Test patch 1.09 for compat fixes
Hi all,
Last night I decided to sit down and fix the problem where 64-bit machines with >4GB of RAM complained that you have 0 RAM. That was easy. Then when I tried to test the fix, I discovered the compat problem with the recent IE security fixes, and saw the threads here suggesting that people uninstall them.
That's no good, right?
So I put together a fix for that, too. I'd like you guys to try it out on your various systems and make sure that (a) it fixes those problems, if you had them , and (b) doesn't cause any new ones.
NOTE!!!!!!
This will *not* have any impact on gameplay. All the changes are finished happening before the MGS logo movie even plays! Every time there's a patch, there are always a few people whose internet connections happen to get flaky that day, and they assume there's a correlation. This patch won't change the game. It's your imagination. Really.
This patch is only for HaloPC, not for CE yet. If a little time passes and no one can convince me that the patch is buggy, I'll port the changes over to CE and release both.
This version will network with 1.08 in the same game, it doesn't break compat.
Try it out, reinstall your missing IE patches, and post your results here. If anyone is still running Win98SE (gasp!) let me know if it works as well as previous versions.
Thanks!

Tested the patch. It works perfectly on my 6gb Vista 64 computer and on my 1gb Windows XP Computer. No problems with IE. Thanks for caring about us (if that is what you are acting out of). I am slightly disappointed that this breaks the links between halo and some of the 3rd party programs I use, but that will hopefully be fixed in time. Its too bad bungie gave up on Halo 1. From my perspective, it seems to be the best out of all the halo games, and has proven itself so. Why is it that bungie can't see this fact? Awell. To those of you complaining about the netcode: halo has so many errors, 1 man can't fix them all. Sawnose has already said this. I would like to thank you for the game from a different minority of halo players who like to exploit the games flawed physics engine for fun. The stunters/glitchers of halo are happy to have this game to play in. And your interest, though much less then what we would prefer, is appreciated. Although it will never happen, it'd be really awesome in players from halo 3 and bungie devs were to move back to the game that started it all. Anyways, thanks again. Peace, Mator
