"gBOT" wrote in message om... Hi, Just bought Halo for PC. My System: P4 2.6 800FSB 1GB DDR RAM Maxtor SATA HDD Leadtek GeForce FX5900 128MB Nvidia 45.23 drivers Halo 1.02 patch With settings maxed out @ 1280x1024 I get single figure fram rates. Even at 800x600, with settings toned down a bit it's still pretty bad. I should never have to play at 800x600 with this card. It's broken!! How can they release such a big title, and not test it on such popular hardware with current release drivers? Very disappointing. My first DX9 game looks like crap. Has anyone out there got similar system, but not having bad frame rates? I've seen posts that the 52.13 drivers improve things, but there is apparently other problems with them. Why should we need beta drivers to run such a major, new release title? You're doing something wrong, my system is running it fine , just under 30fps, and all I have is: XP1700+ (oc'd to XP2600+) 512MB PC3200 DDR GF4 Ti4200 128MB ATA133 40GB Maxtor HD Don't think I was playing on the highest res, but it was higher than 800x600, with almost no slowdown. |

It ran fine on my PC but I found it pretty dull and I'm sad to say the graphics were pretty tired looking, even on max settings. |

It's a port, and yeah it is old, but hell, I still play eight player death matches on weekends, and it is still one of the best gaming experiences I ever had. weirdly, i think this game is better on my 32" TV with my xbox. Halo2 is gonna be such a trip |

"SpaceWalker" wrote in message .. . since the gfx is not a true "DX9" card, the code chokes when using 2.0 shaders. Run the game with -use14 for shader 1.4 or -use11 for shader 1.1. Ex. "..\halo.exe -use11" for version 1.1 shader "..\halo.exe -use14" for version 1.4 shader alot of people have gotten much better performance out of halo this way.. 1.1 and 1.4 is driver dependent so try both and see which one works better with your driver version. wow that worked a treat - the demo at least is playable now! |
