I got my new PC, i installed Halo CE on my E drive, tried installing OS, and right when i click halo all the os files vanish. why does this happen and how can i fix it? don't tell me "INSTALL CE ON C YOU IDIOT" because C is my SSD which houses my Operating System and programs like Max.

This may sound barbaric but have you tried just installing it on C then cutting the files it installed and placing it in your Halo folder. After that making them read-only? Better yet, just skip installing it in C and make them read-only.

Yes and it still does. Can someone just please send all the OS files including the ones for HEK?

Did you check your anti-virus program? That may be the cause of the problem. Have you tried disabling it and then running Halo and see if that makes a difference?

I'm sorry if these answers sound like something you would give to someone incredibly computer illiterate but these are the best answers I could come up with.

Do you mean the files are literally gone because in order to fix that error you have to install this.

EDIT: Might have figured it out. Will provide solution when I know it works.

So the lesson here kids if fate doesn't want you to install halo with the prime intention of creating crappy mods then move to UE4.

I don't know if this could help. Try to back up your files.

All my mods are cool. Why? Because I don't upload them.

What's the point of calling Flanker out anymore? He always seems to get away with everything. Is there even a sense of morality in this joke of a forum?


If it is any consolation I plan to delete my account soon.

Any way to turn that "soon" into an "immediately"?
