Can't do anything, installed OS and now halo crashes on startup.

That blew my mind. It actually did look better than anniversary edition! I wasn't expecting it to be that great!

When I played, I found no bugs (except for the motion blur bug where it occasionally messes up and bleeds your past frames onto your current frame, but that doesn't matter much, only happened in the really large fight scenes)

At highest, I ran 60FPS, at lowest, I believe about 15. I don't know, I didn't have my framerate counter on. Anyway, I'm astounded by the release.

Besides the graphics, CMT was able to actually pull off some gameplay that was different! I've never had a power trip with an assault rifle, never purposely overloaded a plasma rifle to see what it looked like, and I most certainly have never taken this much cover until today! Plus, the brutes were much better than the CMT SPV2 ones. Reminded me a little bit of the Halo 2 and 3 brutes in a combined way.

I was a little let down that you didn't replace Captain Keyes's character with a newly shadered and remodeled one, he looked a little low res compared to everyone else. But other than that, I really can't complain.

Although VISR mode wasn't needed, I raped that Q button like there was no tomorrow. I thought it was amazing.

You guys have put a lot of work into this campaign mod and I am glad to see it's release. It was almost jaw dropping.

Now I have one question.
When you made SPV2, you added extensions to the campaign on the maps A10, A30, and D40. (I don't know if there were any more, my computer had a hard time playing the others, so I just stopped) In my opinion, the way that the campaign extensions were set up back then were a little plain and badly done. But will you be recreating them in SPV3? Perhaps with a more atmospheric look rather than the same music playing as you struggle to figure out where that last beacon is because the marker is pointed in the wrong direction. (Specifically A30)

Well, that's all for now. Thank you for the wonderful experience.

Oh the joy koo, now your left behind with me, lol.

Make sure:

1) You have Halo Custom Edition version 1.09. For-real 1.09, not a version-changer program thing.
2) You do not have XFire running.
3) You do not have any other addons to the game (i.e. version changer or something else using a .dll hook) installed.

(Problems going beyond this fall outside the range of my knowledge).

Halo dosent seem to even like the regular .map version for me, it has crashed every time while loading, and im fairly positive that OS is simply not working at all even though I've installed it.

Well that's the only thing i've got, so i'm reinstalling Halo.
...nope. Reinstalled, no versionchanger, no other programs running, 1.09, still exceptions on startup.

Graphics card? Maybe update your graphics drivers?

Anyways, I had a smooth gameplay experience all the way through. But that is because I have a NVIDIA GTX 580, nothing special...My eyes got destroyed even on medium bloom when passing through one of the narrow areas of the bsp with all the covenant lights. Elites and jackals are spectacular, ODSTs and Marine armor were also spectacular, BSP textures are out of this world. Masterchief's armor is awkward, and the brutes seems unpolished. Weapons were very nice and polished up also. I'd still take it over Anniversary. Great work guys!

Congrats on the release!!
I may just blow the digital dust off of my old Halo CE installation and play this.

OS makes me lag. Any suggestions to fix that? Like any settings I should disable? My computer is definately capable of this.

These are probably what you should start with.

Played it. Um.. Where's all the graphics enhancements? Unless I'm really stupid, This just looks like normal halo to me. Everything else is great though.

when I use the VISR the whole screen turns very bright for some reason yes my graphics card supports shader 3.0 its a NVIDIA Geforce 6600.also guys if you have lag in game you could also increase virtual memory.

Wow this looks cool with os! :D I couldn't use os a while ago because it gave me super lag but i fixed it! :D If anyone else had super lag just go to OS_Settings.User.xml and then i oped it with notepad and put in false on this thing <GBuffer enabled="false" /> that cut down on tons of lag. I could now put everything back on max. :D

How did you do the visor thingy? Mine can't do that.
\:|

That's your problem. The VISR requires the GBuffer to be enabled (since that is how it detects where enemies are, what their allegiance is, etc).

NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That means i'll never be able to use it because it lags like crap when i have it on... (|()<--< *sad face*

I'd double-check to be sure that it's actually the GBuffer and not any of the other post-processing features (bloom,motionblur and antialiasing can all be toggled the same way), but if it's really just the GBuffer itself that causes it then I guess you're out of luck...

Well...I guess i didn't really need it. It looks really good without it anyways. :)

teh lag I think I found a bug when I changed my VISR to flashlight and then changed it back to VISR for some reason if I use it it makes the screen turn very bright and you can hardly see anything my video card supports shader 3.0.found one of the easter eggs by the way which it killed me like five times.

Can you post a picture? It's hard to understand what's going on just by that description (since the VISR itself is supposed to make things brighter).

sure I will try to get a picture of it.when I posted about bug I already restarted level and cant get it to occur again all that ill say is that when I used it the screen was far brighter then it should have been when you use it. also like I said before people if a50 lags when you play it increase your virtual memory which uses some hard drive space to act as if it were ram.

Best Mod Ever of all time. With OS (OS installed so easily no problems what so ever) the game looks so good and I just couldn't stop using the VISR. I also loved the easter egg at the start awesome!

Which egg did you find?

(I'm trying to keep track of which ones people have and haven't found, we might do something fun with them if enough remain undiscovered after a while).

I to have found it after he said he found it at start I thought I might go look and I found it I have found two easter eggs now.

The Super Silenced SMG egg, loved the music though it is a bit to easy to find because on my very first playthrough just turn on VISR look around and WHABAM it's right there.

I found that and the weird flying captain keys that makes flood sounds and kills you in 2 hits.

Humhum, I was hoping that would remain a secret for longer... At least you guys haven't figured it all out yet!

everyone use fly cam and serch exterior and interior of ship and have VISR on. this reminds me of h2 when bungie hid that scarab gun and they thought no one would find it in years but ends up only taking weeks to find. dont worry teh lag I wont tell anyone where captain keys easter egg is located.

How do I check my FPS on it?

Darn it.Looks awsome.I only have one problem.It doesnt work as it should.I dont have that cool shiny look on covenant and humas.Also its a shame i like those weapons but whitout the shine effects it doesnt seem to fit in.

I have Ati Radeon HD 6770
8 GB of RAM Memory
Intel Pentium G850 2.90 GHz

Is it compatible with the shaders or not?

ALREADY there are videos for the easter eggs. I'ma bookmark those...

So far: Super Battle Rifle, Party Gun, Super SMG.

I'm suprised how quick the vids came. This Sugar Honey Ice Tea is popular.

Can't load the .yelo map? after i put in "map_name a50" It just does nothing.

so when you try to load a50.yelo it just stays at UI?
found another easter egg a carbine that when you shoot makes marine noises.
Edited by Spark on Feb 25, 2012 at 01:54 AM

Yeah.

I'm still having a blast with the normal .map version though. Like, slow-mo + free camera.
