went to halo.bungie.org. Finally downloaded patch 1.03 for HALO ONE. Insisted it was a patch for Halo 2. When I keyed up H2V official site, he deined that it was the right page.

Did auto-update for HALO CE instead of H2V.

Unbelievable. In the end he gave up and "escalated" my case. Again. Maybe it's time to give up.

That's because LIVE was the problem.



Since the update, I haven't crashed once and my browser jumps straight into games.

I called again because the server list still doesn't populate for me.

I can use the server browser and custom games.

Have you played Halo PC lately? its almost cheat free with the new 1.8 patch (think the numbers right) aslong as you use a dedicated server it will be fine.

Thanks, Jacob.

I'm off to install H2V on LINUX. ROFL. After reading a forum post by a Gamespot staffer that he got it running, I just have to try this out.

Good luck getting it to work, hopefully it should work with the unoffical XP Patch.
