When replying to threads on the forum, I will end my response with a number in either positive or negative based on how relevant/Interesting/informative the thread is. If you hit +25 youre awesome if you hit -10 you've been reported.

Got a quick question, I looked up the Specs for H2V and it says as long and your WEI is around 3 at minimum, your system can be able to play the game. So my system has a WEI of 3.3 and and If i turn the graphics properties down a bit , will my system run the game a bit smoother?

Don't let your OS ranking number fool you. Its better to post your computer specs and ask the community if you computer will be capable of running the game.

Or you could used the "Can you run it?" http://cyri.systemrequirementslab.com/CYRI/intro.aspx website to analyze your computer and determine if you will be capable of running the game

Let me tell you this, a rating of about 5.0 or so will only get you 1280x720 on Medium with 2x AA. And only 40fps. I bet you will only be able to get 800x600 on Low with no AA at about 20-30fps.

directive classified hmhmhmhmhmhmhmhmm singed kunai agent of E.V.A. saa itte miyo oka yume no kuni

more like 17 fps at 800x600 windowed no aa and on the lowest setting thats what my preformanc score is i dont recomend it unless you want to see lag all the time.

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

Never trust WEI. For example, a GMA 950 will give you 3.0, but will NOT run h2v.

Yeah. That's right. I don't have a 50 in H3. I never got Onyx in Reach. If a game sucks too much, I won't even bother trying for such trivial "accolades". Besides, I've done way more things that take far more skill and talent than anything that can be done in a video game.

There really is no substitute for knowing your stuff. WEI and systemrequirementslab.com be damned.

apparently, mine is still stuck at 5.9 being the minimum,
it seems as though M$ want to be retarded with Hard drives, and only care about Solid State Drives being higher than 5.9

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.

I have a 5.6 rating (everything 5.9 except CPU) and H2V still has some performance problems. I sometimes wonder if pccompat.dll is a frigging xbox emulator.

If you have an nVidia graphics card, you can adjust it to performance. I have an nVidia GeForce 8200 and it is set to performance. Everything will have jagged edges but the fram rate will increase. Quality enables anti-alising, but requires more detailed renderin and smoother edges, which can cost some fps. That is if you are on nVidia ofcourse.

lol no.
anything xboxy, is normally named with xb, xbe etc.
pccompat.dll must be to try and stop XP users, just a guess.

WEI is a lie, SSDs are needed to get over 5.9 for Hard drive.

I think it might be a file for Live Gaming on windows. After all, when it started, all it was (and still is) is a quick port of live to pc.

The WEI is a bunch of bull-blam!-. Its there so peopel who dont know anything abotu computers have some vague idea about ehir computer's overall quality.

I'm running H2V with everything on low and no AA with a Radeon HD 3200 and have between 30 and 60 fps. I ws having some chop issues with the frames, I just overclocked with AMD Overdrive the 3200 from 500mhz to 700mhz and they went away. Now granted this only works if you have an ATI graphics card.
