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!

Installed the patch on a XP 32 bit machine with no problems (other than the poor wireless at my house =P ) My girlfriend says her vista can't get through unless she joins through xfire. ...And as a fellow programmer with no offense to the modding community, but there are somethings that Sawnose won't be able to do. Because of politics, source code, and that fact that most people like to keep well paying jobs... I doubt there'll ever be support for 3rd party apps unless its from the 3rd party themselves. So while there'll be next to no help here for anything not originally included in the Halo code, normally most 3rd party developers hide on Modacity and messageboards like that. I'm a strict halo only player but I hope this helps in your search for support. =)
