halo pc framerate issues!

[proview619]

Ok, first of all hello everyone!
Now, i have an anoying framerate problem with halo.

when i had xp the game would run perfectly, no slow down or anything, but since i installed windows 7, for some reason halo is running very slow especialy in the levels halo( when you look at the big structure when you find the first group of marines) and assault on the control room (when i drive the warthog in the snow(it gets REALY SLOW!!)) and i dont know why, and my specs are more than enough!!(will show later in this post)

Could some help me on this problem, please?

my specs:
CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual CPU E2200 @ 2.20GHz
ram: 3 gb
OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate Edition (build 7600), 32-bit
graphic card: GeForce 8800 GS

Update your Nvidia drivers: NVIDIA DRIVERS 260.89 WHQL

Update your game using the latest patches

I would look up halo patch 1.09.... it added vista compatibility....

 

[proview619]

well i already updated the game, updated the drivers, put in compatibility mode with xp but it still runs slow!
and i dont know why
damn it seems i have to acept it, isnt it?

Some older games such as star craft have issues its sad.

According to WCC its not compatible but it says for "Microsoft Halo: Combat Evolved Custom" the status varies.

i see... so i have to play this game where some parts are slow and others are good
i hope they release an update about this

 

[mckillwashere]

There is a 90% chance there will not be an update since the same is right at 9 years old.... :S

 

[Zeplash]

With that spec why not try some Crysis or DragonAge:Origins....Way 2 go.

I actually enjoyed both Halo and Halo 2. Would be nice to see a rehash of the games for Windows 7

No... I haven't tried either one on 7, however I did play Halo 2 on Vista x64. Ran pretty good.

At any rate good luck with the game play as is, and you might give this a look through, though I don't know if anything in it will help - Tips on Troubleshooting Game Issues

Let us know though.

BTW... did you update your DirectX files?

5 - Update your Direct X files - Contrary to popular belief, just because Windows 7 is DX11 capable doesn’t mean it has the latest DX9 files!!! Most game issues can be fixed by simply updating the DX files.

I would suggest you monitor any background activity and cut-down on anything unnecessary. Also Defrag your drive/s. I don't know if that'll sort your problem but it will improve performance somewhat.

In the Video Settings, try setting the frame rate to a constant 30 FPS. It sounds like you might be using VSYNC or something, which has varying frame rates.

Also, Halo doesn't work on Windows 7? I've used it perfectly on my Windows 7 PC.
