I've got one problem with this patch, I'm an admin in a frequently used Server on Halo PC, it's a racing server, and I rely a lot of SightJacker to find players who aren't actually racing.

With this new Patch, I am unable to find any SightJacker that works, is there any way for me to revert back to 1.08 so I can use it?

Can I have a list of updates for this Patch?

For example, Patch 1.08 has the following updates:
* Prevents buffer overrun errors and also removes the requirement for a CD rom at startup.
* Fixes for server-crashing security bugs.
* Several external programs may not work, resulting to game-crashing.


I agree! Microsoft Games Studios used to put out a release with the issues addressed in the patches. It would be great to have this continued for historical purposes.

Tested the patch. It works perfectly on my 6gb Vista 64 computer and on my 1gb Windows XP Computer. No problems with IE. Thanks for caring about us (if that is what you are acting out of).

I am slightly disappointed that this breaks the links between halo and some of the 3rd party programs I use, but that will hopefully be fixed in time. Its too bad bungie gave up on Halo 1. From my perspective, it seems to be the best out of all the halo games, and has proven itself so. Why is it that bungie can't see this fact?

Awell. To those of you complaining about the netcode: halo has so many errors, 1 man can't fix them all. Sawnose has already said this.

I would like to thank you for the game from a different minority of halo players who like to exploit the games flawed physics engine for fun. The stunters/glitchers of halo are happy to have this game to play in. And your interest, though much less then what we would prefer, is appreciated.

Although it will never happen, it'd be really awesome in players from halo 3 and bungie devs were to move back to the game that started it all.

Anyways, thanks again.

Peace,
Mator

Bungie should dedicate a section for patches, rather than having topics on them.
Like a link to patches, and issues solved,
author, date released, etc.

can Halo CE be added to Bungie's Projects? since sawnose is signing the patches with Bungie's signiture.

and how many times must someone state the obvious?

It would be great if those with spare time could support their previous games.

Everyone can't always be busy, the non-busy individuals should work on other stuff, rather than eat pizza on their computers, or fall asleep on the cushy chair. lol.

Sawnose can't be the "only one" who is free to support Halo 1.
there needs to be more!

This worked perfectly! I didn't have to enter any console commands. I just copied the 2 dll's and the 1.08 exe to the halo dir and haloThirdFov (FOV 90) started working again!

Thank you so much!

Tell your buddy I love him/her!

PS: I would still like to see this issue fixed officially though - hint, hint :)

Installed the patch on a XP 32 bit machine with no problems (other than the poor wireless at my house =P )

My girlfriend says her vista can't get through unless she joins through xfire.

...And as a fellow programmer with no offense to the modding community, but there are somethings that Sawnose won't be able to do. Because of politics, source code, and that fact that most people like to keep well paying jobs... I doubt there'll ever be support for 3rd party apps unless its from the 3rd party themselves.

So while there'll be next to no help here for anything not originally included in the Halo code, normally most 3rd party developers hide on Modacity and messageboards like that. I'm a strict halo only player but I hope this helps in your search for support. =)

This is an old account iDarkWint3r is my new Bungie.net user.

Well the 1.09 updates are tested for a beta for the official release.And it works on my 64-bit Vista.This might be off subject again but,I agree with Frnk and Moif.Why not throw down the fresh pizza for once and support the veterans?

I doubt Bungie has the in house talent to code PC games. That part of Bungie died a long time ago when they sold their souls to Microsoft. The funny thing is that Bungie could have easily made it on their own without M$, and would have been a much better studio. And the employees would have been richer too.

Ever since the update my server has been empty. This server is in the 97th percentile. Very popular and never empty. People are unable to enter our server through the lobby, only via direct IP. Any idea on the cause of this? Could it be an issue with our server host, Defcon? Please advise!

funny, because they code all their games with PC or Macs.
They bought their souls back remember? lol souls
what do they need to code PC games?
a Super-computer? lol.

This is the average H2 Fanboy.
Xfire: JacobGRocks.
50 in H2/H3? Great, but you still fail at this.

Well, they have the tools to, as the 360 uses almost the same tools as windows, but they could make more money selling 360 games.

Also, sawnoose is doing it as he has free time, he could be doing other things instead.

No signature found. Click here to change this.

Well, despite Halo moving my Yahoo! Widgets around on my desktop, no bugs to report here. However, the side-scroll text in the Internet Lobby seems to have been cut off towards the end.

No holds bar killing!

I will try it out and see what I get.

you have to re-install,
getting original CD maps from the internet is illegal.
