UPDATED (2x): OpenSauce and Halo CE Crashing *PLEASE TEST FOR FEEDBACK*

[jcap]

I can't remember if this is the exact problem I had a few months back or not. If you didn't already, make absolutely sure that you install the DirectX June 2010 update. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

Dud, wtf. I come back here and find that my vote is changed to runs flawlessly on Windows XP.

Also, you must close Xfire to play the game.

Why must I, if this shit runs flawlessly? Either this crap dll is fucked up, or the injector (d3d9.dll) is not injecting properly, which is doubtful because I inject dll hacks into GunZ all the time and it works great with Xfire.

Or crap Xfire is fucked up and doesn't know how to inject properly? Yeah.

Try using any other hooks with Halo, and you'll find out it's Xfire which is at fault. There was a large technical post on the Xfire forums I found at one point, but they never did anything to fix it. Fuck them.

Prove it. I can use Xfire with d3d9.dll injected dll hacks on GunZ, but this shit doesn't work for mai halo?

Because it's not simply an injection. It replaces d3d9.dll completely. Also, problems between OS and Xfire don't really count because that is a known problem which cannot be fixed without Xfire changing the way it is injected into Halo CE.

Another thing: the June update isn't going to help his problem as we found out in the OS_Post Processing thread that it was an incorrect shader: http://www.modacity.net/forums/showt...l=1#post534568

Runs flawlessly as in there are no problems within the engine extension itself, OpenSauce, or how it runs on the operating system. Not my fault people want to hold on to yet-another-chat-program which doesn't want to follow the standard way of hooking a game's directx system to provide the features it has. Other DX hooks like Steam and SoftTH do, which are supported with running along side OS. I can't help shit which doesn't want to be helped in the first place.

honestly, Xfire is crap software and should just be ignored in development... if you want to chat with ur game buddies, then play in windowed mode - where u can easily alt+tab back and forth

Since your issue is with the beta postprocessing system developed by FS, you'll want to consult this thread: http://www.modacity.net/forums/showt...ost-Processing.

I use Steam for my Halo. Doesn't get in the way of ANY development that I know of.
