I've got an amazing video card, I have over 750 RAM, and I got Halo PC two days ago. It's pretty good, harder to use so there's less noobs online (I guess that's a good thing) but what completely ruins it for me is that whenever I scope in with the Pistol, Rocket Launcher, or even the telemascope/Sniper Rifle, where the reticule is, it goes extremely blurry. The reticule is perfect, as it is part of the HUD, a different line of code. It turns red when on an enemy, but I can't see anything, except for the very dark parts on the corners when using the sniper.


Does anyone have some kind of fix? Why do I always get defects?? I remember when I was 7 I got this watergun that didn't work!!

Do you have the latest drivers for your video card?

wait... the whole scope goes blury? not just the part that's farther from the recticle?
sounds like a driver problem...
what's your "amasing" video card?

I actually have no clue what kind of video card I have. My friends say that's it. I took a screenshot using the print screen technique, and I'm putting it on Putfile.

I don't think my drivers are updated.

OK, latest update, it seems to be getting better. I consulted my friend at school who introduced Halo PC to me, and he says that he recalls it being blurry for the first few days he had it as well.

With the Rocket Launcher and the Pistol scopes, they seem to be getting better, only a small blurry spot in the middle. However, the sniper is as bad as ever.

ok, this is not something that will get better over time. any change you saw was just your imagination.
that being said....
right click on you "my computer" icon and select properties. go to the "hardware" tab, and click on device manager.
open the tab that says "display adapters," and tell us all that you see. if you're not on windows... well, tell us your OS and ignore what i just said, and if you are on windows, tell us what version of windows you're on.

So thanks, I followed your advice, and I took of course a screenshot usign the miraculous Print Screen Button, and here is a link to it:

Imageshack

so anyways, that's it.

I'd also like to point out that every here has been so helpful compared to some of the jackasses on the New Mombasa and Zanzibar Halo 2 Forums.

Well I didn't uninstall anything, it seems to be working fine, except when zooming it looks very squarry. Pixelly. I can't really complain, compared to what it was before. The Pistol and Rocket Launcher scopes are perfect, thanks so much.

I'm having a problem like this, I would of started a new topic except I cant for 24hrs. Anyways my problem is that when I zoom in with a sniper everything in the scope is very pixilated and over a fairly good distance players pretty much just blend in, out of the scope the enviroment looks great, I 'll try to get a screen shot in a minute. Here is my comp specs..

Intel pentium 4, 2.8g 800fsb

Ati radeon 9500 pro(sort of old, but still fairly solid)

500mb ddr ram(433 i think)

my drivers are fairly new although i just saw that they just came out with new ones, i'll try them and see what happens but I dont think it'll work

any help would be appreciated

You have the 256MB fix, yes? I think it was included with the lastest patches but I'm not sure...It might need a manual install.

Also, disable anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering, and possibly Catalyst AI in the Catalyst control center [the menu for ATi cards you can access via right-clicking on the desktop]. If you have nVidia just get to the Forceware options and toggle those off, too.

Try running in safe mode and playing, too...
