I tried using the DXTweaker fix but it didn't work, and since the 1.09 update I can't use FireScythe's post processing (http://www.modacity.net/forums/showthread.php?t=16647) anymore. Is there any way I can fix my active camouflage so it doesn't look lame as hell? inb4 "Get ATI card :V"

When Gearbox was testing the game on computers when they were making it, Nvidia cards have problems with it, so they just disabled the good one for NVidia cards. Only fix is to trick Halo into thinking you have ATI card or other supported one.

Still the lame see-through masterchief, no cool distortion effects. Quote: --- Original message by: SiMuLaCrUm Does anyone know exactly why the active camo shaders do not work on nVidia cards? As far as I know, when they were porting the game to PC, the older nVidia cards (which were modern cards back then) couldn't handle the active camo; it would make the game crash. So they made the game detect nVidia cards and replace the camouflage with that crappy effect. EDIT: Chris beat me to it. I should refresh the page every once in a while Edited by seanthelawn on Nov 24, 2009 at 05:29 PM
