9500 + Halo for Skip
My system is : NF7S 2.0 Barton 2500 Audigy sound card 2x256 pc2700 crucial ram 60gig barracuda IV hard drive Win98se latest Omega drivers When I first started playeng Halo, the game was running fine but without any colour textures just the various 3d models. Eventually sorted it by going to the D3D settings in 3D section of the advanced section for display settings. Moving the settings from performance, to Balanced got everything running as it should be. Running at 800x600 instead of 1024x768 as it is beyond my system. Have not put in either of the patches yet, havent found any need for them, game is stable and apart from occasional slow down when it gets hectic game runs fine. Will maybe experiment later, and probably foul it all up. One final thing have added -use11 to the halo.exe so that it reads halo -use11.exe when highlighted. |

As the patch addresses some performance issues and you are having performance issues, the maybe you do have a need for it. -- Andrew. To email unscramble & remove spamtrap.

You do not rename the EXE file with -use11, you use it in the command line. Right click on the shortcut icon, click properties, and in target go the the end of the line and add -use11. You can also add -novideo to get rid of the intro movies that play when you launch halo. Click the link below for an example of the above. http://thejzone.virtualave.net/other/halo.shortcut.jpg |
