I have a video-card related performance problem with Halo on the PC. When I try to run Halo from WinXP, I get a message telling me that my video hardware is below the recommended minimum specs. I tried to run the game anyway, and at first it just crashed to Windows. However when I downloaded the latest drivers it ran, but with a highly flickering screen and greyscale graphics (i.e. unplayable). My specs are: AMD3000+ 1024MB RAM 64MB KN400A Integrated Graphics - Driver: KN400 Unichrome Integrated Graphics 169439-06 VIA Extreme Chipset - Driver: VIA Hyperion 4in1 v4.53 DirectX 9.0c installed The minimum video card required is "32MB/3D T&L capable". Surely what I have exceeds this? Any help to improve the performance would be appreciated - thanks!

- 1. Battlefield 2142 Deluxe: Don't Buy it. NS does not work
EA does it again.. So far no one that has bought Battlefield 2142 Deluxe has been able to activate and play the Northern Strike content that is included. 8 guys in my clan alone can't get it working. Other BF2 clans we play with are reporting the same. We never bothered with the original 2142 and decided to wait for the inevitable deluxe version to avoid EA's craptastic download and activation-booster pack scam. Plus cheaper price. TONS of people are complaining about it on the forums and of course EA is deleting threads again. Like Epic on the UT3 boards with hoars of complaints. I'm done with EA.. - 2.

Here is your public apology, just like you asked for. I'm sorry you're an asshole, Ganked a Panked, a Yanked Again! LOL, you f'ing loser. This will be the last thread I start for a while. All the rest, and anything from Bellsouth are not me. Tim O

The game has already told him not. What's so hard to understand here? The graphics card may have a big name, but it doesn't have big performance. Look into upgrading to something like a ATI 9600 Pro : cheap and fast and easily the best reviewed card for a long long time with regards to bang for buck.

NOOOO! Seriously though, you wont be able to play any game with
onboard video. I had Onboard Intel extreme (extremly shit) that was
64mb. It simply cannot cope for {*filter*}. Also Onboard video steals
memory from your ram because it has no onboard vram. I also couldnt
play halo with this, so i bought a Raddy 9600 pro with 256mb vram. Its
Excellent :-) Graet value for money.

2.Halo - video card issue - please help
my pc is only 6 months old (p4 2.2 GHz). the video card is a ProSavage DDR and has the latest driver installed. my copy of Halo is an actual purchased copy. latest halo video patch has been installed. the error msg i keep getting is that the vid card is known to cause issues with the game...and then the game shuts down b4 even loading. the 'unsupported' video cards list only mentions the ProSavage card (an earlier version of my card), but the game reads it as the same. is there a way around this error to see if the game will in fact play on the video card?
3.Halo PC sound and video issues
In Halo for the PC, the nightvision function of the sniper rifle does not work properly. Zooming with the rifle works with the nightvision off, but when it is turned on, everything turns black, even when used in areas of the game where there is plenty of light. Also, during the section of the game where the Master Chief is reviewing the video record of Private Jenkins, only small "blocks" of the video are visible on the screen at any one time. None of these errors were apparently with earlier ATI Catalyst driver releases. Unfortunetely, I do not know which driver that specifically was. Also, voices of people during cut scenes tend to cut out for some reason. This includes among others, the Master Chief, Cortana, and Captain Keyes. Any ideas on resolving these issues? --Elton Sanchez
i got halo for pc i was really excited to play and then it says your computer has known issues with this driver i am very displeased any suggestions to help me please email me and i got all the system requirements here is the video card 32mb S3 prosavage (0x8d040) I AM VERY VERY ANGRY
