War, War never changes.

Got my Recon from the Vidmaster achievments, like most.
Reach IS awesome, don't deny it

Hey, im sorry if this has been posted already but i didnt get anything from the search bar. I have recentley bought Halo CE on pc. Now i have attempted to change the settings to make the game run smoother, however since i have changed the settings i can no longer play the game, default settings or not. So, do i need a patch? Also if someone could tell me what the lowest settings to pick are, so it could run easier, Thanks. Oh i have vista if that helps.

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Not sure how to restore functionality, but if you have an NVIDIA card, try turning off decals first. If that still doesn't work, turn off specular. Then shadows. If all else fails, drop the texture size.

You should be able to get the latest update automatically when you connect to multiplayer.

You don't need all the other updates, the 1.08 update includes all previous updates.

What's it doing exactly? Freezing? Throwing up an error message?

The only time I experienced a problem lately is when I applied sawnose's new beta patch.
