Hi guys, I've reinstalled Halo 2 on my PC (new graphics, processor, more RAM, reinstalled OS) and ran it, and noticed that the game was running very laggily (not sure if that's a word), as in: the framerate is generally 75 (refresh rate), but at least twice per second, there is a very noticable "snap" where there are dropped frames or something like that, anyway, will fpslimiter set to 75 + noVSync mode fix it?

The only thing that can fix Halo 2 is the trash can. (or the bin if you're a Brit)

I would just limit it to 60 frames seeing as though it's being dropped from 75 to begin with.

Cap your framerate to 60fps. Halo 2 was poorly ported and probably wasn't designed to run higher than 60fps.

I have no idea what the original framerate Halo 2 ran at on Xbox (30? 60?) but as far as we know, capping your framerate to 60 is the only fix.

The bungie.net community is the halo PC community that is renowned for being unbelieveably sucky.

Sounds like mouse input lag. Are you using a mouse?

You're welcome xD I don't think any of the Halos ran at 60 FPS (Console). Would be great if they could optimize Halo 4 to have 3/Reach level graphics with 60 FPS. Not like they're going to get better graphics out of this generation's hardware anyways.
