So I got Halo 2 vista about a month ago and I have a problem witht the game in which it kind of "stutters". For lack of a better word it tends to hiccup very often.

From what I ve been reading on the internet its the Nvidia drivers that are causing this problem and that I should force V-sync on in the Nvidia control panel but that still wont work. It would be great if someone could help me with this problem. Thank you in advance.

PC specs:

29994 Mb RAM
Nvidia Ge force 8400 GS 512 mb
Windows vista home premium

Unless that's a typo, there is no way you can have 30 gigs of RAM.

Only 16 Gig's are available at once, so far.

8400 GS, that might be the problem, I have no idea if that is able to support it.

Trying running at the lowest settings first, unless it's absolutely shit at the lowest =/ then see how well it runs as you increase quality.

Not sure about your card. But it does the same thing for mine. The nvidia drivers have a bug in them that H2 Vista doesn't like. So it tends to jump. The only way to get rid of it is to go back to an older driver.

^ What Bob said. For some reason I have never been able to comprehend, any driver beyond nVidia's 177.41 (as far as I know. If anyone has got any driver beyond this to make it run smoothly, please let me know) has caused the game to stutter. So it's a choice on your part I'm afraid; keep to an older driver and sacrifice performance in a few other games, or just upgrade and don't play H2V that often.

get an xbox and a copy of halo 2 for that, throw away h2v ;)
There are to many problems with it, you'd be better of playing it on the xbox.

It clearly says he is using:



Windows vista home premium

So I dunno. I was only referring to his system.

I seem to remember windows 64bit supports upto 128gb's of ram and i have seen motherboards supporting 24GB's.
Though where you would get ram sticks in excess of 6gb's per module is beyond me.
