WSAENOTSOCK Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 My brother just bought HALO, and he know nothing about computers, so I am forced to install it. Anyways, I get a DirectX error whenever I try to load the game up. It says exactly this: A problem occured initializing Direct3D, Hardware Acceleration may be disabled. Please run DXDIAG Thing is, hardware acceleration IS running. Everything is working fine for Direct3D as well. I tested it. Someone help me out, please.

Eskimo Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 i have trouble with semi older games like Unreal Tournament with DX 9.0b so that could be your problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayabusa Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 yeah, I tried the Halo for PC demo, but I got the same error. Since I couldn't find a way to fix it after a long search, I decided not to get Halo. :? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrade_Jerkov Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 One of my friends says the PC Halo sucks and so do its graphics. It also has lags 8 times worse than DC. It gets like 25-30 fpsThe only thing I can say is try returning and telling them the game is "defective" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotty Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 hell returning it and sayign "its halo" shuold be excuse enough...want my advice? buy an X box (BLASPHEMY AAGHHH MY EARS) and get it on that, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paradigm Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 Uh, its actually a good game for PC, but really only for the multiplayer. New weapons, better driveable vehicles, and such. The graphics don't suck either. And I do have it for xbox, as does wsae. But if you read correctly, his brother bought it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enders Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 my PC currently is better than an Xbox.I have HaloPC and I 100% prefer it over the Xbox.As para said, new maps/weapons, graphics are just over the Xbox's, and you just can't beat the mouse and keyboard combo, Halo was made for mouse and keyboard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrade_Jerkov Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 Well yeah now that I think of it the kid I was talking about does have a shitty computer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruud Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 I got Halo too, and it does also run very bad on my computer. But the thing is that my computer is above average Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnie Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 I got Halo on PC too. I had a lot of problems of installing it. And on my pc 2.4 with Geforce 4 Ti 4600 it was not very fast, thats the reason in the end i have deinstalled it. The PC Version is not much better than the Xbox Verson, i think. On the Xbox i played a lot. But without cheats i had on some levels great problems. I hoped when i have the pc version i can play the whole game, but the problems were too big... Now i play the Halo Mod on BF1942 instead... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
