After installing the latest patch earlier this week, Halo would not load.
It would start then exit to the desktop.
Nothing in Event Viewer however the program did ask me if I wanted to send
the exception report to microsoft.
I re-installed the program from CD and patched to v1.02.  It worked fine.
Went to v1.03, crashing again.

I added the '-novideo' command line switch to the shortcut and the 1.03
patch is now working fine.  It cuts out the movies when you
first run Halo.   I am running a Dell Lattitude Laptop with a Nvidia
GeoForce Video Card.

Hope this helps others.  I was very upset for 2 days!!

Yea Microsoft really messed up Halo with the 1.03 patch. That is for me.
With 1.03 my PC will sometimes lock up when switching from one map to
another in multiplayer mode. I read that others are having the same problem.
When it locks up I will have to power off and back on. Ctl/Alt/Del wont even
work. Thanks Microsoft for a f_cking mess.

Yea, I was ALT TABing and I got the same lockup but pretty rare, PC reset
time and that sucks as I had tons of things that did not even save
5 days of history in IEwas 'gone'
They are working to fix problems but caused problems
Stopping TKers is one thing 1.3 does and does a better job for the F1 now
Seems that they just caused bugs also

What gets me is after each update I can't connect......it freezes on me when
I click multiplayer
I have a second version installed that I run, load that menu, exit and it
works
It seems the firewall is not asking for permission as it should when the exe
is changed
I even browsed to the new exe and give it all permissions but so far it's
never helped

ugh

I don't understand why you guys are having so many issues... I have Halo
running on two run of the mill PCs, nothing special and its running fine
after the patch...

Also, I did notice that I still see a lot of Tk'ing... I have only played
with the sever a bit, just a basic setup, is it something all the sever
admins have to change, besides just adding the patch???

I had the same problem with 1.03 I have now installed 1.031 patch and the
game frequently crashes when changing maps on multiplayer mode.  I notice
from the FAQ that you HAVE to install the latest update if you want to play
the game online or it just won't let you.  Maybe Microsoft should change
this because their last two patches have f*cked things up for a lot of
people. V1.0 worked perfectly.  I would prefer to return to V1.0 and play
online.  Nothing they have done with the patches has improved the game at
all, just slowed it down, caused more lag and made a stable game crash.
Also - WTF did they not include force feedback in this game?!!!!!

yeah same thing for me .. crashing between levels and I don't know what's
worse putting up with betrayers or getting the lag from them being banned.
They need 1.4 patch out ASAP .. btw .. I have a 9600 wonder ... anyone else
with this card experiencing problems ??

I saw this last night
A person would enter and their pings were 1500 to 2000
Now I did not know if they were entering a new game after being banned or if
they are using a crappy connection
But, 3 in 1 game is odd and I had never seen this before
I wonder if some users on satellites are trying to play ..... ya just can't
I have it and I use my modem to play. It is not great but it will work.
Pings are 300ish on the modem but the satellite is IMPOSSIBLE to play on and
would just mess other up

I think some got it for Christmas and are on connections that just can't be
used

I just edited the revision in the registry and it willl not update :)
Ya might not see many servers though
You could reinstall new and then open the reg adn change the revision to
1.31 and then it just will not update automatically
Search for halo in the registry

be careful in there
