How can I increase the framerate on Halo 2? It seems when I am not signed into live, it's playable, but right when I sign in the framerate goes down, any solutions for this? My video settings are down as low as they can go.

Got frame rate problems, I feel bad for you son. They're in 99 games and Halo 2 is one.

Halo 2 vista's Vertical Synchronization does not work very well. I use this to get perfect 60fps in halo 2

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.

Well there's your problem: Your laptop sucks.

Well, that's not the entire problem. Halo 2 Vista's an extremely unoptimized piece of crap and won't run well unless you have decently powerful hardware.

Which you don't.

Something smells fishy...

I mean technically you should play be able to play it fine. I think it's a problem with the game itself because I get frame rate issues also and my computer surpasses H2V's system requirements.

He didn't show his graphics card, which makes me assume integrated graphics, which would be his problem.

Use bare minimum settings.

According to BB's link, those laptops actually come with dedicated graphics.

I can normally play halo with no problems, but when I sign into live, even with settings to the minimum it slows down to about 7-9 fps.

Tell us your graphics card...and we'll go from there. Until we know, it's a stab in the dark anything we say.

That's an integrated card...and the card itself is relatively low end. Only thing I can suggest is FPS limiter and free up as much RAM as possible with lowest settings but other than that, there's not much you can do here I think.

Ask someone for h2vliveless. It's basically an app that just hides the live menu because the game constantly renders it and it lowers framefrates.

Not anything illegal :3

Aww -blam!-, dinobegone (aka the live thing) is down... I'll upload a copy later if i can find it :|
