Halo Fatal Error

There was a problem initializing Direct3d. Hardware accleration may disabled. Please run DXDIAG.

I have tried everything. I know this is a common problem and there has to be a fix for it. It worked b4, but now it doesn't. HELP

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

What are your computer specs?

not the best setup, but it works.

I probably know exactly what the problem is.

When you install Halo PC, simply go to Microsoft's Halo download page and manually install the patch. That should fix everything up in a jiffy.

Make sure you have the latest drivers for your graphics card.

Master Cheif you need to download the patch for HIGH spec graphics cards of the Microsoft site.

That happened to me when I installed it but I forget what I did. If I think of it I will post again but good luck with that for now.
