Subject: Halo 2 PC Update

I recently got an update to my Halo 2 PC game when I logged in yesterday. I have no idea what this was for. I was hoping it would fix the family account issue so I could actually play with other players, but I didn't notice anything of the sort.

Does anyone know?

I noticed the update as well... I think it was just for GFWL, not specifically Halo 2 :P You might be able to find some results on google about it, though.

I did search Google first, but I searched specifically Halo 2. I don't really care if it isn't Halo 2 specific though. Thanks.

I was personally hoping that they had fixed it where you can have party chat :/ Still just private chats :/

Interestingly after reading your post, i just tried to play H2V to see if there was an update, only to be met with for the first time GFWL telling me LIVE isn't supported in my country (UK). Looks like I was bound to have a problem with Halo 2 sooner or later...

Looks like we found what the patch did. Gets rid of all the UK players... Great job, Microsoft.

Surprisingly, it claims it can't find my Internet Address, which i'll see if i can fix with port forwarding or static IP's. If not, then Halo 2 is officially dead to me, ironically the issue is just with H2V. GTA 4 (on sale on steam, couldn't resist xD) works with no issues.

I'm in Croatia and it works for me, and Live isn't supported in my country (AFAIK)

Port forwarding should do the trick. It will be sad to lose one of the few people on Halo 2 Vista :/

Edit: Actually, I think they fixed the voice chat. I was on while also talking to my girlfriend via Skype. While talking to her about "The Big Bang Theory" (TV show, not actual theory) I noticed my voice was coming through in game. I then immediately shut up in embarrassment. -_-'

Rofl, hope so xD. Yeah i play the game once every 2 weeks or so for casual fun but that's it really, with any luck as you said port forwarding should solve this.

The big bang theory, sure everyone loved the talk ;) xD

I hate being on game chat. I only ever talk in private chats or party chats. I guess I'm just to shy when it comes to that. I also hate when people get on game chat just to talk to a friend about random crap that has nothing to do with the game. (Exactly what I was doing -_-')

That's the number of bans in this thread. Next time you want to derail something, go stand in front of a train.

I'm in the UK also, I'll go load up Halo 2 Vista to see if I get the same thing.

I rang up GFWL support and they think it's an issue on their end that they're going to look into. I think it's probably just my account but it makes no sense at all. Originally it was just Halo 2 Vista suffering from this issue but now all my GFWL games do. Let me know how things go. Thanks

I had no problems what so ever with either of my GFWL Games (Halo 2 and GTA IV).

Hope you get it fixed.

That's unfortunate, which means it's either an issue with my gamertag or something must be up with my internet then (though this wouldn't explain why Xbox Live works but GFWL doesn't). Glad it's working for you, thanks for checking though.

Also the AR is actually good in CQB now and no longer a glorified baseball bat.

It was definitely a GFWL update and not an update for H2V. When I just booted up H2V for the first time on my laptop, it needed to download the GFWL update before it could download the H2V update from way back when.
