Page 1 of HALO:COMBAT EVOLVED

hi, just got this and it`s running like a complete dog even at the lowest resolution (800x600) with all shadows decals etc switched off anyone else having problems? my spec is............
XP2600 CPU
512meg DDR400
GIGABYTE GA-7N400-PRO2
MSI FX5200 GRAPHICS 128meg

i know the graphics card isn`t anywere near the best but it`s handled everything else ok tho the only other game i`ve purchased lately is elite forces 2 (quake 3 engine) it runs that with everything switched on and much higher res?

any help apreciated

I`m playing it on:
1.4Ghz Athlon
512MB Ram (just 2100 DDR)
GF4 4200Ti.
at 1152x864 with everything whacked up and, except on some explosions in the ship, it`s flyin`. :D Just got out into the open for the 2nd `level` and no probs there either.

Ste

i`ve just tried shutting almost all my background progs (anti-virus-etc) and it`s still the same :(
on a lighter note sj, if you have never played halo before you`re in for a treat if it`s half as good as the x-box version (and the pc version should be better) but you may want to play it in legendry mode to get the most out of it :D

Is it officially out yet?

yup (us)

Hi,

I installed this on my sons computer with similar problems. this was solved by upgrading the graffix drivers. He has a geforce 4 card. on my system with a radeon 9500 card it worked first time.
Hope this helps a bit.

i read somewhere that the vertex shaders are switched on by default, and if you amend the command run line to switch them off it will run a lot better. Sorry for being so vague but I can`t remember the full details but google should find you the answer.

I thought the game would rock with the Keyboard/Mouse interface...but it still sucks! >:(

I`ve just started playing this - and it seems great already
The AI of the enemies is really good - and controls are just like all the other first person shooters

Running on an AMD 2600XP, 1GB PC2100 RAM, GeForce 4 Ti4600 128MB
And it`s fixed at 30fps (which I can`t seem to change, but don`t need to anyway)

Edit - Using the latest Nvidia drivers, and running at 1024x768
