Problems with halo PC

Halo Cuts out!

Hey guys, I know you're all asking questions but I'll put one in there as well.
My PC cuts out and restarts after playing about an hour and a bit of Halo. All other games work. My settings are 1280x1024. Monitor at 60hz ( is 60hz good or bad?). Framerate at 30fps (what the hell is vsync? I turned it off cause i thought it was the problem) Everything else is on 'yes' and 'high'.
I just wondered if anyone had a similiar problem like this where it restarts. I've got the latest driver for halo (1.031). My card is great and my processor is even better but Halo just doesn't work.

Thanks in advance for your replies:grinthumb




PS: That TS Halo Clan sounds sweet. I'm in if you start it.

I don't know what kind of controller you are using but you might want to install a new driver for it. I actually using an Xbox controller with a PC adapter. I had to look around for a couple of different drivers before it started working right.

out.........

This happens alot, after i join a multiplayer game for a while it will automatically close the game down and say "the game has closed down". I even go back to the gamespy lobby thing and it still shows the game in play with everyone originally in it. This is really bad because just today i was playing a King of the Hill match (no teams) and i had 2 seconds to go to win and it just closed down (it will do this in any level with any settings).

Do you think this might have to do with someone else having the same cd key code (i accidentally gave it to someone else) or is my game just a defect? I NEED HELP PEASE!!!

woah i didn't realise this thread was still active
Anyways, Waffle man I dont think it was a good idea to give your cd key to some1 else but i doubt it that it actually prevents you from playing the game. Most games I join do close down a lot cause they dont like the ppl they play with so they restart another game (but obviously have the same ip address).

MOST LIKELY: Waffle man, earlier you said that you checked gamespy for the game that closed down and you found it. It think I know what you are having trouble with. Are you using gamespy to play halo multiplayer? Or are you using the in-game multiplayer powered by gamespy. Reason: If you are using the seperate gamespy thing that you download then you are experiencing the ADVERTS!!! The adverts appear every 30-60minutes and cut off the game that you are playing.

They do this because they want you to buy the full version of GAMESPY not download it.
I recommend you go into Halo and use the In-game multiplayer to play. I use it, it's just as good!

I hope this solved your problems.:grinthumb

im using the in-game gamespy thingy (the lobby) and i have no f***** clue what is going on. Do you think i should email microsoft or bungie or gearbox about this? Yet today while i was playing a game it went for a long time.... i guess it just does it on certain games (like almost ALL of them) or it might be my crappy computer- its 2 years old now (damn emachines!!!) man....... lol this is really sad

Shutting down of the PC

I had this problem insane monkey, if you still have then there are two things you need to do.

1) Install the latest graphics driver.
2) Go to start/Control Panel/System/advanced/start-up and recovery/settings/ under system failue unclick the radio button "automatically restart"

It should do it

Problems with connecting

I have been playing Halo online for months with no problems at all, but recently things have changed. When you click mulitplayer/internet a box comes up saying checking new updates, its there for about 30 secs then goes to the server select screen, I click "get" and there are no servers, I have downloaded all the patches.

Does anyone know whats going on ?

haha! wow this is an old thread. First time ive been on these forums for 4 years :S

Why are you still tinkering around with Halo 1? Its an awfully buggy game thats been shattered by other great games repeatedly for the last couple of years. I wish it'd stayed with the Xbox!
