Hello,

I was wondering if anyone knew why Sapien for H2V is running slow? I get about 5-20fps. I did set sapien to run on my GFX card instead of my integrated graphics card. Halo 2 itself gives me smooth 60fps, so I don't know what the deal is. I have a Nvidia 1060.

edit: I'd like to also point out that I'm running Windows 10.

Thanks.

Windows 10 is your problem. There is severe incompatability with Windows 10 and ANYTHING that needs/uses DX9. Switch back to Windows 7 and all will be fixed.

And no, as of yet there is no fix for this. You can see for yourself in debug with Sapien, that DX calls are causing the issue. Neither the community nor Microsoft have any fix for this. Those running Sapien or H2V fine in Windows 10 are in the extreme lucky minority. Mine worked fine till updates got installed, uninstalled some apps and or installed new ones...then everything went downhill.

Kind of weird that Halo Custom Editions Sapien runs better than Halo 2's. But thank you for the help.

I know this post is a bit old but I just wanted to make people aware that you can now fix the low FPS in H2Sapien issue with a mod called H2Codez.

Yay for technology I guess.
