i finally got halo multiplayer to work via Local Area Connection, and the checking for updates to come on, but its taking FOREVER!!!! is this normal for the first time?
Ya, it depends on your connection. I usually just download from the main site, but it may be the same server the game is downloading from.
how LONG will it take? :-(
Shouldn't take very long, the update files aren't much. What kind of connection do you have?[Edited on 5/17/2006]
I plugged my pc's cable into a wireless router.Belkin 54g. its been like 5 minutes so far
http://www.microsoft.com/games/halo/downloads.asp^-------- Download from here.
the Halo Hot-Fix v1.07?thats what im downloading right now after i tried multiplayer, but its still taking too long
Oh, did you allow Halo to access the Internet? Most of the time Virus Scan programs don't let you do that unless you allow it manually.
yes, I used Norton and let it have access to the internet
Turn off Norton and go back to the Updates part in Halo. I had problems like this with Norton and Halo too. Part of the reason why I got McAfee :D
huh, that is really wierd. try updating from the updater program in the halo floder.BTW, nice choice in the router, I use that one as well, its not the router.[Edited on 5/17/2006]
alright, i turned off the norton and waiting for the update to load.
keep notron on that will get u viruses and u can t get it to go faster u might just have a slow pc and just click th e auto update button in the folder where halo was installed alot easier
Folder? Folder??? What folder???? OMGWTFBBQ?My Computer>C-drive>Program Files>Microsoft Games>HaloAnd in that folder, there should be a little icon somewhere that has a Legendary skull-and-shield icon. That's the manual Halo update, click that to manually download the update.
By turning Norton off and downloading from Microsoft's server, I HIGHLY doubt you would get a virus. It's only stupid to turn it off if you're downloading from Kazaa or Limewire.
