H2V on XP?

Limited, your wrong. Look at lightnings post back a page or so. He also has it working.

Oh snap, dano's right

Bloody hell takes ages to load example.scenerio

Intel GMA 950 (> . < )

Won't even run it on Vista. Fails to load the rasterizer because it doesn't support DXDFMT_R32F (which, if I'm not mistaken, is 32 bit floating decimal point red channel? I may be way off, I don't work much with DirectX texture formats)


This is great, I'm going to slap this on my desktop so I can get the game >_>
I'll try it out with the editing kit for now, as all I have is Sapien (which of course, doesn't run on my GMA 950 for reasons mentioned above)

EDIT:
So Live should, theoretically, be able to work, if you do everything correctly? That's good to hear.
I may yet be able to join the H2PC community >_>

EDIT:
Holy crap, no way, H2 Sapien gets further along on f***ing Linux than it does on Vista
lmao

Too bad my gfx card doesn't work with it...
Hmm...

It takes that long for all scenarios. D:

Too bad Live is still unselectable though.

I found a nice release, which let you play Halo 2 on Windows XP.
Here is a little tutorial how to install it on XP.
Installation Instructions:
1a) download these files on rapidshare:
http://rapidshare.com/files/38746999/Halo.2.XP.Patch-NoGrp.rar
1b) Extract the archive.
2) Insert the Halo 2 DVD
3) Run Startup.exe on the Halo 2 DVD using the included Loader.exe
Ie.: Loader.exe D:\Startup.exe
4) Install the game.
5) Install XLiveRedist1.0.6027.msi and vcredist.msi from the \redists dir on the Halo 2 DVD.
6) Copy the following files into the directory you installed Halo 2:
dwmapi.dll, mf.dll, MFPlat.dll
7) Finished. To play the game, run halo2.exe using the included Loader.exe
Ie.: Loader.exe "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo 2\halo2.exe"
Notes:
You need to be logged in with an administrator account for Loader.exe to work, since it uses privileged API's.
Currently the code for playing the intro and credits movies is unimplemented,
so if you want to see them you'll have to play them yourself (they're located in \movie).
I haven't tested the online functionality of the game, it will probably need more attention.
Have fun playing

DOH!

Those are the instruction for the WoW loader XD

[Syuusuke]

Hamachi anyone?

Aww It won't load the campaign for me...it's stuck on that screen..

[thehoodedsmack]

So.... is this only through the wow loader?

[InnerGoat]

Hamachi anyone?

I can't use network either. They didn't open up after I gave it a CD key...

Download this version of Wowloader.. the MF.dll file in there can get you into the lobby.. But I can't join any games for some reason..

[InnerGoat]

Now it won't even load the game... lmao.

edit- the mf.dll I had was 32KB. This one is 4KB, and crashes loading. :sigh:
