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

UPDATE: It is working again!

They now have offical word on this, saying they are looking into it:

Look at the post from GFWLMod.

So for some reason, Halo 2 PC went down today, and they have no offical word....yet. Not only that, but the GFWL "Support team" isnt working on the issue either, just saying "Wait it out"

Well, someone could make a h2v lan tunnler, like XLink Kai or xbc but for PC. And i've been dealing with too many campagin save point errors.

halo 2 still the best game in the series. long live halo 2.

Dam, I miss the old days playing halo 2 with my old brothers in arms. Thank you my old friends for giving me this account, I shall continue our legacy.

Halo 2 vista is working just fine for me. Never had a problem with it crashing and I was able to play it without any problems earlier.

yeah so, they're going to fix a problem we've had since the game released, where servers take long to show up, and now its completely offline, Its pretty much obvious, this game is dead.
Maybe this is a sign, that Halo 3 PC is coming to replace this failsauce of a game.

Ok, even though it is having lots of issues, here is a fix by AsK magic and Gunmonkey80 (reposted from MonstrMoose). It involves Hamachi (lan tunnler) and a DLL to make it work with it.
Temp FIX!
My guide NOT MY WORK
SPECIAL THANKS to Gunmonkey80 for telling me about this.
All credit goes to http://www.teknogods.com/ and hamachi.

Alright well it's a hell of a process to install but it's worth it.

1) visit here: http://www.teknogods.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=77
Must register to download the .rar file.

2) Download Hamachi here: http://hamachi.en.softonic.com/

3) Install Hamachi

4) Open up hamachi, set yourself up, (nickname can be gamertag) and join any halo 2 network (if you don't know how to use it then follow the guide that pops up) join My network and we can all play. You can only see the servers of people in the network lolz

Name: Supersniper's Halo 2 Hamachi
Pass: microsoftsux

5) Open up the .RAR file.

6) Add the .reg files (the hamachi one)

7) Run Halo 2, then the rundll file.

8) should say it was injected and have fun Ctrl + C to close the cmd window.

8) Go to Network then press F12 once (you hear it's working) then press it again (you hear something else) then either join a game or create one (you should see all games made if you join a hamachi network with people in it).

and there you have it Halo 2 vista multiplayer is back again.

Though, it is working for some, looks like just another issue with GFWL and H2V.
