Hello everybody, is it possible that a provider can crash halo through a fast but not constant connection ? I noticed that my upload and download speeds are always high(and ping of around 30 milliseconds) but the connection stutters. I have a cable connection and i have the strong feeling that there is some multiplexing involved. It is also strange that it happens one week not and then every day multiple times a day for weeks.
It is not my computer, it is rockstable and never have crashes with any games or applications but halo. That is, ever since 1.07 patch has been released halo crashes. Before the patch i never experienced such problems.
The dll that crashes according to halo is vorbis.dll.
I have the latest drivers for every device and the latest offical bios, even an new soundcard(which i did not buy to see if my problems were solved with halo, just to let you know). And again: my system and other applications never crashes and halo never crashed before the halo 1.07 patch.
System is w2k +sp4 +various security updates (I know, it is always a guess :) ), 1024 MB ddr400@360Mhz[ 2 3 2 10] (in dualchannel mode), Barton2800+@2,25Ghz, Radeon9600XT, abit NF7 S2 with NForce2U400..
Gfx and cpu temperatures are around 44 degrees celcius through special aircooling(made by me, more efficient and less fans and better then intel btx idea) at full load and roomtemperature of 25 degrees celcius.
overall system temperature is 36 degrees celcius. My system is rocksolid and can run memtest for days without failures or crashes.
It is halo with bad network code since patch 1.07 !
The crashes occur random while in network menu where you can choose a server to play on or during the game.
This is the only game that crashes and it does so since patch 1.07. I replaced the dll with the version from the cd again and no changes. I am going to replace files untill i notice a change.
Since i do not get any answer also from bungie this is the only thing i can try...
A reliable technical answer would really be appreciated if someone can give me one...
Thank you in advance
Bill
