I just recently bought halo for pc and it works fine. However i recently downloaded the CE pack and it won't open for me. The original Halo works fine but everytime I enter CE a window appears asking for "Exception data". What do I need to do for this to end?
Zeph will want to castrate me for saying this, but Halo PC/CE is a crappy port. If it happens constantly, redownload CE and all your maps and hope that, by chance, it goes away.
Yeah, it's definately the internet, so I'm gonna castrate you. I completely fail to see how it's a poor, or even crappy, port. One, it was contract work issued, critiqued, reworked, and approved by Bungie through Microsoft according to their specifications. Two, rasterizer code has been amended to properly work with hardware above AND BELOW the original Xbox specifications. Dont be pissed off at the game if it looks terrible, be pissed at your computer for not having the recommended hardware. Three, the port is incredibly open ended. Have you ever run the game at 4000x3000? 40,000x30,000? 120x80? It's possible thanks to a considerate porter. Four, the game is as secure as the server it's running on. Unlike a console, or other client sided game, a person can't have super speed or one hit needle kills unless everyone does. *Note, the aimbot doesn't count towards this, as it is not a true talking-to-server cheat.*
I'd go on, but I've gotta get going.
