Halo 1 PC 1.08 has released
[img]http://www.bungie.net/images/games/halopc/patch/halopccd.jpg[/img]
See that? Good. Now bookmark this page, because you'll have to come back here if you want to see it again. As an added treat for our loyal users still playing Halo PC after 5 years, I got clearance to discontinue the CD check as part of this patch! This doesn't change the licensing (don't pass around your disc), and you still need your unique product key to play online, but I figure your CD is probably pretty scratched after all this time, and it deserves a break. Anyway, on to the patch...
This is build 1.0.8.616, and is the official version of the test release from the other day. To give you confidence that you're playing on a patched server, this build is not backwards-compatible with old servers, nor will the new server work with old clients. For this reason, I'm posting the patches here a day and a half before I'll mark them for auto-updating in-game. This way, server operators have a little time to roll out the new bits before Friday's auto-patch of the client.
If you haven't been following the pre-release threads, this patch contains several fixes for server-crashing security bugs, and that's it. As I have discussed elsewhere, anti-aimbotting is an arms race that we're not going to enter for this old game, and this patch doesn't address that or any other feature-level changes. I should also note that Bungie does not officially support Halo PC (which is owned by Microsoft, not Bungie) but since the build machine is under my desk and not at MS, I fixed these several bugs as a favor to the community. I can't promise any future support, nor can I open-source the code for community development.
There are 4 patch files. If you aren't sure which one you want, you want the first one only.
[url=http://www.bungie.net/images/games/halopc/patch/halopc108patch.exe]Halo PC 1.08 Patch[/url]
[url=http://www.bungie.net/images/games/halopc/patch/haloded.exe]Halo PC 1.08 Dedicated Server[/url]
[url=http://www.bungie.net/images/games/halopc/patch/haloce108patch.exe]Halo Custom Edition 1.08 Patch[/url]
[url=http://www.bungie.net/images/games/halopc/patch/haloceded.exe]Halo Custom Edition 1.08 Dedicated Server[/url]
To use the patch files, you must already have the corresponding game installed. To update your dedicated server install, just drop the appropriate file over the old one. Halo "Custom Edition" is an "unsupported" (but popular) version of the game that allows user-created maps, and is available for download from Gearbox and other mirror sites.
Remember, the game will [i]require[/i] this patch to play online starting Friday (and I'll update the MOTD at that time too.)
Enjoy!

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] GermanHaloFanboy Oh guys, that pisses me off...I can't connect to any server! Everytime I try to connect to one a message pops up "Unable to join the game server". What does that mean? I didn't change anything... Hm, could it be, that this error is caused by joining to game servers with custom maps? I've noted, that there are no servers listed with the original maps....[/quote] At least I'm not the only one with a server problem :)
-
Ok, after giving it time things are workin a bit better. The lead is back to normal. ( I played when all the servers were switchin, so that was why there was lag ) I really hope that bot is not released... This weekend was great, playing in servers were you knew people didnt bot. Well it was nice to play with people that dont bot for atleast alittle while. Honestly lots of people must bot, most of the people in the servers this weekend sucked..
-
It was shown on modacity, and they guy who made it could release it if he wanted to.

[quote]Also, the one made by Dave & Shaun (Racer_S & bitterbanana) does still work as i was using it last night (on the .... 30-odd servers that actually wanted to update) :p[/quote] So far, for me, it isn't working. I just downloaded a new one, I hope it works. It still won't work! I'm fine playing halo without FOV modifier on my older PC that has a non-wide screen monitor, but that PC only has Intel-integrated graphics. But on my PC with the wide screen, it feels like I'm playing on 40-50 FOV. Can you tell me where you got yours? Looks at the PP and AR in here: [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uH3qFI8DJBQ[/url] That's what I want my FOV. Now look at my low FOV: [url]http://img253.imageshack.us/img253/8486/assult2vu2.jpg[/url] (It is slightly higher in this pic than it is in game, about 5-10 FOV higher) Imagine playing halo at 40-50 FOV, it's not fun. What I want, is FOV like this: [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8olp0hoVYw&feature=related[/url] OR [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58QEqCo2whY&feature=related[/url] Like that. I HATE having to play halo at what seems to be about 45-50 FOV. And as soon as my FOV hack is activated,it gives me an exception, or does nothing. [b]Edit: After holding down the * key in halo 1, I got it to work, after about 15 exceptions, BUT, not matter what I do, it WILL NOT change in Halo:custom edition (this is the one I mostly Play)[/b] [Edited on 08.09.2008 7:37 AM PDT]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Btcc22 Not sure if anybody else has this, but it seems that a memory address reference (or whatever) needs to be updated for 1.08. I've tried on two machines and get the same error upon exiting the game on both: http://touringnet.co.uk/misc/hpc108error.jpg I thought that looked like an address in the Halo CE range (been a long time since, so maybe I'm wrong), but anyway, there we go.[/quote] same problem here windows vista 64 bit home premium btw: at my computer and those from my friends every time when you try to get list you only get like 60 servers and my updated server isn't even in the list... ow and can there be an update for the decals/slow fps and vista, and maybe the nvidia fix? i don't think much people are playing at an geforche 3 atm...(and if they do they should put resolution lower and quality) btw can you tell us which files to edit to fix widescreen text message problems? cause i could try to change it but idk which files and what to change(the height stuff? i guess its in pixels) [Edited on 08.09.2008 6:04 AM PDT]

Destineer (MacSoft) have posted this on their Halo Mac support page: [quote]Important note regarding latest PC update The latest 1.0.8 PC Halo update broke cross-platform networking. We are aware of this issue and are actively working on an update. We do not have a projected release date, but keep an eye on this page for updates.

