Custom Resolution?

[beele]

you can't

[Hl2xpd]

you can't

is it because it doesnt have a built in option to force it? or will it not run without shader 2.0 at all? can I try forcing it with some utility?

what other ways can I incease performance of halo2? any tweaks? there isnt much I can set in the ingame settings.

It won't run Shader 2.0 at all.

If you can somehow force it (probably hacking it) it'll look ugly and you'll probably not recognize things you see.

And yea, the video settings aren't too...diverse.

I just read somewhere that the way MS programs its games it be unlikely to run halo2 on previous shader versions until someone releases a mod version with lower res textures and reduce shaders, which looks even more unlikely.

but still, anyone by any chance knows if some developement related to this is going on somewhere or is planned to, in near future?

Get more ram, a new processor "if its outdated" , and a new video card if needed. Halo 2 is a power hog like anyone who played it knows. I have a top end computer but i still have problems. I think i'm gonna just get into UT3 anyways.

Ask santa for a new videocard.

or Mrs. Clause just thought id throw that in there. New video Card is needed

Also, I think BioShock is easier to "mod" than H2V.
