When i minimize Halo and reopen it again, I have terrible lag on the chat logs. Most of the time i cant read what people are saying because it either doesn't appear at all or only for a fraction of a second.

All of my friends have the same problem and it's really annoying, especially when I'm hosting a server and cant read the votes.

Isn't there some solution to this? I mean, after 7 versions, one might expect that this issue has been solved?

EDIT: And no, "not minimizing the game" is not a satisfying answer :p

After about a month, my halo pc will do this. But not from minimizing it. I just cant see text anymore. My way of solving for another few months. I merely reinstall. Ten minutes later, every is back to normal. Nothing fancy needed. But if your ingame and want somethign faster, copy the ip address, restart your comp, get back in. That works for me to.

There is a file in the Halo program directory called msxmlenu.msi, click and run it. That should fix the problem with text lag and no text at all. It seemed to work for me.

Good luck.