For the people mentioning the FOV 'hack'. Widescreen isn't technically supported for the game as it is some years old. If you do play Halo on WS you end up with a very very zoomed in screen where you literally cannot see much of the playing field. These programs are very useful for zooming back out and allowing you to actually play and see. Also, the one made by Dave & Shaun (Racer_S & bitterbanana) does still work as i was using it last night (on the .... 30-odd servers that actually wanted to update) :p

Just wanted to say thanks for the update. Very cool that after all these years someone still wanted to take the time to fix some things. Love the "no CD required" feature. I'm kind of surprised how many Mac users there are out there. Our group of about 30 guys has 6 or 7 Mac users (who are anxiously awaiting the fix for their machines). They are unable to play at the moment, of course, so I'm putting in my vote for an expedited Mac patch. Sawnose, thanks for passing on to your contact in the Mac world that there are a bunch of Mac users patiently waiting. We appreciate all you have done and are doing.

Terribly disappointing :( Mac users just got the game taken away. No patch for Mac yet. Been playing with no CD for the last 2 years... even though I've bought two copies of the game. Thanks but no thanks.
-
Well so far all good for me.....but it was really funny when we started to see a lot of players quiting on the game ...trying come bck then quiting again, until we found out by asking one of them what was going on...he said "My game its giving me an Gathering exception error when i try to load my Aimbot or Sight Jaker"....now that was really funny and i like the idea they wont work anymore. Does anyone else have the same error? I am really hoping the Aimbots wont work in the game with the new patch. I installed 2 different ones about an hour ago and got the error when i try to use it.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] abhip *sigh* Well dont go thinking that we dont appreciate this, but many of us dont use the cd anyway. Also I am guessing the memory was recoded(Just a guess) Good thing bots dont work (for the moment) Sightjacker dosnt work, FOV changers dont work. The worst part is the lead. What you just did was make everyone noobs again, We will have to learn to shoot all over again. I have been in many different servers today and all i have heard is complaints. " I would rather play with botters than not be able to shoot " Is one of the many Things I have heard, You didnt help us halo lovers out you just made us want to not even bother learning how to shoot again. If yuo made a complaint thread somewhere I am sure you will see it is not just me. What we want is the old version back, Thank you. [/quote] What are you on about? Leading is the same. Good riddance to the botters, for now :)
-
For filmmakers, all apps for PC or CE don't seem to work, but alldev does work, so you still have camera mode. That was one of the most intense page up presses I've had. I was like, if I get an exception... my youtube days are over. I'm glad I'm still in business.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Valce This patch is actually quite disappointing... [b]it doesn't fix or include anything noteworthy[/b]. I hardly even call this a patch. Fan made CD bypasses have been on the Internet for years now and still no countermeasure to aimbots... after 5 years?[/quote] Only script kiddies being able to take down any server they want to...
-
WHEN, will the mac upgrade be available. Come on guys, sorry, I really think you guys should have considered this before the patch was done. Could we make it quick PLEASE. At least make a patch that allows them get access to the servers even if it does not actually fix anything.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] db SOLO48 just try to join the ones in the list and they all will be 1.08 servers unless you did not download it right.[/quote] I downloaded it right but there are no servers at all showing up but I am able to join through xfire.

just try to join the ones in the list and they all will be 1.08 servers unless you did not download it right.
-
I f you were trying to join your server then it has to be reinstalled by you or your admins for that company ok cause thats where I got that like you got but i was able to join from the list.
-
Notice I said that it is appreciated, I dont care really about all the 3rd party software, but there is lag and warp problems now. We are gratefull dont get me wrong, but If its between a disc in the drive and playing a lag free game of halo.. Then I go with the lag free.
-
I've been playing w/ out my CD for a while now. Just use a virtual drive, mount the image, and you're good to go. My CD is scratch-free, sitting in it's case. It's only been spun a few times, when I've had to reinstall. I guess this patch will save me a few mouse clicks, though! ;)
-
Honestly guys... Sawnose rewrites all this code after months of everyone whining (myself included) about various issues and all you guys can do is whine about how your 3rd party programs have gone out the window... First, if you're gonna whine about those programs not working... whine to the guys who developed these programs to update them or go back to the previous version of Halo. Bungie doesn't make these things and honestly for most the complaints like FoV hacks they shouldn't need to. In the past I've seen people use FoV hacks to gain an unfair advantage such as putting it in 3rd person to sneak a peek behind walls or whatever. So really you shouldn't waste your breath here about it as its a 3rd party cheat from what I've seen and bungie never developed it. The game was designed to play as a [b]first person shooter[/b] and anything else is a mod. Personally I'd like to have sightjacker back to catch bots but I'm not gonna bark at someone who worked hard to try and fix server crash issues and offer a no-cd fix. I won't even bark about anti-aimbot code because the people who program these bots will just reprogram them after being nagged at by botters. So thanks Sawnose for this latest update and hopefully these issues will iron themselves out overtime. =) [Edited on 08.08.2008 7:38 PM PDT]
