If you mean you tried version changer with the exact, matching build, then I'm stumped.

I'll try this later.

If someone wants to give me the exact build number I'll implement it into my OS and see if it works.

Also knowing a name of a 1.09 server would be good :P. Then again I know it won't work on dedicated servers.

It works.

(More than just uncommenting code)

Anyone working on a dev-mode switcher? Bitterbanana's stopped working...

Having not played CE in a while, and because I played it on an older, "traditional" PC setup, I find it funny how much people rely on hacks to play the game.

Why exactly can't people just cut their losses and just update to 1.09 without things like OS, sightjacker, FOV, and aimbots? Everyone bitches incessantly about creating splits in the community, yet if everyone would just suck it up for a while until people figure out the new offsets, we wouldn't be having this problem of people staying behind on older versions and trying to circumvent the build check so they can use their precious hacks. The core functionality of the game is not broken even in the slightest from what I understand, it's not like only certain maps will work with v1.08 or anything.

Wow. Been a while since I posted here. Anyway, so I'm having problems with this new patch. Normally I run Windows Media Player, and the Dev client. After the update installed I restarted the game, and then got an exception. So I closed all other non vital programs, and I still got an exception.

Does this update cause exceptions? Because if so, it's not a very fun update. I can't even get into a server before I get an exception.

Because halo is old and boring and custom FOVs and weapon positions are pretty much the only reason I can still play it alongside more recent games.

The reason pbear, is because people dont want to update the apps. OS is unlikely to get updated, no one can be bothered to update the addresses, because whos to say in a month, 1.1 one be released as mandatory? rec0 won't work, its doubtful anyone will want to update it.

I think you underestimate how key 3rd party apps are to halo ce.

everything broke


updaters remorse

We spent all that time finding the addresses. Now we have to find them again. :|

The dev-mode switcher was probably one of the more useful apps. I mainly used it for dev-cam and testing out my maps online when they're not all the way done and I need to spawn something.
